Upendo Mwangi was supposed to be unstoppable, but one night almost shattered everything and she pushed away the only person who ever made her feel safe: Orion Achilleos. Now, she's tired of letting life happen to her and ready to flip the script and face her trauma head-on. 

Even if that means no longer ignoring Orion.

Orion's hiding on the ice, hoping to numb out the pain the past year has left him in. That plan works until Upendo's smile becomes the only thing keeping him grounded. But the deeper his scars cut, the harder it is to believe he deserves her, especially when someone else is willing to take his place.

Second chances are not easy and they both have to fight their insecurities to accept that not every second chance is a terrible thing.All Rights Reserved

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.

Frozen Desire (POU Riders Book 1) by swiftiee97

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.

But then Luca Bennett crashed into my life-loud, stubborn, and determined to make me believe in things I'd stopped believing in a long time ago. Just when I started letting him in, the past came roaring back. One phone call. One hospital visit. One goodbye I never thought I'd have to say. Grief makes you do stupid things-like pushing away the one person who's been holding you together. Now I've got two choices: let him walk away for good... or run through the rain and fight like hell to keep him.
