Off the Ice
By Jolene Smith

She's spent her whole life trying not to be seen. He's the boy the whole school can't stop watching.

Lily Adams has perfected the art of being invisible - quiet clothes, buried in books, never making a ripple in the loud, chaotic world of high school. She's convinced herself it's safer that way. No attention means no hurt.

Blake Carter is the golden boy of Westfield High - hockey captain, local hero, and everyone's favorite heartthrob. His future seems written in bold headlines and bright lights. But behind the charm and spotlight, Blake is more than just the guy on the ice.

When a twist of fate - and a spilled book - brings their worlds crashing together, Lily suddenly finds herself under a spotlight she never asked for. Whispers, rumors, jealousy... and the one boy who refuses to let her fade into the background again.

As their connection deepens, so do the shadows of Lily's past - and when someone she thought she left behind resurfaces, the life she's built begins to unravel. Together, Lily and Blake must decide what's worth fighting for - love, truth, or the safety of silence.

Off the Ice is a heart-stirring, slow-burn romance about healing, being seen, and finding strength where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Icebreaker, The Deal, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before.All Rights Reserved

She's a sophomore at Columbia University-sharp, ambitious, and unforgettable. After years of loneliness and bullying growing up, she arrived on campus determined to reinvent herself. Now, she's thriving: top of her classes, surrounded by real friends, and chasing her dream of becoming a best-selling author. Her warm, magnetic presence draws people in, but beneath her confidence lingers the pain of her past. Then there's him-the boy she's clashed with since her first week. Quick-witted, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, every encounter between them sparks tension, teasing, and undeniable chemistry. Their rivalry is a constant game of snark and stolen glances, but beneath all the banter, something deeper simmers-something neither of them is ready to admit. Because sometimes, the line between enemies and something more is thinner than it seems. ღ He's the campus bad boy-the hockey captain with a smirk that melts ice and a reputation for chaos and charm. Raised on New York's Upper East Side, he grew up surrounded by wealth, but beneath the polished surface, his childhood was marked by divorce, loneliness, and broken family ties. College at Columbia offered him a fresh start, and he quickly made himself a king on campus-top of his class, star athlete, life of every party. But everything changed when he met her. From their first encounter, she challenged him like no one else ever had. Their banter was electric, their tension undeniable. What started as teasing and rivalry slowly twisted into something deeper-something real. Because beneath the smirks and sarcasm, she saw the pieces of him no one else bothered to look for. And that scared him more than he cared to admit.

In Pucking Love by aveeywrites

Then she meets Levi Hunter. Captain of the team. League MVP. NHL's golden boy. And the one guy her dad has literally warned every player about. He's cocky, charming, and stupidly gorgeous. And for some reason, he won't stay out of her way, or her thoughts. What starts as innocent flirting turns into stolen glances at practice, late night texts, and a spark that threatens to become something deeper. In a world where the game comes first, falling for him might just be the riskiest play Maddie's ever made. And in hockey, one wrong move can cost you everything. *closed door romance*

Sophie Jameson was once the girl who lit up every room. Big laugh. Bigger smile. Always the first to spill the gossip and the last to leave the party. Until Brad. He was charming at first. Sweet. The kind of guy who made her believe in fairytales-until he showed her a very different side. A cruel side. A violent side. The side that left Sophie bruised, guarded, and questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Now she doesn't trust easily. Doesn't let people close. The spark that once defined her is gone. Enter Dylan Matthews. Defenseman for the Titans. The team flirt. Loud, playful, golden-retriever energy wrapped up in hockey gear. He's the boy who never stops chirping, never stops smiling-and somehow, he notices the girl who's forgotten how to. Sophie doesn't think she's ready for someone like Dylan. Someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Someone who looks at her like she's still the girl she used to be. But the more time she spends with him-and with Grace, who refuses to let her slip away-the more Sophie begins to remember that she isn't broken. She's healing. She's laughing again. She's falling. And maybe, just maybe, Dylan Matthews is the one who can remind her what love is supposed to feel like. A story of heartbreak, healing, friendship, and the kind of love that mends even the deepest wounds-Mending On Ice will break your heart, then piece it back together.

BOOK 1: She wants to be perfect. He needs to be in control. Neither of them knows how to let go. Darcie Sinclair has spent her whole life chasing perfection-on the ice, in the mirror, and in the eyes of a mother who just wants to see her succeed. As a sophomore at Columbia, she should be living the dream: a figure skater with upper-class connections and the perfect college experience. But when she looks in the mirror, all she sees is someone who isn't enough-never thin enough, never good enough, never perfect. Caiden Winter lives his life for one person: his father. As Columbia's star hockey player and a brilliant engineering student, he's built himself into the kind of son his father can parade around-disciplined, accomplished, untouchable. But behind the cold composure, Caiden is one wrong move away from shattering under the weight of expectations he can't escape. When a chance encounter between a perfectionist figure skater and a controlled, untouchable hockey player turns into something neither of them planned for, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways that feel dangerous-and freeing. But in a world of parties, privilege, and unspoken rules, love isn't as simple as falling. It's about losing control. It's about letting someone see you-every broken piece. Perfect on Ice is a steamy, emotional college romance about love, pressure, and the courage it takes to want something for yourself.
