The NHL’s been at my door since I was 18, but I’d never leave the Swedish Hockey League—not while raising my little brother. But now he’s grown, and the Carolina Reapers show up with my greatest weakness: Langley Pierce, their new head of PR. I’ve never been able to say no to her. She’s fierce, independent, and the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. She also has a stubborn streak wider than my entire country. One comment from her smart mouth about never dating again, and I propose. No, really, I actually propose.

As the Seattle Sharks' number one Enforcer, nothing means more to me than hockey. I live and breathe the game. But when my short-temper gets me into one too many late night brawls, coach threatens to bench me if I don't clean up my act. It'll take more than me changing my nightlife habits - the media needs this bad boy to go good. Paige Turner - the gorgeous, off-limits best friend of my bro's fiancee - has the solution. About to take over as acting CEO of her family's multi-billion-dollar corporation, she'll have to sign a morality clause kissing any wild-life she wanted goodbye.

I execute many roles: owner of the NHL's Carolina Reapers, CFO of Silas Tech, and genuine fan of all things professional sports. One thing I'm not? Chaotic. I've made my billions off of structure, discipline, and very little risk. So when a friend asks if bombshell romance author Daisy Lewis can shadow me for a month while researching characters for her upcoming release, I don't hesitate to say yes. I mean, she's an author, it's ninety percent typing and quiet time, right? Wrong.

Gage McPherson was the Seattle Sharks' best Grinder, until he shattered his shoulder last season. Time heals all wounds, but the heartbroken single dad has more than his share of trust issues. The playboy only lets one girl close to his iced-over heart - his pint-sized daughter who's the center of his world. She's the only thing more important to him than hockey, and he trusts no one with her...except me.

I never thought I’d achieve my dream of playing for the NHL—not while I’m my mom’s sole caretaker. But the Carolina Reapers offer me a deal I can’t refuse: a spot on their roster and top-rated support for my mom’s battle with Parkinson’s. Balancing an NHL schedule and my mother’s care fills every minute of my day, but one glance at Scythe’s bartender, and I’m looking for ways to make time. Echo Hayes is my exact opposite: she’s wild—I’m reserved. She’s fearless—I’m careful. She’s a 1 a.m. last call, and I’m a 7 a.m. practice.

Ridiculous, but I’ve been dubbed the “pretty boy” since rookie year. Pair the looks with my multi-million-dollar career, and it’s a recipe to get used. I’ve been burned before, and it’s never happening again. Then I meet Delaney Collins—Charleston’s impossibly sexy librarian. She’s brilliant, funny, and the chemistry between us crackles every time we touch. But she doesn’t have a clue who I am. Delaney treats me like a normal person, seeing straight to the heart of me. And all it wants is her.

After a prank goes wrong, I’m sentenced to six weeks community service under none other than the sexy, rule-abiding, smart-mouthed city clerk of Sweet Water—Annabelle Clarke. Lucky for me it’s off season. Unlucky for me? I want Annabelle like I want my next breath. She’s smart, luscious, and wound-tighter than a Scottish drum. Och, I’d love to be the one to help loosen her strings. She’s made it clear that while I’m under her employment, she won’t be under me. The white-hot chemistry we can’t deny must be ignored at all costs.

I've got three months before I'll be crowned King of Elleston—all because I was born two minutes before my twin brother. I thought I'd have more time, but with my father's recent death and fifty million people looking at me to lead, it's time to put aside my personal aspirations and take the crown. Love is a luxury I don't have—not with a royal betrothal to uphold. The lines that define my choices are black and white. But when I collide with a pink-haired American goddess who brings my world back into startling color, I know I can't take the crown without tasting her first.

I wear several labels: owner of the NFL's Raleigh Raptors, heir to the Rutherford empire, and certified adrenaline junkie. One label I'll never wear? Reckless. I may love skydiving and touring live volcanoes, but risking my life is easy. My heart? That's another thing entirely. For years I've kept my best friend and personal assistant Brynn Allen in the strictly platonic section of my wild life, but she's owned me since high school. She's smart, funny, logical, brilliant, and beyond gorgeous. To put it plainly, she's perfection wrapped in a tempting little package.

