Book excerpt: Big Puck Energy I played hard and lived even harder. At least until the mayor of River’s Bend got it in her head that the hockey players carousing through her small town in Nowhere, California were unwelcome. I couldn’t care less. My priorities were pucks, puck bunnies, and pucking my way to the top. Only…I underestimated the mayor and her intentions to clean up the town, the Rush, and end my streak through the town’s female population. I underestimated that her matchmaking abilities might be on point. I underestimated that her niece might be… The woman who would lay claim to my heart. Filthy Puckboy I never expected to fall for a puckboy. I certainly never expected to fall for Axel Finnegan, star of the Rush. But the hockey player charmed his way into my life, made himself indispensable, and now I was all in for my filthy puckboy. Except…my life had other plans. My ex was back, my parents were a freaking nightmare, and Axel’s career was taking off, bringing with it a level of fans and puck bunnies that were increasingly uncomfortable for my small-town heart. But then it wasn’t just my heart that was being threatened. It was my home, my livelihood, my… Life. So Pucking Over It I had everything I had ever wanted… And it meant nothing. Because the love of my life had lost everything. My career was exactly where I’d wanted it—I was on a great team, getting lots of playing time, and I’d finally won the ultimate prize. But Bailey was hurting, and I couldn’t live knowing that. I loved her more than my life, my job, my dreams. She was my dream now. And I would do anything to save her so that she could live out hers. This collection is Bailey and Axel's complete story.

Book excerpt: EZRAPartying, dudes, and hockey. What more could a gay NHL player want?If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.Not that he affects my life in any way. At all.

Book excerpt: ASHER Hockey, studying, and school runs. That's my life now. After a tragic accident that took our parents' lives, it's up to me and my big brother to take care of our five younger siblings. In between burning their meals and keeping them from killing each other, I'm supposed to get a college degree. It's hard when I don't have time to breathe let alone study, and if I don't get my grades up, I'm in danger of losing the one thing that makes me happy: my spot on the hockey team. Which is why when the new equipment manager offers to tutor me, I really can't afford to say no. Even though I should. He's Coach's son and way too tempting. KOLE As this year's equipment manager for Dad's hockey team, I'm expected to deal with sweaty jock straps and herding hockey players to their rooms at away games. The job is easy, but babysitting Asher Dalton is not supposed to be a part of it. So why, when his brother asks me to keep an eye on him, do I agree? Why, when he's struggling in classes, do I offer to help? And why, when we're studying, do I suggest a reward system that lands us squarely in bed? Asher's trouble, I know he is. But there's something about him that makes it impossible to stay away.

Book excerpt: Puck boy? I'll take it. Heck, I've been called a lot worse. Good time? You know it. Just ask anyone at Brooks University. From a young age, the only thing in life I've ever taken seriously is hockey, and I'm not the guy who anyone-besides family and teammates-can count on. This is all true. At least until a certain curly-haired, blue-eyed goddess comes to me, looking for an easy hookup. And hook her up I do. But what's supposed to be a one-night stand doesn't stop at one night. What's meant to be easy ... sure as hell gets complicated fast. And it becomes clear that Addison LaConte is just as much my savior as she is my demise. They say if you love something, set it free, and if it's meant to be, one day, it will return. Well, I don't think our story is going to be that simple.

Book excerpt: Easton You know what's the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type. Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I'm all grown up now.

When I throw myself at him and get utterly rejected, I never want to see him again.

Can't I just die of embarrassment in peace? Knox The Kiki brothers are legendary in the NHL world. Thick as thieves, unstoppable on the ice, and the kind of family nothing can come between.

Ever since we stumbled across each other on a gay dating app and shared our secrets, I've felt a connection to him that I haven't had with anything else. But Connor is my best friend and when it comes to his little brothers, "protective" doesn't cover it. I'm determined to take my feelings for Easton to the grave, but after a week in close proximity to him, my willpower is ready to break. All it takes is one charity hockey match, a drunken night out, and a forbidden kiss for me to know that Easton Kikishkin is it for me. And unless I want to lose Connor, Easton will never be mine.

When my little brother's best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt.

Book excerpt: Katarina Kelly is an emergency room physician assistant who has surrounded herself with friends and her job, as she's given up on the likes of men. This was beyond bad luck. The men of her past were heartless and cruel. They left her brokenhearted and alone with nothing but nightmares of their treatment of her to keep her company. She's sticking to book boyfriends from here on out. She's never going back there. Especially that arrogant orthopedic surgeon, Nicholas Barnes. That delectable divorced doctor is the last thing she needs. He's admittedly never getting into another relationship. Why on earth would she give him a second glance. Getting some decent sleep was much more important to her than men anyway. Maybe the sleeping pills her friend has offered will help. That and seeing a therapist. But what happens when the sleeping pills cause side effects she didn't anticipate? While some of these steamy dreams are okay, others are beyond perplexing. They are downright frightening. If only she could trust this handsome physician wouldn't break her heart like all of the rest.

And he could be the love of my life or my complete destruction.
