Offside

Nash Richards was my first everything. First boyfriend, first time, first love. First heartbreak, too. In a former life, I used to religiously attend Lakeside U's hockey games. Then my ex-who-shall-not-be-named-the team's top defensive enforcer-cross-checked my heart into the boards, and I haven't set foot in that arena since. But when fate conspires against me, I'm assigned to complete my senior athletic training internship with Nash's team, and forced to work closely with the only guy I've ever loved. You know, the one who skated out of my life without looking back. After what happened last time, I know better than to fall for him again. Not to mention, there's a strict no-fraternization policy between trainers and their athletes. Problem is, our chemistry is hotter than ever-and he's determined to win me back. Before we know it, the boundaries begin to blur until we can't see them anymore. But with so much on the line, I'm risking a lot more than just my heart this time. * Nash and Violet's story is a steamy, second-chance sports romance with a grumpy, overprotective hero, angst, and a slow burn that turns sizzling. THE ENFORCER is Book 1 of the Lakeside University Hockey series, a series of standalone high-heat college hockey romances centering around four roommates. There are no cliffhangers, and all of the books end with a happily ever after.

The number one unwritten rule of hockey? Don't date the coach's daughter.

When I learn that the gorgeous chick I keep seeing around campus is Coach Ward's daughter, I make a point to stay far, far away. Her father knows a few too many of my past sins, and the last thing he'd want is a guy like me within ten feet of his only daughter.

My strategy works... until I start flunking calc, and Luna Ward is assigned as my tutor.

Brunette, brilliant, and covered in tattoos. Luna is one hundred percent my type, and one hundred percent off limits. But after one moment of weakness changes everything, there's no more pretending—and there's no going back.

Landing in the penalty box is the least of my worries. I have everything on the line, and this is a shot I can't afford to miss

On Tilt

Dangle

"After my boyfriend of two years unceremoniously dumps me on my twenty-first birthday, my friends drag me to a trendy new nightclub to drown my sorrows. Several drinks later, I spot the perfect rebound standing next to the bar: Chase Carter, my ex's worst enemy. A notorious antagonizer, Chase is cocky, smart-mouthed... and undeniably hot. Even better, he's rumored to be impressively skilled at more than just hockey. What better way to move on? Unfortunately, my plan falls apart after I have one cocktail too many and throw up all over Chase's shoes. Following a night of him taking care of me while I'm at my worst, I'm certain he'll never want to see me again. But the next time our schools face off, he finds me in the crowd after the game--and when we fake a kiss in front of my ex, the sparks that fly are real. Before I know it, we're having 'study dates' and he's taking me out for a do-over birthday celebration. Beneath his brash exterior, he's protective and sweet, as well as generous in every sense of the word. The only problem? We're caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena. My brother hates him, my friends don't approve, and I'm being forced to choose between my loyalties and my heart. He's the last person I should fall for, but it might just be too late"

È lo sconosciuto alto e tatuato con cui ho fatto sesso ad Halloween... e ora è il mio nuovo coinquilino. Dopo un improvviso trasloco dall'altra parte del Paese, sono costretta a vivere con mio fratello e due dei suoi compagni di squadra. Non sono entusiasta di stare con tre giocatori di hockey; tuttavia, quando entro dalla porta d'ingresso con le braccia cariche di scatole, mi trovo di fronte a un altro problema. Lo sconosciuto con cui ho avuto un'avventura due mesi fa è Tyler Donohue, il portiere superstar della squadra di mio fratello. Entrambi siamo d'accordo di fingere che non sia mai successo niente, ma diventa subito chiaro che nessuno di noi può dimenticare. Prima che me ne renda conto, ci scambiamo sguardi bollenti, ci mandiamo messaggi piccanti a tutte le ore della notte e ci rubiamo baci di nascosto. Mio fratello andrebbe fuori di testa se lo sapesse, così decidiamo di mantenere segreta la situazione. Io non voglio un fidanzato e Tyler non ha tempo per una ragazza. Ma, quando il nostro accordo si trasforma in qualcosa di più profondo e significativo, comincio a vedere un lato più dolce del portiere cupo e chiuso. È gentile, protettivo e generoso nel vero senso della parola. Nonostante quello che mi sono detta il primo giorno, mi sto innamorando in fretta. Abbiamo giurato di mantenere un rapporto senza vincoli, ma i cuori sanno infrangere tutte le regole.
