Showing results for "C" in Sports

Ice dancer Piper Wyndell-Hamilton has only ever wanted one thing: a gold medal at the Winter Olympic Games. But when she and her partner are ripped off at a regular season competition, she can't hold back her emotions. She absolutely loses it, screaming that she hates figure skating and crying that the results were rigged.

Notorious heartbreaker and handsome-as-sin hockey captain, Wolfe Judd is the golden boy on campus. He could have any girl he wants...and he wants me. He sees beyond my surface. The way his stormy blue eyes watch me...I feel beautiful for the first time since my accident. Little by little, he tears down my walls, exposing a passion that leaves me breathless and a vulnerability that could leave me shattered. But all my scars aren’t on the outside, and the ones inside whisper that a guy like him will never fall for a damaged girl like me.

Exiting professional figure skating after a decade of touring, Meredith Bennett settles in Chicago to start a coaching career… and to start a life, one with a future. At her new rink, she's required to give trial lessons before taking on students. But after her first lesson with a little girl named Lucy, she gets off the ice to talk to the parents, just to get a sucker punch from the past. Because the man that Lucy just ran up to… the man that she just called "dad"… is the only guy she ever loved. And now, he's clenching his jaw and handing her a crisp $100 bill.

Rayne Weston è sicura di due cose. La prima è che l’occasione di lavorare come fisioterapista nella squadra dei Boston Celtics è quanto di più vicino a un sogno possa immaginare. La seconda è che se un imprevisto è in agguato dietro l’angolo di sicuro lei ci andrà a sbattere contro. Che tale imprevisto abbia le sembianze di TJ Thortone, stella indiscussa dell’NBA, che torna a calcare il parquet dopo due anni di lontananza per infortunio, è solo un altro scherzo del destino.

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

"Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I'll blow your mind." Monroe doesn't know why she answers the text that's obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it's because she's all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it's because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on.

Captain of his team, the privileged son of a hockey legend, Connor Kennedy is the league’s golden boy. And the one player who can always get under my skin. Our rivalry has been building for years, and when we’re forced to room together as Olympic teammates, I can feel the tension between us reach boiling point. The world might see me as hockey’s most feared enforcer, Alaska’s angriest export, but in our room each night after practice, I can’t maintain my facade.

Seasoned hockey player Camden "Hero" James has a compulsive need to help women in distress, and Anastasia Lennox is no exception. From the moment he first sees her dance he's determined to save her—and have her—even though she's hell-bent on keeping him at arm's length. Anastasia isn't sure why a gorgeous, famous NHL star wants anything to do with a damaged ballerina who can barely make ends meet. They're clearly from two different worlds. But when she suddenly has nowhere to live, she grabs the lifeline Camden throws her with both hands.

Two years ago an accident shattered Casey's world. Now, college promises a new beginning, a chance to truly breathe again and leave her past behind—with the exception of Gray Andrews. Through it all, Gray has been her lifeline, her hope for a happy future, the only guy she's ever wanted. Until she sees him.

Trapped in a life she never wanted, Sloane is subject to the whims of rich, powerful men. She survives by playing the part, but inside she feels nothing. Because having feelings is dangerous. She's managed to stay numb for so long . . . until a rookie hockey player spots her and turns her whole world upside down.

Makari Phoenix and Omiri Hayes shared an unforgettable night that eventually changed the trajectory of their future. She left that mistake and the man she shared it with in the past. However, a year later their worlds collide again and Makari has kept a secret that will turn the NFL superstar’s world upside down. That secret shares unique eyes identical to his…

Blake moved to L.A. for a fresh start and to make it big. Now she’s waiting tables while her dreams of becoming a model hover just out of reach. She already has her hands full . . . and then her past walks into the room and changes everything. “What’s your name, sunshine?” At first Blake doesn’t recognize him, but the gorgeous six-foot-four, tattooed pro-hockey player is Ari Lancaster—her first ever crush, the one who got her through the worst time in her life.

Noah Downsby has always had one goal: play professional hockey. Now that he’s finally made it, he’s determined to prove himself. And if he’s going to have the best rookie season in NHL history, he needs zero distractions. But Noah didn’t plan for Allegra—Ally—Callahan moving in with him. With her sassy smile, smart mouth, and bad habit of ‘borrowing’ his jerseys—nevermind her stupid cat who won’t stop sleeping in his bed—one thing’s for certain: Ally is officially a distraction.

Hockey winger and campus hottie, Cole Davis, might be an MVP with the ladies, but I’m not falling for a player... not with medical school on the line. With our best friends dating, our forced proximity is inevitable. That doesn’t mean I have to like it - or the way he makes me feel. Like I’m missing out and there’s more to life than sitting on the sidelines. It only takes one moment of weakness to remind me why I should have stayed away from Cole. He might be a ruthless player, but nothing about this is a game.

Pop sensation Olivia would do anything to get out from under her mother's thumb and escape the circus that has become her life, if only for a moment. Maybe that's why she says yes to a night with a sexy hockey player who manages to make her dizzy with a single look. Superstar goalie Walker "Disney" Davis might be every girl's Prince Charming, but behind the pretty-boy exterior is a man who'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants—even if it means crossing a few lines . . .

I hate Christmas. Years and years of disappointment have taught me that Christmas is the worst. I don't like the music, the food, the decorations…anything. And Lincoln Daniels, my tattooed hockey god of a husband, thinks he's going to change that… I tell him it's not going to happen.

Jace Thatcher musthave her. Ever since he laid eyes on Riley, the Tennessee Tigers' star wide receiver has been consumed by the thought of making her his—possessing her, body and soul. But Riley isn't a game to be won. She has scars that run deep, and a past that's never too far behind her. Riley's looking for a clean start when the cocky football player enters her life. His dangerously seductive grin has her feeling weak in the knees, blowing past the carefully crafted defenses she's built to keep her from making the same mistakes all over again.

I've had a crush on my best friend for as long as I can remember. He's a hockey winger who has quite a reputation with the puck bunnies, and I'm a nerdy girl trying to survive my biochemistry degree as a single mom. If science has taught me anything, it's that facts don't lie. The truth is that Ryse and I are from two completely different worlds. He's headed for the pros, and I hypothesize I'll be left behind…again.

It started out like any other Tuesday. I spent 12 hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

At twelve years old, my whole life changed in the blink of an eye. I not only lost both of my parents but was also forced to uproot my life to live with my aunt and uncle, leaving behind the best friend I ever had. When a chance encounter in an elevator during championship week brings her back into my arms, I know I can't let her go again. I may not have long to do it, but I need to find a way to show Bailey Hart how much I've missed her and make her mine for good.
