"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

Radhika Sinha never expected a stranger's comment on Facebook to change her life. Trapped in a toxic relationship and quietly losing pieces of herself, Radhika finds comfort in the most unexpected place, a message from Aryan Malhotra, a boy she barely knows but somehow feels safe with. Aryan is preparing for a future far away, dreaming of moving to Toronto and starting over. Radhika is trying to survive a present that feels impossible to escape. What begins as a simple conversation slowly turns into late-night messages, unspoken emotions, and a connection neither of them knows how to name. He never asks for more than she can give. She never tells him everything, but somehow, he understands. Between different cities, broken hearts, dreams of leaving, and the fear of falling for someone at the wrong time, Radhika and Aryan discover that some people don't enter your life loudly. Sometimes, they arrive as a message. And sometimes, that one message changes everything. But with distance between them, wounds from the past, and a future neither of them can fully predict, will their connection be strong enough to survive what life has planned for them? Let's see how far one message can take them... A story of healing, distance, friendship, love, and the courage to choose yourself.

She's a stranger who saved his life. He's a singer adored by the entire world. They are brought together by a moment that was never meant to happen - and yet, it changes everything. What starts as chance soon grows into a connection that defies distance, fame, and even the rules of their worlds. A story of two souls who found each other in the most unexpected moment. But what if a love born in the quiet between the words can't survive the harsh reality of fame? Set in 2020 - in a world untouched by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kaiyang Wang - Kai - spent four years grinding toward a UofT acceptance letter, being the kind of student nobody notices and everybody relies on. Quiet. Careful. Good at math. Not so good at everything else. The summer before uni, he picks up a secondhand skateboard and decides, for once, to do something without watching the tutorial first. He's still watching the tutorial first. But then there's Cris - skatebum, sun-soaked, twenty years old and magnetic in a way Kai has no vocabulary for - and when their hands meet at the top of a baby ramp, something in Kai short-circuits in a way four years of straight A's didn't prepare him for at all. A coming-of-age romance set in the sticky heat of a Toronto summer. About first feelings. About the gap between who you've been and who you're about to become. --- tags: #skateboarding #bl #lgbt #eastasian #gen1.5 #toronto #comingofage #selfdiscovery #purelove #summerromance

Camilla and Aubrey have survived betrayal, prison, and the kind of heartbreak that should've ended them - but love always gave them a way back. Until now. When the past resurfaces in the form of familiar faces with hidden motives, cracks begin to show. A new man steps in. An old flame won't back off. And just when trust starts to feel solid again, lies, jealousy, and calculated revenge threaten to unravel everything - including their family. With loyalty divided and temptation creeping in from all angles, the real question isn't whether Camilla and Aubrey still love each other - it's whether love alone is strong enough to survive what's coming. Because sometimes, the biggest threat... is the one who already knows where you sleep.

Grady Porcher es bueno. Si lo comparas con otros centros de la liga, probablemente entraría en el top diez en una que otra temporada. Su gran defecto es que tiene demasiada afinidad con los problemas. Por esa razón, pasó de ser drafteado de un gran equipo de Nueva York, a jugar para Vancouver y que este equipo hiciera todo lo posible por querer deshacerse de él. Así es como tienes a un jugador de casi veinticinco años, intentando reivindicarse con el hockey en una de las cunas del deporte: Toronto. ¿Cómo llegó el chico a ese equipo? Quizá es un misterio mal encubierto, porque su padre, Matthew Porcher, es un hombre influyente en la liga de hockey. Por otro lado, Celine Lancaster es hija de la presidenta de comunicaciones de los Toronto Monarchs. O, mejor dicho, la mujer que prácticamente convirtió a los Monarchs en la franquicia más marketeable de toda la liga en los últimos siete años. Celine creció rodeada de ejecutivos, patrocinadores y jugadores estrella. Sabe cómo funciona el hockey profesional, incluso si jamás se subió a unos patines. Elegante, inteligente y demasiado consciente de cómo la prensa puede destruir a alguien en cuestión de horas, ella evita a toda costa a hombres como Grady Porcher. El problema es que Toronto decidió apostar por él. Y ahora Celine tiene que trabajar con el jugador más problemático que ha pasado por la organización en años.

Alison lost her best friend when he left for North Carolina to attend Duke University. Now he's pursuing his dream and playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. She meets lots of new people on her journey to the big city up north but she is never prepared for what's in store.

When Alex Matthews' best friend Lydia Richards attends a hockey game with the Matthews family, let's just say things get a little interesting.

Grady Porcher is good. Compare him to other centers in the league, and he'd probably crack the top ten in any given season. His biggest flaw? He has a real knack for finding trouble. That's how he went from being drafted by a big New York team to playing for Vancouver-and how that same team did everything they could to dump him. So now you've got a guy pushing twenty-five, trying to redeem himself in one of the sport's holy grails: Toronto. How exactly did he land there? It's not exactly a well-kept secret. His dad, Matthew Porcher, has serious pull in the league. Then there's Celine Lancaster. She's the daughter of the Toronto Monarchs' head of communications-or, more accurately, the woman who single-handedly turned the Monarchs into the most marketable franchise in the league over the last seven years. Celine grew up surrounded by executives, sponsors, and star players. She knows how pro hockey works, even if she's never laced up a pair of skates. Elegant, smart, and painfully aware of how fast the press can tear someone apart, she steers clear of guys like Grady Porcher at all costs. The problem? Toronto decided to take a chance on him. And now Celine has to work with the most problematic player to come through the organization in years.

Until he reads the truth hidden inside her diary. A story about friendship, silence, jealousy, heartbreak, and the kind of love that arrives too late. Sometimes, the loudest feelings are hidden inside the quietest souls.
