A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.A Friends-only rule seems like a good idea, but it turns out to be far from easy. Wes is flirty, generous and looks at me like I’m the only one. How can I avoid falling for my brother’s teammate when he comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules?Every single one.
My new neighbour is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time…right? Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be my newest interior design client—a pro hockey player redecorating his mom’s house. He’s sworn off distractions in his final season, and I definitely don’t date clients.But between stolen glances, a scorching backyard kiss, and one fake-date-turned-sleepover, our chemistry is impossible to ignore.From charity galas to hockey games, pretending we’re not falling for each other becomes the hardest play of all.Now I just have to convince Ford that with me he can have both love and hockey.
In my defence, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team. And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter.That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date.But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him.When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. Too much is at stake—I can’t risk my heart or my father’s team.But when I end up living at Miles’s place to care for his pack of rescue pups, the lines and I discover there’s more to him than I ever imagined—a man who’s genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real.My heart’s getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it… am I putting everyone’s dreams on the line?
Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a nannying job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.Until one night, the tension snaps.Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.But the more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.
My plan when I win a date in Vegas with my brother’s hockey star best friend? Poker and go to sleep early. Instead, I wake up with a ring on my finger and the sexy athlete naked in my bed. Asher’s my best friend too so we’ll get this annulled and laugh about this secret for years.Trouble is our wedding pics went viral overnight. And for the sake of our careers we need to look like we meant to tie the knot.We’ll claim we’ve been secretly in love, while staying in separate rooms for the rest of the hockey season.The last thing we want is to ruin a decade-long friendship by falling into bed again.Except, the more he calls me his wife, the more I start to wonder if Asher was ever pretending?And if my heart is ready to take the biggest risk of all.
The first rule of handling PR for a hockey team? Never hook up with a player.That shouldn’t be a problem since the last man on earth I want to give an image makeover to is our goalie. He’s infuriatingly hot, famously grumpy and lives to spar with me after every game. Shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I need, so I grit my teeth and do my job, no matter how hard he makes it. As I get to know the man behind the broody iceman exterior, he becomes impossible to resist and soon, only once turns into every night. But the man is entirely off limits.Because the only thing worse than hooking up with a player is falling head over heels for him.
