Southern Sharks Series by Paedon Sims

It was supposed to be a one-time thing. A small con to give my hockey star brother a chance to heal without revealing his injury to his coach or teammates. But when that "little" injury proves to be something potentially career-ending, it's up to me to fake my way through the rest of his season... moreIt was supposed to be a one-time thing. A small con to give my hockey star brother a chance to heal without revealing his injury to his coach or teammates. But when that "little" injury proves to be something potentially career-ending, it's up to me to fake my way through the rest of his season. But I'm a figure skater, not a hockey player and with my own future hanging in the balance, I find myself relying on my brother's childhood best friend and teammate Mac to help me limp through this charade while following the rules. Rule number one? Don't get caught. Difficult, but doable. Rule number two? Don't get killed. Not planning on it, though it's proving harder than I thought. Rule number three? Don't get involved with Theo's teammates. Ha, that one will be easy at least... right? less

The con hasn't gone off without a hitch, but neither Theo nor I have managed to lose our scholarships - yet. That's not to say that this hare-brained scheme has gone over well or that we can maintain the charade for much longer. I'm injured, his teammates are pissed, the trust that's left amongst them is razor-thin, and I have a brand new skating partner with the biggest competition of my life looming over my head... moreThe con hasn't gone off without a hitch, but neither Theo nor I have managed to lose our scholarships - yet. That's not to say that this hare-brained scheme has gone over well or that we can maintain the charade for much longer. I'm injured, his teammates are pissed, the trust that's left amongst them is razor-thin, and I have a brand new skating partner with the biggest competition of my life looming over my head. With my loyalty divided between the rink I love and the rink I've promised to cover, the stakes have never been higher - especially when the truth of how much time Mac and I have been spending together and the feelings that have bloomed come to light. It's Theo's worst nightmare, but it's about to get worse. Secrets are everywhere and I'm not sure how many more I can keep before I burst at the seams. Everything is on the line and I'm torn in so many directions that I don't know if I can skate on ice this thin without falling through.Part two of a high-stakes college sports romance full of witty banter, second chances, and twists you'll never see coming. There's rules for a reason and breaking them always comes with consequences. less
