Now they’re teammates on the Olympic roster. Three weeks of hiding. One gold medal game that changes everything.
Perfect for readers who love: women’s hockey romance, “what happened between us” tension, rivals forced to work together
Off the Court
Tropes: Forbidden Romance, Secret Relationship, Forced Proximity, Power Exchange, Praise Kink
Maya Rossi is the head athletic trainer for her father’s championship basketball program. Three years ago, her father made her girlfriend disappear with a quiet phone call. Maya learned to be still. To hold the clipboard. To never want anything again.
Then Sloane Wilder walks into the training room at 10:47 PM—the star player, the one everyone watches, the one Maya absolutely cannot touch.

Her executive assistant Lily Chen is twenty-eight, relentlessly warm, and the only person who’s ever made Elena’s composure slip. When a blizzard traps them in a Swiss chalet for five days, the ice finally cracks.

Why Readers Love Aurora North
Aurora North writes sapphic romance for readers who want more than just representation—they want heat. Her books consistently deliver:
Complex heroines. These aren’t simple characters. They’re athletes protecting careers, CEOs hiding behind walls, women who’ve been hurt before and are terrified to want again. The emotional stakes match the physical ones.
Sports romance that actually understands sports. Whether it’s basketball, hockey, or the business world, Aurora writes settings that feel real—the locker room dynamics, the media pressure, the physical toll of competition.
Slow burns that pay off. The tension builds. The almost-moments pile up. And when the characters finally give in, it’s worth every agonizing page of waiting.
Guaranteed happy endings. Every book ends with an HEA. The journey might be intense, but you can trust where it’s going.
