Finding out those closest to me don’t see me as the great guy I think I am not only kicks me in the gut, it makes me question everything. Until that happened, I didn’t think I had many regrets in my life. Now, I have nothing but regrets. And when my NHL team is bought out, and the new owner makes his presence known, my existential crisis kicks up a notch. Because he might be my biggest regret of all. Parker Duchene. I made his life a living hell in high school, and now he’s inserting himself into my career to repay the favor.

Faye St. James has only ever been my shy, reclusive next-door neighbor. Until her house burns down and I find out that it’s not just her home that catches fire. Underneath all that shy is a woman who’s smart and passionate and…everything I’ve ever wanted. But my life is complicated. I’m on the road for half the year playing with the Grizzlies and I have an ex-wife who just won’t go away. Clearly, I’m in no position to fall in love. Only…my heart seems to have a different plan. One that means never letting Faye go.

Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to realize you're needed somewhere, and in that moment, your entire life changes. Felton has so many broken pieces that he can barely breathe. But that's okay. I'm going to show this man what love is. If he doesn't have the capacity to protect himself, I'll do it for him. The abuse ends now.

I have fought. I have bled. I have wreaked havoc for my family. Anyone who threatened us, tried to break us, I broke them instead. Then, there was peace. Marriage. Children. Life was good. Life was great. Until my phone rang one night. Retired, I was no longer in the NFL. We'd recently moved back to Fallen Crest. So I should’ve known. I should’ve remembered. There is no peace in Fallen Crest. War wasn’t coming. It was already here.

I will never take a single day for granted again. Despite everything, I’m still here. I’m still breathing. And I’m not going anywhere. Even though 16 years have passed, my heart still belongs to Matthew Caldwell. And I think it’s about time we start our forever.

Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league's fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury - and to play alongside his big brother, Max - is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most...er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.

Cosmetic tattoo artist Orla Stewart doesn't do anything in half measures. She went from being the ultimate party animal to living a life that's ridiculously straight and narrow. Turns out, cancer can change a girl. A lot. Adios to delicious cheeses, boozy dance parties, and easy men. Hel-lo to celibacy and a sweet house sitting gig with a massive pool. Until one very hot, very unwelcome intruder turns things upside down.

You don't become the NFL's defensive player of the year without playing the game rough and dirty, and while I won't deny my past, I'm determined to change that narrative. But as they say, it's darkest before the dawn—and that's precisely when she steps into my storm.

Theodore Edward Sims was supposed to be my hot summer hookup, a stranger I slept with in Hawaii. Now, he’s my stepbrother’s new hockey teammate. When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification. He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down. Turns out, he’s just like my ex. A liar.

One moment in time, one freak accident, and my entire hockey career was over. Two years have passed since my injury, and I am still mentally struggling with this loss. Mad at the world and everyone in it, I sought solace at my parents' lake house for the summer. It was supposed to be somewhere for me to be alone and heal. When London Hayes walks back into my life, the universe has different plans. I need to find a way to derail them because I refuse to drag her down with me.

Yeah, she's my buddy's little sister and every kind of off limits. She's frustrating, infuriating, chaos in motion. And she's my new roommate. There's no defense against this girl.

Ich kenne Dylan King schon seit Jahren. Nun sind wir beide hinter demselben Deal her: die Footballmannschaft Boston Rangers zu kaufen. Wir sollten versuchen, uns gegenseitig auszustechen, statt uns näher zu kommen... Eigentlich sind wir alte Freunde. Doch als wir uns ausgerechnet auf einer Hochzeit wiedertreffen, landen wir miteinander im Bett. Das hat natürlich nichts Freundschaftliches an sich. Nichtsdestotrotz hätte ich nicht damit gerechnet, dass Dylan mir in den Urlaub hinterherreist, um mir klarzumachen, dass er mehr will. Mich. Für immer.
