THE ICE MATCH
Coming 12/1/24
If there’s one thing Dakota Darling hates— it’s men. There’s not a single man that she trusts, and she wholeheartedly believes their only purpose is to help reproduce. But if there’s one man she’d like to kill more than all the others, it’s Nicholas Crew. He encompasses everything that she hates: a big ego, a playboy personality, and a careless attitude.
Nicholas Crew loves women— besides Dakota Darling. She’s bratty and far too bold for his liking. As a committed NHL player and certified womanizer, Crew is used to girls falling at his feet, not getting angry at the sight of him.
So when a mishap with their apartment leases causes them to be forced to live together, along with their two best friends, a war is sure to break out. As they try to survive their new living arrangement, Crew’s only focus is to ensure the wicked witch doesn’t ruin every aspect of his life, whereas Kota’s main goal is to not end up in prison for murder.
With time, they realize that the only thing stronger than hatred may not be love after all— it might be lust. As the two draw closer, breaking the house-wide “no hooking up” rule may not be the only problem they have.
For a girl that doesn’t believe in vulnerability and a guy that doesn’t believe in commitment, these two might have met their match.
THE PUCK
ARRANGEMENT
Bridget Bell has spent the past four years at Cedar University trying to find out the truth about where she came from. She’s so close that she can taste it. Figuring it all out during her senior year is what she needs to make her past decisions worthwhile. What she doesn’t need is for the hot, overly sweet hockey captain and his crazy best friend to somehow end up in her and her best friend’s lives— closer than Bridget would like.
Lane Avery has been avoiding the NHL since he was eighteen, but the star hockey player is running out of time to make a choice. When he convinces his best friend to get a new apartment with him, the last thing he expects is for the leasing office to mess up their arrangement, giving them a four-bedroom instead of a two-bedroom. The worst part? He’s stuck living with the girl he accidentally spilled his beer all over the week prior.
With Bridget’s search for answers and Lane’s impending decision, neither one can afford to get distracted— or hurt. They both try to steer clear of the disaster waiting to happen, but will they be able to maintain a safe distance under the same roof?
After the passing of her parents and a messy breakup with her now ex-fiancé, twenty-year-old Kamryn Arliss finds herself living on the corner of a busy street in San Francisco. She’s hungry, terribly thirsty, and she’s running out of motivation, but when she finally gains the courage to meet the gaze of the handsome man who glances at her each day, things may just get a little easier.
Decker Shepley’s main goal is one thing and one thing only: redemption. On his trek to and from work every day, he can’t help but notice the pretty girl with dirt-ridden skin that’s been staying outside his apartment. Although he has no idea who she is or why she’s there, something strange pulls him towards her, and it’s not long before he takes her in. He knows he can’t change his past, but if loving her with all he has is what it takes to redeem himself, then that’s what he’ll do.
​
Their inevitable connection grows by the day, but Decker hasn’t told Kamryn the entirety of his past, and by the time they realize they may be more tied together than they originally thought, the damage has already been done. The most unlikely and unfortunate circumstances surround their relationship, and it’s impossible for anyone to come out unscathed. Determined to be happy but destined to be heartbroken, Kamryn is faced with a choice— the past or the future?
