Welcome back to Briar U!
Discover the next generation in this icy-hot spin-off series from The Queen of Hockey Romance, Elle Kennedy!
College senior Charlotte Kingston is living two lives - and she's nailing both of them. By day, she's the perfect sorority girl, a STEM student in biomedical engineering, and the adopted daughter of an overachiever family. At night, she's Charlie: a risk-taking daredevil looking for fun who finds herself chatting on a dating app with two anonymous hotties.
Will Larsen may seem like the breezy boy next door, but his congressman father is a constant thorn in his side. After a scandal hits another Division 1 hockey program, Will's dad is determined to distance his son from it, hiring a journalist to prove how squeaky-clean Will and his team are. Which means the last thing Will wants is for anyone to find out he and his best friend Beckett Dunne - a laidback Aussie shielding secret heartache - sometimes share girls in the bedroom.
When Charlie finally meets them in person and realizes she's been chatting with two gorgeous Briar U hockey players, things get steamy - fast. But all their messy secrets are piling up, and real life soon threatens to shatter the fantasy. With Charlie, Will, and Beckett all coming to terms with what they want and what others want for them, difficult decisions will need to be made.
Especially when lust starts to look a lot like love.

Prepletené kráľovstvo 2: Pradivo nekonečna
Alizeh, dávno stratená dedička starobylého kráľovstva džinov, a Kamran, korunný princ ľudskej ríše Ardunie, podľahli pokušeniu a ukradnutý bozk otriasol nielen ich predsavzatiami, ale i životmi.
Kamranov starý otec je mŕtvy. Zabil ho vládca Tulanu Cyrus, ktorý odviedol Alizeh do svojej krajiny, kde sa s ňou plánuje oženiť. Svadbou s ním získa všetko, čo potrebuje, aby sa stala džinskou kráľovnou - a tým, že prevezme trón, Cyrus splatí vlastnú dohodu s diablom.
Alizeh však nechce mať so Cyrusovou dohodou ani s diablom nič spoločné. No z Tulanu niet úniku, a tak sa bude musieť rozhodnúť, či dokáže odložiť city bokom a stať sa kráľovnou, ktorá má šancu oslobodiť džinov spod nadvlády ľudí.
Kamran sa medzitým snaží v Ardunii zachrániť, čo sa dá. Na každom kroku sa stretáva so zradou a isté je len to, že sa musí vydať do Tulanu pomstiť starého otca. Ostáva mu iba dúfať, že Alizeh tam naňho bude čakať - a že sa ešte nestala kráľovnou Tulanu.
