Beneath the Ice

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.

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.
