Some love stories begin with sparks.
The best ones are forged in survival.

Lena never wanted to be seen. Quiet, studious, and guarded, she keeps her head down and her heart protected-until an unexpected run-in with Ethan Cole, the star of her college hockey team, turns her carefully ordered world upside down. He's everything she isn't supposed to want: confident, magnetic, and far too easy to fall for.

What starts as forced proximity and sharp banter slowly becomes friendship... then something deeper. Something real. But when love blooms fast and fierce, the universe pushes back.

An unplanned pregnancy.
A devastating loss.
Grief that threatens to pull them apart.

As Lena and Ethan navigate heartbreak, guilt, and fear, they learn that love isn't just passion-it's choosing each other when everything hurts. It's staying when there's nothing left to fix. And it's finding the courage to hope again after loss.

Set against the intensity of college hockey and the quiet moments in between, Still Here is a deeply emotional, slow-burn romance about healing, resilience, and a bond that refuses to break-even when the world tries to tear it apart.

Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren't about how it starts...
They're about how it endures. 🤍Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

It Doesn't Matter, You Still Left oleh NiallsPrincess326

I looked down at my stomach. A small bump was beginning to form, only if he knew. "Please don't go." I pleaded "I've wanted to do this forever, don't you want me to be happy?" He said grabbing his packed bag I sat on the bed we share in my apartment. Well the bed we did share, until he left. "Please, Niall. I love you." I begged "I love you too, but we're still so young and I know I'll make it far." I shook my head wishing I could wake up and see that this was all a dream, a nightmare at that "Niall I..." I trailed off, I was proud of Niall, I supported this, I supported it until I found out I was carrying our kid. 16 and pregnant, he'd leave me anyways, what would be the point in telling him? "Have some faith in me." He dropped his bag by the bedroom door and walked over to me, giving me the slightest bit of hope, he grabbed my face and kissed me "Bye, I hope I'll see you again." and he returned to his bag...leaving me.

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.

Against the Odds oleh Irena9894

Jaxon Reid had everything-fame, fortune, and a career as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. But when a devastating injury threatens to end his season-and possibly his career-his entire world comes crashing down. Stubborn and unwilling to accept his fate, Jaxon fights against the medical staff, determined to prove he's not done. Enter Dr. Lillian Carter-fiercely intelligent, unshakably professional, and completely unimpressed by Jaxon's arrogance. As the team's lead physician, it's her job to get him back on his feet, but his resistance and relentless charm make it anything but easy. She sees through his bravado to the man beneath-the one who's terrified of losing the only life he's ever known. What starts as a battle of wills slowly turns into something neither of them saw coming. As Jaxon fights to reclaim his place on the field, he realizes there's something else worth fighting for-Lillian. But with the media circling, team management warning her to keep her distance, and the weight of their own fears standing between them, their connection might not survive the pressure. When the final whistle blows, will Jaxon and Lillian's love be the ultimate victory, or will the game of life tear them apart? Perfect for fans of sports romance, slow-burn tension, and determined heroes who refuse to give up-on their dreams or on love.
