Autumn Ferris

Tori thinks one wild night with a handsome stranger is nothing more than a fun memory… until she joins her new hockey team and realizes her mystery man is Adam, their biggest rival and her captain’s best friend. Now the spark they shared is impossible to forget, especially when an injury leaves her stuck recovering at his place. Tension grows, secrets slip, and every look hits harder than a slapshot. As the ice between them melts, Tori must decide what matters more: protecting her secret, or facing the truth rushing straight at her heart.

Slowly, her careful plans begin to crack as she gets pulled into a world of late nights, loyal friendships, and feelings she never signed up for. The more she resists, the closer he gets. Can she really stay invisible when someone sees her so clearly?

Returning home was never part of Anahí’s plan. But with her father gone and her mother struggling, she has no choice but to step back into a life she tried to escape. Raising her brothers and barely keeping them afloat. The last person she expects to see is Koen, the high school golden boy, now a retired NHL star and single father.

Calyp50

Holden lives for hockey. A gifted goalie chasing the highest level, he keeps his world disciplined—until his focus starts sliding toward one person he can’t afford to want: Carlee. She’s bright, fearless, and absolutely off-limits… because she’s his best friend’s sister. The more time they steal, the harder it becomes to pretend it’s nothing. One wrong move could destroy the friendship he trusts most, but walking away from Carlee feels just as impossible. Between locker-room pressure, big ambitions, and a connection that won’t stay hidden, Holden must decide what he’s willing to risk for one feeling he can’t bench.

Michael is her sister’s boyfriend, and wanting him fractures a bond Bexley never meant to break. Jeremiah Redd, Michael’s best friend and the team’s strongest defenseman, arrives from Tennessee chasing his own hockey dreams and a place on the national stage. He’s also been in love with Bexley far longer than she realizes. Caught between loyalty, ambition, and buried feelings, Jeremiah knows one truth she doesn’t yet see: she’s skating toward the wrong man—and the right one has been beside her all along.

The Trent Declan Challenge

Collette G. May

Eliza is a bestselling romance author with a secret: she’s written fantasies she’s barely lived. On tour in Dallas, she meets Trent—an infamous, too-charming hockey star—who offers her a private, no-strings month on his terms… and hers.

Double Take

Double Take

Taz Zobell

Lucas has carefully built his image as the rebel, the one no one expects much from, and he plans to keep it that way. When his twin brother agrees to tutor Rina, Lucas ends up stepping in, pretending to be someone he is not. It should be simple, just a favor and a secret kept. But Rina is not like anyone he has met before. She sees past the attitude, past the walls, and straight into the parts he keeps hidden. As their connection grows through late nights and quiet moments, Lucas finds himself caught between the truth and the role he is playing. Because the more he pretends, the harder it becomes to ignore what is real—and what could change everything.

On Thin Ice

On Thin Ice

Signe Larsen

Maya dreams of gliding across the ice as a figure skater, but life keeps her grounded, balancing work at the local rink and the weight of limited means. The ice is her escape, the one place where her future feels within reach. Then Jaxon returns, a hometown hockey star with charm, confidence, and a past tied too closely to hers. Once her best friend and her first heartbreak, he stirs up feelings she thought she had long buried. Now they share the same rink, the same memories, and a tension that feels anything but simple. As ambitions grow and old sparks flicker, Maya finds herself navigating more than just routines on ice—she is learning how to face what still lingers beneath the surface.

Between the Whistle and the Quiet

Between the Whistle and the Quiet

Sophie Lee

Madison Hales has always believed the world is mostly good—sunshine in human form, even when it gets her into trouble. So when her brother Jaxon asks her for a massive favour, she says yes without thinking.

Be a full-time nanny for his teammate’s son.

No problem… right?

Except the teammate in question is Luca Moretti—the brooding New York Reapers center who was once Madi’s favourite player long before Jaxon went pro. The same Luca Moretti who, in person, is colder than the rink he dominates. Their first meeting ends in disaster, and Madi swears she’ll keep her distance.

But seven-year-old Hamish has other plans.

As Madi settles into her new role, Luca’s walls begin to crack. Behind the intense stare and quiet intimidation is a man fiercely devoted to his son… and unexpectedly protective of the girl who keeps bringing light into their shadows.

She wasn’t supposed to fall for him. He wasn’t supposed to notice her. And letting her in might be the biggest risk Luca’s ever taken.

Instead, she collides with Wesley—her ex, her first love, the heartbreak she never healed. Now a firefighter marked by heat and scars, he’s impossible to ignore.
