Three HOT Standalone hockey rom coms including… HOT AS PUCK The things I want to do to my sweet, kindergarten-teaching, mitten-crocheting best friend Libby Collins are ten different kinds of wrong. Maybe twenty. But I'm a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first sex lesson, we've graduated to a hands on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn't a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses. Give me a month, and I'll transform Libby from wall flower to wall banger, and ensure she's confident enough to seduce any guy she wants. Problem is... the only guy I want her seducing is me. SEXY MOTHERPUCKER Laura Collins is the last woman I should be thinking about taking in the back seat of my car, in the woods behind my in-laws' house, or in a hotel room where we're sharing one very small, very squeaky bed. I need a steady, stable influence for my daughter, not a fling with this too wild, too young, too impulsive red head. So what if she's beautiful and intense and passionate and has the biggest heart I've ever known? I don't want to fall in love. I really don't. The whole "pretend girlfriend" thing was supposed to solve my problems, buy me a little more time. But when it comes to Laura? Hell, maybe I'm just not cut out for faking it. PUCK AHOLIC I hate my new roommate… And I want to do dirty, delicious things to her in that swing she installed that we both know has nothing to do with aerial yoga. Neither of which is good, considering Diana Daniels is my NHL team captain's little sister, and he will break my face if I'm not a perfect gentleman. I try to be. Really, I do. But Diana has all sorts of Jedi mind tricks to make a man obsessed with getting her into bed, and I'm not gonna lie--I fall for every single one of them. Especially the one where she warns me not to fall for her.

From the New York Times bestselling author who brought you the scorchingly sexy stuntmen of Renegades--Skye Jordan delivers another sizzling series starring her mouthwatering brand of high-octane heroes. Introducing the Rough Riders' Hockey Series."The intense, tight-knit men of the Rough Riders' hockey team will win readers over in a heartbeat." ~Marina Adair, #1 Bestselling Author The pressure has never been more intense for Rough Riders' star defenseman Beckett Croft. With his contact expiring, Beckett has to live up to his badass reputation every minute of every game to earn the next big deal. A deal that will secure a stable home for his five-year-old daughter. So when an injury on the ice threatens to send him to the ER, he fights protocol-until the feisty EMT refuses to take no for an answer. Beckett likes his women assertive, and the spark between them is nothing short of scorching. Her indifference to his fame and money only intrigues him more. And by the time he peeks beneath her tightly sealed edges to see her beautiful but deeply wounded soul, he's in way too deep to pull back.After years of shutting herself off from men, Eden is tempted by the heat that blazes when she is around the NHL's most notorious bad boy-even toying with an inkling of "what if". But life has taught her how painfully that kind of fire burns. And how deeply it scars. So Eden denies the spark room to grow, the same way she shut out the violence from her past, focusing instead on her career and finishing paramedic school. She'll never rely on a man for money or security again.But when the heat between them becomes too hot to ignore, one night isn't enough. Soon, Beckett and Eden find themselves caught between desire and fear-with painful pasts pulling them in one direction and a fragile new love pulling them in another. All while the family and careers that matter most hang in the balance.

"You're going to be a daddy." Looking up into Alexi Petrov’s dark eyes as I break the news, I’m scared out of my mind. This man is the most terrifying defender in the NHL, and if it weren't for my sporty new baby bump, I probably wouldn't believe we hooked up that night. (Yes, I’ve sworn off margaritas for life.) But the Alexi who goes to my doctor appointments, moves me into his guesthouse, and cooks me so many gourmet meals I look like I'm carrying twins? He isn’t scary at all. He’s sweet. And intense. And so sexy I want to smear him with honey and lick it off every inch of his powerful, protective, oh-so-swoony-worthy body. But that’s not a part of our relationship anymore. We’re friends who intend to raise a child together. That’s all… Right? **** There’s no way I can be just friends with Amanda Esposito. She’s everything I want in a woman—strong, sexy, compassionate, a little bit wild—with curves for miles and a smile she smiles just for me. But no matter how much I want her, I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to be that guy—the one with his heart on his sleeve. I learned the hard way that love can get real ugly, real fast. But when my new family is threatened, I realize how much I want this woman and our baby in my life for the long haul, and how hard I’m willing to fight for them. They say I’m a dangerous man to cross on the ice, but they haven’t seen anything yet…

Can Blake overcome his commitment issues in time to save our fake marriage? I'm house-sitting for my brother and watch the oh-so-hot neighbor move in and make sure I'm up at the crack of dawn just to watch him jog by the picture window of this mini-mansion. We have an awkward introduction and the next thing I know, I'm on a vacation to a tropical island for "work" before pre-season hockey begins. Blake doesn't know I need him for research for the book I'm secretly writing for my next career attempt. The next in a string of many career attempts trying to get out from my famous hockey-playing brother's shadow. Besides, my brother got me this gig not knowing who I would be assigned to and he's away on his honeymoon.

Now, I'm technically 'off the market' with all these hotties walking around for the charity event because we're 'together'. I'm terrible with details and forget to obtain a special visa which leaves me looking at a rough toss into the gulag if I try to leave. But Blake won't go without me because he's a gentleman like that. Our only solution is to get hitched, so we can both make it back to Maine before the first hockey puck flies. No one needs to know we're married so we strike a deal and all is good. Or is it? My best-laid plan goes awry because when we step off the plane, and the world knows our secret and our fake marriage becomes a real one. It's not long before my sponsors come crawling back to me now that I am associated with a famous hockey star and this last name is a commodity they can capitalize on. I can get my old life back! However, when he's away on road trips I miss him. And when he doesn't complain about my cooking disasters, I realize I've fallen hard for this hockey hottie. But has he fallen for me? This is a fake relationship, close proximity, off-limits situation. HEA guaranteed. Links to free short, sample chapters of another book, and a bonus scene included for your reading enjoyment.
