Journalist Maven King lands an opportunity of a lifetime when she is assigned to get up close and personal with the Tampa Bay Ospreys' new shiny hockey player. Too bad that Maven has already met Vince at an all-star gala—and they were at each other's throats the entire time. Tampa's hotshot rookie is a rich, cocky playboy—a brand Maven is all too familiar with, and one she's determined to never be around again. But Vince, with his messy brown hair and heated hazel eyes, gets under Maven's skin like no one else, and it isn't long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs.

An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season—set in the same universe as We Could...

Kaiden Thatcher ha tutto ciò che ha sempre desiderato. Una laurea. Una ragazza. Un futuro nell'NFL. Allora perché ha la sensazione che tutto potrebbe sfuggirgli di mano, da un momento all'altro? Lily Ford, negli ultimi quattro anni, ha lavorato duramente per superare le sue paure. I dubbi. L'ansia paralizzante. Il futuro che desidera per sé e per l'amore della sua vita. Allora perché guardare Kaiden andare al training camp di football sembra una prova che potrebbe non superare?

I know her as the unconscious girl I found bleeding out on the locker room floor. I got her help. I saved her life. The next time I see her, she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with me. Too bad. I didn't go through the trouble of saving her life just for her to throw it away again. She doesn't know it yet but I'm about to be her new best friend.

Pretending to be a celebrity billionaire's fake fiancée is anything but simple, especially when the man is my boss, Nate Crawford. He's fifteen years older than me. One of the hottest actor-producers in Hollywood. And my childhood celebrity crush. Or at least, he used to be—before I became his daughter's nanny and realized how demanding he could be.

Trapped in a life she never wanted, Sloane is subject to the whims of rich, powerful men. She survives by playing the part, but inside she feels nothing. Because having feelings is dangerous. She's managed to stay numb for so long . . . until a rookie hockey player spots her and turns her whole world upside down.

Grant Bergeron is Orleans University's playboy first baseman. He's charming, kind… and a tad arrogant. But underneath his party-guy demeanor, he's more than anyone sees. I needed a husband, and he strode in like prince charming, taking me up on the marriage pact from our past. One that I never imagined actually happening. Our I-dos were meant to be temporary, a walk-off wedding that benefited us both. But when he takes our vows more seriously than I expect, old feelings begin to resurface. Now we're sharing a too-small apartment, and he's everywhere.

To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out.

I'm a romance writer in a slump. All I did was tag along to a hockey game with my brother. The star player slams a guy into a wall and turns to give the crowd a thumbs-up. Just like that… a spark ignited in me. I went home and scribbled down a story idea, posting it to Instagram. The next morning, thousands of new followers and an avalanche of comments. People loved my idea. So, I followed the inspiration, bought season tickets to the Vipers games, and kept my new project a secret.

That neighbor of mine is a cute, surly ghoul whose pretty green eyes and angry scowl just make me want to rile him up even more. We've never really been buddies, despite living side by side for three years. But when he starts working at Goliaths as our IT manager, helping to bring us into a new digital age, our lives begin to become a bit more entangled. Mainly because he starts watching me each night while I… relax. So I make sure to give him a good show through my living room window.

Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine. I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter. It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions. Except our new assistant coach just walked in. And I would know her face anywhere. She’s the one I dream about.

Being a prince may seem like a fairytale, but to me, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. That’s why I’m excited when I get permission from my uncle—the king of Norway—to go undercover as a student at an American college for a year. And I’m even more ecstatic to be selected for their football team. Soccer, I mean. The only problem? Farron, the team captain, dislikes me on sight. Determined to win him over, I start a charm offensive, but nothing works. He only hates me more.

Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach—the man I've looked up to my entire life—was having an affair with my best friend—the only woman I've ever wanted—I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield: star goalie of the Boston Bolts and an all-around nice guy. Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want—a real shot with my best friend.

Nothing's more romantic than matching with the same guy every time you reluctantly download a dating app. Hotter than ever—check. Off-limits—double check. Why does the universe hate me? Cole Kincaid is unfairly irresistible and the one guy I'll never have. My brother's best friend is all grown up, but he's not here to witness my messy girl era. He's Dad's new assistant coach for Heston U's hockey team. Match me once, we'll laugh it off and never talk about it again. Match me twice, well, this is awkward. Match me three-four-five times? My resolve is only so strong.

Hockey comes first. Always has, always will. I've got a one-year contract, 365 days to prove to them I'm worth the investment—which is why I need to stay far away from the woman across the hall. We know each other quite well, but she thinks we're strangers. I need to keep it that way. The problem is she's everywhere. Across the hall, on my laptop, bartending where my team hangs out. Micky is like a loose thread that I can't stop tugging. Then, one night, she steps in to do me a favor, and all my defenses get shot to hell. Now, I'm showing her the real me, but it might not be enough for her.

She's met her match. But will the winner take all or lose everything? Marcee Ackerman's dream job as head soccer coach at Pemberton Prep is turning into a nightmare. Her new boss has given her an ultimatum win the state championship or say goodbye to her job and her girls forever. To make...

"A hilarious, sexy debut from an author who truly knows her hockey." —Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry on Shoot Your Shot "[Brown] rose to prominence on BookTok, specifically by dissecting hockey romances and what they got right or wrong." Expert source? Check...

La règle était claire : « Interdiction de le draguer ». Dommage qu'il ne suive les règles que sur la glace. La mission de Foster était simple : veiller sur Zach, le meilleur ami de son frère, et ne le draguer sous aucun prétexte. Facile, en théorie. Surtout qu'il s'est juré de rester concentré sur le hockey afin de décrocher un contrat à la NHL à la fin de ses études. Sauf que Zach, cet intello séduisant, le trouble bien plus qu'il n'aime l'admettre, et respecter les règles devient vite bien plus compliqué que prévu. Zach ne comprend pas grand-chose aux gens... et encore moins à Foster Grant.

Zehn Jahre. So lange geht die komplizierte Sache zwischen Shane Hollander und Ilya Rozanov schon. Und so lange mussten sie ihre Beziehung geheimhalten. Vor Freunden, vor der Familie … vor der NHL. Er liebt Ilya, aber fürchtet, dass ein öffentliches Coming-out alles zerstört, was sie seit Jahren so verzweifelt aufbauen und beschützen. Ilya hat genug von den Geheimnissen. Shane ist inzwischen so gut darin, seine Gefühle zu verbergen, dass Ilya sich manchmal wundert, ob sie überhaupt existieren.

Hattie Cannon’s sure Colin Jettson hates her. Colin is happy to let her believe it. It’s easier that way. That is until a summer hockey camp puts them in the same hotel. Keeping their college teams focused is one thing; keeping things civil is another. Good sportsmanship is a start, but what Hattie and Colin really need is to throw out the rulebook and play their own game.
