Noah Downsby has always had one goal: play professional hockey. Now that he’s finally made it, he’s determined to prove himself. And if he’s going to have the best rookie season in NHL history, he needs zero distractions. But Noah didn’t plan for Allegra—Ally—Callahan moving in with him. With her sassy smile, smart mouth, and bad habit of ‘borrowing’ his jerseys—nevermind her stupid cat who won’t stop sleeping in his bed—one thing’s for certain: Ally is officially a distraction.

Trapped in a life she never wanted, Sloane is subject to the whims of rich, powerful men. She survives by playing the part, but inside she feels nothing. Because having feelings is dangerous. She's managed to stay numb for so long . . . until a rookie hockey player spots her and turns her whole world upside down.

Vor drei Jahren überlebte er den Autounfall, der seine Frau und seine Zwillinge aus seinem Leben riss – wobei »überleben« seine Gefühlslage wohl kaum treffend beschreibt. Den Profisport hinter sich lassen, sich von der Welt abschotten und sich mit Alkohol betäuben, sind seine Wege, um irgendwie weiterzumachen. Eine weitere besteht darin, Nachrichten an seine tote Frau zu schreiben, in denen er von seinem Leben ohne sie erzählt. Therapeutisch? Wohl kaum. Verrückt? Definitiv. Doch diese Nachrichten ins Nichts sind das Einzige, was ihn davon abhält, in noch dunklere Abgründe zu stürzen.

As a rookie, keeping up with the Seattle Sharks' starting trio is grueling work. Trying to pretend like the Sharks' new, totally-off-limits physical therapist doesn't make me ache? Impossible. Because she isn't just anyone. Once upon a time, Chloe was mine. Until she broke my heart. Now she's back in my life, and Coach has forbidden any of us from pursuing her. One look and my heart begs to claim her. One touch and I'm on fire.

Griffin Knox is cocky, reckless, and way too hot for his own good. He's also off-limits—not just because he's a rising football star, but because he's her brother. My best friend's. So when our study abroad program sticks me in a hotel room with him—for two entire weeks—in Mexico, I promise myself I can handle it. I was wrong. One tequila-fueled dare turns into a kiss I can't stop thinking about. Then another. And another. Suddenly, we're sneaking around like it's a game we're both too stubborn to lose.

He has everything a man could want. A lucrative hockey contract. Adoring fans. A family who loves him. But he’s about to throw it all away. Logan Tate’s name is dominating the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Instead of goals and assists, the talented young defenseman has been racking up fights and suspensions. I work with athletes who are struggling, but Logan’s different.

As a probationary firefighter, I’m doing everything I can to impress the members of my company. Knowing I’m the first in my family to be educated makes me proud, and gives me hope for the future. I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else, especially with a southern small-town breathing down my neck. One night, on a dark mountain road, I help the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life change a flat tire.

In the third book, Man Down, Gunnar has been texting the wife he lost, the one he loved beyond measure, but someone else answers back. 

Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team's coach - who has a long simmering grudge - and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend, Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

Lioness. That's the first word that comes to mind when I see the brilliant redhead selling cupcakes at the hockey arena. With the soul of an artist and the spirit of a nomad, Bea Turner is gorgeous, quirky, and refreshing. She's also my teammate's little sister. As the Tennessee Thunderbolts' Rookie, I should steer clear. I'm here to play hockey and provide much-needed financial security for my family. To do that, I need to avoid distractions.

From PR stunt to playing for keeps, she's falling for the cowboy football star 🏈 🥅 💕 Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Elle Kennedy and Stephanie Archer! It was all part of the game plan - so why are their hearts offside? Kansas Harris - Sas for short - has the potential to be the best...

Rookie forward Isaac Rivera is still finding his footing in the big leagues where he’s no longer the best player on the roster. It’s a whole new world, especially now that several of his hockey idols have become teammates. Friends, even. There’s one who’s more than a hockey idol, though…and he might end up being more than a friend.

Nach einer lebensbedrohlichen Verletzung ist er zurück auf dem Eis und erobert als Verteidiger der Chicago Rebels die Herzen im Sturm.

Doch an einem frostigen Weihnachtsabend lernt Theo, dass das Mädchen von nebenan vielleicht gar nicht so ein Grinch ist, wie er dachte …Elle Butler ist davon überzeugt, die peinlichste Person der Welt zu sein.

When Bo Bennett, rookie third baseman for the New Orleans Revelers, walks into a charity event, all he wants to do is escape.

With Spring Training coming to an end soon, the last thing he wants is a distraction. But then he sees her.

I fell for the boy next door, and then my father ripped it all away from us. The first person to catch my eye in a long time is a colleague who tells me what we just did over his desk will never happen again. Then my mother calls with news from back home. I have to head back to the small town my father forced me to leave seven years ago, knowing the boy I still love will show up, too. When I finally see him, it's clear we have unfinished business. But it doesn't matter. His life is in the Vegas spotlight now, where he plays pro football and goes home to his wife.

There is nothing better than a mocha frappe on the way to the office in the morning and Sunday spent on South Beach. I'm getting closer to the big 3-0 and finding that perfect guy is getting harder and harder even though I work for a sports agency buzzing with jocks. They are married, players, or jerks.

I'm the Rookie. That's how they want to label me. The new guy. But I'm damn good at what I do. I don't have anything to prove—except maybe to him. I've watched his career for years. So yeah, maybe I want to impress him a tiny bit. But I also can't help riling him up and ruffling his feathers. He wants me to do things his way, but I don't work like that. I may be the Rookie, but I'm about to school the Ace.

As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he's taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger. So why does one of the Suns' ice girls treat him like he's invisible?
