Oskar Voyjik est un aimant à problèmes. Son dernier coup d'éclat met en péril sa carrière et oblige l'équipe à réagir. Lane Pierce, le responsable des relations publiques fraîchement engagé, doit le transformer en modèle de bonne conduite. Plus Lane tente de garder ses distances, plus Oskar brouille les pistes. Jusqu'à ce qu'une évidence s'impose : sous l'image du joueur insolent se cache un homme bien plus complexe… et bien plus irrésistible.

Dancing on bar tops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University's infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time. But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother… his biggest rival. Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky. Frustratingly sexy. Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm. With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I'm almost the next score on his stats. 

It doesn’t matter that I was the number one draft pick in the NHL or that I’m projected to be the next great generational player, because none of it is enough to impress my childhood crush back in my hometown. Sam used to mock me for being like a Disney Princess with my uncanny knack for finding animals in need. And being home in Colorado for the summer, I’m bound to run into him now that he runs the animal shelter where I used to volunteer. Where I used to try to get his attention every chance I had.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Foster: "Look out for Zach and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my ... stick...

Nothing's more romantic than matching with the same guy every time you reluctantly download a dating app. Hotter than ever—check. Off-limits—double check. Why does the universe hate me? Cole Kincaid is unfairly irresistible and the one guy I'll never have. My brother's best friend is all grown up, but he's not here to witness my messy girl era. He's Dad's new assistant coach for Heston U's hockey team. Match me once, we'll laugh it off and never talk about it again. Match me twice, well, this is awkward. Match me three-four-five times? My resolve is only so strong.

You know what’s the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type. Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I’m all grown up now. All of that changes when I ask my brother’s best friend to ref a charity match and we spend an entire week in each other’s pocket. Being close to him is torture, but for the first time since my adolescent crush started, I begin to feel hope.

Once upon a time, playing for the NHL was my dream. Then Radimir Novicov skated circles around me and made it clear I’d never be good enough. He was smart, talented, and worst of all–sexy. Every closeted guy knows that you don’t hit on your teammate, even if his gaze lingers longer than it should. All it took was one drunken close call before our friendship was in tatters, he was called up to the NHL, and I was sent for further conditioning. Playing in the NHL was off the table, so coaching became my new dream. And seventeen years later, I’m finally heading to the big time.

Quand l'amitié flirte avec l'amour, résister devient un sport de combat. Tripp a toujours souffert en silence de son amour à sens unique pour son meilleur ami, Dex. Après des années, il décide enfin de prendre ses distances pour passer à autre chose. Mais, quand Dex se sépare de sa copine, il se tourne aussitôt vers Tripp, qui est encore une fois incapable de lui dire non.

Le titre de roi du hockey du campus est en jeu, que le meilleur gagne ! Durant trois ans, Christopher Jacobs n'a vécu que pour le hockey, et ce, dans un seul but : devenir le capitaine de son équipe. Sur son chemin se dresse un seul obstacle : TJ Beckett. Beck est irresponsable et immature. Jacobs est coincé et inflexible.

Entre animosité et désir, sur la glace comme sous la couette, deux rivaux du hockey vont devoir revoir leur stratégie. Ezra Palaszczuk a tout ce dont un joueur de NHL ouvertement gay pourrait rêver : des fêtes, des mecs et du hockey. Sa vie serait parfaite sans Anton Hayes, ce joueur de l'équipe adverse qui semble lui vouer une haine inexplicable. Mais Ezra s'en moque, ou, du moins, c'est ce qu'il se plaît à croire.

Cohen: It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me. Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Goodbye Denial Town, hello Confusionville. When my path leads me down the gay dating...

Peyton Miller hat das Football-Talent seiner berühmten Väter geerbt – und den ganzen Druck gleich mit. Als ihm in seinem Abschlussjahr alles zu viel wird, sucht er Ablenkung … und findet sie ausgerechnet im Bett von Levi Vanderbilt. Ein Ausrutscher, sagen sie sich. Ein Experiment. Kein Grund, weiter darüber nachzudenken – bis Levi vier Jahre später plötzlich an Peytons Uni auftaucht. Für Levi war diese Nacht der Anfang von etwas Echtem. Für Peyton war sie ein Geheimnis, das nie ans Licht kommen darf.

He's the smooth-talking, playboy left wing who never hears no. She's the shy, brainy math genius who just so happens to be the ticket to saving his reputation. Add in a bit of ex-girlfriend drama, staging the hottest relationship of the season, and these two college students are in for one complex year ahead.

JACOBS: For the last three years, I've lived and breathed hockey with one goal: team captain. There's only one thing standing in my way. TJ Beckett. Beck is irresponsible and immature, and I've hated him since the moment we met freshman year. Yet, the coaches see something in him I obviously...

La règle était claire : « Interdiction de le draguer ». Dommage qu'il ne suive les règles que sur la glace. La mission de Foster était simple : veiller sur Zach, le meilleur ami de son frère, et ne le draguer sous aucun prétexte. Facile, en théorie. Surtout qu'il s'est juré de rester concentré sur le hockey afin de décrocher un contrat à la NHL à la fin de ses études. Sauf que Zach, cet intello séduisant, le trouble bien plus qu'il n'aime l'admettre, et respecter les règles devient vite bien plus compliqué que prévu. Zach ne comprend pas grand-chose aux gens... et encore moins à Foster Grant.

When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep. Now, he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers. That's not my biggest concern, though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.

Talia Edens größter Fehler war, ihr Herz zu verschenken. Ein Jahr, zwei Monate und elf Tage lang gehörte es Profiboxer Foster Madden. Bis an Tag 438 der Knockout für ihre Liebe kam. Denn das war der Tag, an dem Foster beschloss, ihre beste Freundin zu heiraten. Der Tag, an dem Talia sich schwor, nie wieder an diesen Mann zu denken. Doch jetzt ist Foster zurück – hier, in ihrer Heimatstadt Quincy. Im Gepäck hat er eine ganze Reihe von Entschuldigungen und Versprechen. Und damit nicht genug, nein, er bittet sie auch noch um Hilfe.

A deer. A car crash. A damaged finger and dented pride. Not how I thought my evening would go. When a handsome man with a smooth American accent comes to my rescue, I decide that the day might not be all bad. The problem is that it's not just my finger that's damaged; it's my heart as well...

Word of advice: Don't come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they're charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help. My family believes I can't be happy if I'm not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name. I really should've asked for his name.
