This trip to Greece was supposed to be simple—play the part of the perfect boyfriend, soak up the sun, and help my best friend's billionaire boss survive his family's relentless questions. I thought he would only be my ticket out of New York and away from the man whose dangerous secrets I stole. But nothing about Percy Davenport is simple. He's a genius with a yacht and a private jet but can't handle turbulence or, apparently, telling his mother no.

People say there's a fine line between love and hate. If you ask Grady Armstrong, the line's as obvious as the one across the middle of a hockey rink. So he can't explain why he doesn't walk away when his Grindr hookup—a guy who accused him of impersonating himself—turns out to be Max Lockhart, a rival player Grady once punched in the face. Apparently, Max can goad him just as well off the ice as he can on it.

From the international bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey series comes a second happily ever after novella!

All Charles Heppel wants is a wedding. It's not much to ask now that he's set his playboy days aside for his almost-ordained fiance. He can't wait for a lovely, lazy beach honeymoon with His Holy Hotness to continue Hugo's education in the bedroom. Surely this third wedding date will be the charm and won't get cancelled, will it? After all, Hugo's followed his calling almost to the end of his path to ordination. Nothing should keep him from gaining his own parish with Charles as his husband.

After half a century of chaos, my retirement from leading the Community of Species Government has been bliss. No more hellhounds playing pranks. No more snippy demons demanding my attention. No more cajoling money from the wealthy to support the community. Just peace while I avoid my overbearing father and try to work out my next steps. Although...maybe three years of peace is enough. It might even be starting to get boring. In fact, an adolescent dragon crash-landing on my landlord's shed is just the kind of excitement I need - especially when he brings his species leader to my door.

The little witch must have cast a spell on me. The job was supposed to be easy. Get the dragon eggs and be discreet. Take care of any loose ends and leave a message for the brat prince who dared to steal from the Dragon Valley. But I never expected to feel this warmth in my chest until I laid eyes on her. I've served my queen for 20 years, helping her rise to power in this realm after escaping Faerie. I'm blood-sworn to put her above all else, but now I'm questioning everything.

Red Ridley knows he could have a happy life in Ever After, New York, waiting on tables at Mom and Pop's, making numbers add up for clients, studying business at the junior college - and maybe, just maybe having the man of his dreams, Mark Woods, the young owner of the local garage. One problem. Red's gorgeous. And no one who sees him - especially his grandmother, who's his biggest promoter - believes he won't end up on the cover of a magazine. Red doesn't want to leave Mark, but Gran has given everything to raise him, and the money he could make would give her a happy, easy life.

Ryan's laid-back attitude should be an advantage in Indianapolis. Even if he doesn't accomplish much on the ice, he can help his burned-out teammates off it. And no one needs a friend—or a hug—more than Nico Kirschbaum, the team's struggling would-be superstar. Nico doesn't appreciate that management traded for another openly gay player and told them to make friends. Maybe he doesn't know what his problem is, but he'll solve it with hard work, not by bonding with the class clown.

I've spent my whole life preparing for one moment, but on the night I'm supposed to commit myself to the Moon Coven, a murder attempt has me fleeing the safety of the only home I've ever known. I run straight past the safe cottage in the woods and right into the arms of a most unlikely hero—a ruthless pirate captain. As I board The Ruined Soul, I can't be sure if I'm a passenger or a captive, but as the tides grow more dangerous, I begin to suspect there's more to the cold-hearted captain than meets the eye. And my magic just might be the thing to help her thaw out.
