One night. That’s all I wanted: to start the new year on a good note and forget about the chaos last year brought. Enter Ryan. With his dark eyes, panty-melting smile, and sinful body, he’s the perfect distraction. When I’m left with more than just the spell-binding memories of our night together, I’m positively freaking out. Things get even more complicated when I find out how our lives are already intertwined. Will I be able to keep our connection a secret while we get to know each other, or will this whole mess blow up in my face?

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars. Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie. I got drunk. And picked up a stranger. Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place. Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is.

He's the one person I'm not allowed to fall in love with. But I can't seem to stay away. Growing up, all I heard was how bad the Hollins Family is. How the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Troy Hollins is so far off limits, he might as well be in another universe. Thankfully, our paths don't cross at school. Not until senior year–when Troy comes to me for help with his classes. Get a passing grade or lose his starting spot on the university's hockey team. I can't say yes, can I?

Hockey is my life. It's my only goal, my only escape. Everything was going according to plan. All I had to do was focus on the game, keep my head down, then get drafted into the NHL. Starting the year as the captain of FU should have made that easy, but now my attention is torn between the ice and taunting my rival's little sister, Madeline Peters. My only real solace is the mystery girl inside my phone who refuses to tell me her name. Then, one drunken knock on the wrong door brings Madeline into my bedroom.

She's lived her life to a set of rules that she's certain will guarantee success. When a wrench is thrown into the framework of her steady routine, she has to work around it or... through it. As a journalism major, good reviews mean everything to her, so when nobody wants to take over the abandoned newspaper for the college football team, she takes the opportunity by the horns. Or, the helmet, I guess?

I had a chance encounter in a dimly lit bar that led to an earth-shattering kiss with a beautiful stranger. But then the next morning my world is rocked again--when I walk inside my team captain's house and see her. Farrah Remington isn't a mysterious stranger after all—she's the little sister of my captain and best friend. A woman firmly off limits to anyone on the D.C. Eagles. Now, I have to pretend that kiss never happened. But the more I see Farrah, the hotter our chemistry burns, and the stronger our connection grows—until we can't resist each other any longer.

Nora Bailey is a mess, on and off stage. A good kind of mess. The kind of mess that kisses the first person she sees after finding her ex cheating on her. Fake dating Wes, the boy who has been annoying her since they could speak, was not in the script that she's been writing for her life. But she's a romantic. And she knows there's nothing better than a good plot twist.

This team hates me. Something about my chronic case of resting prick face and that thing with the captain when the season started. My fist, his jaw. Coach says no more “confrontational BS” or I don’t play at all. And that’s a hit my career in the NHL can’t take. So I'll keep my head down and finish out my contract. There’s just one problem. Allie. The girl from Vancouver eight months ago with the sexy, shy, and sinfully bold smile. The girl who blew my mind and then blew out of my life without giving me her number. Turns out she’s the captain’s little sister.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing. Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex. And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction. The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you. And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

The discovery of Christopher’s diary in the ruins of Foxworth Hall brings new secrets of the Dollanganger family to light in this riveting novel from V.C. Andrews, the author of Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind, both major Lifetime TV events. Christopher Dollanganger was fourteen...

Who meets their soulmate shopping for bagels in a supermarket bakery aisle? Before I moved to the small town of Silver Hills, I would have told you no one. But the second I meet Henley Ward, I’m swept away. He is everything I look for in a man: tall, strong and so handsome. Our instant attraction, spirited banter, and heated glances leave a lasting impression… Until I see him again. Like a raging tornado, he storms into the school ready to take on the teacher who has crushed his daughter’s spirit.

On the ice, college hockey star Tyler is a god, but to me, he's a remorseless devil. After shattering my heart and scarring my soul, he thinks he can arrogantly skate back into my life. I'm not fooled. He doesn't love me; he doesn't want a second chance. He wants to control me. This is all just a twisted game to him. And I know he's keeping secrets

Mistake #1: One scorching night with Jacob Walker, Chicago Blade's notorious playboy and my brother's best friend. Mistake #2: Agreeing to be his fake fiancé to save his career. Mistake #3: Falling for the man who doesn't know he's about to become our baby's daddy. Jacob has a body forged in steel and a smile that can melt the ice… he's every woman's fantasy. I'm the team's new strait-laced PR executive tasked with cleaning up his image... while hiding my growing secret. Whenever he holds me close for the cameras, it feels less like pretend.

Riding shotgun to face my boyfriend wasn't exactly on my bingo card... Especially when the man behind the wheel is the one my boyfriend demanded I cut ties with. Griffin Thorne is LAU's hockey captain, my brother's best friend, and my roommate. He's also the only person I can rely on at the moment, even though he hates me after I followed through my boyfriend's...suggestion. To be fair, I get it. Why he hates me. In a way, I hate me too. But as long as this impromptu road trip stays our little secret, everything will be fine. Maybe. Hopefully.

My life imploded and now I'm halfway around the world, sleeping in my brother's spare room, and trying to get my sh*t together. A new relationship is the last thing I need. Especially one with my coach-slash-brother's protege, cocky cage fighter Devon Green. Devon's big heart, sexy swagger, and determination to coax me out of my shell appeal more than they should. I've spent years building my defenses, but every stolen moment with him tempts me to tear them down. Unfortunately, I need to keep my hands to myself unless I'm willing to risk losing my home, my job, and my family.

I'm a romance writer in a slump. All I did was tag along to a hockey game with my brother. The star player slams a guy into a wall and turns to give the crowd a thumbs-up. Just like that… a spark ignited in me. I went home and scribbled down a story idea, posting it to Instagram. The next morning, thousands of new followers and an avalanche of comments. People loved my idea. So, I followed the inspiration, bought season tickets to the Vipers games, and kept my new project a secret.

As the Maple Creek Thunder’s intense and brooding center, Declan is known for shutting down plays and shutting out people. Off the ice, he keeps his head down, avoids the spotlight, and guards his past like a well-defended goal. But when the team lands a new media deal, he's suddenly the center of attention—and under the watchful eye of Elle Martin. Elle’s assignment is simple: shadow the team, get the scoop, and help the fans fall in love with hockey’s most private players. She didn’t expect to be drawn to the one who refuses to open up.

Pretending to be the fiancée of some random guy in a bar isn't the kind of thing Aspen Fairchild would normally do. Ever.

Pro hockey player Brooks Hennessey was just taking time off, working through his grief, trying to do a good deed. But now his fake engagement has gone viral, and his publicist wants to know what he's going to do about it.

She thought her love story was over But there could be a fourth-quarter surprise In Bishop Falls, Texas, football is the religion, and Bailey Davis is the patron saint. Not only does she run the town’s central hub—the football-themed coffee shop Huddle Up—she’s also the widow of a local...
