"Two words describe Happy Slater: unserious and slutty. The second line defenseman, son of a former supermodel and a rockstar, is known for a good time and not a lot else. But sometimes appearances can be deceiving, and it's often the ones we least expect that are hiding the biggest secrets.
Hannah Draper, daughter of New York Thunder head coach Lance Draper, has officially had it with men. Forced to wait in the rain for an Uber that never shows, that is driven by—yep—a man, it only proves her point that all men suck.
During her time of need, the last person Hannah wants to accept help from is Happy Slater, but desperate times often lead to terrible mistakes. After an unexpected night of hate-filled passion, they part ways only to find themselves brought back together again, and again, and again.
Just when Hannah thinks she's got Happy figured out, he opens up his heart and shares his deepest secrets with her. But as the unlikely pair try to navigate their foreign feelings together, ghosts from their past start to surface, threatening everything.
With more than just their hearts on the line, will they be strong enough to hold on to their Happy Every After?"
"If there's one thing Logan Cullen is good at, it's hockey. With an ex-NHL player as a father, there was never any other option.
If there's another thing Logan is good at, it's hiding the truth. There's only so much fame, women, and money can blur before he's left wondering how much longer he can keep up the facade. That is until he meets the one person who's off limits.
After spending a night with his teammate's little sister, Logan feels like maybe there's more to all this than just hockey. But he unwittingly manages to screw everything up.
Millie Shaw is not going back to Texas. New York has always been her dream.
Graduating early, Millie's lucky to clinch an internship on Wall Street, and she joins her brother, New York Thunder Goalie, to live out her dream in the city. But moving to New York comes the real possibility of coming face to face with the one person who broke her heart.
When things don't work out living with her brother and his soon-to-be wife, Millie finds herself with no choice but to begrudgingly accept an offer to move in with the one man she's desperate to hate.
Will being forced together be enough to break them forever, or will it become their Best Kept Secret?"
"Dallas Shaw is a 'no strings' kind of guy. Voted NHL's sexiest goalie two years in a row, he's the league's biggest playboy.
But when a pretty blonde crashes into his life, what was supposed to be a one night stand turns Dallas' whole world upside down. When he wakes up alone the morning after, he's left with nothing but her sweet scent on his pillow and a serious case of longing.
A month later, fate brings Dallas' dream girl back into his life. And he's determined to win her over. The only problem? She's his agent's new executive assistant.
Emily Cole, the beautiful woman with honey eyes and hidden scars, unknowingly has Dallas' heart in the palm of her hand. He can't stay away, no matter how hard she tries to push him away or how many times she reminds him that she's almost ten years his senior. For the first time in his life, Dallas Shaw is down bad.
Now, all he has to do is convince Emily that he's worth the risk. That he's no longer the infamous playboy with a roster of women in every city he's ever played. And, most importantly, that he'll never hurt her the way she's been hurt before.
It was supposed to be just one night. But what if the one night stand is the one?"
"Not so long ago, Robbie Mason had it all. But then he went and broke his own teammate's jaw, and the best defenseman in the history of the NHL hit rock bottom, hard.
Offered one last chance to play on the worst team in the league, the New York Thunder, Robbie knows he has to fix his reputation in order to prove to his coaches and league officials that he's no longer the infamous bad boy of hockey.
With her job on the line, New York City real estate agent Fran Keller needs a sale. When she receives a last-minute viewing request, Fran is prepared to do just about anything to secure a signed deal sheet. That is until she opens the door to Robbie Mason, her old high school nemesis.
Fran needs to sell a six-million-dollar apartment to keep her job. Robbie needs a place to live, and just so happens to have six-million bucks to spend.
It's the perfect plan. Robbie buys the apartment and, in exchange, Fran pretends to be his girlfriend. Because what better way to prove that he's cleaned up his act than by settling down with a nice, young career-driver woman?
And, besides, who better to fake a relationship with that someone you can't stand?
Yeah, right . . . Famous Last Words."
