Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why. When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.

To ensure my body parts stay intact, I only need to follow one simple rule: don't touch my captain's little sister.

Can true love come from a one-night stand? I was naive enough to believe it could. But the truth is that Jacob is leading a double life. He was just taking advantage of me, and now I'm expecting his child…. Some people have everything: a husband, a family, a great career, a big house. I have none of that. Frustrated and lonely, I dive into the nightlife and meet the mysterious Jacob, who seduces me over a game of poker. There's a sizzle between us, and the evening ends in his hotel suite...

The last thing I need is to get involved with someone who is down on their luck. Besides, I need to figure out this whole parenting thing. Not winning over Stevie.

My twin and I knew we were going home to strangers who would be living in our house. I tried to prepare myself, telling myself to be kind and polite. But what I wasn't prepared for was… her. Bellamy Clark. With her long, fiery red hair and the freckles that I couldn't stop staring at, her curious green eyes felt like they were peering straight into my soul. The first time I saw her, I had to remind myself to breathe. Within hours of being under the same roof, I found myself wanting to run, though not for reasons I was willing to admit.

No matter what, I'm not getting outplayed.

Er ist der perfekte Kandidat für meine Liste der noch unerfüllten Wünsche – solange nur niemand davon erfährt. Cooper Als ambitionierter College-Eishockeyspieler laufen mir die Puck-Bunnies normalerweise nur so hinterher. Momentan habe ich allerdings eine längere Durststrecke hinter mir, die sich langsam wie ein Fluch anfühlt.

Coach Jones made it clear to all of us—no dating his daughter. As much as I hate being told what to do, I value my life enough not to get involved. Except Nylah's one feisty chick, and there's something about her sharp-witted comebacks that are kind of addictive. I'd be a fool to mess around with her.

Garrett, Starspieler der Vancouver Vipers, beherrscht das Eishockeyfeld, als wäre es sein Eigentum. Und inzwischen auch meine Gedanken und mein Herz.

One that he's sure he can win. Don't worry; he underestimates my own dedication to winning. Unfortunately for me, I accidentally signed on to work at his company (yes, yes, it's a loooong story). Kingston is my new boss. But I'm nothing if not efficient. I'll be an expert at my job all while dutifully ignoring my boss and his ability to lean on door frames.

Hayes Carver has the bad-boy reputation down to go with his scoring records and good looks. Everything changed after the game that destroyed his image and painted him as a dirty player.

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.
