It was supposed to be simple. Fake date campus hockey royalty to make my long-time crush look my way. Enter Kieran O’Connor—star winger and campus legend. Devastating good looks. Cocky dialed to eleven. The kind of guy who always gets what he wants. He needs help passing a class. I need a fake boyfriend. We make a deal. I write the rules in permanent marker: no touching, no kissing, no feelings. But Kieran O’Connor doesn’t do rules. His grin is a blade. His hands? Pure trouble. Somewhere between late-night problem sets and his number stretched across my shoulders, I forget we’re pretending.

When an injury brings her back to her family’s Montana ranch, Hazel tells herself it’s temporary. Help her aunt. Lend a hand. Then leave before the past catches up with her. There’s just one problem. Eli Dawson. Her childhood best friend. The neighboring rancher who’s been quietly keeping Clarke Ranch running. The man she walked away from without a word the morning after they finally crossed the line from friendship to something more. Eli isn’t chasing her anymore. He’s steady. Guarded. And done risking his heart on someone who already proved she could leave.

Yakov Gagarin was Bratva royalty. A ruthless tactician. A man built to destroy. Until the day it all went wrong—and the syndicate locked him in a cage. Dr. Mila Agapova is the one assigned to fix him. But Yakov doesn’t want fixing. He wants her. Sharp-tongued, unshakable, utterly off-limits—She’s everything he shouldn’t touch. But obsession doesn’t care about boundaries. And Yakov has never been a man who plays by the rules.

One wild night gave me more than just regrets. Six years ago, I walked away from Igor Sokolov—New York’s most dangerous Bratva prince—and vowed never to look back. Or so I thought. Now, he’s found me. And worse, he’s discovered my biggest secret: our daughter. Igor doesn’t ask. He takes. With ruthless determination, he drags us back to New York, claiming it’s the only way to keep us safe. Safe from his enemies, maybe. But not from him. He’s possessive, demanding, and dangerously irresistible. And he’s made one thing crystal clear: I’m his.

She strikes a simple deal to save her grandfather. But dragons don’t make deals—they claim. And this one is fated to ruin her. Allie: I was supposed to escape the shadiest district of Avari after graduation and start fresh. Instead, my mom was murdered. My grandfather is in prison. Our home’s about to be foreclosed. And now I’ve made a deal with a dragon. A savage, tattooed, seven-foot-tall dragon shifter, imprisoned in the same hellhole as Grandpa.

Emmy has always felt out of place—haunted by vivid dreams, drawn to people she shouldn’t want, and burdened by a quiet sense that something inside her is waking up. When strange deaths begin rippling through her small town and her long-buried memories start to surface, Emmy is forced to confront the truth: she is not who she thought she was—and neither are the people closest to her.

Galina Olenko is the reason he was disgraced and exiled. He should hate her. But obsession is a twisted thing, and after a year in a Siberian prison, it’s only grown stronger. She is his greatest downfall. His deepest fixation. She should be nothing to him—but Vasiliyi has never been a man who lets go of what’s his.

Nate Russo is the New York Defenders’ grumpy, brick-wall goalie—one bad stretch from losing his season. Enter Eden Carver, the physical therapist brought in to save his career…and the one girl who’s always lived under his skin.

Since I was a little girl, I've known the fairy tale I've wanted to live. Grow up. Fall in love. Get married to a man who will dance with me in the kitchen and kiss me for no reason. Have a big family and live happily ever after. There's just one problem—men suck. What's a southern girl have to do to find her future husband? It's certainly not on the dating apps, so I do something out of my comfort zone—I ask my step sister to set me up. And what does she deliver? A six-foot-two, sexy as sin football coach who has a fear of commitment. Great. The definition of my Prince Charming.

Finn O’Reilly doesn’t follow rules. But even he knows you don’t hook up with the coach’s daughter. She was a one-night mistake he’d make a thousand times over. He knew she’d bolt. He just didn’t expect her to ghost him completely. And he definitely didn’t expect her to show up again…pregnant. Jessica Novak doesn’t lose control. Not in the boardroom. Not on the ice. And definitely not with a grinning, cocky forward who specializes in bad decisions and worse timing. But one night in Montreal, she let go—and let him in. Now he’s back in her orbit.

Four scorching hot hockey players. Four sizzling enemies-to-lovers couples. Four interconnected standalone stories that will melt the ice. Grab these steamy, full-length hockey romances in one heart-pounding collection!

She's the definition of don’t even think about it. Look up off-limits in the dictionary, and not only is her name there—it’s underlined, bolded, and signed by her dad. And yet, here I am. Kissing my coach’s daughter against a wall where anyone could see us. Easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Starting a fight on the ice? Sure. Taking a slapshot to the ribs and playing through it? Not my brightest moment. But this? It’s the kind of mistake that could end me. And the craziest part? I’d do it again. Because if Sophie Novak is a mistake… She’s the only one I ever want to make.

Getting engaged wasn’t on my Santa list. I wanted cocoa, fuzzy socks, maybe eight hours of sleep. Not a fake fiancé with forearms that have their own fan base and a smile that ruins common sense. My grandmother’s will says: “engaged by New Year’s or lose the twelve-million-dollar trust.” So I do what any not-panicking, rational woman would: I proposition my coworker.

Dmitri Sokolov doesn't lose control. Until his daughter’s nanny quits days before playoffs—and Erin O’Connor steps in to help. The Captain's baby sister. Too young. Too tempting. Too damn off-limits. But now she's in his home—close, distracting, and turning his world upside down.

I just married the hockey league’s hottest player. Only catch? He has no idea. I never meant to hitch Ken Edwards. OK. I totally did. I just wasn’t planning on him finding out. It was a desperate move to save my restaurant, but now he’s onto me and refusing to play along. Between his scorching looks and my traitorous hormones, keeping things strictly business is like trying to diet in a chocolate factory.

Thirty years ago, something horrible happened to the love of her life, and she was forced to pay for it. Now, sitting in a confessional rigged to blow if the Father makes one wrong move, only the truth can set her free. It all began with Jenna and Sam, two cringey young lovers determined to find happiness together, but cursed to be forever kept apart. One was born and raised to serve her country. The other—is a brat.
