Vanessa Williams has three ironclad rules: hate hockey, avoid hockey players, and never, ever get hurt by one again. Her father was the first to break that last rule, and Danny Glover—the campus hockey god with a smile that once wrecked her—was the second. Three years ago, she ran. Now, her graduate degree depends on studying the very sport she despises, and her advisor just assigned her to work with him.

Danny Glover has spent three years regretting the night he lost Vanessa. When she walks back into his life, all sharp edges and guarded green eyes, he sees a second chance. To protect her from his teammates’ relentless gossip and unwanted advances, he proposes a solution that’s as brilliant as it is dangerous: fake date. Publicly, they’ll be the picture-perfect couple. Privately, it’s just business.

The rules are simple: no feelings, no sex, just performative affection when people are watching. But every whispered study session, every pretend date that feels too real, and every old memory that sparks to life makes those boundaries blur. As their carefully staged romance starts to feel alarmingly genuine, they must confront past betrayals, a scandal that could ruin everything, and the terrifying possibility that the greatest risk isn’t getting caught in the lie…

It’s falling in love—for real this time.

"Do you have to force yourself on a woman to exercise your dominance?"

"Who are you?"

But Wren knew who had just spoken. It was the one person she dreaded seeing, but right now, she was jumping with joy at his appearance.

Although Luke was off Wren, she still laid frozen on the ground. She knew he was in town, she knew that despite her efforts to avoid him, she would end up bumping into him. Craigsburg was, after all, a small town.
But she never thought it will be so fast. She never thought he will be standing before her, matter of fact, she never thought she would find herself in this situation.

"Get up, Wren." his calm and collected voice sent shivers down her spine. She was thankful for the dark because then he wouldn't be able to see the shocked look on her face.

******** Wren Austin is a twenty-four-year-old working as a call girl in the most famous spot in Craigsburg. Her life takes a turn at the age of eighteen when she has to take care of her sick mom. However, she didn't expect she would meet that man again. Giovanni, a person who made her feel scared and excited, would he save her?

Chandler Su who had cheated by her boyfriend then got drunk at a bar. To take revenge, she grabbed a man randomly and took him to the room. After a crazy night, Chandler found the strange man was a super handsome guy the next morning. Shy and shocked chandler run away after leaving 150 RMB and scorning the man of his poor bed skills.
However, she never thought the story would become so dramatic as the next day, she found out that the new coming president of her company was exactly the man she slept the last night! Worse than that, this new boss seemed very narrow-minded as he asked Chandler to come to his office on the first day.

In a world where swipe-left culture reigns, a disillusioned young woman, jaded by the superficial connections of her generation, has lost faith in the idea of true love. Convinced that genuine relationships are unattainable, she adopts a carefree attitude, seeking fleeting encounters and casual connections instead of investing in meaningful relationships.

However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a profound connection with someone. Despite her initial reservations, she finds herself drawn to this person, and as they spend more time together, she begins to challenge her assumptions about love and relationships.

As she navigates this newfound connection, she must confront her own fears and vulnerabilities. Ultimately, she decides to take a chance on love, embracing the possibility of true connection and intimacy.

After surviving three years of kidnapping, I finally escaped—only to find my boyfriend engaged to my younger sister.

My parents' reaction? "They are in love. As the older sister, you should step aside."
My ex's excuse? "Cordelia, you're the one I truly love."

"Go to hell," I sneered. I dumped him and walked away from the toxic Fox family forever.
Furious, he shouted behind me, "You'll regret this! Don't come crawling back!"

Oh, I didn't.

But when he finally came crawling back to me, he was in for a rude awakening. He didn't find me crying. Instead, he found me pinned against a wall, sharing a breathless, heated kiss with the most powerful, untouchable man in the city—his almighty uncle.

Seeing us, my ex lost his mind. "Cordelia! You said you loved me!" he roared in absolute jealousy.

With a wicked smile, I leaned against his uncle's chest and hooked my finger at my pathetic ex.

"Be a good boy," I smirked. "Call me Auntie."

“Look, baby,” he murmured, hands gripping my hips under the blanket. “The sun is coming up. Watch the sunrise while I fuck you.”

He fucked me deep while his hand slid up into my hair, gripping firmly and pulling my head back so he could kiss my throat.

