Scotty and Alora have a one-night stand, believing they'll never see each other again. But as luck would have it, their friends run in the same circles. He's a hockey player, she's a medical student, the love story writes itself. But Alora doesn't believe in love. Scotty is determined to try and prove it to her. Even though she's the most stubborn woman he's ever met, they can't deny the connection they have. The fate that draws them in.

Elle Van Helsing wants to start her life away from home. Constantly living under the shadow of her brother, she plans to find romance and survive on her own: even if its financially harder than she thought. Getting a job at a dive bar three doors down from her new place is the perfect solution. Well, it was, until the owner has a family emergency and asks his nephew to help out in his absence. The guy she used to have a crush on until he ruined it.

I'm known as the bad boy of hockey. The grump. The one everyone stays away from. Doesn't matter to me though. All I care about is the game. As long as I keep my head down and it doesn't affect my spot on the team, I'm good. Until it does. To fix my shining reputation, the team sets me up with Piper Fields, the happiest girl on the planet. Now my girlfriend. Scratch that—my fake girlfriend. All I have to do is pretend to like her in public and keep my distance in private. Except that's not exactly what happens . . .

Everyone thinks they know who I am. I'm the TV star who fell in love with her costar, Wesley Rich. But it wasn't real. It was a life designed to entertain millions of watchers each Monday night. A life I had no control over. Until my past came to visit. All it took was one night. One night to relive my past. One night to forget my future. With someone who'd been there all along.

I watched my parents' marriage crumble when my father chose football over family. His love for the game destroyed us. It's why I loathe it. It's also why I don't trust easily. So when I meet a handsome stranger at a hotel bar, we trade nothing but first names. I'm miles from home and I'll never see him again. Until I do. At a family event with my dad, he's there—my mystery man from weeks ago. Only now, I know who he is: a football player on my father's team. Which means I need to forget him...and his tight end.

Fulton University's newest pitcher—hates me. I shouldn't like that fact, but I do. Maybe too much. She claims I'm not her type, which is ridiculous. There's a reason they call me Levi "Sexy" Sexton . . . I'm everyone's type. And thanks to my dad, who just happens to be her softball coach, I'll get my chance to thaw out the ice queen. I'm her new tutor, so she has no choice but to spend time with me. It may be Sweater Weather, but I'll make time to show her what a god I am. On and off the ice.

Sutter Mason is sick and tired of ballplayers. And as far as she's concerned, the broken promise the last ace left her with was her final strike. The problem? Her dad is the coach of the hometown minor league team. And the hot new lefty who just joined the squad? He's her brother's new roommate. This time around, instead of falling for the player, she's going to use him to get what she wants—the perfect case study for her psychology thesis.

Until now, college has been fun and games—all girls and hockey, all the time. It's senior year, though, and I'm still undrafted and unsigned. If I plan to play professional hockey, I need to prove to my critics that I can be a leader and take my hockey game seriously. But that doesn't mean I need to get serious in my private life. As the team captain, I'm expected to compete in a campus dance competition, and I get partnered with Ivy Deveraux. She's beautiful, no-nonsense, hyper-focused on her dance career . . . everything I'm not.

Coach Elliott Swift is under pressure from all sides. His players are counting on him to return the team to championship success despite his recently graduated star players. His toxic ex-wife dogs his every move, and his sickly, aging parents require constant care. When he literally bumps into his childhood best friend, Clare, in the period product aisle of the pharmacy, everything changes. Twenty years is not enough to erase her impact on him. But she gives him the brush off as though they were never a thing.

Two for Tacos is a fun addition to the Minnesota Snow Pirates world. It's a lighthearted standalone novella to introduce the Cedar Rapids Raccoons, and give listeners who aren't ready to leave Minnesota behind a little hit of their favorite Snow Pirates.

Fresh out of college, Will Morrison finds himself at a loss. Graduating top of his class was all well and good, but with no idea of what to do next, it's all meaningless, and his recent mistakes have put him on tenuous ground with his best friend and sister. His championship hockey teammates are moving on without him, he has too many choices for what to do next, and no clue what makes his heart sing . . . Until a one night stand with a fiery red-head turns his world upside down. Quinn's everything he's not: outgoing, brave, and driven.

I swear I didn't plan to steal my brother's car. But one impulsive decision later, I'm stuck in a cabin with his best friend, a grumpy, gorgeous soccer star. Did I mention there's only one bed? I'm a small town girl with big-city dreams of seeing San Francisco—cable cars and wine bars and the Golden Gate Bridge—not getting stranded during a blizzard in a tiny mountain cabin. And definitely not fixing leaks and playing endless board games with Danny Weston, who has zero construction skills and doesn't trust mine.

The last time I saw Tim Cheltenham, he was an eighteen-year-old soccer hottie with an irresistible English accent, a painfully gorgeous face, and an enormous . . . ego. Fifteen years later, with a medical degree under my belt and a new dream job with The Strikers soccer team—his team—I'm not about to let Tim's bad attitude and grumpy scowl ruin it for me. But when my chauvinistic boss implies that he doesn't trust single women to stay on the job long-term, I panic and tell him I'm engaged.

All her life, Auren Vale wanted one thing—to be the first Omega to race in Formula One. But when her designation ruins everything, she's blacklisted from the sport she lives for. No pack. No sponsor. No chance. Now, she burns rubber online, dominating sim-racing leaderboards and unleashing her fury on trash-talking Alphas—especially one smug rival who always gives as good as he gets.

I left Baker Oaks ten years ago and swore I'd never return. So, why on earth am I sitting in the front seat of Jake Clarke's truck? The guy whose heart I broke all those years ago, the man I considered the love of my life. After a decade of successfully avoiding everything Jake, running into him at the airport was never part of the plan. And staying at his place? Definitely not in the cards. But when my job sent me—Allie Zabana—on a six-month assignment near Baker Oaks, I had no choice but to go.

Blair Adams's dreams are finally coming true–well, almost. Getting accepted into Happily Ever After University is like winning a golden ticket to guaranteed success. On top of the daunting work load, she's dodging her vain and obsessive ex-boyfriend, and working nearly full time to pay for tuition and the growing mountain of her father's bills.

Drunk-texting a grumpy soccer star? Best worst decision of my life. Especially when the player is the sinfully handsome, foul-mouthed Holden Sanders . . . my new library assistant. The benched bad boy needed an image makeover, I needed to save my job, and his star status was just what the library ordered to raise awareness for our fundraising campaign. The press can't get enough of Mr. Growly reading to kids.

Five years ago, Nalani pushed me to take an offer from Lincoln University for a full ride, giving me a better shot at playing professional hockey. She promised to make the move with me then bailed at the last minute, breaking her promise and my heart. Now she’s in my city, in my space, vying for a job in the Bears' organization, and trying to get my attention. But all I'm giving her is my back. The old saying, "Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me," rings in my head, but not as loudly as the memory of how hot we were together.

When ex-pro basketball player Mitchell Anderson sees an overturned car on the edge of a cliff during a nasty snowstorm, he knows he has only minutes to rescue the woman trapped inside. What he's not expecting is their instant attraction, or that she can deliver one hell of a pick-up line even under the most terrifying of circumstances.

The only thing colder than the ice I skate on is my heart. Especially at Christmas. We're having a horrible season and when my team is struggling, I hold myself accountable. All I want to do is work harder on the ice. I definitely don't need Felicity Roarke, the team's Community Outreach director, distracting me. But there she is, handing out candy canes and decorating our locker room like a rabid, little Christmas elf. A very attractive, unintentionally sexy elf.
