The Pucking Wrong Guy

“Admit it,” He growls, slamming my back against the wall, his body caging me in. “You like it when I piss you off.” My breath catches as our bodies collide, heat and hatred sparking between us. I hate Dorian Hayes with every fibre of my being...so why can't I pull away? For Noah Carter, hockey isn’t just a game–it’s an escape. The golden boy captain with a killer smile and a secret he can’t afford to slip, Noah’s carefully crafted lie is falling apart with every practice and every time he locks eyes with HIM. HIM. Dorian Hayes is fire on the ice with only one mission--Make it to the NHL. But there’s one person he never expected to see when he got in Bridgewater to play for the Artic-Blades. Noah Fucking Carter. The one person he hates with everything inside him. Cue in a plan to destroy everything Noah stands for. But every time their bodies collide on the ice, Dorian can’t deny the pull. It’s infuriating, maddening…and addictive. He doesn’t want to want Noah, but when their rivalry shifts from Icy stares to scalding touches, Dorian is forced to confront a truth he’s spent years skating away from: sometimes, the person you hate the most is the only one who truly sees you.

Luca Devereaux has spent twelve seasons building the perfect image. He is the captain of the Chicago Phantoms, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, and the man every sponsor wants on their poster. He is calm under pressure, professional in every interview, and completely untouchable. The only person in the world who has ever made him feel like he might come apart is Ronan Calloway. Ronan is the captain of the Boston Bruins and the league's leading scorer for two straight seasons. He is quiet, intense, and impossible to read. He does not chase drama, he does not play games, But for three years, he has watched Luca with the kind of focus that goes beyond rivalry. He has counted Luca's habits, studied his tells, and waited for the perfect time.. When a brutal championship game collision ends with a nine-second fight broadcast to millions, the world sees the first crack in Luca's perfect armor. But that is nothing compared to what happens after the final whistle, when Ronan locks a locker room door and they are finally, truly alone. What begins as obsession slowly becomes something neither of them has words for. They meet in empty arenas and dark corridors. They push each other away and pull each other back. The hockey world is watching. Management is watching. And somewhere out there, someone is taking photographs. This is a story about two men who have spent years hiding behind control, competition, and composure. And about what happens when the one person who can see through all of it refuses to look away.

My hand wraps around his wrist, and I try to break free of his hold. It’s no use, so I just dig my fingers into the tendons there and glare at him. “What the hell’s your problem?” His forearm presses against my sternum as he crowds me more, ice-blue mismatched eyes full of unchecked rage. “You’re my fucking problem. Hockey’s little golden boy, coming out here with your good game tonight, acting like you own the sport.” He’s trying to get under my skin, but it won’t work. Unlike him, I don’t let my temper control me, and I definitely don’t toss hands at the drop of a hat whenever I can’t rein in my feelings. Which is why he doesn’t get the reaction he was hoping for, and I snort out a laugh. “Seriously? It was a compliment. One I meant, so just take it and move the fuck on.” “Move the fuck on?”

"You're mine, Vane. On the ice, off the ice, and especially behind closed doors. No one else touches you." "And if they do, Captain?" Jaxson's hand slammed against the locker room wall, caging me in. His eyes were dark, feral, and burning with something that had nothing to do with hockey. "Then I'll destroy them. And then I'll remind you exactly who you belong to." He was the ruthless team captain. I was the rookie who got under his skin. It was supposed to be just stress relief. A dirty secret hidden behind locked doors and bruised lips. But when his rules turned into obsession, and his jealousy turned dangerous, I realized the most terrifying thing wasn't getting caught… It was that I wanted him to claim me in front of everyone. **🔥 Enemies to Lovers | Possessive Captain x Bratty Rookie | Secret Relationship | College Hockey | M/M 🔥**

He was supposed to be a one-night mistake. Liam Carter is the captain of the hockey team. Untouchable. Arrogant. The kind of guy who never loses…on or off the ice. I was just the girl who got cheated on by her boyfriend and her best friend. One reckless night changed everything. Now a photo of us is circulating, and the rumors are threatening his career and my sanity. So he makes me a deal: fake date me until the season ends, and I'll make sure your ex regrets ever leaving you. I said yes. Big mistake. Because every fake date feels real. Every stolen kiss leaves me breathless. And every time he looks at me like I'm the only girl on the ice, I forget this was supposed to be a game. But when my ex comes crawling back, begging for a second chance, and Liam's dark secrets start clawing their way to the surface, I realize the biggest danger isn't falling for the captain. It's finding out he might have been playing me all along.

I've been hopelessly in love with the same guy for years. The problem? He barely knows I exist. So when Ryder King—the arrogant, infuriatingly gorgeous captain of the hockey team—offers to help me win my crush, I make a deal with the last person I should ever trust. He'll teach me how to flirt, steal attention, and finally make the man I've always wanted notice me. In return, I'll help him pass the art class that's threatening his place on the hockey team. It should have been simple. Instead, late-night study sessions turn into stolen glances. Fake flirting becomes dangerously real. Every teasing smile, every lingering touch, every jealous look pulls me closer to the one man I was never supposed to fall for. Now my heart is caught between the boy I've loved for years... and the hockey captain who's slowly making me forget why I wanted anyone else. But when the lines between pretending and reality disappear, someone is bound to get hurt. And by the time I realize I've fallen for the wrong player, Ryder is already walking away... and I might be too late to make him stay.
