Tate Ward is the best coach in professional hockey, a hot single dad, one of the best players of all time, and my new boss—who likes everyone but me. The players will do anything for him, the media is obsessed, and the fans still wear his jersey. Everyone's in love with handsome, authoritative Coach Tate Ward—except me, and the feeling’s mutual. To save the Vancouver Storm from being sold, though, we need to work together and win the Stanley Cup, and I can’t help but push his buttons to get under his skin. He moves me into his guest house, though, and makes me sleep in his bed.

After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I’m done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He’s an intimidatingly hot, grouchy jerk who can't stand me. The guy has a massive ego. Keeping things professional will be no problem, even when he demands I move in with him.

The best way to get back at my horrible ex? Fake date Rory Miller--my ex's rival, the top scorer in pro hockey, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player I tutored in high school. Faking it is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory’s sweet, funny, and protective. He teaches me to skate and spends way too much money on me. He sleeps in my bed and convinces me to break my just-one-time hookup rule. He kisses me like it’s real.

In public, we act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, we’re at each other’s throats. He’s competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guy’s never cracked a smile in his life. He’s jealous of my ex, he glares at my high heels, and insists he’s not attracted to me. He’s only marrying me for citizenship. Fighting with Alexei is more fun than expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous. He cooks for me and worries about my safety.

My arrogant fake fiancé? I can't stand him. Cocky and charismatic Emmett Rhodes isn't a relationship kind of guy, but now that he's running for mayor of our small town, his bachelor past is hurting the campaign. Thankfully, I'm the last woman who would ever fall for him. We're total opposites-he's a golden retriever and I'm a black cat, but he'll co-sign on my restaurant loan if I play his devoted fiancée. Between romantic dates, a prom night re-do, and visits to a secret beach, things heat up, and the line between real and ruse is lit on fire.

The best way to gain confidence after years with the wrong guy? Hayden Owens—the hottest defenseman in pro hockey, my confident best friend, and my new dating coach. He’ll teach me to be a player, but convinces me to practice with him. We’ve been friends for years, but our flirting lessons and practice kisses push the bounds of friendship. We’re roommates, but sleeping in the same bed. He buys me a toy as a favor… but helps me use it. All that relationship stuff he’s always avoided? He doesn’t seem to mind it anymore.

In my small-town bookstore, I'm surrounded by book boyfriends, but I've never had one in real life. At almost 30, I've never been in love, and my bookstore isn't breaking even. Something needs to change, and I know exactly who's going to help me: Wyatt Rhodes, the guy everyone wants. Between surfing, mortifying dates,and revamping my store, his lessons are more about drawing me out of my shell than changing me into someone new. But when we add praise-filled 'spice lessons' to the curriculum, it's clear he wants me.

The deal is simple: the grumpy guy will pay off my debt if I find him a wife. Holden Rhodes is grouchy, unfairly hot, and has hated me for years. He's the last person I'd choose to inherit an inn with. As we renovate the inn and put his dating skills to practice, though, I see a different side...

The guy who broke my heart is now an arrogant, too-hot firefighter... who's hell-bent on getting me back. This summer, I have one goal: field work. I need it to finish my PhD. I never expected Finn Rhodes to offer help. He broke my heart twelve years ago, and now that he's back in town, I want nothing to do with him. The only problem? He insists we're meant to be together. I'll pretend to date him, but actually? I'm trying to get him to dump me. Between hiking the back country and cringe-worthy dates designed to turn him off, I begin to remember why we were best friends.

Depois de ter o coração partido e o sonho de trabalhar com música dilacerado, Pippa resolveu focar numa profissão realista. Tornar-se assistente pessoal de Jamie Streicher — o goleiro de hóquei mais requisitado de Vancouver—não estava nos seus planos, mas parece um caminho certo para recuperar o controle de sua vida. Basta ser profissional, objetiva, e, acima de tudo, agir como se nunca o tivesse visto antes. Afinal, ninguém precisa saber que eles estudavam no mesmo colégio—e que ela era secretamente apaixonada por ele.

Auf dem Eis ist er der Star. Doch kann er ihr Herz zum Schmelzen bringen? Pippa hat es satt, sich das Herz brechen zu lassen. Nachdem ihr Ex auch noch ihre Musikkarriere zerstört hat, bewirbt sie sich auf die Stelle der Assistentin des Profi-Eishockeyspielers Jamie. Er ist ein mürrischer – und sehr attraktiver – Mann mit einem riesigen Ego. Und Pippas erster Schwarm aus der Highschool, der sie vollkommen vergessen zu haben scheint.

Als ausgerechnet ihr Ex Connor als neuer Spieler im Team begrüßt wird, ist sie kurz davor, alles hinzuwerfen. Die Beziehung zu ihm war ein riesiger Fehler, den sie einfach nur vergessen möchte. Auf Rory liegen die Hoffnungen des Trainers. Doch er befindet sich in einer Krise und zweifelt grundsätzlich an seiner Karriere. Gegen den Rivalen Connor empfindet er von Anfang an eine heftige Abneigung.
