What happens when the one person you can't have... becomes the one you can't resist? --- I've lived my entire life under the spotlight. First, as the daughter and sister of hockey legends Joseph and T.J. Murphy. Then, as the youngest American in history to win Olympic gold in figure skating. Since forever, my world has been early mornings at the rink, medals, and a future I never thought I'd have to question. Until one fall at last year's World Championship ended my career... and destroyed every plan I had laid out in front of me. I came to Henley for a fresh start. I was going to be just Ollie. Your run-of-the-mill college student trying to figure things out. It was a solid plan... until Josh Jackson came skating into my life at full speed. Josh is quiet, intense, and impossible to figure out. The kind of guy who keeps everyone at arm's length, yet somehow still makes you want to get closer. Unfortunately for me, he's also my TA, chem tutor, and the one person I keep ending up skating with when the rink is empty every morning. Josh doesn't care about my last name. He doesn't treat me like I'm broken. And when he looks at me, I almost forget the girl I lost. The problem? This isn't allowed. If anyone finds out, Josh could lose everything. And no matter how badly I want him... I can't be the reason that happens. - A forbidden, grumpy x sunshine, slow-burn hockey romance - ****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels. Playing Offside is the third book in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!*****

What happens when the guy you can't stand becomes the solution to all your problems? --- Xavier Cole is a man-whore. A womanizer. A complete player. And on most days? A walking red flag. Unfortunately for me, he's also charming, reckless, and very publicly unattached. The kind of guy no one would ever question suddenly having a girlfriend... and the last person anyone would expect to be faking it. Which makes him the perfect solution when my ex shows back up in town, convinced he deserves a second chance. I didn't mean to kiss Xavier at the annual hockey team New Year's Eve party. I really didn't! But it happened. And now everyone thinks we're dating. That he's my boyfriend. Which might be my fault too... because I may have told people we were together. And he might be going along with it. The problem? Xavier Cole and I don't flirt... we spar. And apparently, we're supposed to be convincing as a couple. Which means we're going to have to make this work. Because if our cover gets blown, I'm screwed. - A fake dating, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance at Henley University - ****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels.
