Buying my first house was supposed to be exciting. And it is… until I meet my next-door neighbor. Meyer West. He’s grumpy, rude, and always stomping around like he has a personal vendetta against the world. I’m determined to ignore him, just like he’s been ignoring me. That is until I get set up on a blind date—with none other than Mr. Grumpy himself.

I would never be caught dead in a place like this. Not normally, anyway, but tonight I'm desperate. My curvy little assistant seems to have put herself up for auction, and there's no way in hell that I'm letting another man win her. Not when she's meant to be mine.

Three swoony hockey players. Three fierce heroines. One unforgettable team. Welcome to Maple Creek, where the ice is cold, but the chemistry is scorching. This small-town hockey series follows the Maple Creek Thunder as they battle on the ice—and fall hard off it. With fake dates, forbidden secrets, and more than a few broken rules, these men are about to learn that the biggest games aren’t always played in the arena.

I’ve been in love with Foster for as long as I can remember. Tall, brooding, and fiercely protective—he’s always been the one. But to him, I’ve always just been his kid sister’s best friend. Until everything changes. I’m finally eighteen, and the second our eyes meet, something shifts. Suddenly, he’s looking at me like I’m his. And I know I’ve never wanted anything more. He says I’m too young, that we can’t be together, but fate doesn’t care about age or rules. And neither do I.

As captain of the Maple Creek Thunder, he’s determined to lead his team to victory after last season’s humiliating scandal. That means curfews, no drama, and absolutely no breaking the rules. And that especially means keeping his hands off Violet Hayes—his best friend’s little sister and the team’s new social media manager.

I ran. From my past. From the people who hurt me. From a system that never once protected me. I missed my court date, and now there’s a bounty on my head. I never expected a bounty hunter to track me down so fast. Or for him to be the most dangerously handsome man I’ve ever met. Cyrus is relentless, intimidating… and completely unreadable. But the moment our eyes meet, something shifts. He’s not just here to bring me in—he’s something else. Something more.

I've known that Tessa was my mate from the moment she showed up in Aspen Ridge. I haven't claimed her though. I can't. Resisting her is getting harder and harder though. Now I'm stuck in a hotel room with her. A hotel room with just one bed. When I give in and claim her, will I get my heart broken or get my happily ever after?

Getting stranded in Clearwater is a disaster for me. I have nowhere to stay, no money, and no friends. Then I see the now hiring sign and I start to get my hopes up. When I go in for my interview and meet Bishop, the grumpy giant who might just be my new boss, I think that maybe my luck is starting to turn.

I've always been a bit accident-prone, but this is getting ridiculous. After my latest trip to the emergency room, I decide that I need a change. Maybe I’ll have more luck in a small town, so I pack up and move a few hundred miles west. I step out in front of my new home and promptly fall into the arms of my new neighbor, Ryker James. When I look up into his piercing blue eyes, I lose more than just my balance. I lose my heart too.

I thought we were going to Alaska for a family vacation. Turns out it was actually for something else. My wedding. As soon as I find out that I’m meant to be marrying my parents’ insufferable friend, I start to come up with a plan. If they want me to be married then that’s what I’ll do. Just not to the man that they’ve picked out.

I needed a miracle. What I got was a cocky, late-as-hell comedian with too many jokes and a smile that could ruin lives. Sharing a cross-country road trip with Anthony Bronson wasn’t part of my five-year plan, but when a once-in-a-lifetime job interview lands on the opposite coast and my bank account laughs in my face, desperate times call for cocky measures. He’s messy where I’m meticulous. Loud where I’m quiet. And somehow, in between pit stops, comedy clubs, and too many shared hotel beds… he starts to feel like home. This was supposed to be a ride. Just a ride.

It’s just a bet… right? Blake: It all started with a harmless bet. I was bored, and there he was—Luca Wright, the new guy in town and the only other person in the diner. So, I challenged him to a race: who could finish their meal first. I won, he paid for my food, and from there, we’ve bet on pretty much everything—Who could finish the hike first, who could make a better meal, who could fit the most marshmallows in their mouths. It’s always been a fun competition between us, but this latest bet feels different, like the stakes are higher, and I’m not sure I’m ready for what comes next.

I made a mistake buying this house. It needs work, more than I am capable of, and I can’t afford to hire anyone. I figure that I’m screwed… until my neighbor offers me a deal. He’ll do the renovations, if I pretend to be his girlfriend for Thanksgiving with his family.

I need a break. I’ve spent this last year working hard to get my business off the ground and to settle into my new apartment and town. All work and no play though has made me a dull girl. Now I’m looking to change that and I know just how to do it. With Ryder Murray.

I have three problems. The first is my grumpy boss, Hendrix, making my job ten times harder. The second is Claire and her mean girl clique in town. The third problem is my biggest. See, I just lied and told everyone in town that Hendrix, and I have been secretly dating. I only did it to get Claire and her friends to stop making jokes about me being perpetually single. Now I’m just hoping that Hendrix never finds out what I did.

I’m a dog person. So, how did I wind up fostering fifteen cats? The answer to that is Winnie Mae. She runs the local animal shelter and when someone starts a fire there, I rescue her and the cats. When she told me that they had nowhere else to go, I volunteered to take them. Why would I do that? Well, because I’m in love with Winnie.

I never wanted to see Alaska. I pictured it as just a snowy wasteland. So, when my mom tells me that my stepdad booked us a trip to a remote location in Alaska for my birthday, I'm not exactly thrilled. I'm actually kind of surprised, because my mom and I aren't really close and we don't normally celebrate my birthday. I thought that maybe this trip was going to be a turning point. I have no idea just how much is going to change though
