Hockeyromance Stories

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. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

**BASED OFF OF RACHEL READ ROLE MODEL BOOK, STARRING LUCA HAAS THE ROOKIE FROM OTTAWA** Sometimes the quietest feelings are the ones that change everything. Luca Haas has always existed on the edges-observant, careful, content to admire life from a distance. A rookie far from home, he's learning a new city, a new team, and a version of himself that's only just beginning to take shape. Attraction, for him, has never been loud or urgent. It's been something he notices, something he carries quietly, something he's never felt ready to touch. Theo has built a life on charm and momentum. Easy smiles, quick exits, no attachments. He knows how to be wanted without being known-and he's good at keeping it that way. Staying has never been part of the plan. When their paths begin to orbit each other, what starts as subtle attention turns into something neither of them is prepared for. Luca learns what it means to want without hiding. Theo is forced to confront what happens when distance stops being protection and starts becoming damage. This is a story about presence. About choosing risk over retreat. About learning that love doesn't have to be loud to be real-and that sometimes staying is the bravest thing you can do. A slow-burn romance about firsts, fear, quiet courage, and the space between noticing and being chosen.

I thought a "no-strings" deal with an arrogant athlete would be my safety net. I didn't realize I was just handing him the rope. 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐦: I'm the best on the ice and I know it. I don't do "complicated." When Nora asked for a way to pass the time, I took it, thinking it would be the easiest win of my life. But we both know the truth every time we match on that app. I don't just want her in my bed; I want her everywhere. ✮ Seeking an escape from the pressure, Nora turns to a new anonymous dating app. She's looking for a soul, not a face. And she finds one. The algorithm is relentless. One match leads to a blind date and a shock. Then it happens again. And again. No matter how hard they try to pull away in the real world, the app keeps dragging them back together. They were supposed to stay anonymous.
