Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago. Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.

Miles Cartwright had the rookie season of any player’s dreams. The San Francisco Felons made it all the way to the World Series then lost it all in game seven with him on the mound. To make matters worse, a misunderstanding has him in hot water with the law, and on a short leash with his club. Last chances are something Carmen Murphy is all too familiar with. Her goal of becoming a respected sports writer is circling the drain while she wastes her talents writing sports gossip for a trashy, but popular, blog. Getting some insight on the Miles Cartwright scandal would be great for page views.

She’d be the perfect catch if he could take his eye off the ball. Emmy Kasper knows exactly how lucky she is. In a sport with few opportunities for women at the pro level, she’s just landed her dream job as head athletic trainer for the San Francisco Felons baseball team. Screwing up is not an option.

Soccer star Lauren Vorski's body still tingles for Pete Kendrick, but he's not just any ex—he's her ex-coach, and he axed her from the World Cup. Now, she's gunning for Olympic glory to prove him wrong. Too bad their scorching affair keeps messing with her focus.

Erika Parker-Ward is living the dream—her professional soccer career is on the rise, and she's got her sights set on making the World Cup team for the US. But all of that could be over in a blink now that Erika's been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Her plan? Keep the diagnosis hush hush by paying for private medical care, but the cost is threatening to bury her alive.

Eight years ago Honey Holbrook was a spoiled, rich, wild child who didn't think twice about a wicked fling with pro hockey player Matt Heller. Even though her dad owned the team. When Matt tried to get her to quit her partying ways, their short relationship imploded. She threw herself further into her lifestyle while Matt carved out a career for himself in the NHL. Now Honey has a new job, a new home, and is staying out of the limelight. But the first day of her new job doesn't go as she expects when her boss and coworkers make it clear she's not wanted.

Pro hockey player Jase Heller isn't ready for serious. After getting out of a relationship, jumping into a new one is the last thing on his mind. But one night? Yeah. He's more than ready to raise his stick for that. Remi Buchanan is free of all her responsibilities for the first time in her life. She’s ready to blow off some steam and live a little...even if only this once. And she can't think of a crazier thing to do than a one-night stand with a man who has a smile that makes her want to lose her panties. But when one night turns into more, they may not like what they find.

Astrid Anderson Bouchard, a creative free spirit, has one last item on her birthday bucket list before she starts graduate school. She’s determined to hookup with Jesse Lambert and get over her long-standing crush once and for all. No more fantasizing about the guy who saved her very clumsy teen self from public humiliation at hockey camp. No more comparing him to every man she dates. One and done, and she can move on with her life.

Minor league umpire Alice Darling loves everything about baseball. That means hunky ball players are strictly off limits—dating one would be professional suicide. With a young daughter and a brother to care for, she can’t afford to slip up. Truth is, as a young, stupid, nineteen-year-old townie, she did once date a player. That’s how she wound up with her precious, nine-year-old daughter…and a determination to never make that mistake again.

Kyla MacIntosh was always like a little sister to Tag growing up. She followed Tag and his hockey players everywhere, trying to be one of the guys, and now she’s killing herself trying to make partner at her old-boys-club law firm. But she's not little anymore and Tag’s feelings aren't sisterly at all. Will a hot week at the lake be enough to show them that they were meant to be forever?

The Heller brothers are all heading home for the holidays in their short break in the hockey season. It should be a great family reunion since three of the four brothers are bringing their new girlfriends. But Jase and Remi just got the results of an important DNA test, and neither of them is in a mood to celebrate. Tag and Kyla also just got some surprising news that has them at odds, and Nicole's nervous about meeting the whole family when she and Logan have been together such a short time.

She didn't break my heart and I didn't break hers. Our hearts shattered at the exact same moment in time. I've loved Ella for as long as I've loved baseball. As much as I was born to play ball, I was born to love her. Our small town fairytale was written and sealed with our happily ever after. It only took one night to erase our meant to be status. A mutual decision was made. Our families agreed, two separate paths was the best decision for us to heal. Stupidly, I agreed and I left her behind. Now, two years later, I'm back for her, but I came unprepared.

Recently divorced Tina Durham is trying to be self-sufficient, but her personal-training career is floundering, her closest friends are swept up in new relationships, and her washing machine has just flooded her kitchen. It’s enough to make a girl cry. Instead, she calls a plumbing service, and Joanne “Joe Mama” Delario comes to the rescue. Joe is sweet, funny, and good at fixing things. She also sees something special in Tina and invites her to try out for the roller derby team she coaches.

I’m the crazy fun one. Pedal to the floor, balls to the wall, party all weekend guy. The guy everybody calls for laughs and a good time. And I always deliver. So, when Ainsley Winslow and I made a pact for a summer fling, I was all in. What hot-blooded college male doesn’t jump at the chance for a no-strings-attached relationship? Not this one. Then summer drew to a close, and I found myself wanting time to move slower. Ainsley Winslow is a girl of her word. When fall inevitably came, she vanished.

Logan was pretty happy with his life in California and this trade to the Minneapolis Caribou has turned his life upside down and shaken his confidence. He’s always has this deep-down fear he’ll never live up to his older brothers—their star hockey careers and now with girlfriends and family on the way. Nicole is determined to never date another hockey player. But Logan has a one man advantage...he knows what she really wants.

It doesn’t bother me if you call me a motoho. Ever since my cheating bastard of an ex-fiancé left me with an STD that rendered me infertile, I’m not looking for a relationship, but I do occasionally have an itch to scratch. With Thunder Valley Raceway nearby, there’s no shortage of motocross riders passing through town, and they’re fit, fine, and looking for a good time, not a long time. So why shouldn’t I partake once in a while? Still, I’m a little surprised Tyler Biggs was game; he’s not known as a player, unlike some riders I could name.

Fifteen years ago, Ben Warren was a wakeboarding champion: king of big air, ballsy tricks, and boned grabs. Until a career-ending injury left him broken in ways he still has no hope of fixing. Now, he takes his thrills where he can get them, and tries not to let life hurt too much. Then, Davis Fox arrives in Ben’s sporting goods store with a plan to get in touch with his estranged brother by competing in the annual wakeboarding double-up contest. The catch? He’s never ridden before. It’s crazy, but Ben’s a sucker for the guy’s sob story—and for his dimples, too—so he agrees to coach Davis.
