Deke is an ice hockey term that originated in Canada. It originates from decoy referring to a bird or mammal, or a fake one, used by hunters to attract other birds or mammals. To deke in ice hockey means the technique of drawing an opposing player out of position or  when a player skates by an opponent while maintaining possession and control of the puck. 

A love deke is a term I've invented to describe when a person falls in love with the idea of someone they meet only to find out there's more to that person than they expect.

After a one-night stand flips a grumpy hockey goalie's bad luck, he pursues his team's new dental assistant to rebound his abysmal season. Trapped in a small town, my life has been planned, controlled, and boring. After my sister and I failed to keep our family's bakery afloat, I'm free to steer my life's ship...Except I don't know what I want and have no idea how to adult. A year of sleeping on my sister's boyfriend's couch and getting bitten by kids while cleaning their teeth is not living. When the anniversary of losing our bakery reminds me how far I haven't come since then, a wild, anonymous one-night stand is just the stress release I need. Putting him out of my mind is challenging, but my luck turns when I land a specialist dentist's assistant job. It's for a pro hockey team, where, unfortunately, my steamy one-night stand is their grumpy goalie, and the coach doesn't believe women can remain professional around his players. I don't have time for the giant manchild refusing to get his teeth cleaned or socialize with anyone, including his teammates. The team's solo win comes after our night together, convincing Connor I'm some lucky charm who can turn around his demoralizing slump. All I care about is getting settled on my own despite his sexist coach, but when he threatens to reveal our secret, I'm forced to prove superstitions are hocus-pocus nonsense. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy PREVIEW: full story is available on Radish: https://radishfiction.com/stories/31711

A brother and a sister. One is the captain of the hockey team in a small town while the other aspires to be the best figure skater out there. But what happens when they cross paths after a year of being apart, and everything has changed. One doesn't want to be seen by the other, rather wanting to leave the small town for bigger opportunities and the other has lost their aspirations to be the best figure skater, rather wanting to be on the ice hockey team. Everyone thought that nothing could come between the two of them, but maybe there is more to their story. Maybe they both have secrets they have been hiding for so long that they don't even know the truth. But what happens if it isn't all about how they have changed and grown apart and that someone else was involved? No one knows the truth, but maybe by adding the bad boy's, The Armani's, to the table will bring someone down, or someone else up. Just bring the grandchildren of a designer together and see what happens. See who breaks first. See who messes with the Lauren's first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know who you are anymore" "I trusted you. I trusted that you wouldn't do that to me but you did it anyways" "I'm not the good girl you left behind for your hockey team. People change, Aiden. I've changed and so have you" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW* some themes and words may be distressing for some* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 30.10.22 Finished: Rankings:

Book 2 of 3 Highly recommend you read book 1 first. Tanner 'T.J.' Levine has it all- looks, money, fame, and skill on the ice. His natural talent got him to where he is today- playing pro hockey for one of the best teams in the league, but since he was traded to New York, something has been off. Tanner is used to being drooled over by female fans. They always throw themselves at him, desperate to have one night with him. No feelings involved- just how he likes it. He's never once had to try to pick up a chick- they always come to him. Then, he meets her- Jenna Taylor- the vixen he can't get out of his head. He thinks all he needs to clear his mind is one night alone with Jenna- to cleanse himself of those obsessive thoughts. So, he decides to make it his mission to get her into bed, no matter what. His only problem- Jenna has a rule about dating the players. How far will he go to accomplish his goal? And what happens when his plan starts to backfire? ~ Jenna Taylor doesn't need a man. At least, that's what she tells herself. She has everything she needs in her life already- a great job, fantastic friends, and the confidence to stand on her own. Sure, having a man would be nice, but after her long-time boyfriend broke her heart, she's decided to put love on ice. She's well known by New York's professional hockey team- but they know that dating her is not possible. It's one of her rules- don't date the players. She's never had an issue following her most important rule; but when her new client arrives in town, he starts to make things difficult. He's relentless in his pursuit of her, and she finds her once-solid reserve starting to crumble. She wants to keep her work and love life separate, but there's something about Tanner that keeps drawing her in. Will she give in to the sexy newcomer? And what happens when her ex threatens to derail everything?

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets. The only place he can be spotted is the gym or the rink, with punching bags or hockey sticks. However, Alex is done playing by the book, he's done denying himself what he wants, what he needs. It's been four whole years, would she give him a chance to explain? Would she want to be a part of his dangerous world? Would she fall in love with him all over again? After all, she was the first person he opened up to, the first woman to see him for him; and for the first time in his entire life, he was scared of something that wasn't his life or duties to his family. It was a different kind of love, a love that burned mansions and cities, a Love that sparked with intimacy so much greater than sex. Four years isn't long enough to forget, is it?
