"A 6'5 NHL goalie walks into a bar and meets the love of his life… no, this isn't the start of a bad joke.
I had a chance encounter in a dimly lit bar that led to an earth-shattering kiss with a beautiful stranger.
But then the next morning my world is rocked again--when I walk inside my team captain's house and see her.
Farrah Remington isn't a mysterious stranger after all—she's the little sister of my captain and best friend. A woman firmly off limits to anyone on the D.C. Eagles.
Now, I have to pretend that kiss never happened. But the more I see Farrah, the hotter our chemistry burns, and the stronger our connection grows—until we can't resist each other any longer.
Sneaking around isn't ideal, but what my team captain doesn't know won't hurt him (or piss him off in the middle of the Stanley Cup playoffs).
I'm with my dream girl and my team is sailing through playoffs… until the truth comes out.
Now my team captain hates me, I can't keep pucks out of my net to save my life, and the woman I love won't speak to me.
Can I save my relationship, my friendship, and enough goals to help the D.C. Eagles finally win the Cup… or will I get shut out of Farrah's life forever?

"When the woman of my dreams finally becomes available, all bets are off.
I lost a bet to my older brother. My evil, life-ruining older brother and now I can't go on a date for FOUR months. I can't even touch a woman. No hand holding. Forget kissing.
I'm walking the straight and narrow (AKA dateless and lonely) just fine. Until my best friend (the woman I've been pining over since college) gets her heart broken.
How can I say no to those big, gorgeous blue eyes when she asks me to fly to Vermont to attend her sister's Christmas wedding with her? As her fake boyfriend.
Yeah, all bets are off. (Don't tell my brother).
It'll be easy . . . pretend to be my best friend's boyfriend without holding her, kissing her, or falling even more in love than I already am.
But when we end up having to share a room at her family's cabin, the line between real and fake becomes very blurry . . . and very tempting."
"Book three in the wildly popular D.C. Eagles Hockey Series!
Can Ford Remington—team captain of the D.C. Eagles—forge the future he wants?
Ford’s love life isn’t non-existent, it’s just hopelessly one-sided. And the only woman he’s ever wanted—his childhood best friend, Amber—doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. So why bother dating?
When Amber’s fiancé leaves her pregnant without health insurance, she’s prepared to do it all alone—until childbirth causes complications with her heart and she needs minor heart surgery.
Ford proposes a plan: a quickie wedding, insurance for Amber and her baby girl, and two years of platonically wedded bliss.
But how will he let go when he’s not only in love with Amber but also with her baby girl who now feels like his own?
And even worse, Ford might have to walk away sooner than he ever expected…
Betrothal or Breakaway is a dual POV, fade to black romance with lots of sizzle, but no spice.
This work of fiction contains mild language, depictions of child neglect, bullying (minimal), and the death of an animal (not descriptive). If you are sensitive to these subjects, please use these trigger warnings to make an informed decision about listening to this audiobook."
"How did I find myself sharing a tent with my obnoxious—albeit gorgeous—neighbor, Isabella Romero? It all started with a stupid bet.
All I had to do in order to win was something unpredictable. (Which my brother thought was impossible for the ever-boring David Windell).
Well, I showed him . . . by booking a trek in the Andes Mountains to see Machu Picchu.
When the brochure for the expedition mysteriously appeared on my front porch, it was like fate interceded: I could win the bet while simultaneously getting a vacation from my irritating neighbor.
Two birds, one stone.
Except, it turns out that was Isabella's brochure . . . and she booked the same trip.
So here I am, stuck sharing a tent with the woman who drives me crazy—and makes my heart race like never before."
"After getting my heart broken, I’ve sworn off athletes forever. Then my best friend has to go and marry an NHL player, and his teammate, Colby Knight, won’t leave me alone. Colby is a master at scoring (on and off the ice), and he’s not used to being told no. So he takes my disinterest as an invitation to pursue me even harder. I ignore him…until I realize I can use his expertise to help me get my crush’s attention. But now that he’s my dating coach, and we’re spending so much time together, I’m growing more and more distracted. I mean, those dimples? Very enticing. Just when I think he might be more than just a playboy hockey player, a blast from the past comes back and reminds me why I swore off athletes in the first place. Can I trust Colby, or is he just another jerk who will break my heart? Trigger warnings: cheating exes; mild language"
"I'm the notoriously angry, grouchy D.C. Eagles defenseman who just can’t keep his temper in check—a temper that leads to a fifteen-game suspension from the NHL. As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short-term youth-hockey coaching gig—which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.” But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother. Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she’s so protective of, has my defenses melting. And if I’m not careful, I’ll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I’ve carefully kept around my heart. This is a closed-door romcom with mild language. Trigger warnings include parental substance abuse and dealing with grief/loss of parents."
"Goals for a fresh start:
1. Move out of my parents' house.
2. Get my teaching career back on track
3. Join a widow support group
4. Don't fall in love with my dad's coworker/my new landlord.
After losing my husband three years ago, I'm ready for a fresh start for me and my daughter. I appreciate all of my parents' help, of course, but I can't live with them forever (and I don't want to). Dr. Drew Reed, my father's coworker, informs me his basement (turned income-property) is available for rent. And he also needs a part time nanny. Lucky for him, I can do both!
But living in such close proximity, seeing him in those dang sexy surgical scrubs, and watching him with our girls . . . is making my heart thaw in ways I never expected. But am I ready to love again?"
"Once, I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend…while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings. Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened…to ME, Melanie Taylor. That was five years ago, so I’m over it—over him. At least, I thought I was…until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother’s best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player? Of course, I set out to avoid him completely but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force. Except this time, the attraction doesn’t feel so one-sided. This is a closed-door, dual POV romcom with mild language and innuendo. Trigger warnings: childhood trauma/anxiety."
"When making it to congress means faking a marriage . . . fake it 'til you make it takes on a whole new meaning.
Apparently, conservative Midwestern voters want more than my brains, connections, and good looks to vote me in as a congressman.
That's right, to appear as the all-American family man they want . . . I need a wife. ASAP.
The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She's a wholesome small-town girl, and conveniently in need of cash. I'll give her the money to take care of her elderly parents, and she'll be the political arm candy I need.
We both win, right?
The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and way too distracting.
I have to keep my eye on the prize. Because there might be something I want more than a seat in congress."
