I'm the best goalie in the league. That's not me shooting the shit. I've got the stats to back me on this. My ability to see the ice, predict plays before they happen, read the players are all skills I've honed since the first time they strapped me into a pair of skates. But it's not just the ice where I enjoy watching people. That part of me is something no one can ever know. Makes finding The One difficult. But finding The One for tonight? That I can do.

As a pro-bound college athlete with a good-time reputation, I usually have my pick of puck bunnies. But lately, I’ve been in a dry spell that feels more like a curse, and the stress is affecting my game–the one thing that can’t happen if I’m going to keep building my case for a future in the NHL, starting with making team captain. Enter Penny Ryder. She’s my coach’s daughter, but the moment she pulls me into that ice rink closet and lets me have my way with her, she’s the one thing on my mind besides hockey.

Football is my everything. I live, eat, breathe the sport. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I’m faced with another consequence: retake and pass the writing class I failed at my last college, or lose any chance I have at making it big. That’s where fellow senior Beckett Wood—gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type—comes in. She’s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.

Hockey is my life, and I need to make this last season count. But when I’m forced to transfer to rival school McKee University for my senior year, I risk pissing off the captain, who happens to be the older brother of Isabelle Callahan: the gorgeous beam of sunshine I messed around with in secret this summer. Rekindling our fling could risk her brother icing me off the team—not to mention the fact that my scarred past makes having a real relationship impossible—and yet the moment I see Isabelle again, all my wild, burning feelings come rushing back.

It’s my final season to prove myself before the MLB Draft. The last thing I need is a distraction–and especially not one as tantalizing as Mia di Angelo. She’s the drop-dead gorgeous astrophysicist-in-training who ditched me the moment I wanted to take us from casual to committed. Yeah. Ouch. But when she needs somewhere to stay for the summer… well. I offer her my place. Being roommates shouldn’t be so hard. Not distracting at all. Not the least bit challenging.

Mack Granger's reputation is a PR nightmare. As his career winds down, he realizes he needs to clean up his act. One way to secure his post-MLB future is to convince the media he's in a stable, loving relationship. When fate drops a roomie with benefits into his lap, it's like hitting a grand slam.

NFL center Ethan Dexter's focus has always been on playing football and little else. Except when it comes to one particular woman. The lovely Fiona Mackenzie might not care about his fame, but she's also never looked at him as anything more than one of her brother-in-law's best friends. That ends now. The bearded, tattooed, mountain of man-muscle looks more like a biker than a football player. Rumor has it he's a virgin, but she finds that hard to believe. Because from the moment he decides to turn his quiet intensity on her, she's left weak at the knees.

Patineuse artistique star de l'équipe de Maple Hills, Anastasia Allen vit pour gagner. Son emploi du temps plus chargé que celui d'un ministre ne tourne qu'autour de son sport, laissant peu de place à l'imprévu. Nathan Hawkins, lui, n'a jamais rencontré de problème qu'il ne pouvait pas résoudre. Et en tant que capitaine de l'équipe de hockey, il sait que sa responsabilité est de maintenir l'équipe soudée.

It was time to celebrate. After all my hard work, I was graduating at the top of my class. Our family vacation was the perfect chance to relax. Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window. Tristan's everything I've always wanted but can never have. One night was all we had together. Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him.

I'm a romance writer in a slump. All I did was tag along to a hockey game with my brother. The star player slams a guy into a wall and turns to give the crowd a thumbs-up. Just like that… a spark ignited in me. I went home and scribbled down a story idea, posting it to Instagram. The next morning, thousands of new followers and an avalanche of comments. People loved my idea. So, I followed the inspiration, bought season tickets to the Vipers games, and kept my new project a secret.

"Where have all the good men gone?" Single mom Emma Swenson desperately needed a new start - so she escaped to small town Bayfield, Ontario, where her unhinged ex can't possibly find her. Hockey star Jack Hathaway stunned the sports world when he walked out on a life of fame - and never told a soul why. No one in the tranquil lake paradise of Bayfield knows about his hockey past. And that's just the way the former captain likes it. But the latest girl to catch his eye isn't looking for a fling.

