Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises.

Dean Di Laurentis has no interest in complicated. The Briar hockey star is used to keeping things light-good friends, good parties, and never taking life too seriously. But when he finds himself spending more and more afternoons in a dance studio he has absolutely no reason to be in, one sharp-tongued ballerina starts becoming impossible to ignore. What begins as sarcastic arguments and reluctant friendship slowly turns into something neither of them saw coming. As Hazel prepares for the biggest audition of her life, old wounds begin resurfacing, forcing her to confront grief, expectations, and the fear that she will never be enough.

Set against the backdrop of Briar University, late-night practices, hockey parties, lakeside afternoons, and the delicate beauty of Swan Lake, White Feathers and Hockey Sticks is a slow-burn college romance about learning to let people in, finding strength in vulnerability, and discovering that sometimes the people worth keeping are the ones who stay. Because perfection was never the answer. But maybe love is.
