A steamy, slow-burn sports romance about boundaries, trust, and the magnetic pull of opposites.
When guarded sports physiotherapist Nova Reyes takes a job with the NHL's most media-hyped team, the last thing she wants is a distraction-especially not in the form of golden-boy star winger Luka Hale. He's everything she avoids: loud, charming, and too good at making people fall for him.
She's ice. He's sunshine.
She keeps her past locked down. He wears his heart on his sleeve.
But when therapy sessions turn into late-night conversations and tension melts into something electric, they'll have to choose: play it safe-or risk everything for the kind of love that doesn't hide in the shadows.

Thrown together by chance and college routines, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. As they navigate friendship, ambition, and the unspoken fears they carry, Herinetta and Tobias slowly learn that sometimes the greatest strength comes from letting someone in-and that love can begin in the quietest moments.Concluida
Life Playbook (Playbook Series #1)
Teo Hallberg returned to Gothenburg chasing a comeback that no longer felt like his. Once the NHL's golden boy, now he's fighting through injuries, bad press, and the quiet weight of depression he won't admit to anyone. Liv has built her career on control, hiding her battle with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension behind professionalism and strict boundaries. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a hockey player, especially one whose life is already a media circus. But Teo isn't what she expected. He's quiet where she imagined arrogance and careful where she thought she'd find ego. And against her better judgment, their routine check-ups turn into late-night walks, playful texts, and a pull she can't ignore. But life off the ice is harder than any game. Nova Källström's media-perfect appearances, Anton Vahlgren's easy charm, and Liv's own health struggles threaten to pull them apart before they ever fully get a chance. To stay together, Teo has to stop chasing who he was and fight for who he wants to be and Liv has to trust that letting someone in doesn't mean losing herself. Set against the backdrop of Gothenburg's hockey scene, Life Playbook is a slow-burn, emotional sports romance about second chances, choosing love over fear, and finding home where you least expect it.

The Sweetest Deal
Jane Caughill: Not a nobody, definitely not a somebody. From a young age Jane knew she was different. She could tell you how many boats were on Lake Mead or a random fact about giraffes if she wanted to. But the one question she can't answer is what she's going to do after college. Being undeniably smart had its pros: an early graduation and a bright future in the medical field. Though, it also had its cons: the constant nagging and reliance everybody had on her. But no matter what, she always found herself helping them. Here's the plan so far: graduate, land a high-paying job in the medical field, live a happy life, the end. But ever since Jane had stepped into that bakery back home as a child, she'd been hooked on the craft. But she's strapped for cash and the pre-med track sounds a whole lot more financially promising. All she needed to do for the next 3 years was keep her head down and work off her pending college loans. The last thing she thought she'd be doing was tutoring some jock. • • • • • • • • Aiden Parker: Definitely not a nobody, and most definitely a somebody. As a three year starter for one of the most prolific college hockey teams in the country he has it all going for him. The looks, the talent, the charm. But when it comes to the classroom he's quite literally failing. With the team nearing playoffs and a sweet chance at the title, Aiden needs to find a way to boost his grades or risk riding the bench. What he wasn't expecting was to be tutored by some chick who could give Einstein a run for his money. She could be a bit shy at times, a bit lost in her thoughts too, but she's exactly what he needs to keep his spot on the team. The two of them strike a deal: she tutors him, he pays her, and that's that. Developing feelings wasn't a part of the deal. But as his feelings fail to dissipate, he begins to realize that maybe winning a championship won't be the sweetest victory after all. Winning the girl is.
