These first responders are about to fall hard. Come meet these shifter heroes as they find their fated mates!

Three swoony hockey players. Three fierce heroines. One unforgettable team. Welcome to Maple Creek, where the ice is cold, but the chemistry is scorching. This small-town hockey series follows the Maple Creek Thunder as they battle on the ice—and fall hard off it. With fake dates, forbidden secrets, and more than a few broken rules, these men are about to learn that the biggest games aren’t always played in the arena.

Life in a small town can suck. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. I’ve managed to keep one though. I’m in love with Ford Miller. I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself. When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder. Then my grandma comes back to town, determined to set me up with someone. I know she’s just worried about me, but that doesn’t mean I want her playing matchmaker. So, I come up with a plan. Now, I just need to convince Ford to go along with it.

When my parents died and left me the wolf sanctuary in Wolf Valley, it was a dream come true for me. Then I started looking at the finances and realized just how screwed I was. The sanctuary is losing money, a lot of money, and I need to come up with some cash fast in order to save it. When some hot shot billionaire shows up in town, I'm not sure what to expect. Our first meeting is magical. I've never felt that way about anyone before. It was just an instant connection.

I ran. From my past. From the people who hurt me. From a system that never once protected me. I missed my court date, and now there’s a bounty on my head. I never expected a bounty hunter to track me down so fast. Or for him to be the most dangerously handsome man I’ve ever met. Cyrus is relentless, intimidating… and completely unreadable. But the moment our eyes meet, something shifts. He’s not just here to bring me in—he’s something else. Something more.

I’ve been in love with Foster for as long as I can remember. Tall, brooding, and fiercely protective—he’s always been the one. But to him, I’ve always just been his kid sister’s best friend. Until everything changes. I’m finally eighteen, and the second our eyes meet, something shifts. Suddenly, he’s looking at me like I’m his. And I know I’ve never wanted anything more. He says I’m too young, that we can’t be together, but fate doesn’t care about age or rules. And neither do I.

As captain of the Maple Creek Thunder, he’s determined to lead his team to victory after last season’s humiliating scandal. That means curfews, no drama, and absolutely no breaking the rules. And that especially means keeping his hands off Violet Hayes—his best friend’s little sister and the team’s new social media manager.

Who falls in love on vacation?

Lymric: When my best friend convinced me to come visit her in Wolf Valley, I thought that maybe it would be a fresh start. I thought that it would be a chance for me to find some peace and quiet. Instead, I found Camden. Or he found me. It doesn’t matter, the outcome is the same. He says that I’m his. I say that he’s crazy. But what’s crazier, is that I’m starting to believe him.

Camden: As soon as I saw Lymric in town, I knew that she was the one for me.

Being the Alpha's daughter means living under a microscope—every move, every word, every breath is judged. I’m suffocating in the role I never chose and desperate for an escape. So when my father sends me on a secret mission to spy on the Twisted Oak Pack, I jump at the chance to experience some freedom. But my assignment doesn’t go as planned.

I needed a miracle. What I got was a cocky, late-as-hell comedian with too many jokes and a smile that could ruin lives. Sharing a cross-country road trip with Anthony Bronson wasn’t part of my five-year plan, but when a once-in-a-lifetime job interview lands on the opposite coast and my bank account laughs in my face, desperate times call for cocky measures. He’s messy where I’m meticulous. Loud where I’m quiet. And somehow, in between pit stops, comedy clubs, and too many shared hotel beds… he starts to feel like home. This was supposed to be a ride. Just a ride.

Buying my first house was supposed to be exciting. And it is… until I meet my next-door neighbor. Meyer West. He’s grumpy, rude, and always stomping around like he has a personal vendetta against the world. I’m determined to ignore him, just like he’s been ignoring me. That is until I get set up on a blind date—with none other than Mr. Grumpy himself.

I never wanted to see Alaska. I pictured it as just a snowy wasteland. So, when my mom tells me that my stepdad booked us a trip to a remote location in Alaska for my birthday, I'm not exactly thrilled. I'm actually kind of surprised, because my mom and I aren't really close and we don't normally celebrate my birthday. I thought that maybe this trip was going to be a turning point. I have no idea just how much is going to change though

Two Alphas; one who thinks that he's broken and the other cursed. When their fated mates show up, they have a choice to make. Claim their mates, or let their curse and broken pieces hold them back.

She’s perfect. Phoenix moved to my pack’s land and has been causing havoc with my heart ever since. It’s obvious that she’s hiding from someone or something and my wolf is begging me to keep her safe at all costs. I’m broken though. I couldn’t keep myself safe, let alone some fragile human girl. When the danger that’s after her finally comes to my town though, I can’t stop myself from protecting my mate. I would do anything to keep her safe and by my side. I only hope that she’ll feel the same after she sees the real me.

I've known that Tessa was my mate from the moment she showed up in Aspen Ridge. I haven't claimed her though. I can't. Resisting her is getting harder and harder though. Now I'm stuck in a hotel room with her. A hotel room with just one bed. When I give in and claim her, will I get my heart broken or get my happily ever after?

I’m a dog person. So, how did I wind up fostering fifteen cats? The answer to that is Winnie Mae. She runs the local animal shelter and when someone starts a fire there, I rescue her and the cats. When she told me that they had nowhere else to go, I volunteered to take them. Why would I do that? Well, because I’m in love with Winnie.

For as long as I can remember, Ansel has been my protector. In middle school, he was the tall, strong, boy who kept my bullies at bay. In high school, he was the only one brave enough to stand up to my stepdad. That was when I realized I loved him. I almost told him, too. But then he left. He joined the Marines and vanished from my life, leaving me behind in our small town. I thought I’d never see him again, but now he’s back, and the moment I lay eyes on him, I know that I’m still completely, hopelessly in love with him.

When my rental house gets condemned, I’m not exactly surprised. I mean, the place was always a dump, but it was all that I could afford. Now I have a problem. I need to find a new place to live, which is easier said than done in a small town like Wolf Valley. Then I learn that the new guy in town is looking for a roommate. He may just be the answer to my problem… and the man of my dreams.

When I got the first letter from my secret admirer, I was flattered. With the second, I grew intrigued. By the third, I’m starting to fall in love with him. I wish that I could meet him in person, but I don’t know how to arrange that.
