🌶️🌶️ Smut

Henri Vasel has perfected the art of people pleasing. He’s a good student, a fair hockey player, and he has a group of friends he’d do anything for. He’s happy. Or, rather, as happy as he can be when he has a class with the one person he can’t seem to please at South Carolina University. Atlas Kaiser hates a lot of things, but right now he hates Henri Vasel the most. He doesn’t want to have to stare at his perfect face, or listen to his adorable German accent. He wants to be left alone. Unfortunately, they’re partnered together for the semester so he’ll have to grit his teeth and try to make it work. Animosity morphs into a tentative friendship, which eventually leads to more. But while Atlas doesn’t trust their budding relationship, Henri wants more.

Two rivals. One room. Three weeks to ruin everything. Declan Morrow is Team USA's most intimidating enforcer—six-foot-three, granite-jawed...and so deep in the closet he's forgotten there's a door. He's at the Winter Olympics for one gold. What he's not here for is Cole Arsenault. Cole left the US for Quebec at sixteen and never looked back. He's bilingual, bisexual, and he's built his whole life around refusing to be anyone other than who he is. Declan has resented him for six years. And now they're stuck sharing an apartment in the Olympic village. The room is too small. The tension too high. And somewhere between the late-night silences and the on-ice chemistry they can't deny, something happens that neither of them has a playbook for—making every stolen hour behind a locked door harder to walk away from. But the Games have an expiration date. Declan's agent is circling. A journalist is closing in with a story threatening to out closeted NFL players. And Cole has been here waiting for a man to choose him, watching the clock run out. The countdown is real. And falling for each other might cost them everything they've spent their careers building. Perfect for fans of Rachel Reid's Heated Rivalry who want higher stakes, and an Olympic clock ticking down to zero. Medaling is a dual-POV, rivals-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring forced proximity, a closeted athlete finding his courage, explicit open-door scenes, and a guaranteed HEA.

Lies brought us together. The truth tore us apart. I should know better than to get involved with my ex’s daughter. Looking like the ghost from my past, Violet moves into my home, tormenting me with those sinful curves. Her familiar hazel eyes haunt my dreams, reminding me of her deceased mother, dragging me back to that fateful night. Eighteen years ago, the heavens burst with red and blue hues as a storm tore through my world, leaving me with nothing but guilt and remorse. Violet skies are never a good omen, but now those hues are wild streaks in her hair, matching her personality that refuses to be tamed. After growing up in foster care, Violet wants answers, but the truth hurts. The secrets I’m keeping are to protect her. I’m no saint and I don’t deserve her, but I’m not the worst villain from her mother’s past. I’ll be damned if I stand by and watch history repeat itself. She’s either my redemption or my penance. Contains mature themes.
