Now, in their junior year of college, they're living under the same roof - and no amount of bickering can hide the tension simmering just beneath the surface. Between figure skating competitions and hockey games, the line between rivalry and something deeper begins to blur. But falling for someone you've spent your whole life fighting with?

Slapshot
When Sloan transfers to the University of Maine, she's ready for a fresh start-new classes, new friends, and absolutely no distractions. But her plan doesn't account for Rowan, the confident sophomore forward for the Black Bears hockey team. As their friend groups collide, Sloan finds herself pulled into his orbit-study sessions turn into late-night coffee runs, and quiet glances say more than either of them is ready to admit. But beneath Rowan's easy grin and Sloan's careful composure, both are hiding scars from the past they'd rather forget. And sometimes, even when you find the right person, timing isn't on your side. How many times have you walked past the person who is your forever?

Just Pucking Money (UNI Lions #4) [COMPLETED]
They're on opposite ends of the financial spectrum. Complete contrasts when it comes to popularity. And their relationship has a deadline. Lily: College was never supposed to be this hard. It wasn't supposed to be about working to survive, going hungry, and sleeping in my car. And it sure as hell wasn't supposed to be about dodging my icky exboyfriend while trying not to die from embarrassment when my roommates make my new crush public. But it is what it is, and I always find a way to get by. When I'm not working, I'm studying. That is, until the crush that's way out of my league starts paying me attention. Ethan: One last year of freedom. It cost my dad a summer of partying and a three million dollar car, but I'm back at college. I have one year to get as much partying and playing done as possible. This year is all about hockey and sex. I'll have plenty of time for boardroom meetings and forced golf outings after I graduate. It's supposed to be meaningless sex, but I'm not sure every part of me got the memo. Because when I first spot Lily... Well, I need her. Just Pucking Money is a sizzling New Adult, College Sports Romance, where the popular hockey player falls for the loner computer science major. (❤️18+ recommended❤️)Complete
First Love
Aabriell Mian built her life with careful precision - elegant, self-sufficient, and wholly in control. Owning a successful café and living in a penthouse overlooking the city, she's perfectly content. Love? Optional. Marriage? Never. After all, she'd learned early that giving your heart away meant surrendering the safety of solitude. And that was something she never intended to do. Damian Ainsley doesn't believe in forcing fate - but when fate brings him back into Aabriell's orbit years after a university encounter that never quite left his heart, he knows he can't let her slip away again. Charming, patient, and steady where she is sharp, Damian sees through Aabriell's walls - not to break them down, but to stand quietly beside them until she's ready to open the door. As they slowly begin to navigate a partnership - first through a shared café project and then through something far more personal - Aabriell is forced to confront the vulnerability she's always avoided. Their relationship isn't a whirlwind. It's deliberate. Intimate. Real. And when love asks her to stay, to build, to let go of fear, Aabriell will have to decide if she can trust herself to say yes.Complete
