I’m supposed to protect you after the most horrific time in your life. To do that I made a rule: No falling in love with you. But I effed up because I’m so damn in love with you that I ache for you without end. For seven years, I’ve held you when you cried, looked after you, and made damn sure you got back all the confidence stolen from you. It’s just, the whole time, I’ve been pining after you like a lovesick puppy. Pathetic, I know.

Sleeping with my teammate's sister? Rookie mistake. Getting her pregnant? Career-ending penalty. They call me the Guru—the guy who never loses his cool, never breaks the code, and definitely doesn't knock up his best friend's little sister after one perfect, reckless night. But judging by Beatrice's new baby bump, six months ago, I did just that. Now she's back in New Orleans, gorgeous, glowing, and determined to do this solo. She doesn't need my money, my help, or my suddenly inconvenient feelings. Too bad.

The game is all that matters. It's all that's ever mattered. I've dreamed of wearing a big-league jersey since the first day I grasped a baseball. Now, I'm so close. Playing in the minors has been a blast, but I know I'm ready. Then, Cooper appeared in the tunnel one night after a game.

Being around him makes me forget all my worries, even when a batting slump threatens everything.

Marcos meets a stranger at a party and wonders if the universe is laughing at him. His life has become a seemingly endless stream of bad days. Everything is a struggle, from his friendship with Max to the simple act of changing in the locker room after a baseball game. Stress and anxiety sit so heavily on his shoulders, he can barely function under the weight of it. Starting a relationship is the very last thing he wants or feels he deserves. Particularly when Nate—beautiful, gregarious, and kind Nate— could have anybody he wanted.

In my defense, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team. And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter. That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date. But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him. When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. We mostly succeed…except for that time after a game when he couldn’t keep his talented hands off me. But I swear, it won’t happen again.

We’re both determined to keep love at arm’s length. So why has he been featuring in way too many of my fantasies lately? And why did I walk in on him taking care of himself—catching a glimpse of his many piercings in the process—and hear him groan my name? Giving in to the attraction between us would be a bad idea… but with every passing day, I have a harder time remembering why.

But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip.

Crosby Rhodes è considerato un dio del football, e forse lo è davvero. Le ragazze bramano quel corpo sodo, affinato da anni di sollevamento pesi e due allenamenti al giorno. Non ho mai capito perché sembra fare di tutto per umiliarmi e ferirmi. Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa ho fatto per suscitare tanto odio, ma ciò implicherebbe parlargli, e mi rifiuto di farlo. Manca solo un semestre alla laurea, e sono certa che riusciremo ad evitarci e mantenere la pace, ma ovunque vada, me lo ritrovo accanto, come se non riuscissi a togliermelo di dosso.

I always imagined bringing my hot, charming, amazing new boyfriend home for Christmas. And I thought about how great it would be to meet his parents too.

And our first chance to be together...with our families.

They think my greatest gift is my ability on the ice. But they're wrong. I've been hailed as the guy who has it all when it comes to hockey.

Graham Jenkins, former NHL player and the General Manager of the Dallas Destroyers. The second he set eyes on me in the little leagues, he piled all his resources into my success. And when the Destroyers were awarded the first-round draft pick, he didn't hesitate to snap me up.

“To convince a man to marry you, you have to be what they envision. Pretty, quiet, caring, and barefoot in the kitchen.” My mother's expectations have never wavered. I’m determined to be more, even if it is within the confines of Featherstone Academy. I'm tired of being forced into a mold I don't fit in. I want to be me, however that looks. Finding myself, and understanding what matters is my number one focus, over everything else. Taking inspiration from my reading obsession, I know what I want my life to look like, but getting it is a completely different issue.

He's the disciplined running back they all rely on. The last thing he needs is a mind-blowing attraction to his teammate's younger sister. But this siren has some kind of power over him that he's struggling to resist… I didn't mean to see her naked in the bathroom that day, but she just stood there, smirking at me. It was like she wanted me to look… but like hell I'm going there. Her brother is overly protective, to say the least, and I'm not about to go messing with her. I respect him too much to even look at her again. Although that's proving to be an impossible challenge.
