One night. Two lines. Three lives changed forever. I swore off hockey players after my ex-husband's betrayal. So, when I hooked up with a cocky stranger at a party, I had a few expectations: No strings. No repeats. Because the guy I chose was Tucker Stag—Pittsburgh Fury enforcer and my ex's teammate. Oh, and those condoms he endorses? They don't work. Now I'm facing co-parenting with a man whose entire family smothers us, and I feel my hard-won independence slipping further away with every casserole and helpful suggestion. Tucker fights hard on the ice and plays harder off it.

I finally made it to the pros, like my father before me, and I have to prove I belong here. But lately, I’ve been distracted. There’s this woman. I met her after a game in Vegas, and we got a little drunk—and married. My new wife is stunning, a cellist whose music breaks down my defenses. Amazingly, she’s moved to Pittsburgh to be with me and she even fits in with my rowdy family. Everything should be perfect.

My mother’s death shattered my family and I was left to raise my brothers. Now I run an empire and nothing will stand in my way as I expand Stag Law. And then Alice Peterson came along. The new corporate chef is supposed to give my company an edge, but Alice Peterson is anything but corporate. Wild and spicy as her food, Alice sweeps into Stag Law and drives me to distraction. I don’t like distraction. I summon all my drive and determination to resist my attraction to her, but what if I allow myself one tiny taste?

People always like me. It's kind of my thing. All the employees at my tech startup think I'm the best boss, and the community partners and investors I woo not only trust, but adore me. Everyone likes me, except him. I may have been caught off guard when I accidentally insulted AJ Trachtenberg, but I'm pulling out all the stops trying to make it up to him…and it’s not working. Offering his students a swanky field trip doesn't win him over—it only seems to make him grumpier.

A fierce almost-nurse who doesn’t have time for her annoyingly hot instructor. A team dentist who moves in with a hockey player for a fake revenge fling—and catches very real feelings. A midwife who thought one night would be enough to get a certain Crawford man out of her system. Spoiler: it wasn’t. From classrooms to locker rooms to the quirky streets of Oak Creek, these women are brilliant, busy, and absolutely not looking for love. Too bad love doesn’t follow bedside protocol.

Binge three stand-alone books in the collection—Fragile Illusion, A Stag Family Christmas, and Beautiful Game.

So I roll into my agent meeting on Monday to sign papers with the new lawyers and there she is. Working at my brother’s firm. She says she’ll get disbarred if we don’t keep things professional. But Juniper is my dream woman. Smart, athletic, fierce…I’d spend eternity in the sin bin for her. We just can’t get caught.

My life revolves around just one thing: my daughter. I don’t have the time or energy for anything else—not my foolish dream of an acting career and definitely not the annoying woman who opened a gym in the warehouse behind my garage. Piper’s a menace to society, between her loud music, hurling weights around like a shot putter, and her building that is definitely not up to code. Unfortunately, my kid thinks she’s the best thing since unlimited screen-time. It’s getting harder to avoid Piper when my daughter keeps going over there to ask about hair braids and sports teams.

It was just supposed to be a marriage on paper. Koa needed a path to citizenship and I needed the money to open Bridges and Bitters. All I've ever wanted is to take care of my sisters and run my own bar, my way. What did I care if I had a technical husband? A husband with too many dimples and more charm than he should have… So when he rolled into town after five years to deal with some paperwork, he's turned everything upside-down. Sure, Koa is charismatic and fun, but he's also a nomad. I don't have time for vacations and I don't know how to play games.

On paper, I've got it all…an amazing group of friends, a rabid fan base for my romance novels, and a sweetheart of a husband. Except, these days, his heart doesn’t seem so sweet. He also doesn’t seem to understand my career…or maybe me at all. Teddy didn’t start out as a stuffy suit. It just sort of happened, somewhere between his MBA and his big promotion and our failed attempts at starting a family. From the time we met on the soccer field, Teddy and I have been inseparable. Only Teddy hasn’t kicked a goal in a long time and he doesn't really not unhappy.
