Chelsy Holmes has been neighbors with Nathan Sharles since they were both toddlers, and she’s hated his guts the entire time. Unfortunately, since he’s best friends with her brother, Max, Chelsy is stuck seeing him almost every day. But as annoying as he is, Chelsy can’t help but admit that he’s pretty cute. When she finally scores a date with the guy she’s been crushing on forever, she grudgingly asks Nathan for some advice. But now that she’s dating Brad, why can’t she get Nathan’s blue eyes out of her mind?

Beneath the Blue Ice

by Donna Richards

Natasha thought she left her old crush behind when she moved away, but fate drags her back to Boston—and right into the same apartment as her best friend’s cocky hockey-playing brother. Layson has always been off-limits, but the way he looks at her now makes rules feel like nothing but fragile glass. He’s the star everyone wants, with a smirk that can melt ice, but with Natasha, something shifts—something deeper, something dangerous. She’s the quiet girl with sapphire eyes and a guarded heart, yet she makes him feel like he’s losing control. With desire sparking and boundaries blurring, can they resist what’s building between them, or will their story rewrite itself under the stars?

Practice, Not Perfect

Practice, Not Perfect

by Jane Anne

Kate’s got two weeks to fake being a hockey superfan—and she’s already skating on thin ice. When her harmless crush on star player Grady spirals into a big, fat lie, she turns to his rival, the grumpy and irresistible Carver Reed, for help. Their deal? Pretend to date and save his rep while she learns the rules of the game. Easy… right? But between late-night practices, sharp banter, and one too many “accidental” touches, the line between fake and real starts to blur fast. With secrets, sparks, and power plays flying, Kate’s about to learn that the hardest part of hockey isn’t the ice—it’s keeping her heart from slipping.

by Michelle Torlot

Alpha Thomas Shadowborne hasn’t stepped into the spotlight since losing his mate—until his pack acquires the Ridgewood Howlers, a scandal-prone hockey team made up of mixed shifters. He’s only supposed to show up for one game. He doesn’t even like hockey. But when a star player knocks Raven Stormwood to the ground, Thomas can’t look away. Raven’s a hybrid—half human, half wolf—and no one has ever claimed her as worth fighting for. Not her father. Not her mate. But Alpha Shadowborne sees something no one else does. And his wolf is done staying silent. Things are about to get complicated... and delicious.

The Hockey Player

The Hockey Player

by Galatea Original

“I want you right now,” he whispered into my ear before carrying me through the stands and toward the locker room.

He pressed me up against the locker, the cold metal against my back.

As we kissed, I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair, tugging on his curls. He pulled away for a moment and smiled deviously before pulling me in even more aggressively.

He bit my lip, gently tugging at it, before slipping his tongue into my mouth.

I found myself wondering what his tongue would feel like on other parts of my body.

As he lowered himself in front of me, I realized that I would soon find out.

Bia and Tanner are polar opposites; he is the sexy hockey team captain used to getting what he wants, and she is the ice skater who refuses to give it to him. And yet, when their bodies collide, sparks fly. What happens when they find themselves alone on the ice? Will Bia give in to Tanner’s charms?