The back door suddenly slid open.

Max stepped out carrying a cup of coffee, freezing the moment he saw us tangled together under the blanket.

“So you guys decided to watch the sunrise too?” he asked casually.

Daniel went completely still behind me. “Uh… yeah. Hey man, can you give us just a minute?”

Max’s eyes widened in realization. “Ohhhh shit.”

“Yeah, um, sorry,” he said quickly, backing toward the door. “My bad. Carry on with the… sunrise.”

Chloe Bennett thought moving into the Hockey House would be simple.

Finish graduate school. Spend time with her boyfriend. Survive living with a house full of elite college hockey players and their endless drama.

Then an anonymous podcast appears.

One episode is all it takes to send shockwaves across campus. Secrets begin surfacing. Relationships start cracking. Friendships are tested. And suddenly everyone is wondering who will be exposed next.

Daniel Kim hates drama, prefers loyalty over gossip, and wants nothing more than to enjoy his final year with the people he cares about. Chloe should want the same thing.

Instead, she finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery surrounding the podcast and the secrets hiding behind the Hockey House’s perfect image.

As scandals spread and tensions rise, relationships are tested in ways none of them expected. Because sometimes the truth brings people closer together.

And sometimes it destroys everything.

When the next secret drops, who will be left standing?

And when the truth finally comes out, will love be enough to survive it?

"You've been staring at me all night," I slurred, my voice thick with tequila and heartbreak. "Either it's creepy, or you like what you see."

"Look, handsome," I leaned in closer, the bar's dim lights blurring around us. "I've had a really shitty day. Want to make it better? I'll pay for your time—I've got plenty of money."

His eyes widened, but then he reached out, wrapping my hand in his warm, strong fingers—gentle in a way that felt strangely comforting.

"Olivia," he said, his deep voice hitting me like a forgotten memory. "Do you know who I am?"


I thought I had guys all figured out. Until a cheating bastard destroyed that confidence completely.

In a fit of vengeful rebellion, I picked up a stranger at a bar. Got drunk, got laid, got wild for one night.

The next morning, I was ready to make my graceful exit—until I saw the face on the pillow next to me.

Blake. My childhood frenemy who'd been MIA for years, the same asshole who always said I'd "never learn to read people."

Even worse? He had the audacity to come begging for dating advice on how to win over some girl.

"Who's the lucky target?" I asked, forcing myself to sound casual.

"Just a friend," he dodged.

My mind immediately went to Sophia—that girl who'd been circling him since middle school with her not-so-subtle hints. Of course he's still hung up on her.

So there I was, gritting my teeth while dispensing "female psychology" and "perfect pursuit strategies,"

when he suddenly took my hand and pressed it against his chest, "Don't you get it yet? Can't you figure out who I'm trying to pursue?"

Maybe every love story starts with a complete disaster—but what if this mess is exactly where our story was meant to begin?

“Compared to you, I’m too heavy,” she says softly.
I scoff, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her down onto my lap. Her breath hitches, and I lean in, my lips grazing her ear.
“I bench twice your weight at the gym,” I murmur, watching a shiver ripple through her body, her skin blooming with goosebumps under my touch. “Next time I tell you to sit, you’ll do it without hesitation. And you’ll sit exactly where I want—on my fking cck.”

“You want me to kiss you?” I gaped, heat rushing to my cheeks.
“Yeah?” He arched his brow, like he didn’t understand why I was so shocked.
“Right here?” My gaze bounced around the crowded cafeteria, sinking deeper in my seat as everyone’s attention lingered on us. “But people are watching.”
Cole gave me a blank look, then his lips curved into that teasing, infuriating smirk of his. “Good.”
Before I could say anything else, he pressed his lips against mine, his fingers threading into my hair.
And at that moment, everyone faded into the background, till I was painfully aware of his tongue thrusting into my mouth.

