Lia Crestwood - America’s Ice Princess From the moment I could put one foot in front of the other, the ice was my home. No distractions, no excuses, I put everything into my golden career. I never expected it all to come crashing down on me. I could have given it all up, but that would just be too easy. Max Madden - Hockey’s Bad Boy Do or die, that’s always been my motto. Put it all out on the ice, be the fastest and the strongest. Being the hottest hockey player in the country and getting a significant injury was a no go when my addiction was already killing me from the inside out. I was ready to give it all up. Meeting her, that changed everything.

Harrison Wynn Even though I’m the oldest player on the farm team, I’m playing my heart out this year to prove that I have what it takes to play in the NHL. Everyone expects me to live up to my dying hockey hero dad’s legacy, but my chances are receding every season. What I need is to focus, but the team’s new yoga instructor is a major distraction; I’ve had my eye on her from the first time we met. Except she’s not interested—okay, maybe actively disinterested—since I accidentally dumped her into the ocean during our paddleboard yoga class. How can I prove to her—and to the NHL—that I’m worth taking a chance on? Arya Ross Men are the last thing I need in my life. Yoga is my priority; it helps me center myself and heal my soul. But I can’t turn down the once-in-a-lifetime offer to be the personal yoga instructor for the local hockey team. Sure, there are some cute players—including Harrison Wynn, who seemingly won’t take no for an answer, and whose boyish smile and sexy charm are hard to resist. He seems genuine, and I wonder . . . Can I put my past behind me to start a future with him?

*A Standalone novel* I'm NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance "Romance." I'm notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I'm a player on and off the ice. I'm the one women with no inhibitions want. Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don't know how to be any other way. I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she's the kind of bad I deserve. At least that's what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She's all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark. I shouldn't want her. But I do. I should leave her alone. But I won't.

What happened in high school stayed in high school. Until now. Five years ago, Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then, he's made an art of hiding his sexual orientation from everyone. Including himself. So it's a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless. For Graham, there is only one possible reaction: total, debilitating panic. With one loose word, the team's new left wing could destroy Graham's life as he knows it. John Rikker is stuck being the new guy. Again. And it's worse than usual, because the media has latched onto the story of the only "out" player in Division One hockey. As the satellite trucks line the sidewalk outside the rink, his new teammates are not amused. And one player in particular looks sick every time he enters the room. Rikker didn't exactly expect a warm welcome from Graham. But the guy won't even meet his eyes. From the looks of it, his former... best friend / boyfriend / whatever isn't doing so well. He drinks too much and can't focus during practice. Either the two loneliest guys on the team will self destruct from all the new pressures in their lives, or they can navigate the pain to find a way back to one another. To say that it won't be easy is the Understatement of the Year. Warning: unlike the other books in this series, this heartbreaking love story is about two guys. Contains sexual situations, dance music, snarky t-shirts and a poker-playing grandmother.

Corbin Gauthier never expected to play with the Baltimore Banners again, not when he'd been traded away in the league expansion eight years ago. Yet here he was, three teams and a lifetime later, back where he started as the hockey team's goalie. And back to the one woman he's never been able to forget-the one woman who is completely off-limits. Lori Evans isn't the same young girl she'd been all those years ago when she first met the shy goalie. She's older now, more mature and confident, with her feet planted firmly on the ground. Or so she thinks until Corbin shows back up. He's not the same young man she's dreamt of all these years: a little harder, more jaded, more cynical...and more tempting than ever. And he's just as off-limits as before, maybe even more since her uncle is now the head coach for the Baltimore Banners. At least, he's supposed to be off-limits. Lori has other ideas-and she knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. All she has to do is convince the straight-laced goalie that some things are worth drawing a penalty for-even if it means risking a chance of getting ejected from the biggest game of all.

When the game changes, love finds a way to score. Jabari Hall has spent his entire life chasing victory on the ice--but one devastating hit leaves him benched, not just from hockey but from the future he thought he had. Now, as he struggles with deteriorating eyesight, his well-meaning teammates set him up on a date, hoping it will cheer him up--only the date they choose is none other than Val Elliott, his ex's sister. Val never expected to be sitting across from Jabari, especially after the way he broke her sister's heart. But when Jabari opens up about his diagnosis, Val's guarded heart softens, and she offers him a listening ear. What begins as a simple friendship quickly turns into something more. As Jabari navigates life off the ice, he's drawn to Val in ways he didn't expect. With her loyalty to her family on the line and Jabari searching for faith and a new purpose, can they make it to the goal together, or will their hearts wind up in the penalty box?
