"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

He (was) the hottest player on the ice. She's a (struggling) sports journalist looking for her big break. Charlie Denton has been handed the most impossible assignment from her stick-in-the-mud boss: get an exclusive interview with the NHL's golden boy, Duke Harrison. The catch? She's got eight days or she'll be demoted. Fired. Kicked to the curb - no way is she letting her future rest on the broad shoulders of a goalie who is at least three seasons past his prime.

Lia, a struggling hairstylist drowning in student loans and on the brink of eviction, never expected her life to collide with Nate, a hunky hockey player fighting to keep his 12-year-old daughter, Penelope, from the clutches of his conniving ex-wife, Erin. When Erin gets Lia fired for refusing to give Penelope a haircut against her will, Nate is ridden with guilt and gratitude for protecting his daughter. He extends an invitation to a simple thank-you dinner. But what begins as a gesture of gratitude transforms into a media-fueled scandal, jeopardizing Nate's chances of securing custody.

After a disastrous relationship, my heart is closed to men—especially smoldering hot hockey players. Only problem? James Adler, star player of the New York Raptors, hasn't received the memo. He flirts with me like it's a full-time job, but I'm not about to fall for his charm—no matter how many abs he sports.

How did I become the hot hockey player's nanny? I'm glad you asked. It started with a catsuit and a debt I could never pay off. My dad stole money from lots of athletes, and I've spent years trying to make things right. There's only one last name on the list. Hockey legend Liam Locke—who hates me. Years ago, we shared a passionate night that he believes was all part of the plan to trick him. It wasn't. I fell hard for Liam that night. Truth—I'm still falling.

I don't date hockey players. Especially not my best friend's cocky, infuriating brother—the one I can't stand. But one scorching night shattered all the rules, and now, I can't stop thinking about what we started. Gio DeLuca isn't just known for his skills on the ice—he's notorious for his hot temper and bad-boy attitude that fans love to hate. He's also the kind of sizzling hot that makes you forget your own name, with a smirk that says he knows exactly what he's doing to you.

If life ran as smoothly as the engines she loved, Alexis would have a much easier time being an omega. But her life is misfiring, and all she can do is try to make the best of it. Disguised as a beta to avoid judgement over her life choices and typically masculine career aspirations, she’s living life on suppressants. When she’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime—a scholarship to her bestie’s American university, where she’ll be able to grind everyone’s perceptions about what omegas are capable of to dust—she snaps it up immediately.

Sawyer Daniels had a plan. She'd teach at the daycare and go to class until she finished her degree. Once a week, she would bartend at the strip club, Atlantis, to earn the money she needed to break free. She just had to make it until graduation, and then, with any luck she'd be out of this mess. But one night, she meets Rex Lockwood. The hot and broody man she'd been eyeing one night at work. When one thing leads to another, she ends the night in his lap where lines between work and pleasure begin to blur.

The moment I laid eyes on Aurora, I knew she was mine… That didn't stop me from screwing up our relationship, though. Now she's single again and on the cover of Sports Illustrated for the entire world to see—and I'd do anything to get her back. Anything. No more drugs or alcohol. Leave my temper on the ice. When I bump into Aurora out of the blue, it feels like destiny. She's pregnant and alone, and I'm more than willing to be the man she needs.

I never asked for the spotlight, but inheriting a pro hockey team pulls me into a world of chaos. All eyes are on me now. I’m no stranger to the world of hockey, but watching from the sidelines and calling the shots are two very different things. Especially when you’re not wanted.

Guys claim three minutes is a long time, so imagine what it means to be seven minutes older than your identical twin. We may look exactly the same—even down to our cupid’s bow lips—but our personalities couldn’t be more different. She’s foot loose and fancy free while I’m the responsible one. I’ve always been okay with that, too, but recently I’m feeling stifled by the constant pressure to be perfect. Date the perfect guy. Have the perfect job. Live in the perfect apartment. Perfection has a heavy cost. Am I willing to keep paying it?

Never fall in love with a client. Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game. The rule never bothered me. A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn't do it for me anyway. As a no-nonsense sports agent, I've seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays. Say what you will about me, I know how to handle business. The only person who pretends I'm not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager.

I moved to LA for a fresh start, determined to prove myself as the head coach of the Huskies and straighten out their hothead captain, Jackson O'Reilly. But I did the worst thing imaginable—I fell in love with supermodel Aurora Embers. Jackson's ex. Oh yeah, and I got her pregnant. Just when I think we have it all figured out and the three of us are moving toward becoming one, it all blows apart.

Now, as an adult, I do whatever I want and don't care what others think, which is what led me to camming. That led me to him. We have never met in real life. He doesn't even know my real name, but he's consumed my thoughts for years. When I'm forced to stay with the hockey player who once stood me up, I never expected him to be the man behind the screen.

Sidelined by a potentially career-ending injury, the only thing hockey player Ryan Douglas should be thinking about is his recovery. But after sharing a near-death experience with a spunky brunette, the only thing on his mind is five and a half feet of sexy sarcasm. And he’ll do whatever it takes to get her back in his bed - even if it means playing dirty. Chloe Jacobs is done with fairytales. And men. She’s kissed her share of frogs and what’s it gotten her? Dumped by text - again. The last thing she needs is a pushy, arrogant hockey player testing her resolve.

Jack Harrison's NHL dreams were shattered in a clash with coaches, leaving him playing for an Elite League team in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta. But life throws him a power play: a chance to join the Calgary Flames during an illness outbreak. Suddenly, Jack's back in the spotlight, and after scoring on one of the leagues best goalies, Canada is rallying for him to stay put.

Nachdem Scheidungsanwältin Paige den Fall des charismatischen Eishockeystars Matt übernommen hat, kämpft sie nicht nur gegen eine neue Intrige seiner Ex-Frau – sondern auch gegen ihre eigenen Gefühle. Da hilft es nicht, dass sie den Captain der Stormbreakers auf seiner Tour begleiten soll, damit sie weiterhin an seinem Fall arbeiten kann.

Zwischen Puck und Leidenschaft: Harte Checks, eine leidenschaftliche Nacht und ein Geheimnis, das Eis zum Schmelzen bringt! Ist der Eishockey-Superstar Mason bereit, sein Bad-Boy-Image aufzugeben und sich in Therapie zu begeben, damit der Coach ihn wieder spielen lässt? Schon bald geht es nicht mehr nur um Eishockey, denn seine Therapeutin ist schwanger: von ihm.

One night, one time, nothing more. That's all it was supposed to be. They'd agreed their first night together would be their only night together and Minnesota Glaciers defenseman Dylan Rylie was fine with that. Giant hickeys and claw marks on his ass had never been his style, even if the very...
