"The water hears and understands. The ice does not forgive." They met age five, tiny, stumbling to pull the weight of tiny hockey bags stuffed full with pads and an extra pair of laces, because their parents could never be too careful. Their parents held their carefully taped sticks and met eyes as they climbed the steps leading to the rink. It wasn't a place for magic, this hockey rink; yet Bella would swear, in years to come, that she felt some sign from the ice that they were meant to be best friends. Her parents laughed as she said this; she was cute with her front teeth missing. Not a place for magic, but Winnie certainly thought so, skipping home. But somewhere along the way, that changed.

Sophie Amelia Tkachuk was the first girl to ever qualify for the World Juniors, and was the youngest Tkachuk sibling, the little sister of famous NHLers, Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, and friends with Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes. Ever since Sophie was a little girl, she dreamed of playing hockey with her brothers in the NHL. But when she was told that she couldn't be able to do that due to her being a girl, her world crashed. Ever since then, Sophie trained for days on end, to hopefully prove to the NHL that she was good enough to play, but deep down, she knew that would never happen. But little did Sophie know, the NHL had other plans for her on June 28-29, 2023. A/n: Connor Bedard doesn't come in until later in the story, as the first few chapters are just to explain Sophie's background and her journey up until June 28, 2023. I'll try to publish as often as possible as I have a lot of ideas for this book, but I can't promise anything. I do hope you like the book and any comments you might have, I'd love to hear. :) -Skylor P.s This story is also available on Quotev @Skylor Nguyen or search One in 2330 ~ Connor Bedard Love Story

We build our lives on the most unstable things; ice. All of us built our futures, our careers on ice, something that under pressure would crack. And for all of us, it cracked, and we fell through. He thought he was ready. The world thought he was ready. But apparently, he wasn't ready. NATHAN CHEN was set to win the gold medal at the 2018 Olympics, he had everything, the quads, the luck, the mental game. But at the Olympics, everything gave out. He was just an 18-year-old, with too much pressure on his shoulders. KIERRA YU was a shot in the dark. She came out of nowhere, with the ability to randomly and spastically throw quads. She had the so-called "full package." She knew what she was there for, to win. Yet she got distracted and too involved, and in the end, it lead to her downfall. VINCENT ZHOU was young and naive. He had never won, and going to the Olympics was honestly just for fun. He wished that he could be more, more talented, more skilled, more of everything, but he wasn't. Three athletes from the United States of America, three destinies, three skaters that fell short. 2018 brought failure, in all sorts of aspects, from skating to their love life. But all three are waiting for their redemption skate, the skate where they win. But jealousy, lovers, and exes never mix, and some will rise, and others will drown. Yet to move on they must all forget the past, learn to forgive, and give second chances. But to all of them they still question; Can you juggle a career and a relationship? And in a world full of secrets and lies, which one will rise, and which will fall? TRIGGER WARNING. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SUICIDAL, DEPRESSED, ANOREXIC, OR THIS MAY TRIGGER YOU IN ANY WAY.

For Rachel Beckett the Olympics was a huge defining moment in her life, something she had been working tirelessly towards since she was five years old. Winning that gold medal meant everything to her and when she finally got there and choked, her life was turned upside down. What do you do when everything you've worked for your whole life is gone and you instantly go from being America's Sweetheart to a laughing stock? Well I can tell you what Rachel did. She ran. She moved to Texas, changed her hair color, started going by her middle name and tried to forget she ever did figure skating. When she finally went back to her hometown three years later to visit her family, she ran into her old figure skating coach and he convinced her that she could have a second chance to make her dream of Olympic gold happen. Falling in love with the new hockey coach wasn't part of the plan. Making her comeback ended up being a lot harder than she thought it would be, especially when family turmoil, anxiety, tragedy and love get in the way, but maybe a second chance and someone to believe in her is all she needs to make it happen. **** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18 only!

The Falling Effect: When you do something that causes something else to happen (i.e. you fall down, you scrape your knee. Or you have sex, you get pregnant) Greyson Rhodes: a 27 year old tall, muscular, hot but arrogant, NHL hockey player, rich of course, and total fuck boy. Evelyn Lynch: a 5 foot 6 beautiful brunette, extrovert, book lover, 26 year old, owner of a bakery... and carrying NHL hockey player Greyson Rhode's baby? ~ What happens when a drunken one-night stand causes a lifelong accident? Greyson Rhodes First comes love, then comes marriages, then comes a baby in a baby carriage. That's how it goes right? Wrong. Notorious f-boy and pro hockey player Greyson Rhodes, doesn't fall in love, he doesn't get married, and he definitely does not have a baby in a baby carriage, or so he thought. Evelyn Lynch Evelyn wasn't the type of girl for one-night stands, but after a bad break up 4 months ago, that all changed. Living with Florida's most known playboy hockey player is one thing, falling in love with him, even though your father forbids it, is another...
