What if Romeo wore hockey skates, and Juliet was raised on a farm next door? As a life-long Vermonter, there are three beliefs I’ve always held true: 1. Our family farm is everything. 2. Hockey is a close second. 3. The Todds next door are our sworn enemies. But this season will test everything I stand for. I have an illicit side job that could cost me my hockey scholarship. And now Maggie Todd knows my secret. She’s waiting for the right moment to use it against me. But every time I face off against her, I learn things I shouldn’t want to know. Like how deeply her competitive streak runs, and how sexy that is. And how easy it is to make her blush... everywhere. An Adler and a Todd cannot be lovers. Breaking that rule is like pulling a pin on a grenade--everything in my life could blow up. Can we surrender to these feelings... or will our families’ feud make us its next casualty?

Dauntless

All it took was a blizzard and a pair of sky-blue eyes to break me. I had one rule when I decided to rent out the ground level of my house - keep it professional.

It was impossible to keep my distance from the brooding single dad after he came to my rescue. My past is tragic with a capital T so I decide to keep it to myself for as long as I can. That way maybe Logan won't run, like everyone else. I want his touch... his love. Not his sympathy. But he's been keeping secrets of his own. The more time we spend together the more I want to confess, and I want to know what has been turning those sky-blue eyes stormy when he thinks I'm not looking.
