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.

Ignitable
Sophia is sat in a bar with only a large glass of wine for company, quietly nursing a broken heart. When a charismatic stranger approaches her, he's not only confidently funny, smart and intriguing... he's undeniably attractive. That night, for the first time in a very long while, Sophia feels womanly and wanted. This mysterious stranger not only makes her laugh, he ignites something within the very unwanted parts of herself. He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life. He is suave, sophisticated and wealthy, with emotional baggage almost as big as his oversized ego. When he meets the just dumped, Sophia Hale, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He is feeling something, and Cade Lapley just doesn't do feelings of any kind. Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should. Not only for Sophia's sake, but more selfishly for his. Only, he can't. One man. One woman. Together....