Parker: Of all the hot guys in the club, of course I find myself tangled up with a baseball player. Our chemistry is out of the park, igniting as his athletic body moves next to mine. I know exactly who he is, but the infamous Holden Bailey has no idea who I am, or my connection to the team. I prefer it that way. I give in to one dance with Holden and send him home alone. He can have any woman he wants, but for some reason, he wants me. His pursuit is relentless. He wrote the playbook on being a player, though. Giving in could cost me my heart.

I don't think his parents expected him to live up to his name - Racer Tate - but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted. He's the fastest, fiercest driver around. Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...but his smile sends me to my knees. The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....

Griffin: All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me . . . us a chance. Before her, baseball was the center of my world. Being the best. Getting a full-ride scholarship. Getting drafted. Going pro. But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can't stop thinking about her. She's beautiful, funny, smart . . . and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option.

Eden Bauer grew up in a rough part of New York with an unsafe home life and took refuge in the neighborhood Tae Kwon Do dojang. When the master of the dojang offered to train Eden as a live-in student, he started her on a journey that would eventually lead her to become the UFC featherweight champion of the world. Eden loves competing and coaching the underprivileged kids of her community, but just as she’s getting comfortable with her champion title, a new martial artist from a legendary family comes roaring onto the scene with a dynasty on her shoulders.

Returning from Texas after summer break, which I spent working and training, I expected a temperature change. Hell, I welcomed the chill, but I didn't expect to be completely frozen out by the only chick at Lincoln University who I thought about almost as much as I do hockey. When I saw Riley Park for the first time, the universe shifted. Which sounds completely lame, but I take issues with liars; therefore, I refuse to be one. I, Theo Rivera, was enchanted by her. Was? Yeah. Because now… now I'm just pissed.

Henry Turner se da cuenta de que va a tener que currárselo cuando acaba en una clase complicada con el profesor que menos le gusta. Encima, ahora es el nuevo capitán del equipo de hockey, así que no puede permitirse fallar. Pero todo cambia cuando se cuela en un club de lectura accidentalmente y conoce a Halle Jacobs. Ella es una auténtica superestrella cuando se trata de hincar los codos. Aunque entre sus propias clases, el trabajo, el club de lectura y la novela que está intentando

Anastasia Allen está decidida a entrar en el equipo olímpico de patinaje artístico de Estados Unidos y, cuando consigue una beca para la Universidad de California, todo parece ir de acuerdo con su plan. El objetivo de Nathan Hawkins como capitán del equipo de hockey es mantener a sus chicos sobre el hielo cueste lo que cueste, pero todo se complica cuando tienen que compartir pista con una patinadora guapísima y con muy mal genio.

Grumpy meets Sunshine on Ice. Seit ihrer Kindheit träumt Anastasia Allen davon, es ins Team USA und somit zu den Olympischen Spielen zu schaffen, und dank ihres Stipendiums an der University of California sowie eines strengen, aber perfekten Zeitplans ist die Eiskunstläuferin ihrem Traum so nah wie noch nie. Doch plötzlich muss eine der wenigen Eissporthallen des Campus geschlossen werden, und kurz darauf fällt auch noch Anastasias Eiskunstlaufpartner aus.

Der TIKTOK-Megahit geht weiter! Als Henry Turner zum neuen Captain des Eishockeyteams ernannt wird und ausgerechnet im ultraschweren Kurs seines meistgehassten Professors landet, wird klar, dass das neue Semester an der UCMH alles andere als ein Spaziergang werden wird. Doch Henry hat Glück im Unglück: Nachdem er aus Versehen den Buchclub von Halle Jacobs crasht, bietet die akademische Überfliegerin ihm an, ihm Nachhilfe zu geben - für einen Preis.