My new neighbor is a jerk. A grumpy, arrogant bastard with the kind of looks that melt panties from ten feet away. At first, I was dazzled by him—tall, broad-shouldered, stupidly hot. Then he opened his mouth, and I realized I hated him. He's smug, rude, and way too good at getting under my skin.
I wanted him gone—until the night he saved me from getting abducted.
Now the photos are everywhere, and the internet thinks we're dating.
"To spice up Rhett's image and shift the negativity," his agent says, "you both need to run with the story. The world needs to keep believing you're dating—for a while."
I lean back on the couch. "What's in it for me?"
Rhett scowls. "I'm not going to let you paint me naked."
I roll my eyes. "Who says I'm even interested in doing that?"
I smile. "Rhett's going to accompany me to my cousin's wedding."
Fake dating with my infuriating, too-hot neighbor? Great.
Except Rhett Lawson isn't just an NHL hockey star—he's a powerful Alpha hiding his real identity. His parents were murdered when he was a boy, leaving him and his pack cursed.

She thinks it’s a reckless moment.
He knows it’s fate.

Warm lights, cold ice, one irresistible Alpha.
This Christmas, her heart doesn’t stand a chance.

I was ruined overnight… so I made a deal with the one man no one expected.

I trusted my best friend and that was my first mistake.

I had it all, until Sarah Dean drugged me, framed me, and destroyed my reputation overnight. Then the whole school thought I was a liar and a cheat. Even my boyfriend walked away.

Then Justin Chamberlain walked in. The gorgeous young hockey coach made me an offer: pretend to be his girlfriend, and everyone would start believing me again.

It was just a performance. A way to get revenge.

Until the lines blurred, until the fake feelings became real and until I realized that the person I was pretending to love might be the only one who ever saw me clearly.

Fake relationship. Real revenge. And a love story I never saw coming.

Moving into my dad’s new house was supposed to be a fresh start.
Instead, it became my worst temptation.

Because my stepsister’s boyfriend is impossible to ignore.
The university’s hockey golden boy. Broad shoulders. Cold eyes. A smile that promises trouble.

He hates me at first.
Or maybe he wants me.
Sometimes it feels like both.

We argue. We clash. We pretend the tension is nothing.
But late nights make secrets dangerous.
Stolen glances turn into moments that burn too hot to deny.

He belongs to her.
My stepsister trusts me.
And crossing that line would destroy everything.

Yet every time he looks at me like I am the one he wants, I forget what is right.
I forget who I am supposed to be loyal to.
I forget that some desires come with consequences that can never be undone.

Because falling for my stepsister’s boyfriend is not just forbidden.
It is a betrayal that could cost us all everything.

And what started as a deal might just turn into something neither of them is ready for.
She wanted revenge.
He offered a game.
But falling for a hockey god? That was never part of the plan.

I stood there frozen while my worst enemy wrapped his arm around me and told the entire room I was his girlfriend.
Lila Bennett has been secretly in love with her stepbrother Mason for years. No one knew. Except Knox Ryder, the arrogant hockey bad boy who has made her life miserable since high school.

Then Mason brings home his new girlfriend. Sienna, the same girl who tormented Lila throughout high school. When Sienna finds Lila’s private, very explicit story clearly written about Mason, she is ready to ruin her forever.
In one heartbeat, Knox steps in. He pulls Lila close, kisses her cheek, and declares they are together. Now they are fake dating to protect her humiliating secret.

The more time Lila spends with the cold, tattooed hockey star she used to hate, the more she sees the warm, fiercely protective heart underneath. He might be the only person who truly sees her. And the only one who can heal the heart she thought was ruined.

But when the lines between fake and real start to blur, Lila must decide if she is brave enough to risk everything for the boy she never saw coming.

One kiss. That’s all it takes to ruin everything.

After catching her boyfriend cheating, Bree Whitmore makes a reckless decision. She kisses Adrien Campbell, the Falcons’ ruthless hockey captain, in front of everyone.

To protect his reputation and stay on the team, Adrien needs a girlfriend. To survive school and her own reality, Bree needs money.

Fake relationship, no feelings, no complications.

Except Adrien isn’t just arrogant—he’s intense, controlling, and impossible to ignore. And Bree isn’t as invisible as everyone thought.

Nothing about Adrien is fake. Not the way he looks at her. Not the way he protects her. And definitely not the danger that comes with him.

As jealousy turns into obsession and enemies close in, their fake relationship becomes the least of their problems.
Because in a game this dangerous… someone is bound to get hurt.

What happens when the king of the school needs the one girl he once broke?

Elowen Bennett’s life has always been simple, quiet days, a small circle, and staying invisible enough to survive high school unnoticed. After a brutal betrayal by her boyfriend and her best friend, she’s done trusting people.

