After losing her best friend and skating partner, Alina Sokolov finds herself unraveling; until the last person she expects starts pulling her back together: her brother's best friend.
                   𐙚⋆.˚          
Alina Sokolov was supposed to be chasing gold medals and university deadlines with her best friend, Mateo, at her side. But one brutal night leaves her stuck in a loop of grief and guilt; she transfers schools, moves in with her brother, and promises to try again.

Only trying is harder than she thought. She can't unpack a single box in her room, she flinches at the sound of skates on ice, and therapy feels like talking into an echo.

Enter Cade Vaughn: hockey star, relentless flirt, and her brother's infuriating best friend. Cade is everything Alina doesn't want or need: loud, distracting, nosy; but somehow, he keeps showing up. With a joke when she's silent. A smile when she's spiraling. And a way of seeing her that makes her feel like she's still in one piece.

But grief doesn't let go easily. And when buried memories begin to resurface, Alina is forced to decide whether she'll keep running from the past-or let someone stay long enough to help her face it.

She is just looking for a place where she belongs. ✶ ✶ ✶ I followed her eyes wandering around the circle and halted on me. Her lips curved upwards and my forehead creased in confusion. She stood from her place and ambled towards me, making my eyes go round. Why the hell is she coming towards me?! Stopping in front of me, she bent her beautiful face and peeked at me through her eyelashes. "Can I kiss you... Griffin?" She asked, blinking her gorgeous blue eyes. Holy Cow! She expects me to answer that?! My throat suddenly felt dry, and no word come out of my mouth. From the corner of my eye, I saw Will glaring at her while others snickered. My eyes automatically fluttered close as Zoe leaned in until our noses touched. I felt my heart thumping in my ears and my breath hitched. F**k, I'm in trouble! ✶ ✶ ✶ [Words count: 60,000 - 90,000]

Live a little, écrit par ellieruewrites37

Anxious overachiever, Sophia Calloway, has a plan; graduate top of her class, get into a top 3 law school, keep her head down and emotions quieter. So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.

Solace In The Silence ✓✓, écrit par Margaret_Gemmar

When Jake lifted his chin up, his dark gaze locking on mine, my stomach ignited like someone had set a match to an ember. His eyes burned with equal longing as they skated over me, lingering on my mouth. His voice came out hoarse when he spoke. "Is there anything else you need?" You , I was tempted to say. Instead, I just shook my head and practically fled to the bathroom, crazily aware of how loud my heart was thundering in my ears. Jake tucked a strand of my damp hair back behind my ear. "Do you need me to put a shirt on, or do you think you can manage to keep your hands to yourself for one night?" he teased. My blood pounded in embarrassment, but I knew even a nun would struggle to uphold self-restraint while sleeping next to Jake. He was devastatingly gorgeous, to begin with, Bess has been in love with Jake Watford her Best friend's brother for a very long time and he somehow never seemed to notice her before . Through her friend's referral to her brother she can finally make Jake notice her. Indulging, intoxicating and a thrilling story. WARNING: This story may contain mature scenes.

Teach Me Not to Fall, écrit par TheNovelist28

Eva Graham is a guarded, no-nonsense social science major who studies human behavior to understand why people leave-and how to make sure she never lets the wrong ones in. She keeps to herself, avoids drama, and especially avoids campus athletes, whom she considers walking red flags. Cole Grayson is a third-year psychology major, a cocky ice hockey star with a grin that disarms and a fanbase full of puck bunnies. While everyone sees him coasting, Cole's under constant pressure-trying to go pro, balancing school, and keeping up a charming front to hide just how much he's cracking underneath. When Cole starts slipping in class, he's assigned a tutor: Eva. Neither is thrilled. She thinks he's a loud, lazy distraction. He calls her "Teach" just to get under her skin-she responds by calling him "Skates," with just the right amount of disdain. What begins as bickering soon turns into banter... then something softer. The nicknames stick, becoming a quiet thread that ties them together as friends-and maybe more. Cole falls first. Hard. Eva, scared of being hurt and shaped by people who've left before, fights it. Still, she agrees to go to one of his games-just once. But seeing him on the ice, in his world, adored yet somehow still alone, shifts everything. Then the bet surfaces. A stupid, careless thing made before he really knew her-and it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Surrounded by puck bunnies stirring drama, teammates with their own loyalties, and a past Eva isn't ready to share, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Between jealousy, late-night confessions, and moments where one look says everything, Eva and Cole must decide: is love worth risking it all-even if it started with a bet, a nickname, and everything going wrong?
