A near-death experience wasn't on my hockey bingo card. But that's precisely what happened to me. One minute, I was skating desperately to save an older woman from danger. The next, I was falling through ice, barely able to make sense of anything until darkness greeted me. When I wake, stormy blue eyes greet me, pleading for a second chance. Those eyes belong to none other than Wyatt Cyrus, the latest NHL hockey recruit of the Saskatchewan Pincers.

The last thing I needed was to fall for Kody Goodwin, my friend's sister turned nanny. There's something about a woman who has no problem putting a man in his place. And Kody does exactly that, she doesn't take my surly attitude or the way I try to ignore her every move. My heart has other plans, there is no keeping her at arm's length. Not when I see her everywhere, the way she looks, her sweet voice, and the way she loves my daughter. Now all I need to do is prove I'm worthy of Kody's love and I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen.

Carsynn was the last thing I expected after coming home from being out of town for work. While I was gone, Gramps talked non stop about the new pretty waitress.

When the cold weather turns suddenly, it's me out on the iced over roads rescuing the woman who has me dreaming of forever.

If there's one girl out there I shouldn't mess with, it's Stormy. Everything about her screams off limits. She's too young, hurting from being screwed over, and my niece's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. But this girl is the biggest temptation I've ever had. That's anything but good—especially in the small town we live in. When her world is turned upside down on what was supposed to be her wedding day, I come to her rescue.

Josie has always been the ultimate forbidden fruit. When I first laid eyes on her, she was a tempting, wet dream that just appeared in my home. That sounds perfect, but she was there as my son's girlfriend. It also made her completely off limits. It still didn't stop me from tasting her. One touch, one taste wrapped up in a stolen moment that never should have happened marked me for life. She's my guilty secret that I've privately been obsessed with. I mean hell, it's been years and I still think about her. Now, she's back.
