The Rival

Dump my cheating ex? Check.


Land an amazing job with Boston’s professional hockey franchise? Check.


Fall stupidly in love with hockey’s favorite bad boy? Ugh.


After wasting years of my life with the wrong person, I told myself all I wanted was a little no-strings fun. Enter Alex Braun—a wealthy, handsome, notorious playboy who’s equal parts charming and dangerous as hell to my wounded heart.


After enduring a very public breakup of his own, the sexy player doesn’t want to be anyone’s forever. Too bad he barreled his way into my heart, instead of just my bed.


But this professional athlete knows a thing or two about competing, and he won’t let go so easily.


Dear Jane


I broke her heart ten years ago and left town.


She hates me, and rightly so. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I’m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract. Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a failure who was too young—and too afraid—to fight for what I wanted.


But I’m not that guy anymore, and all I need is one shot to convince her.


***

He has no idea what happened after he left. And now I’m supposed to work alongside him like we don’t have this huge, messy history?


But I’m older now, wiser, and I won’t let anything stand in my way of doing a good job for this league. Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks we’re going to kiss and make up.


News flash, buddy: I am over you.


All the Way


She's ready to take on hockey's favorite playboy.


Becca Walsh needs some help. When it comes to intimacy... let's just say she's got enough baggage to fill an entire hockey arena.


If she ever wants to find the one, it’s time for her to take charge. Which is why asking her best friend, hockey stud Owen Parrish, is really her only option. He's the king of hookups and with his help, this won’t be nearly as hard.


I’ve never been this hard in my entire life.


My friend Becca wants my help with scoring. It's something I excel at, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?


Wrong. After one explosive night together leads to another, I know I'm in way over my head.


Now it's time to pull out all the stops and show her exactly how right we could be together.
