Rome Beneventi is a walking, talking bad decision—six feet, five inches of tattoos, temptation, and trouble wrapped in a smirk and dipped in sin. This MMA champion should come with a warning label . . . or at the very least a disclaimer. I sell books, and he breaks bones. We are not on the same page. At least not until he discovers my secret and instead of keeping it, blackmails me into fake dating him.

Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way. My brother’s best friend and Philly’s favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch. Until I did. . . And now I can’t stop.

As the only girl on an all-male Division I hockey team, I’m not a novelty—I’m a threat. A spark in a powder keg of testosterone. But I didn’t come to play nice. I came to dominate. I didn’t expect them . . . The golden boy captain who carries the team on his shoulders. The brooding guardian with a darkness that calls to me. The hot and cold viper who kisses me breathless in dark corners—then acts like it never happened. And the quiet bruiser who speaks my language in video games.

I was supposed to get married on national television. Instead, I was humiliated at the altar and ran straight into bad boy pro football star Dex Bradley. Literally. He’s my best friend’s grumpy older brother, and he needs a nanny for his surprise baby. I need to salvage my dignity. One fake marriage later, we’ve got a deal. It’s supposed to be strictly business. He’s off-limits.

Pro football legend Madden Bradley was never supposed to be anything but my enemy. With one season left on his contract, he’s set to take over his family’s empire, and I’m his business rival. Forced into a partnership we both resent, the last place I should be is tangled in his sheets. Now we’re stuck working together, and the more we clash, the more explosive the tension becomes…until it finally detonates. He’s maddening, charming, and completely addictive. And when he murmurs exactly what he’s going to do to me, I forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.

My job is simple: make Maverick Jennings, the world’s grumpiest quarterback, look like a decent human being. If I can’t fix his reputation, I can kiss my dream of launching my own brand consulting business goodbye. His job? Making my life a living nightmare. He’s arrogant, impossible, and entirely too handsome for someone so determined to self-destruct. He rejects every idea, challenges every strategy, and looks at me like he can’t decide whether to strangle me or kiss me. Honestly, same.

Moving to a new place is not something a girl like me is unfamiliar with. My beat-up old suitcase has more miles than good memories. I have long since given up hope that changing schools will somehow change my life. I just want to blend in and get by until I age out.

Welcome to the college years . . . Love has not been easy for Tessa Ross and Lucas Links, but they have managed to overcome situations that so many others in their lives haven't.

What new joys, pains, and decisions will they make as they take their first steps into adulthood?

Giovanna: Everything I thought about my life was a lie and because of that, trust became non-existent for me. Then I met Declan. He pushed his way into my life, determined to prove to me that not everyone is a liar. He’s a hockey player, and we all know the reputation of hockey players. But I want to trust someone again…maybe he’s the one?

Erik Sørenson. Fast. Hot. Electrifying. With a grin that could melt ice. My life was going just fine here in Brooklyn where I've lived all my life. Then, the player they call the Nordic Lightning came skating into it. What I know about hockey I could fit on the tip of my little finger. I know even less about Erik Sørenson. But I'm a fast learner. Almost as fast as he is in those skates. I've learned he's a Swedish import...or is it Norwegian? I've learned he's the playmaker, the one that helps his teammates score - both on and off the ice.

Preston Parker is the son of a famous hockey player and the captain of his team. He shouldn’t want his coach’s daughter, but he’s never been one to turn down a challenge. Tucker and Trent Kane are the sons of a hockey icon and love playing games. They’re happily screwing their way through the student body…until they meet two feisty women who whip their butts into shape.

I’ve been under so much pressure lately, between my agent and my soccer prospects and my abusive biological father trying to extort money I don’t even have. What better way to distract myself from the pressures of going pro than to get under a woman whose curves could make a venus statue jealous? Fern is everything a man could ask for: unbearably sexy, brilliantly smart, and oh-so-responsive in bed. That unforgettable night is the best bad decision I've ever made. That is until she shows up as the TA in my math class. Suddenly, our forbidden connection could jeopardize both of our futures.

Gamer. Lover of comic books. Nerd-jock who will do anything to score. That about sums up Jameson O’Connor. He’s also my friend. One of the few people on campus who knows my secret. I don’t know what I was thinking when I kissed him. I must have lost my mind when I asked him on a date...or agreed to cook for his teammates. I never expected to fall for him. But Jamie knew every button to press. Every level to hit.

The first time I met Preston Parker, I slammed face-first into his wet, chiseled abs. In the men’s locker room, of all places. I did the world’s longest walk of shame in front of dozens of hockey players. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, Mr. MVP gave me one of his killer smirks, right before dropping his towel in front of me. Just to prove a point. That no woman can resist him. Not even me.