Especially him.

Alaric Hayes, the hockey captain, golden boy, and the same person who made her middle school years unbearable.

So when he suddenly wants her close… too close, it doesn’t make sense.

But Alaric isn’t doing this for fun.

Under his father’s orders, he needs something from Elowen, something tied to a dangerous past and a secret that could destroy both her and her mother. Getting close to her is just part of the plan.

Pretend to care. Gain her trust. Get the information.

Simple.

Until it’s not.

Because the more time he spends with her, the harder it becomes to remember this was never supposed to be real.

And when the truth finally comes out…

Elowen won’t just lose her heart.

She might lose everything.

All Blair Manson wanted was a fresh start and the freedom to build a better future for herself and her struggling mother. Instead, her dream transfer to prestigious St. Louis Academy spirals into a nightmare when she crosses paths with Tristan Thompson — the untouchable hockey prince whose ego she publicly bruises on her very first day.

Now trapped by the academy’s most feared and revered bad boy, Blair must fight to reclaim her freedom. But Tristan has other plans. He needs her brilliant mind to help him win a high-stakes, dangerous bet tied to the legendary “1973 Vanguard” — the academy’s elite, cutthroat hockey team rumored to operate under secret rules that blur the line between sport and power games.

She’s hard to get. She hates him with every fiber of her being.
Yet the one person she tried desperately to avoid becomes the one who shatters her peace — and slowly begins to steal her heart.

He holds something precious over her head, something she cannot afford to lose. His condition? Thirty days living in his mansion as his personal live-in tutor.

In a world of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire, Blair will discover that the line between hate and obsession is thinner than she ever imagined — and that sometimes the bully who breaks you is the only one who can put you back together.

Three months ago, my life changed for the worst. I caught my boyfriend in bed with another woman and Instead of apologising, he told me I won't find another man better than him.

I took it personally and decided to make him choke on that.

So I made a deal with the one man guaranteed to prove him wrong~ His hockey captain, his idol, and the most dangerously confident man I've ever met.

Reid Williams.

The last man I should be making deals with.

He'll pretend to be mine to make my ex regret everything...

In return, I'll help him fix the reputation that's one bad headline away from destroying his entire career.

It's supposed to be simple, controlled, fake.

But Reid doesn't leave things halfway.

Nothing about the way he looks at me seems fake, nothing about the way his hand settles on my waist like it's a claim, nothing about the way his lips linger after a kiss.

And everytime I remember this is just a deal... He gives me a reason to forget.

At eighteen, Edyth Hart has only one goal: survive Briarwood University and stay invisible.

But being the only wolfless girl in a werewolf academy is hard enough without drawing attention to herself.

And he knows her secret.

When a scandal threatens Edyth's reputation, Asher makes her an offer she cannot refuse.

Fake date him.

Pretending to be his girlfriend should be simple.

A few smiles.

A few staged dates.

A few lies.

Except Edyth is hiding one more dangerous secret.

Asher Blackwood is her mate.

And if he ever discovers the truth, the life she carefully built will shatter. The problem?

Asher isn't the charming prince everyone believes him to be.

Behind the fame and perfect smile is a possessive Alpha with a dangerous obsession.

One who has already started watching her.

Questioning her.

Getting suspicious.

And the longer they pretend to be together, the harder it becomes for Edyth to escape the one future she never wanted.

A future with him.

When I rushed to the party, sweaty and out of breath, I saw Alex sitting in the center, surrounded by hot, blonde girls in sexy skirts.

"Elodie, why do you think the great Alex would choose a nerd like you to be his girlfriend?" someone hissed at me. "It’s because he lost a bet."

I was a "nobody" on campus, madly in love with the ice hockey captain, Alex. I would run over ten kilometers in the freezing winter at 3 AM to buy him the donuts he wanted. When he lost a bet on a game, I would wear ridiculous clothes and sing loudly in the library. He even made me jump into a frozen lake in a snowy winter to find a bracelet dropped by the cheerleading captain, and I agreed.

I became the joke of the campus, but I didn’t care. As long as he accepted me, I was willing to do anything. But later I found out that the reason Alex accepted my pursuit was entirely because he lost a bet with friends and had to date me for a year.

And today is the last day of that bet...
