Reid Durand ist nicht hier, um Freunde zu finden. Als Sohn einer Hockey-Legende hat er sich seinen Platz in der NHL hart erarbeitet. Jetzt zählt nur eins: Siege einfahren und sich beweisen. Ablenkungen? Fehlanzeige. Kein Alkohol, kein Zucker–und schon gar keine Frauen.

Auf dem Eis hat sie alles im Griff – doch in Sachen Verführung ist sie noch ein Rookie. Gut, dass ein Profi zur Stelle ist …Nach einer peinlichen Trennung und einem viralen Post, der ihn zum meistgehassten Mann im Netz macht, nimmt sich Flügelstürmer Cal Foreman eine Auszeit von Frauen. Keine Dates, keine Dramen – nur Hockey. Doch dann »überredet« ihn sein Kumpel und Rebels-Kapitän Vadim Petrov, dessen kleine Schwester Mia beim Training zu helfen. Klingt harmlos, oder?

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.

Nach einer lebensbedrohlichen Verletzung ist er zurück auf dem Eis und erobert als Verteidiger der Chicago Rebels die Herzen im Sturm. Alle lieben seine große Klappe, sein Talent auf dem Eis und sein unwiderstehliches Lächeln. Alle – außer seiner kratzbürstigen Nachbarin. Zumindest glaubt er das. 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.

Die Fans können von Levi Hunt, dem Militärveteranen, der seine Eishockeykarriere auf Eis gelegt hat, um für sein Land zu kämpfen, einfach nicht genug bekommen. Als seine neuen Bosse bei den Chicago Rebels ihm verkünden, dass er für ein Porträt mit der Presse zusammenarbeiten muss, willigt er ein – schließlich gehört es zu seiner Pflicht. Bis er herausfindet, wer die Reporterin ist: Jordan Cooke, die quirlig-fröhliche Frau mit den feuerroten Haaren und Sommersprossen.

Lauren: I might be late to the game of life, but things are finally starting to go my way. I've just started my own sports talent agency, stepped on the first rung of the property ladder, and landed myself a normal boyfriend who's about to propose. (I found the ring!) Unfortunately, I have a...

After almost a year away from hockey, Bastian Durand’s return to the game should be a triumph. Instead he’s taken down by the Chicago Rebels mascot. It can’t get worse. Or maybe it can. Because the human inside the Rowdy Rebel costume is none other than Pepper Calhoun. His friend’s sister. His coach’s daughter. And the woman Bastian has wanted for the longest time.

I might be a rookie Chicago firefighter, but I’m on top of the world. I’ve just earned my spot on Rescue Squad at legendary Engine 6, can get all the action I want both in and out of the bedroom, and am possessed of an enviable sneaker collection. Nothing can harsh my vibe except her—Cassandra Ferguson, my brother’s sister-in-law, or as I affectionately label her: the blister-in-law. Ever since I met her, she’s looked down her perky little nose at me, never mind that I’m a good foot taller.

Violet Vasquez never met her biological father, so learning he left his hockey franchise—the Chicago Rebels—to her is, well, unexpected. Violet is determined to make the most of this sudden opportunity. Except dear old dad set conditions that require she takes part in actually running the team with the half-sisters she barely knows. Working with these two strangers and overseeing a band of hockey-playing lugs is not on her agenda . . . until she lays eyes on the Rebels captain and knows she has to have him.

Dante Moretti has just landed his dream job: GM of the Chicago Rebels. And screw the haters who think there should be an asterisk next to his name because he's the first out managing executive in pro hockey. He's earned the right to be here, and nothing will topple him off that perch—especially not an incredibly inconvenient attraction to his star defenseman, Cade "Alamo" Burnett. Cade has always been careful to keep his own desires on the down low, but his hot Italian boss proves to be a temptation he can't resist. Sure, they both have so much to lose, but no one will ever know.

At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute... Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much. A year later, my life is back on track and I’m a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6.

Firefighter Gage Simpson has it all: the job of his dreams, the family of his heart, and no shortage of hot guys lining up to share his bed. "Fun and easy" is his motto—and it's kept him sunny through a painful upbringing and steered him away from trouble. But when trouble comes knocking in the form of a sexy, scarred, tattooed chef with a harrowing past and zero communication skills, Gage can't help but be drawn to the flame.

When the new general manager of the Chicago Rebels tasks Tara Becker with faking it with one of his players to help clean up the naughty jock's act, she's all over it. She'll make that misbehaving hunk of muscle look good and get her dream guy into the bargain. New Rebels GM Hale Fitzpatrick thinks ditzy blonde and wannabe WAG Tara is the perfect solution to his PR problem—until she isn't. Soon Fitz realizes that maybe he doesn't have control of the strings after all...especially when he starts to fall for his pretty little puppet.

Running an engine crew in the Chicago Fire Department is my dream job, and between that, my awesome kid, and my nosey sister, I lead a pretty great life. Bruised and burned by my marriage, I don’t have time for dating or drama, but I always have time for pie. And when I share a slice of cherry with a sweet redhead, followed by the hottest, dirtiest, most pulse-pounding kiss of my life, I start to rethink the possibilities. Until that woman walks into my firehouse and upends my well-ordered world.

Olivia Kane's wedding day has just imploded spectacularly. Shots lined up at the bar? Bring it. Hot stranger on the hook? Come on down.
