Showing results for "King" in Sports

My life seemed pretty perfect until I turned twelve. Then everything was destroyed with a fainting spell, a doctor's visit, and a diagnosis that rocked me to my core. Now at seventeen, I am being shipped to a new country and school with no support from my father. I'm facing a tangled web of lies and truths that will test and threaten to break me, but I've never been the type to back down. The Kings of Wayward Academy set their eyes on me, and the chess game begins.

One night. That’s all I wanted: to start the new year on a good note and forget about the chaos last year brought. Enter Ryan. With his dark eyes, panty-melting smile, and sinful body, he’s the perfect distraction. When I’m left with more than just the spell-binding memories of our night together, I’m positively freaking out. Things get even more complicated when I find out how our lives are already intertwined. Will I be able to keep our connection a secret while we get to know each other, or will this whole mess blow up in my face?

I'm the unapproachable NHL captain with a reputation for chewing up reporters in interviews, forwards on the ice, and shutting down anyone who tries to get close to me. And that's how I like it—no feelings, no complications, and zero chance of reliving the grief I experienced when my wife passed away seven years ago. But sometimes the best laid plans go up in flames, and that's exactly what Collins Mackenzie does when she strolls into a bar one post-game night and gives me a taste of the cold shoulder I've bestowed on all those around me.

This man is temptation personified. He’s six feet four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days. Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out? Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends. Friends who flirt. Friends who tease. Friends who never cross that line.

I've always been a tough North Shore girl. Fighting is in my blood, survival in my DNA. But two years ago, Caden King broke me, and he has proof of it. Now he wants to blackmail me into doing a job for him. The kind that puts my chance of escaping the North Shore at risk. The kind that means betraying my own crew.

In a den of vipers, revenge is the deadliest venom. They shattered my world; now, I’ll bring down theirs. The problem? I have virtually no way to trace the puppet master. My only lead: The Vipers. An elite college hockey team that rules the ice—and the shadows beyond it. To infiltrate their secret society, I set my sights on their weakest link. Kane Davenport. The charismatic captain and the lone green flag in a nest of serpents. But too late, I realize I’ve enticed the most venomous snake.

Avi's into old-school emo bands, true crime, and cryptids. And if not many others share his interests, he's cool with that, as long as he doesn't run out of weed. But then he moves from Brooklyn to Boston with his mom, which isn't a big deal . . . until she announces she's seeing someone and he happens to have a son Avi's age. As his mom's relationship gets more serious, they all move in together, and under the same roof as his future stepbrother, Avi's never felt more out of place.

You’d think it was the perfect setup: living next door to the grumpy single dad who needs my help with his troublemaking kids—just until football season is over. Swoony stuff, right? You know who’s not swooning? Me. I’m as grumpy as he is, and I’m fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. It’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I’m not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer.

In der Bar The Black Tail lernen Tristyn und Dale sich kennen. Bereits von der ersten Sekunde an fühlt er sich zu ihr hingezogen, allerdings hat sie nur Augen für Leon. Als eine Möglichkeit, Leon näherzukommen, misslingt, bittet sie Dale um Hilfe, der er nur nachkommt, wenn er einen Gefallen bei ihr gut hat. Dass er diesen schneller einlösen muss, als gewollt, macht das hervorgerufene Gefühlschaos nicht besser. Wie lange kann er seine Gefühle für Tristyn verbergen?

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.

Fans call me the king of the water. I'm focused, driven, and, most importantly, I win. Life as a professional swimmer comes with sacrifices, but they’ve never worried me. I’m used to life with little room for anything but training, eating, and sleeping. Nothing more, nothing less. When a son I knew nothing about lands on my doorstep—and a crazy but very beautiful nanny shortly after—my life is turned upside down. Allowing any change in my life could put my goals and dreams in jeopardy, and I’ve worked too hard and too long for them.

I've been called football royalty my entire life. Born into a family that has experienced the highs and lows of the game. Constantly surrounded by football players and coaches. Now I'm following my father across the country for yet another team. I'm supposed to be spending this year finding myself, but can I do that with Brady by my side, or is he just another player?

Rund um die Uhr an seiner Seite – auf und neben dem Eis. Dumm nur, dass ich ihn einen Monat lang begleiten muss – ob beim Training, auf Partys oder morgens, wenn er halb nackt Kaffee trinkt. Zwischen uns knistert es gewaltig, und die Grenze zwischen Hass und Verlangen verschwimmt.

Griffin Knox is cocky, reckless, and way too hot for his own good. He's also off-limits—not just because he's a rising football star, but because he's her brother. My best friend's. So when our study abroad program sticks me in a hotel room with him—for two entire weeks—in Mexico, I promise myself I can handle it. I was wrong. One tequila-fueled dare turns into a kiss I can't stop thinking about. Then another. And another. Suddenly, we're sneaking around like it's a game we're both too stubborn to lose.

I swore I was done with football players. Especially my ex's teammates. But then there's Asher Knox—the star quarterback, the campus heartbreaker, and the guy whose reputation is just as legendary as his arm. He's also my ex's fraternity brother.

Als investigative Bloggerin ist es meine Aufgabe, die Wahrheit aufzudecken. Doch je näher ich ihm komme, desto stärker zieht er mich in seine Welt. Je mehr ich über ihn herausfinde, desto tiefer gerate ich in seinen Abgrund. Bis ich vor der Wahl stehe: Lasse ich ihn auffliegen – oder lasse ich mich in seine Dunkelheit ziehen?

Nachdem mein Freund sich mit einer Tussi in unserem Bett vergnügt hat, flüchte ich nach Kodiak. Als ich dort einen Job ergattere, kann ich mein Glück kaum fassen. Killian: Mein Wechsel zu den Kings of Kodiak wird die Eishockeywelt aufmischen. Garantiert. Und nicht nur das. Mein Leben wird ebenso aufgemischt. Von einem kleinen Wirbelwind, dem ich mit Haut und Haaren verfalle.

I never imagined my biggest rival would become my greatest temptation. Jackson Reed has been a thorn in my side since the day we met–always running his mouth, always itching for a fight. Our rivalry on the ice has left us bruised and bloodied countless times. When our teams end up at the same hotel for the Regional Championships, the brutal Titan gets under my skin in a whole new way. A fight turns into a chase through the woods, and when I’m caught, it ignites a forbidden fire within me that can’t be stifled.

It’s an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak? Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical. Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?

Sie will mutiger beim Daten werden, er ist das personifizierte Selbstbewusstsein. Ein Match, bei dem nichts schiefgehen kann – oder? Ruby hat die Nase voll. Sie muss es endlich schaffen, ihre Schüchternheit gegenüber Männern loszuwerden! Als sie für die Dating-Nachhilfe einen Escort engagieren will, läuft ihr ausgerechnet Griffin King über den Weg. Ihr Nachbar aus Kindheitstagen ist mittlerweile ein gefeierter Footballstar mit Playboy-Ruf. Keine Beziehung hält bei ihm länger als eine Woche, und nach dem letzten Skandal wurde ihm eine Zwangspause verordnet.
