Pucking Contempt: a Sports Romance Series

HE’S THE UNBREAKABLE WALL. I’M THE SLEDGEHAMMER COVERED IN GLITTER. AND WE’RE SNOWED IN TOGETHER.

Beckett North.
The St. Clair Sentinels’ star goalie. The “Ice King.” My brother’s best friend.
He has three rules: Don’t touch his gear. Don’t break his silence. And don’t distract him from the NHL scouts watching his every move.
To him, I’m just “Tink”—a chaotic, neon-wearing nuisance who talks too much and feels too deeply.
He thinks he’s safe behind his mask. But I know the truth. I’ve seen the scars he hides under his jersey. I know that his silence isn’t peace—it’s a fortress.

Halle Jacobs.
I’m homeless, stressed, and failing Microeconomics.
When my apartment floods, I have no choice but to crash at the Hockey House.
The plan was simple: Hide in my brother’s room, finish my fashion collection, and stay invisible.
But a blizzard has other plans. Now I’m trapped with Beckett. And the guy who supposedly hates me is suddenly offering to tutor me at 5:00 AM.

The Problem?
We made a deal. I follow his rigid routine, and he ensures I pass my mid-term.
But there’s nothing routine about the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching.
There’s nothing safe about the late-night study sessions that turn into whispered confessions in the dark.
We’re playing a dangerous game. My brother made it clear: Beckett is off-limits.
But when the Wall finally crumbles?
It’s not going to be quiet. It’s going to be a catastrophe.

HE’S THE NHL’S MOST PROMISING GOALIE. I’M THE ONLY WOMAN WHO CAN RUIN HIM. AND HE JUST ASKED ME TO LOCK THE DOOR.

Frank “The Fortress” Sterling.
They call him a machine. A wall. A monster in the crease.
As the star goalie for VSU, he has three rules: No distractions. No emotions. And absolutely nobody touches his gear.
He’s superstitious, obsessive, and scary intense. He’s also the hottest man on campus, with eyes like ice and a body built for violence.
I’m the new Head Equipment Manager. My job is literally to touch his gear.
Naturally, he hates me.
He thinks I’m “entropy.” I think he’s a brooding gargoyle with a god complex.
I should stay away. But when he needs a tutor to save his GPA and his draft stock, I’m the only one who can help.

Sandra “Sunny” O’Neil.
I live my life in color-coded spreadsheets and romance novels. I’m invisible. Safe.
Until Frank Sterling drags me into his dark, quiet world.
We made a deal: I fix his grades; he lets me do my job.
But late nights in the library turn into heated glances in the locker room. The hatred melts into something dangerous. Something possessing.
He looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters. He touches me like he wants to devour me.
But Frank is a fortress for a reason. And when the NHL scouts start asking questions about his “distractions,” we both realize that falling in love might cost us the game.

We’re playing with fire on fresh ice. And someone is about to get burned.
