Kate McLeod was desperate. Her younger sister was having her first baby, her younger brother was recently married, and Christmas was coming. And in the McLeod household, Christmas was everything. Every year, her parents’ house looked like an assembly of angels had puked everywhere. Well, this year she had a plan. She was going to get herself engaged. A diamond ring on her finger was the perfect way to get her family to back off. And she had just the perfect guy in mind.

I'm not looking for forever. My gorgeous, billionaire neighbor has decided otherwise. I've been burned by enough bad ex-boyfriends to know that love isn't in the cards for me. I work hard, keep my head down, and avoid all romantic attachments like the plague. The only trouble? The infuriating...

It began with a cock. Of the rooster variety. It ended with a groomsman toppling into the wedding cake. Heidi hadn’t meant to be a bad bridesmaid. She loved her best friend and the man Kate was marrying. Who she didn’t love? The groom’s brother. The cocky - no pun intended - jerk had made Heidi aware of exactly what he thought of her. That being, she wasn’t worth anything more than a quick romp and a disappearing act before the sun rose.

Muscles. Mandy’s work was supposed to be regulated to muscles. Well, muscles and ligaments and tendons...and general body health and - Sigh. She was blabbering as usual, but muscles combined with lips that were way too kissable and a pair of sharp blue eyes that pierced right through all of her carefully erected defenses had a way of doing that to a girl. Blane was her fantasy - literally her nightly fantasy. He was sexy, strong, talented, and normally she would have thrown herself at his feet and begged for a night - or, cough, more - showing him exactly what that fantasy was.

Recently traded to the Grizzlies, I’m struggling to find my place on the team. I’ve changed coasts, moved away from my best friend, from the Breakers who became family, and. . . I’m alone. And it’s my birthday. A fact that everyone around me seems to have forgotten. Until a knock at the door proves differently. I was in love with Luna when I was a teenager, and now she's on my doorstep, vivacious and beautiful and. . . holding a piece of paper I barely remember. One that says we’ll get married. . . And I think I’m just insane enough to say yes.

Heather O’Keith is the biggest, baddest female CEO around. She’s known for being tough as nails, fair to a fault, and a shark when it comes to securing contracts for her business, RoboTech. She’s also lonely. Not that she would tell anyone else that...least of all one Clay Steele - sexy, smart, cold, and a man with a business acumen that both matches and sometimes surpasses her own. But then fate catches them both at a weak moment and Heather realizes that she may not be the only lonely one. The big lug who seems to enjoy tormenting her in the business world also has a soft side.

I had everything I had ever wanted . . . And it meant nothing. Because the love of my life had lost everything. My career was exactly where I'd wanted it—I was on a great team, getting lots of playing time, and I'd finally won the ultimate prize. But Bailey was hurting, and I couldn't live...

I had it all. Two beautiful children. A gainfully employed husband. A successful food blog. The only thing missing from my life was...heat...I wanted what my sister had: love, passion, and a husband whose love was infinite. Because something was happening with Rob. Had he fallen out of love with me? Had he found someone else? Was I not - Sigh. Was I not enough?

She was just supposed to be a one-night stand . . . But then she became my world. Once, I was the lead guitarist of the hit rock band, Midnight Sun. Then a tragic accident took everything from me. I can no longer play guitar, my wife left me, and the future I worked so hard for is slipping away...

I’ve sworn off love . . . until her. The only problem? She can't stand me. Gorgeous, single mom Ivy wants absolutely nothing to do with me. She thinks I'm a player—and maybe I am. She thinks I don’t take anything seriously—and maybe I don't. She thinks I can never make her happy—but...

We were never supposed to cross that line. Now there’s no going back. Ryan Eisher has been my best friend for years, and the only constant in a life I’ve had to fight to rebuild. As a single mom and cancer survivor, I don’t take risks. Not with my heart. Not with my son’s. So when one...

It was supposed to be one night. Now I can't seem to let him go. As a single mom, my life is built on routine, responsibility, and putting my son first. There isn't room for distractions—especially not from a playboy hockey player with a reputation as big as his ego. One night with Sawyer Hill...

One moment captured on a jumbotron changed my life. One glance at that screen and . . . I was Coldplayed. My fiancé getting caught canoodling on national TV was not on my bingo card for my first season of coaching the NHL's Oakland Eagles. Neither was falling for a hockey player on my roster...

I fell for the woman who's in love with my brother. As a professional hockey player, there's no shortage of women who want me. Just . . . not the woman I want. Because she's in love with my older brother. Until a freak summer rainstorm means that we're stuck together. In the mountains. With the...

I'd wanted her from the first moment I'd seen her. But Billie Rose hadn't liked me. Not that I could blame her—I'd just been another of the annoying hockey players seemingly out to ruin her town. Thankfully, I'd finally gotten her to see me. To want me. But Billie was the most together person...

A decade ago she broke me. Now she's back . . . with a kid in tow. Belle Harrison dumped me right before I got my first big contract, breaking my heart and sending me straight into a life of singlehood. Once bitten and twice shy, and all that. Of course that was before she showed up after a...

I had a love-hate relationship with hockey players. They'd won over my protected, carefully-controlled heart, and I accepted that they had a place in my town. And in my heart. Mostly because Joel had waltzed right in and made himself at home. And . . . I'd fallen for him. Deep. But now the man...

I hated hockey players. While the Rush had cleaned up their act and were no long wreaking havoc in my town, Joel—captain and a talented forward on the team—was wreaking havoc on my life. He'd made it his mission to push my buttons on a regular basis. The man was equal parts infuriating and...

He's the captain. I'm the owner's daughter. I live next door to a hockey player who makes my heart race. Just so happens, he plays for my father's team. My overprotective, has warned me away from all hockey players, but especially those playing on the team he owns—the Oakland Eagles—father...

Liam Williamson was a legend in the NHL. Or rather...his family was legend. He’d been traded to four teams in as many years and it was widely accepted that his career was nearly at an end. Now he was with the San Francisco Gold, barely on the lineup and just waiting for notice that he’d been scratched from every game. Then he met Mia. She was funny and sweet and the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. Unsurprisingly, Liam had fallen and fallen fast. But he was about to be traded and Mia lived in San Francisco. Her life was there....
