I've been pretending for so long it's become normal. To the average person, I have it all… a multi-million-dollar contract to play baseball, four homes, and—if I choose—my pick of any gorgeous woman on my arm. The only problem? The one woman I want—no, need—in my life completely erased me from her memory when we were only teens.

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack". Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.) She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The troubled child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

At Windale Mountain Sheep Station there's only one rule: don't sleep with the guests. In her ten years living on the mountain, Indigo Mills has never once thought about breaking the rules. After a childhood of neglect and an adolescence that still haunts her, the opportunity to live and work on the sheep station was a lifesaver—literally—and Indy won't do anything to jeopardise her mountain family and home. That is until Carter Hendrix, the best half-back in the game of professional rugby league, turns up.

Their parents being family friends, American/English aristocrat, Blake Sharp, and Scottish playboy Alasdair Wallace were thrust together all through their childhoods. Blake thought Dair was a filthy, obnoxious, little boy bully. Dair thought Blake was a spoiled, prissy wee miss. Then Blake grew up to be a beautiful, loving woman who took care of everyone and made amazing pistachio muffins. And Dair grew up to be a protective, fun-loving, hard-living professional rugby player. In the meantime, they’d both been deeply betrayed by lovers.

I made the worst decision of my life when I left Denver three years ago. I broke his heart. I broke my family's hearts. And then I broke my own. It's taken three long years, but here I am, staring my past in the face. Only everything has changed. He isn't the boy I once knew. He's the Captain of the Denver Dragons. No longer a boy but a man—a man with a reputation made by his many achievements in the bedroom. I know I should stay away, but fate is written in the stars when it comes to Jaxon Payne.

I'm the face of the NHL. The golden boy with quick hands and a million-dollar smile the fans adore. My contract is up at the end of the season, and with playoffs starting, I have to be on my best behavior. Keep my head down and respect the press when they shove their microphones beneath my nose. This isn't my first rodeo, so it should be easy. Right?

I’m Ben Boerboom, the NHL’s favorite puck boy, and Lara's my slamming hot former bestie. She's also the friend who got away and my dirty, dirty accomplice from those two insane weeks that weren't supposed to change anything...but did. I wanted it all. Would have wrapped my forever around her finger if she'd let me. But if making bad decisions is my special skill, Lara's is making good ones...like prioritizing her career goals and the kind of security she didn’t have growing up. Hard pass on that kind of heartbreak again. So cue the bunnies. Years of bunnies.

When our fate changed and our paths crossed again, nothing prepared me for the punch to the heart when I saw him...or his anger and bitterness. He was no longer the boy I once knew but a hardened Olympic swimmer with life goals that no longer aligned with mine. All because I lied. But sometimes, hiding the truth was necessary, especially when it freed someone you loved to reach their aspirations and dreams. It’s said that time heals all wounds, but I found was that it can also create an enemy.

Schon als Leroy für das NHL-Team in Philadelphia spielte, sind wir ständig aneinandergeraten. Nach seinem Wechsel nach Boston ist es das Letzte, was ich will, ihm auch hier ständig über den Weg zu laufen. Doch natürlich passiert genau das. Leroy sieht noch besser aus als damals, und ich kann nicht leugnen, dass da etwas zwischen uns ist. Etwas, das nicht sein darf, denn nach der Katastrophe mit meinem Ex will ich nie wieder eine Beziehung führen, die in den sozialen Medien breitgetreten wird. Als Eishockeyspieler ist ihm die Aufmerksamkeit der Klatschpresse sicher.

Being the life of the party had always been easy for Emerson Greene until one fatal night five years ago that sent him into a spiral of self-destruction. A night that cost him, not only his best friend, but also the only woman he's ever loved. As a result, the bad boy of the NHL is trying to outskate the ghosts of his past and the regrets that haunt his every turn.

No wrong moves. Those were the words the first boy I ever loved whispered in my ear on graduation weekend. Naively, I believed him. Now those three little words feel like a bad omen I can’t escape. Every move I’ve made since I returned to South Chapel hurts my ex-boyfriend, Greedy. But it’s for his benefit. That’s what I tell myself. Intentionally hurting him is for the best. It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner. Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy.

Ryder Steel juega a contrarreloj. Si no tiene un contrato profesional en el bolsillo para cuando se gradúe en la universidad, tendrá que renunciar a su sueño de una carrera en el hockey sobre hielo. Por eso, el delantero del Colorado College Varsity no puede permitirse ninguna distracción. Pero entonces la misteriosa patinadora artística Bella Wynn se muda a la casa de al lado y despierta el interés del apuesto playboy con su fascinante carisma. Pero ésa nunca fue su intención.

If I hear the name Chiral Hall again, it will be too soon. He is the one person at Ballad U that I can't stand and it's just my luck that my besties are dating his. Just when I think things can't get worse, I get suckered into tutoring him for the rest of the semester. Most would buckle under the pressure I'm constantly under but I've recently found a good stress reliever. When I started my Main Fan's account it was just a way to pay for my education, I wasn't expecting him.

Scoring on the ice? Piece of cake. Scoring off it? Well, there’s a reason I’m still a virgin. I’m not entirely clueless about women, though I do tend to put my foot in my mouth around them far too often. Like I did with Scout, the donut maker I stupidly introduced myself to despite visiting her truck for years. Maybe my teammates have a reason to call me the dumb one, but I’m determined to prove them all wrong—Scout included.

Heißer Eishockeystar trifft auf kühle Eisprinzessin. Ryder Steel spielt gegen die Zeit. Wenn er bis zu seinem College-Abschluss keinen Profi-Vertrag in der Tasche hat, muss er seinen Traum von einer Eishockey-Karriere aufgeben. Deshalb kann sich der Stürmer der Colorado College Varsity keine Ablenkung erlauben. Doch dann zieht die geheimnisvolle Eiskunstläuferin Bella Wynn in das Haus nebenan und weckt mit ihrer faszinierenden Ausstrahlung das Interesse des selbstbewussten Playboys. Dabei war das nie ihre Absicht.
