I'm scared. When will this nightmare end? Darkness and cold have tortured me. I can't remember anything. He's coming. His footsteps echo like a wrecking ball in my head. He's getting closer. Breathe. He's almost here. I must escape.

One wild night with a bad-boy billionaire led to two pink lines on a little blue stick. Now, three hot-as-sin hockey stars are saying I belong to them. Carter, the tattooed hottie with a body built for sin, was supposed to be a one-night escape. But now, I'm the Chicago Icebreakers' new physical therapist, and the team's golden boy is back in my life—setting me on fire every time he's near. His bruiser teammate Axel, my brother's best friend, is all smoldering charm and wicked grins. He's always been off-limits, except now he's looking at me like I'm his next goal.

I was just trying to rebuild my life after everything fell apart. Moving in with Troy—the grumpy hockey star—wasn't part of my fresh start plan. Neither was falling for him and his tattooed playboy roommate, Jamie—a goalie god with muscles for days. But these men came to my rescue… in the bedroom, the kitchen, against the wall... they rescued me again and again. I couldn't help but fall head over heels. When a surprise baby is dropped on their doorstep, it seems they need me as much as I need them.

I couldn't tell you when I fell in love with Owen Harper. I just always was. And still am. He was my first everything—first love, first kiss, and the only man who has left an indelible mark on my soul. I never thought that I'd call him anything but mine. But that was the thing about first loves. They weren't made to last. Owen was destined for greatness, and I couldn't be the one to stand in his way. So I broke both our hearts and walked away.

Her guardians are deadset on unlocking the information her parents buried in her mind, believing it to be the key to defeating the Serpent Brotherhood. Except Luna's finally found somewhere to settle down, a home, and answers to the questions her parents hid from her. The last thing she wants is to jeopardize that by releasing the evil inside her.

The only mistake I made was walking away instead of facing the man whose heart I broke. I ran away from the life I wasn't ready for, and in the process, lost everything I wanted. I tried to move on and failed epically. There's no moving on from Jake Findlay. Even if he thinks I have. Now that I'm home, I've got to fight my own battles and prove that I'm all grown up. Even if it means letting him in to break me all over again.

Three years ago, I had the hottest one-night stand in history with Finn, the brooding Pro Hockey Star. He broke the headboard, comforting my wounded heart. Turns out he's still reeling from my sneaky exit. Now, Finn's teammate, Declan, is my new boss. I need cash, and his daughter needs a nanny. Declan's a softy for his little girl. But between the sheets, he's a dominant beast. Then there's Chase, the ripped Veterinarian with ink spilling down his corded muscles. He stole my heart when he helped me rescue a lost puppy.

The wedding is quickly approaching, and I’m engaged to Mark, a man I don’t love. Don’t get me wrong. He’s sweet and kind, but a little too syrupy for my taste.

She needs stability, and I want to give her the absolute best life that I can. When my coworker stumbles onto a photo of my hot mistake, Madisyn confesses that she knows the Russian who knocked me up.

But Oleg Pavlov isn't a man who gives up easily.

The first time I meet Niall O'Rourke, he greets me, wearing little more than a scowl and a demeanor colder than the ice he skates on. I do my best to avoid him, that is, until he makes a proposition too good to refuse: I pretend to be his fiancee, and in return, he'll appear on my local television show. Despite our personalities clashing like hockey sticks, I discover beneath his brawny exterior is a man burdened by a complex past and a wounded heart.

Claudia I swore I would never fall for another hockey player. Not after a fling turned into a pregnancy, and when I offered him a chance to walk away, he took it. I can raise my daughter alone. I'd been raising myself for years. PhD completed and a job lined up, I didn't need him or his money...

We're known for our savagery. We run New York City. We control every inch of it, and anyone that gets in our way is executed. I protect the people from con artists and thugs like the cartel. But I'm not a good guy. I loathe thinking of myself as a vigilante. And did I mention that my little sister tried to put me behind bars? When a young woman's car breaks down in the rain, I'm feeling overly generous. I recognize her, she's a nurse from Steele Concierge Medical, at least that's what she wants me to believe.

It takes a lot more than getting shot in the head to kill a guy like me, but the bastards got me good. I’ll give it to them. They got me so good that when I finally wake up, I realize I’ve been in a coma for weeks.
