However, Nico is busy playing Captain of the New Jersey Devils and can't house his childhood friend. That's when Timo Meier, Nico's teammate and total heartthrob steps in, allowing Charli to stay at his apartment until she's back on her feet. But when Charli and Timo find themselves in.. interesting.. positions, will they be able to keep their cool? Or will the forced proximity trope, one of Charli's favourites, prove itself true?

Under the Spotlight - Luke Hughes
You grew up with Luke Hughes - backyard hockey games, late-night study sessions, stolen glances that turned into something real long before either of you were ready for the world to see it. Now, years later, you're one of the most recognizable faces on social media. A brand, a name, an empire. Millions of followers know your routines, your travels, your red carpet moments - but not the boy who's been beside you through it all. Because Luke Hughes isn't just your childhood best friend anymore. He's your secret. Your high school sweetheart. Your fiancé. He's also one of the NHL's brightest stars - and keeping your love out of the spotlight is getting harder every day. Especially when your life revolves around the sport that links you both. You post about hockey. You talk about being a "WAG." You attend Devils games and road trips under the guise of "content creation." But no one - not the fans, not the tabloids, not even your management - knows the truth. When you're invited to compete on Dancing With the Stars, one fateful camera pan threatens to change everything. Suddenly, the secret you've guarded for years might finally see the light - and for the first time, the two of you will have to decide what's worth protecting more: your privacy, or your love.Complete

Now, after years of hard work, she's finally graduating as a veterinary technician and is ready to prove that following her heart was worth it. On graduation day, she's running late while also juggling her cap, gown, and nerves as she races through the city's hockey arena where the ceremony is being held. She ends up crashing straight into Callum Bennett, the hockey star of the BrooksRidge Sparks. Callum Bennett has never had trouble getting attention on or off the ice. With a killer smile, easy charm, and enough confidence to fill an arena, he's the kind of guy everyone recognizes and few really know. The son of a retired hockey legend and a brilliant college professor, Callum's been under pressure since he could walk.

A few weeks later, fate intervenes when Emory's clinic partners with Callum's team for a "Paws & Players" adoption event. One glance and neither can pretend their hallway collision was just a coincidence. Between camera flashes and undeniable chemistry, Emory and Callum find themselves breaking every rule they swore to keep. They both don't do relationships. But sometimes, the best kind of love is the one that wasn't in the game plan at all.Complete

Silent Temptation ✔️ || 18 +
Temptation has an uncanny resemblance to Leon Collin's • • • She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home-with a grin and a proposition she can't refuse. • • • Leon and Charlottes story (can be read as a standalone but is part of a series - read sinful liabilities first if you want to) • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young, and far too unforgettable. Now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.Complete
