Nothing gets by me. Nothing gets to me. On the field, or off. Until I meet Harper. One taste of her, and she brings me to my knees. I'll do whatever it takes to win her. She's brilliant, she's beautiful, and she's so reserved, she becomes the challenge I have to win.

When Kaiden Hart, the captain of the Charleston Coyotes hockey team, comes to my aid in an emergency, it's the first time I've seen him since I was a young girl. And boy, have the years been kind to him. When he invites me out to dinner, accepting seems like the polite thing to do. At least that's what I tell myself. How else can I justify wanting to be near my older sister's ex-boyfriend? It couldn't have anything to do with his piercing blue eyes and kissable lips. Who cares if he's got chiseled abs and a rear end I could bounce a quarter off of?

My job as the Chicago Blizzard's addiction specialist is supposed to be simple. A drunken—and very public—bar fight means that the team needs some good PR, so I've been hired to treat the three players involved. Sure, I've never worked with professional athletes before, but they're just people like anyone else, right? For me, it's a chance to start over. New city, new career, and a permanent break from men after escaping my asshole ex. But it's not just the players' sobriety on the line—it's the entire season. No pressure!

The hot baseball player I'm forced to stay with for my best friend's wedding is off limits. Remy Winfield has more muscles than manners, and he's on a mission to get me into bed by way of the filthiest mouth I've ever wanted to kiss. He doesn't care about my longtime crush or my certainty that we're finally about to happen.

TJ Cutler's life has been anything but easy. Looking at him now, no one would guess that the successful MMA fighter and business owner was once a homeless drug addict who witnessed his father brutally murder his mother when he was just a child. But TJ knows how harsh reality can be for some, and he dedicates his life to helping those who are struggling like he once did.

I swore off all relationships after the one guy I thought was my forever decided I was no longer as important as scoring his next high. It wasn't until I was at a party at the Hockey House that the man of my dreams swept me off my feet: Phoenix Dumbrowski. I thought everything was going great . . . until my past came back to haunt me. When Micha shows up and threatens my friends, I can't help but run away to keep them safe. After being gone for over a year and missing too many important moments, I decide it's time to come home, take back my life, and fight for my man.

Some mistakes you bury. Others crawl under your skin and never let go. Jaxon Mercer was supposed to be my past. The stolen kiss. The fist that followed. The silence after. But now? He's here—cocky, dangerous, and looking at me like he already knows how this ends. I should shut him out. I should forget the way he used to make me feel. But when he's this close, breathing is hard enough, let alone thinking straight. Enemies. Ex-best friends. Rivals. Obsessions. I don't know what we are anymore. But I know I want him.

In a world where everyone has magic coursing through them, legend says magic itself craves a mate. Legend says those with opposite magics have the greatest chance of forming the unbreakable Bond it desires. A. B. Cerise is an obsessive-compulsive pop star with the ability to turn invisible. He's an out bisexual with absolutely no belief in Bonds. He has a love-bruised heart, thinks dating in the spotlight is a hassle at best and a nightmare at worst, and has no intention of going through it all over again.

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.

My friends used to tell me, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Clearly, they lied because a few months later, I found out my one-night stand was pregnant. I couldn't handle a baby. I was Griffin Rockwell, the best wide receiver the league had ever seen. But what choice did I have? My baby girl was coming whether I was ready for her or not. Brooke turned out to be an amazing woman and mother. For seven years, we were the MVP's of co-parenting - and even better friends. That all changed when tragedy struck our makeshift family....

Bear Thomsen and I both want the same thing—his grandpa's old auto shop. My dream is to rehab it into a bookstore. Bear's is to tear it down to build a hockey rink. Paradise is the fresh start I'm looking for after taking leave from the police force in LA. I want to escape the big city with its big problems, and avoid a big, unwinnable fight with my commanding officer. But, if I turn in my detective badge I worked so hard to earn, it will be the toughest thing I’ve ever done. Especially because I hate walking away from a fight.

If I hear the name Chiral Hall again, it will be too soon. He is the one person at Ballad U that I can't stand and it's just my luck that my besties are dating his. Just when I think things can't get worse, I get suckered into tutoring him for the rest of the semester. Most would buckle under the pressure I'm constantly under but I've recently found a good stress reliever. When I started my Main Fan's account it was just a way to pay for my education, I wasn't expecting him.

Despite being unanimously projected to go first overall in the upcoming NHL Draft, Noah Anderson wants nothing more than to get the Draft over with so he can escape his dad's unrelenting criticism and establish himself outside the rivalry he's never tried to fuel. Alex Valencia can handle getting picked second after a guy touted as the next Gretzky—but he can't wrap his head around the fact that Noah is the one friend he can't make.

After a devastating incident ended my dance career at twenty, I uprooted my life to teach at a studio for beginners in Sandcastle Cove. I find solace in building my dream home next to my parent's vacation house on the island. But my plans aren't met with enthusiasm by their neighbor across the street, who seems perpetually annoyed by my presence. The sexy contractor lives alone in his seaside mansion, and despite his grumpy nature, I can't help but feel drawn to him like a moth to a flame.

Not so long ago, Robbie Mason had it all. But then he went and broke his own teammate's jaw, and the best defenseman in the history of the NHL hit rock bottom, hard. Offered one last chance to play on the worst team in the league, the New York Thunder, Robbie knows he has to fix his reputation in order to prove to his coaches and league officials that he's no longer the infamous bad boy of hockey.

Cami Simpson is the 'it girl'-at least until a string of terrible decisions leads to no boyfriend, no captainship of the dance team, and no fancy apartment.

I had one job in Silver Spoon Falls: make the hockey team, the Falcons, look good. My plan went off the rails when fists started flying at a local bar, and a Barney Fife lookalike took me to jail. Now, I'm stuck in my hotel room while my curvy lawyer tries to fix the problem. Except I need her to fix the other problem she created . . . the one that keeps popping up whenever she's around. She doesn't know it yet, but my job just changed. Now, my only goal is to win her heart.

Brady Summers thought there wasn't anything he wanted more than the starting quarterback spot for the New York Nighthawks. Then Talia Finch needed him to play fake boyfriend to rescue her from a persistent creep, and all he could think about was how to make the pretty brunette his.

You don't become the NFL's defensive player of the year without playing the game rough and dirty, and while I won't deny my past, I'm determined to change that narrative. But as they say, it's darkest before the dawn—and that's precisely when she steps into my storm.

Talk about a wild day. As if being summoned to the deathbed of a grandfather she didn't know existed wasn't enough, Isla Bennett meets the man of her dreams, spends an amazing day playing tourist around Nashville with him, and then finds out she's inherited the Nashville Slammers major league baseball team.

Now Isla's thrust into the spotlight, and he takes it upon himself to teach her everything he can about the game.
