Ten Februaries

Holiday Romance · Heat-flexible, high ceiling · 26 chapters · 84K novel · Dual 1st person

Complete planning package, 199 pages: the premise, a full codex, every chapter outlined, an AI prompt for every chapter, and the whole launch kit — listing, blurb, keywords, posts, newsletter, reader magnet — already written. One buyer only. When it’s claimed, it’s gone.

Margo Tenney is the youngest head athletic trainer in the league, a woman who runs on checklists, ice packs, and the rule that her heart is not a medical emergency. For ten years, every fourteenth of February has belonged to exactly one person, a tray of wings, and the worst movie they can find.

Then a genuinely lovely man asks her to dinner on the one night that has never belonged to anyone else, and she cancels.

Except before the fourteenth arrives, there's Teddy Nwosu, the starting goalie on her team, gone soft in the net for reasons only she can read; a conduct policy that says exactly what trainers and players may not do; a green marbled notebook holding ten years of scores, with a back half neither of them has ever opened; a Dixie cup of Dragon Honey sauce he still carries like a chalice; and a Valentine's charity game with a Kiss Cam, counting down above center ice.

She has spent ten years being the steady one, handing out ice instead of the truth, because needing someone has always felt like the injury. He has spent the same ten years being cheerful and helpful and exactly one sentence short of honest, because a goalie who never asks for anything can never be told no. Six weeks and a scoreboard are about to ask both of them for it.

A Valentine's hockey romance with a ten-year ache, a locker room full of nicknames, and not one villain in sight. The kind of book where the saddest, sweetest thing in the story is a two-dollar notebook with a rule written on the cover.

WHY THIS WILL SELL

→ Romance > Sports Romance reads as Hot Mainstream — the best sales-to-competition ratio in the Romance subcategory set, with room for standouts

→ Dual-category play with Romance > Friends to Lovers (Hot Niche) — the strongest trope niche in Romance, searched by exactly this reader

→ A third lane in Holiday & Seasonal (Valentine's) — demand returns every January and February; hockey-forward titles are rare there

→ Ten February flashbacks wrapped around a six-week countdown — no leading title in the niche uses a recurring date as its spine

→ The unread back half of the notebook is built to travel — "I cried at the notebook" is a reliably shared review

TROPES: • Friends to Lovers • Secret Mutual Pining • He Fell First • Forbidden-ish Workplace Romance • Hockey Romance • Grand Gesture at the Valentine's Game • Jealousy Without Cruelty • The Genuinely Nice Guy Who Loses Well • Valentine's Day as the Recurring Date • Dual POV • Ten-Year Slow Burn • Shared Tradition That Becomes a Love Letter • The Notebook Nobody Opens • Happily Ever After

HEAT LEVEL: Moderate — a slow-building first kiss and one tender, emotionally explicit night; the three intimate scenes are flagged so you can dial them anywhere from closed door to open door

Perfect for fans of: Elle Kennedy, Hannah Grace, Christina Lauren, and Emily Henry
