'Vivacious and successful, Ava Meyers is living her dream life, except for one thing: ever since childhood, she’s been in love with her best friend...and she’s never admitted it. Back then, Sam Farrow was a damaged young man with a tough past. Now he’s supremely confident, super sexy, and totally untouchable—until the night when he pretends to be her boyfriend to save her from some unwanted attention. In a moment of weakness, she finds out that a decades-long friendship is no match for blistering sexual chemistry. After years of denying his own feelings, Sam finds that one amazing night with Ava isn’t enough to chase away all the pent-up fantasies. So he proposes they spend a few weeks driving each other wild, exhausting their every desire, and then return to their perfect platonic relationship like nothing ever happened. But his plan has one fatal flaw: the part where they give each other up. Because the more they let go of their inhibitions, the more they’re tempted to never go back.'
'After her one attempt at commitment ends in the worst kind of betrayal, Maggie Lawson vows that the only people she’ll love ’til death do they part will be her friends. Unfortunately, that means Maggie letting her bestie rope her into a year-long dating dare: score a new date each month or pay a penalty. It seems doable—until Maggie’s date stands her up, leaving only one option: the sexy stud who just moved in upstairs. The problem? He and Maggie can’t stop fighting—and that’s just the beginning. His name is Tyler Wells, and the last thing he needs is his neighbor distracting him with her girl-next-door smile and sharp tongue. Tyler’s in Chicago for one reason: to woo back his selfish ex in order to reclaim the child he once thought was his—and that means keeping Maggie out of his bed. And that's a tall order since Maggie has become a bigger temptation than he ever expected to face. But before they can even consider leaving the past behind, Maggie and Tyler must accept a brand-new dare: real, forever love.'
This bundle includes three books in the Slayers Hockey series. In the first book of the series, Dirty Secret, an NHL player has to keep his head down to avoid being benched for the season. But when he discovers he’s fallen for the captain's little sister, trouble gets hard to avoid. In the second book, Dirty Hookup, a rough-around-the-edges hockey player finds himself falling for a feisty redhead. Can he convince her that he's boyfriend material before it's too late? In the third book, Dirty Rebound, Cammy Wesley’s hockey-player best friend becomes her fake boyfriend. But when he wants more, he has to figure out if he can become the kind of guy who can commit to a happily-ever-after...
There I was, working to get a rise out of my cranky little rule-following, fun-wrecking, soon-to-be ex-neighbor when my one-night stand from last season shows up... in labor. Next thing I know, I'm a single-dad begging for a crash course in caring for this tiny miracle from the neighbor who loves to hate me. It turns out Nora raised half her siblings. She knows things. And I know my son needs her. Unfortunately, she's not impressed by my NHL career, my legendary charm, or the rumors surrounding the size of my stick (all true btw). But I'm not trying to impress her-not anymore-I can't. I'm asking her to help me out. My son deserves better than some player who hasn't even had a chance to read the manual yet. And that means-no matter how hot I find her spitfire mouth and those rules she doesn't break-that Nora is off-limits.
Er ist erfolgreich, berühmt und unwiderstehlich. Doch ist er noch derselbe wie damals?Seit zehn Jahren hat Abby ihre Jugendliebe Hank nicht mehr gesehen. Das heißt, sie hat ihn gesehen, allerdings nur auf dem Cover von Zeitschriften, wo er als der heißeste CEO im Silicon Valley gefeiert wird. Als Hank unerwartet in ihre Heimatstadt zurückkehrt, macht ihr Herz einen unerwarteten Satz - obwohl ihr schnell klar wird, dass Hank sich verändert hat. Der Erfolg ist nicht spurlos an ihm vorübergegangen und sie weiß nicht, ob sie dem Hank von heute ihr Herz noch einmal anvertrauen soll. Doch auch wenn er immer wieder betont, dass er nicht bleiben wird, dass sein Leben nicht mit ihrem kompatibel ist, ist die Leidenschaft zwischen ihnen stärker als Abby es sich je in ihren heimlichen Träumen vorstellen konnte ...-
She's sexy as sin...She's sharp as hell, and she's also the lush little harpy who's been rubbing me wrong since we were kids.I don't want to do her a favor...If it'd been any other damsel in distress looking to shake some unwanted attention, I'd have been the perfect fake boyfriend for all of five minutes.But Laurel brings out the bastard in me, and five minutes hardly seemed enough time to make her squirm.She wants to one-up me...But I want to win. And maybe I need a favor too.
It started as a joke...A throwaway promise between friends. A dare for a single kiss at our reunion and nothing more.But that kiss...that kiss was no joking matter. It was hot and wet. A hands-everywhere, breathless kind of insanity that left us both teetering on the brink.She's got rules about guys like me...rules I respect the hell out of when they apply to any other pro athlete.But as they apply to me? Those rules are about to be broken.
I never thought I'd see her again-let alone find her in the same spot I left her ten years ago, teaching at the high school where we fell in love.I should have kept walking, but I wanted that laugh, that smile. I wanted five minutes before I got back to a life with no room for my past.One kiss was all I meant to take...but then her fingers were in my hair, her breath hot against my lips, and my hands...everywhere.Now I want more.I want her, but she only wants the guy I used to be.And just like the first time... I can't stay, and she won't leave.
I care too much about Cammy Wesley to marry her...Yeah, I know what you're thinking. But hear me out.Cammy's my best friend-the one person I can't live without, the girl with the sunshine smile, the loaded fridge, and the most awesome kid I've ever met. She's also the hot AF single mom I've made it my mission to protect from guys like me. And I won't risk ruining our friendship by pushing for something more.I can't be her forever.I'm not that guy. I'm the good time, the class clown, the hockey stud. I'm the happy-for-now, not the happily-ever-after.I stay in my lane, but when Cammy's ex needs a lesson, the rash overprotective part of me jumps the boards and I go from best friend to fake boyfriend in the span of a kiss. And that's just the beginning-because when it comes to Cammy, there's nothing I won't do...even if it's guaranteed to wreck me.
I should walk away, find some puck bunny to gleefully sit on my lap and tell me what a big, hot, hockey stud I am-totally true, BTW. But there's just something about this feisty redhead I can't let go. She's got an edge to her that's sexy as hell and a smart mouth that's been tying me up since the night I met her.She tells me to forget it, we're not happening. But she's not the kind of woman a guy ever forgets. Especially when the air starts to sizzle and pop every time we get within ten feet of each other. She's in my head and under my skin, and all I can think about is the way she looked at me that one time-like she already knew how it could be between us.I'm not the kind of guy a girl like her takes home...but maybe I want to be.
This team hates me. Something about my chronic case of resting prick face and that thing with the captain when the season started. My fist, his jaw. Yeah, we go back, and not in a good way.Coach says no more "confrontational BS" or I don't play at all. And that's a hit my career in the NHL can't take. So the plan is simple. Keep my head down and finish out my contract with my fists checked.There's just one problem. Allie. The girl from Vancouver eight months ago. The one with the sexy, shy, and sinfully bold smile and the sweetest, wettest mouth I ever tasted. The girl who blew my mind and then blew out of my life without giving me her number.Turns out she's the captain's little sister. And even though my career depends on it...I can't stay away from her.
