Showing results for "Legends" in Sports

My new neighbor, Ben Stirling, is a beautiful, famous ex-player. A living NHL legend. A single dad with sad eyes and a smile I feel in my knees. I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s what would you’d get if you squeezed masculinity through a sieve. He’s the grit. The pulp. The hard stuff that leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. On top of that, he’s kind and funny, and did I mention he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on?

Since Pro basketball player Ty “Pretty Boy” Washington picked up a basketball, he’s only ever wanted one thing: to make it to the pro league and win championships. As the number one pick in the draft, he defies the odds in his rookie year by beating the record of one of the greatest players in the league, Sid “The Wonder Kid” King. For years, Ty has looked forward to playing in the same league as Sid, the epitome of success. What he doesn’t expect is their intense chemistry or how Sid is the only person who can see that he’s barely hanging on.

Everything is clicking for the Vengeance. We may be new, but we’re well on our way to winning the championship, and I’m having the time of my life headlining the sports media as the hottest goalie - hell, player - ever. I, for one, am going to live up to my name...because I am Legend Bay. Dragging my ass home from the gym, I’m blinded by some gaudy, glowing holiday lights. As usual, my hot-as-hell neighbor Pepper Nantais has gone way over the top. But just as I’m about to tell her off, something else catches my eye.

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I DO NOT WANT a girlfriend . . . Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of my hand—shouldn't I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down? If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it's virtually impossible to tell us apart—but that's where the similarities end.

I, Dallas Colter, am kind of a massive A hole-and need help fixing that personality problem. With too much on my plate, the very last thing on my mind is a relationship-the football draft is looming, I never understood why my teammates bother with girlfriends. None of us had the time. When my sports agent suggests that being seen in public with a "respectable" girl would be good for my bad reputation, I couldn't think of a single person to help me out. The only girls I know aren't wifey material, and the ones who are? Might catch feelings. Except Ryann Winters.

Blair Adams's dreams are finally coming true–well, almost. Getting accepted into Happily Ever After University is like winning a golden ticket to guaranteed success. On top of the daunting work load, she's dodging her vain and obsessive ex-boyfriend, and working nearly full time to pay for tuition and the growing mountain of her father's bills.

Long black hair and even longer legs, Tess Donahue had lost the braces and gained the confidence she never had as a teenager. She's hilarious, pretty—and when I see her in those cowboy boots? Whoa. Stolen glances. Flirty banter. One drunk filled night. Suddenly, my uncomplicated weekend of "living a little" in my hometown becomes a lifetime being tied to the one girl that was off limits.

Victoria Chase lit a fire in me I refuse to extinguish. Now I’m forced to face a truth and a past I no longer wish to deny. Losing control means I could lose everything. It almost happened once before. The difference this time? I’m not fighting it.

Was bleibt, wenn die Dunkelheit das Licht verschlingt? Slayer Riggs war der gefeierte Star-Quarterback der NFL. Der Held, der sämtliche Rekorde scheinbar mühelos brach und alle Herzen im Sturm eroberte, bis ein tragischer Helikopterabsturz sein Leben über Nacht für immer veränderte. Auch wenn die körperlichen Narben mit der Zeit verblasst sind, bleiben die seelischen Qualen, die Slayer wie dunkle Dämonen verfolgen und dafür sorgen, dass seine legendäre Karriere als Footballprofi vor dem Aus steht.

Geburtstagswunsch mit Folgen. Reece Cooper ist der Mann, in den ich seit Jahren unsterblich verliebt bin. Früher war er ein bekannter Footballstar, doch ein schwerer Unfall sorgte für sein Karriereende. Mittlerweile ist er Mannschaftsarzt bei den Las Vegas Legends und der Nachbar meines großen Bruders, seines besten Freundes, bei dem ich noch heute lebe, weil er bis zu meiner Volljährigkeit mein gesetzlicher Vormund war. Insofern bin ich für Reece, der auch noch dreizehn Jahre älter ist als ich, ein absolutes Tabu.

Was in Vegas passiert, bleibt in Vegas. Aber was, wenn die ganze Welt davon erfährt? Zeus. Regel Nummer 1 als Profifootballer: Mach keine Fehler. Vor allem nicht, wenn sie blond, verboten und verdammt heiß sind. Mein Leben als Spitzensportler, dessen Privatleben ungewollt in der Öffentlichkeit breitgetreten wird, ist herausfordernd. Trotzdem habe ich theoretisch alles, was ein Mensch sich nur wünschen kann. Was ich jedoch vor allen verberge, ist, dass mir etwas fehlt, um richtig glücklich zu sein.

"Was in Las Vegas passiert, bleibt in Las Vegas", heißt es. Für die, die hier leben, bleibt dieses ungeschriebene Gesetz allerdings nicht selten eine Illusion. Denn Geheimnisse kommen schneller ans Licht der "Sin City", als man denkt. Nach einem heißen One-Night-Stand glaubt Cleo Vanderbroek nicht daran, ihrem leidenschaftlichen Liebhaber jemals wiederzubegegnen. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne. Als sie im Auftrag ihres Vaters die Konditionen des Sponsorenvertrags mit den Las Vegas Legends neu verhandeln soll, steht sie dem attraktiven Fremden unerwartet erneut gegenüber.

It started in the English countryside when he stopped to see if I was having car trouble. It should have ended there. But it turned into three of the most intense days of my life. And guess what? It didn't end there either. His name is Xavier Maddox. Sexy, talented, untamed. A British soccer star. The enticing bad boy. He should be off limits for me. I have this policy about getting involved with professional athletes—or, as I call them, the product.
