My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time ... right? Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom. What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford Devon? He’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.

Coach had two rules when I joined the team: Keep my name out of the press, and don't even think about touching his daughter. The first one? Easy. I'm not some rookie with a chip on my shoulder. The second one? Complicated. Emilia Lariat might just be the thing I've been missing. But this sassy little minx thinks she can hide what we are together. We'll see how easy that is when I've got her bent over every flat surface in this arena. She wants to play? That's fine. But I came to win, and not even her father will stop me.

When the lease for my new condo falls through, I'm left scrambling until superstar goalie Grant Parker offers me and my nine-year-old daughter a place to stay. Grant is known for being rigid, stoic, and completely untouchable on the ice. I'm not sure he knows what he's getting into, inviting a chaotic third-grader into his perfectly ordered mansion. Still, he insists he has the room. So I accept, telling myself it's just temporary.

NHL veteran Quinn Rhodes was supposed to be a one-time thing: just a hookup who kisses like a dream and screws like a god. Then, three weeks later, a freak accident threatens to destroy my debut NHL career before it begins. And if almost losing my spot on my team wasn't bad enough, I walk into my PT's office and find him assigned to my recovery. I can handle this, damn it. I can keep it professional. And for a short while, it seems like Quinn's willing to do the same. But it doesn't take long for the two of us to shut our mouths and let our bodies do the talking.

He’s a rulebreaker with heart. She’s a rule follower with ambition. Can teaming up on a college service project abroad bring these two opponents together? Together, they might just rewrite each other’s playbooks.

Shane Wilder: pro surfer, dream chaser, thief of my heart—and completely off-limits. It was infatuation at first sight. On our first date, he took me to watch the fireworks. It was a magical night of stolen kisses and whispered confessions under the stars. But it all came to a screeching halt when he asked the one question I’d been dreading: "How old are you, Remy?" Right guy, wrong time.

He's the troublemaking, foul-mouthed hockey goalie who always gets what he wants. She's the shy, anxiety-filled dog lover who just so happens to be the key to him playing this season. Add in striking a win-win deal that includes a fake relationship and these two college students have one complicated year ahead of them.

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.

No one seems to comprehend the pressures of playing for an NCAA college hockey team and being in the pre-med program. With the NHL draft and graduation looming, I can’t handle any distractions in my life. Discipline and focus are my two best friends. The absolute last thing I need my senior year is to be roped into some campus social media project with a sexy junior who changes majors more times than she does clothes.

What happens is that you get “make out with strangers and pee in a parking lot” drunk. Tie the knot with a guy you just met. Then *allegedly* participate in depraved group activities with him and his friends in the honeymoon suite of a five-star hotel. But that’s not even the worst part.

An unexpected trip home to Maple Falls gets even more surprising when I inadvertently become acting mayor. Add a huge crisis and a smoking hot hockey player, and I'm in over my head before I know it. I'm only here for a short time, so I will not fall for Mr. Tall, dark, and adorable. I don't care how helpful and kind he is. Long-distance never works, so the answer is no.

Brynn Nichols ist ein Rätsel, das ich nicht lösen kann. Sie ist die Zwillingsschwester meines besten Freundes und das einzige Mädchen, das meinem Charme nicht erliegt. Ihr auf die Nerven zu gehen, ist meine Lieblingsbeschäftigung. Und das ist nicht schwer, wenn man bedenkt, wie sehr sie mich hasst. Aber als wir auf dem gleichen College landen, muss ich ihrem Bruder versprechen, auf sie aufzupassen. Ich versuche, ihr zu widerstehen, wirklich.

The first rule of handling PR for a hockey team? Never hook up with a player. That shouldn’t be a problem since the last man on earth I want to give an image makeover to is our goalie. He’s infuriatingly hot, famously grumpy and lives to spar with me after every game. But shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I desperately need, so I grit my teeth and do my job. No matter how hard he makes it (especially with that sexy smirk and cool blue eyes.)

Ever since I can remember, I've always played it safe. I didn't take chances. I'm the quintessential good girl of the Banks family. At least, I was until Linc Kincaid walked into my life. Now I'm doing things I never thought I'd do. Getting drunk. Singing at karaoke bars. Kissing hot-as-sin football players for the world to see. One minute, I'm a shy nurse whose biggest problem is that her ex-boyfriend is back in town. Next, I'm fake-dating the bad boy of the Nashville Fury. Because yeah… that happened.

Once again I bang on the connecting door to my dorm room, trying to be heard over the blaring music coming from the other side. My bestie should be living in that room, but no, she transferred to be with her boyfriend and now I'm stuck sharing a wall with stupidly hot track star, Cal Chase. My friends say I'm lucky, but his mere presence annoys me, along with his late-night music and the constant gaggle of giggly girls who visit. I'm the only one who can see right through that patented Cal Charm. He's just another player and I'm not game.

Performed in duet by Teddy Hamilton & Brooke Bloomingdale! Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny. Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious… and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced. Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions. I live in his house.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Rowan Andrews is the unexpected darling of the Denver Snow and Ice Games. Luge has never captured the American public's imagination as much as figure skating or even hockey, but her outsized personality and dare-devil ways have got everyone's eyes glued to the track. Including a certain chart-topping heartthrob. Zane Rivera is the lead singer of License to Game, the hottest band in the country. When Zane finds out Rowan Andrews has had some complimentary things to say about him, he arranges to meet her while he's in Denver enjoying the games

Ella Jones knows what to expect from the long, hard winters in the northern reaches of Maine. Mostly boredom and monotony, broken up with a bit of skiing or quality time spent with her family. Which leaves her utterly unprepared for the arrival of Benjamin Kakoa, an ex-football star turned advocate in need of a break from fame and notoriety. For Ella, it's crush at first sight. But with a rocky past and an uncertain future, Ben's walls are tougher to tear down than she ever could have imagined.

Falling for a famous hockey player? I would have laughed at you. I was trapped in a marriage-caged with cruelty. I wasn’t ever going to be free. Until I found a way to escape. Before him, I thought love was a nightmare. Now I dared to dream.
