Showing results for "Love" in Sports

The arrangement was perfect. I make my donation, she gets her baby, we go back to being friends. No strings. No messy heartbreak. Except everything changes when we decide it’ll be a lot more fun to make a direct deposit and do things the old fashioned way. That spark between us? Now it’s a blazing fire I have no desire to extinguish. Our baby proposition just got a lot more complicated. 

Lucas, the star quarterback, seems to have it all—superstar athletic abilities, expensive clothes, cars, and women who will stop at nothing to be his, if only for a night. Tessa is a young woman who lives her life always doing what is right. She tries desperately to hold herself accountable to the demanding expectations of her family, and everyone around her, while remaining virtuous. However, when two worlds collide, sparks fly and ignite in a fiery passion that neither Lucas nor especially Tessa are ready for. Will the fire and passion of first love win, or will it destroy them?

I have a plan for my senior year. Graduate valedictorian, defend my state swimming title, and get a full ride scholarship to my dream school. I can’t afford to let anything distract me, including my crush on Paul. Then I get a new teammate in the pool. Andrea is my biggest rival, and her older brother, Dylan, is the hot swimmer everyone is after. He’s a troublemaker and the exact opposite of me. When Dylan asks me out, I’m not sure what to do.

Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn’t know a thing about baking. He doesn’t even like sugar. So when my late stepfather’s will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he’d painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it’s no surprise he balks.

From the author of the sensational TikTok-hit, From Lukov with Love, and the 'queen of the slow-burn romance'! ......................................... Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top...

Johnny Maverick is a lot of things. Great hockey player. Loyal friend. Rule breaker. Always up for a good time. And now, he’s my new roommate.

From international best-selling author, Lexy Timms, comes a forbidden romance that'll set your heart racing. She'd given up on love. He didn't have time for it. She thinks he's a stuck up pretty boy who doesn't care about anyone but himself, and he thinks she's a stuck up prude who wouldn't know how to "put out" if she tried.

Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine. I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter. It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions. Except our new assistant coach just walked in. And I would know her face anywhere. She’s the one I dream about.

I made the worst mistake of my life when I let my dad move me across the country after my sophomore year of high school. Had my football career taken off? Yes. But I’d lost the best thing that ever happened to me because of it. Anna Dupree was the only girl who ever loved me as a person and not for my athletic talent. Who cares if I can run the forty in 4.2 seconds, or if beautiful women sneak into my hotel room at away games?

Lass dich nie auf einen Footballspieler ein – so lautet Darcys Grundsatz, als sie einen Job bei den Miami Gators bekommt. Traumatisiert von ihrer Vergangenheit hält sich die Single-Mom von den Profisportlern lieber fern. Als sie dann auch noch auf den Quarterback Aeron Ward trifft, sieht sie sich in all ihren Vorurteilen bestätigt. Aeron zeigt sich aller Welt gegenüber arrogant, abweisend und eiskalt. Dann jedoch bewahrt er Darcys kleine Tochter vor einem Unfall und sie erkennt, dass in der Brust des tätowierten Sportstars doch ein Herz schlagen muss.

Never fall in love. That was my motto, and I was sticking to it. Having my heart broken once was enough, and I never wanted to do it again. He was supposed to be a one-night stand, the only thing I do. One rule shouldn't be so hard to follow, but then I went back for seconds, then thirds. After that, I lost count of the number of times I lost myself in his arms. When I wasn't paying attention, my guard slipped.

After I’m arrested for throwing a raucous party, my hockey team says I have an image problem. And I need to fix it, stat. Charity work? Check. Haircut? Sure. But I draw the line at hiring my neighbor to style me. In the first place “style” shouldn’t be a verb. And I’m tired of people who’d judge me on appearances. Vera and I don’t see eye to eye on anything. She wants me to try on clothes, while I just want to remove hers. She's distractingly pretty, with soulful eyes and a sinful mouth that likes to argue with me.

Sometimes I wonder what my hockey career is worth. Blood, sweat, and tears, sure. But losing Ash? I can't.

Questo delizioso racconto lungo di Edmondo De Amicis, ci offre un quadro tutto diverso dall’idea che possiamo esserci fatta dall’autore del libro Cuore. La storia, che si snoda tra personaggi descritti e tratteggiati da un bonario senso umoristico, ci porta nel mondo delle insegnanti e dell’ entusiasmo per la neo materia dell’educazione fisica che si stava diffondendo in quel periodo nella scuola italiana, anch’essa ai primi passi. Cornice musicale di Kevin Mac Leod.