As a rookie, keeping up with the Seattle Sharks' starting trio is grueling work. Trying to pretend like the Sharks' new, totally-off-limits physical therapist doesn't make me ache? Impossible. Because she isn't just anyone. Once upon a time, Chloe was mine. Until she broke my heart. Now she's back in my life, and Coach has forbidden any of us from pursuing her. One look and my heart begs to claim her. One touch and I'm on fire.

I hold several titles: NHL Calgary Team Owner, McClaren Empire Heir, and Insatiable Playboy. My friends believe I'm more likely to walk on the moon than hold down a monogamous relationship, and that's never bothered me . . . Until now. Call me cocky, but I don't like being told I can't do...

I’m the fastest and most feared skater in the NHL. With a temper like mine, I can’t afford to make mistakes. But one insane night in Vegas, and I wake up married to the biggest mistake of all: Persephone VanDoren—the head of our team’s charitable foundation. Sure, the petite blonde is sweet enough to give the entire state of South Carolina a toothache, but I’ve never been one for the debutantes. She’s everything I’ve fought against my whole life—wealthy, perfect, gorgeous, and her sharp little tongue presses every single one of my buttons.

For two hundred years, I've held the Vampire throne. I've upheld our ancient traditions, and led the Order of Onyx Assassins. I've never questioned our rules...until now. The Covenant states that if humans discover the supernatural world, their lives are forfeit, but one run-in with human Lyric O'Brien, and I'm hooked. Smart, fierce, and sexy-as-sin, Lyric's blood tempts me with unbridled need. I never should have brought her into my world, but I can't stay away, And now she's in danger.

One night. It was supposed to be one wild night with my friend - a fiercely sexy chef. Now, I can't stop thinking about her. Can't stop craving her flavor. And that was before I found out our no-strings night resulted in two little pink lines. As the number one winger for the Seattle Sharks and the last man standing in our bad-boy trio, the only lines I'm familiar with are red and blue. But while hockey is my life, Jeannine branded herself on my heart.

Charlotte Carlisle is the only woman I've ever loved and never touched—because lusting after your brother's future queen is frowned upon. It never mattered that their betrothal was a political move made by our parents, that they didn't love each other—she was completely off limits to everything but my constant fantasies. And I've spent the last decade pushing her away, desperate to save my sanity. Now that my brother's abdicated the throne for his true love and left me holding the crown, the one woman I've always wanted is the same person enlisted to help me choose my future Queen.

She's my enemy . . . and my mate. For two hundred years, I've been the second in command to the Vampire King. It's my job to predict threats before they happen . . . but I never saw her coming. Valor Moorehouse isn't just the daughter of our greatest enemy, she's a real pain in the ass, and...

I'm Andromeda VanDoren, otherwise known as Persephone VanDoren's older sister or the family's embarrassment. For years I've tried to outrun my past, leaving a whole bunch of chaos in my wake. But I'm done running. I return home to Sweet Water fully prepared to do whatever it takes to pay for my past sins. Little did I know that would include working for the once-love-of-my-life James Harlowe.

I'm called many things: owner of the MLB's Charleston Hurricanes, perpetual bachelor, and the biggest asshole this side of home plate. I've never had a problem with that. Until now. My infamous temper has landed me in serious trouble. The answer to my salvation is a life coach. I have to complete three months of anger management sessions or I can kiss my ownership status goodbye.

I'm Luna Josling, owner of Sweet Water's most popular clothing boutique and known as an all-around shy artist. And after I catch my long-term boyfriend cheating on me in a totally humiliating way, I'm more than ready to escape my small town for a while. Who better to do that with than my best friend, Brad Washbrook? The only catch? I have to pretend to be his fiancé for two weeks while he attends a retreat for a prospective company partnership. It should be easy, right?

For over two centuries, I've been the king's assassin—his master of combat. It's my job to strategize and to train potential warriors, but I've never looked at any of them the way I look at Olivia—my best friend. She's all subtle curves, rich chocolate eyes, and as deadly as she is sexy. With a new war knocking at our borders, the king orders us to awaken the Hunters—six of the world's most lethal vampires. Olivia's family has guarded them for almost as long as she's kept her secret from her parents: She's not some docile, mated lady-in-waiting, she's actually a royal bodyguard.
