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.

When our fate changed and our paths crossed again, nothing prepared me for the punch to the heart when I saw him...or his anger and bitterness. He was no longer the boy I once knew but a hardened Olympic swimmer with life goals that no longer aligned with mine. All because I lied. But sometimes, hiding the truth was necessary, especially when it freed someone you loved to reach their aspirations and dreams. It’s said that time heals all wounds, but I found was that it can also create an enemy.

She's the girl next door. He's the guy who's loved her from afar. They're in for an unexpected tumble into love. For Stella Allesandro, chaos is good. She's a rising star at a leading sports publicity firm. She's known throughout the industry as the jock whisperer - the one who can tame the baddest of the bad boys in professional sports without losing her signature smile. But Cal Hartshorn is an entirely different kind of chaos.

Auch Sportler verdienen eine zweite Chance. Nick staunt nicht schlecht, als ausgerechnet Bree, die beste Freundin seiner Schwester, einen Job in seinem Stammcafé annimmt und kurz darauf auch noch in seine WG einzieht. Alles kein Problem, würde Little Miss Sunshine dem Keeper der Virginia Kings mit ihrer guten Laune nicht permanent auf die Nerven gehen. Und dann wäre da auch noch die Sache mit dem One-Night-Stand, die nicht nur für mächtig Zündstoff, sondern auch für sprühende Funken zwischen den beiden sorgt.

Und plötzlich ist es Liebe. Im Privatleben von Phoenix King läuft es gar nicht rund: Ein Gossip-Blog enthüllt die Affären des Virginia-Kings-Stürmers und drückt ihm damit endgültig den Bad-Boy-Stempel auf. Als seine Geburtstagsparty eskaliert, hat sein Vater die Nase voll. Phoenix muss sein Image geraderücken, sonst drohen ihm Konsequenzen. Kurzerhand erfindet er eine Freundin, um seinen Vater zu besänftigen. Dumm nur, dass der unangekündigt in Charlottesville auftaucht, um die Auserwählte seines Sohnes kennenzulernen.

You know that awkward moment when your agent tells you to fake date your best friend’s sister so you can get the endorsement deal of your dreams? No? Call me crazy for considering it, but why not? Daisy’s my friend, after all, and I’ve gotten quite close to her and her two awesome boys over the last few years since her douche-nozzle husband divorced her. She loves it when I flirt with her, so we could carry it off, couldn’t we?

Amelia Fox was my high school sweetheart, the girl who broke my heart and nearly ended my football career nine years ago. It was all I could do to put one foot in front of the other, much less make a comeback. But I did come back. And I’m not about to let go of everything I fought for just because my world is imploding again. When I find out I’m the father of a two-year-old boy, I’m ready to start my final season in the pros. It’s my last chance to nab the championship I promised my dad I’d win before he died. Enter Amelia: teacher, toddler whisperer, and—oh yeah—my ex-girlfriend.

After achieving the goals I set for myself, I walked away from my professional hockey career. It was a tough decision, but the right one at the time. When the Titans organization approached me about joining the team they were rebuilding following a devastating plane crash, I felt a passion for the game and a competitive spirit I hadn’t felt in years. The opportunity to make a huge difference to a lot of people spoke to me, and I accepted their offer and headed to Pittsburgh without a second thought.

He’s growly. Grumpy. Stubborn. And now, my new roommate. Walking away from my disastrous last relationship was an easy decision, but moving in with a friend-of-a-friend hockey star who’s rarely home? Not quite as simple, because Grant makes me feel all kinds of things I’m not prepared for. Protected. Desired. Unsteady.
