BLADES & STICKS
When seventeen-year old Riley Quinn moves from sunny California to the frostbitten small town of Maplewood, Minnesota, she's ready for one thing : a quiet restart. After a humiliating year and one very public mental health crisis, she just wants to blend in, keep her head down and spend as much time as possible on the ice. Alone. But fate has other plans.

With a reputation for breaking hearts and noses in equal meaure, he's the last person Riley wants to deal with... Until she accidently outskates him at open rink night and becomes the new school obsession. Now Riley's fighting rumours, feelings, and a terrifyingly persistent Asher that keeps showing up outside her window.

And in a town where gossipp spreads faster than frostbite, keeping secrets might be the hardest trick of all. STARTED - 21.10.2025. FINISHED -
Drunk Goal (Larry Stylinson)
A full-on smirk returns to Harry's lips. "Now we're talking. Long story or short?" "Short." "I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for preferably six months." Well, that was a short story indeed. - Louis hates hockey. If there is one thing this man loves more than his bartending job, it would be Harry Styles. That is how he finds himself in Sheffield during the IIHF World Championship season, not listening to his best friend, Zayn, who keeps telling him that Harry Styles, one of the most famous hockey players ever, is not the man for him. But what if the night Harry walks into Louis's beer-stained bar leads to more than just a one-night stand? - Contains themes some readers might find difficult. Such as: - invasion of privacy (off-page), - mention of drugs, - alcohol consumption, - food-related struggles (binging, purging, starving oneself on purpose), - medical emergencies, - death references, - implied/referred sexual assault, - childhood trauma (remembered), - strong language, - smut...

Cruel King | 18+
[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel. New chapters every Wednesday and Sunday. *Big Fat Smooch* Good to see you again, my lovelies.
