I didn’t expect to marry anyone so soon, especially not the cocky star quarterback I can’t stand. But when my work visa expires the same day Jason and I are caught looking a little too much like a couple… I have no choice but to pretend this fake marriage is real. Jason needs good publicity, and I need to stay in the U.S., so we’re stuck together. Except, Jason isn’t acting like he’s stuck. He’s playing the doting husband a little too well. The more time I spend with him, the more I begin to question if my opinions of him have been wrong this whole time

Kai Yamaki, star pitcher of the Vancouver Tridents has a secret... But all will be revealed, and hearts will be on the line in the final Vancouver Tridents story.

Cord Spellman might be everyone's Prince Charming, but I'm only his fake Cinderella. That's why Cord's offer is perfect. The hot hockey star has playoffs coming up. He doesn't have time for girls, especially his cheating ex who's determined to get back together with him. He needs to focus on his game, so he asks me to divert the attention—as his fake girlfriend.

The Trouble With Valentine's Day? It just plain stinks! Kate Hamilton should know. Dumped by her boyfriend, burnt out by her job, she's returned to Gospel, Idaho, where a Mountain Momma Crafters' original poetry reading is about as good as it gets on a Friday night. Then her first attempted seduction of a hunky stranger is completely rejected. So much for her self-esteem!

Tyler Griffin is gorgeous, ruthless, and arrogant. He’s also one of the best hockey players in the National Hockey League. Not known to be a fighter on the ice, he has no problem dropping the gloves at the same time. The sweet side of Tyler: he has a twin sister that he would do anything for, including disregarding any rules if they mean he can’t protect who he loves.

He’s my mortal enemy and one of the hottest NHL players in the league, but I have no interest in hockey players… well, not anymore. And Lake Powers is no exception. Now I'm stuck sleeping under the same roof of this picturesque mountain mansion and I have to deliver what I set out to do... turn Lake into America's Sweetheart with this charity event. I won't allow myself to get distracted by the man the puck bunnies refer to as "Magic Stick".

Picture this: You just won the Super Bowl. You’re out on the town celebrating with your teammates and best friends. And the cherry on top? You meet the sexiest woman you’ve ever seen. Best. Night. Ever. That is until things get going and you discover you’re suffering from a first-ever case of...performance issues. Before you can even get a fix on your problem, poof, she’s gone, and that’s the end of that.

After a series of relationships where I've been made to feel inadequate because of my asexuality, I've made the sole focus of my life my coaching career. I love hockey—the chill of the ice, the fast-paced, high-stress game. I love the fans and the atmosphere. The energy. Now that I'm coaching in the NHL, I feel a sense of serenity and comfort with life. All that's left is to get my team to the Stanley Cup. The frustration that my boys feel echoes through me, and after one of the most horrible plays I've ever witnessed, I turn my back on the ice—only to catch his eyes.

When I find Rowan Taylor's infant daughter abandoned outside the hospital I work at, both of our lives are instantly flipped upside down. I'm only in Aston until my travel nurse assignment is up in a few weeks, but when I realize the star goalie needs my help, I can't seem to walk away from him. Even though his daughter was abandoned, he finds himself having to prove to the courts that he can provide a stable life for her . . . and to help his case, he convinces me to pretend to be his fiancée. It's the perfect plan to make him look like the family man he needs to be to get custody.

Izzie Bennet has a problem, and his name is Jackson Darcy, the Miami Lions captain, and the best man at her sister’s wedding. He believes Izzie’s sister is a gold digger who’s only marrying the awkward goalie for his money. Darcy is determined to save his best friend. Izzie is hellbent on telling him to shove his condescending attitude where the sun don’t shine. But when disaster strikes and Darcy swoops in to save the day, she begins to see him in a different light. Can she look past all the awful things he’s done and accept that maybe he’s not as bad as she thought?

After a heartbreaking loss, Mark O'Neil finds himself back where it all started—Lavendale. With a great push from his family and friends, he makes an appearance at All-Star weekend, where he finds himself reevaluating his life. His list of things to do: regroup, spend time with his boys, and land a contract with the Lavendale Knights. Saving a soft-spoken beauty wasn't on his agenda. When they collide, he is unable to see anything other than her.

She's been falling for him for years from a distance. Kodie Rivers. Hockey god. Single dad. And thanks to my father—his coach—he's completely off-limits. But that only makes him more irresistible. I know better than to think there's a future with a man like him. His priorities are clear: his daughter and his career. No room for complications. No space for me. But after years of watching him from the sidelines, I'm done just looking. I want one night. One little taste to quiet the wild fantasies about the man I can't have.

Being hired as the PR representative for the hockey team I’ve always been a fan of, should be a dream come true, especially because my old crush plays for them. My suggestion to save Briggs's career is solid… have him fake date someone wholesome who can change his image. That’s when my big mouth gets in the way and I admit to being the-girl-next-door. Now… my boss is offering me the promotion of a lifetime, but it comes with strings… Fake date Briggs Conley!

Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s football coach. He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually flexed. He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt your… everything. I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in his younger siblings’ weddings). Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length.

It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me. Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Good-bye Denial Town, hello Confusionville. When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don't expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him. He can't be more opposite than me. He's smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi - something I've never heard of. Yet I can't deny something's there.

Clare Johnson’s job is handling PR for the Dallas Stampede—not getting tangled up with one of the players. But when Mitchell Drake—charming forward, fan favorite, and very off-limits—asks her to pose as his girlfriend for one week in small-town Minnesota, she reluctantly agrees. What’s the worst that could happen?

Finding out my ex-fiance is the best man at my cousin's wedding is the cherry on top of my problems. I can't turn up alone, so finding a fake boyfriend is the only option. My relationship with Jacob isn't supposed to be real, but he gets me in a way nobody ever has and now I'm questioning everything. After nearly two decades in the NHL, retirement is nearing and I have no idea who I am outside of hockey. I need to focus on winning one last Cup, not falling in love.

The man was supposed to remain a stranger. A fond memory of a night I'll never forget. Instead, I'm mortified to learn that my dirty little secret is now the new owner of the New York Monarchs, making him my boss. I tell myself I can handle this new development. I didn't become the first female general manager in Major League Baseball without knowing how to handle a curveball. I make trades and close deals better than any other GM in the league. But when the arrogant billionaire offers me a contract I can't refuse, it seems like I've earned myself another fancy, although temporary title: wife.

Hockey has always been my sole focus, getting to the playoffs, winning the Stanley Cup—that’s my number one goal. I won’t let the fact that I’ve just been traded to a new team derail my future. Nor will the daughter of the so-called King of Canada, aka my new boss. Aliyah, the gorgeous, feisty brunette who’s just been assigned as my official “babysitter.” Although, when you're trapped in a room with a temptation like her, there’s only so much restraint one man can have.

I’m a survivor. A fighter down to my blood. I need the release that comes when I step in that octagon, I crave it. I spent too long being beat down and broken in every sense of the word, and I almost didn’t make it. Fighting saved me though, and then I saved myself. When I am offered a full ride scholarship to a college in the middle of nowhere Alabama over 2000 miles away, I grab the chance with both hands and run like hell.
