Puck Buddies

Bree Marks is my best friend... My secret crush… And—wait for it—cursed with a deadly allergy to erecto-plasm. As in she’ll seriously swell up and die if seminal fluid even touches her. Which means finding the perfect guy to punch her V card is literally a matter of life and death. She wants a no-strings summer fling, but she needs someone she can trust. A puck buddy who isn’t going to get overly emotional. Someone who’s as savvy in the sack as he is on the ice. That’s where I come in. It’s a simple request, really—and one I would be happy to honor. If it weren’t for the whole life-and-death thing. If I hadn’t just been traded to a team thousands of miles away from this girl who makes me think not all relationships are a losing game. If I wasn’t already crazy in love with her. This arrangement is a disaster waiting to happen, but the heart wants what it wants, and mine wants Bree, danger and all.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... Or in the state of Kirby Lawrence, a woman who is NOT attracted to her best friend, bad boy rock star, Colin Donovan. Not even a little bit! No matter how good his butt looks in those jeans… Crap, I’m looking at his butt. Colin’s butt! And the butterflies in my stomach are discoing now. Discoing! I avert my eyes, but it’s too late. I've already had thoughts I shouldn’t have had, and flutters that shouldn’t have fluttered. And I have a horrible feeling there’s no coming back from this. No going back to the way things were before I realized that a part of me wants to climb my best buddy like a tree and make out with his sexy face… Meet Colin and Kirby in this fun, flirty prequel to THE BANGOVER! (The Bangover is available now.)

Contains three HOT Hockey Rom Coms Including PUCK ME BABY "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. 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-swoon-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? PUCKED UP LOVE When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative’s “Love Wanted” section looking for a submissive instructor, I can’t resist the urge to respond. Yes, it’s dangerous—as a star forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect—but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom. So I reach out to Curious Cat about the “educational” opportunity... A few sizzling—and hysterical—emails later we arrange to meet. I’m hoping we’ll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend. And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey. My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated.

Thou shalt not bang your best friend. That commandment would be a lot easier if Maddie wasn’t the sexiest siren ever to wade into a tide pool. Or if I was good at resisting temptation. I’m the troublemaker, the firefighter who enjoys getting a little too close to the flames. And the trouble is double, since Maddie’s sister is about to marry my brother. That makes a tryst even riskier. But it’s cool—we’ll keep our bang-a-palooza a secret from our siblings and keep things casual, so no one gets hurt. The problem? Nothing about this thing with Maddie feels casual. From the electricity between us to the way my heart flips when she smiles—everything I feel for her is intense. But can we handle the heat when my past—and hers—suddenly come back to haunt us…

I’ve waited years for my drop-dead sexy boss, Tristan Hunter, to notice me as something other than his right-hand gal. But though his dog is deeply in love with me, Tristan and I seem doomed to the friend zone. Until the night we kiss… It’s all a ruse, of course—our make-out session is for the benefit of the two heartbreakers who dumped us—but very real sparks fly when his lips meet mine. At least…they’re real for me. *** She’s my employee, one of my best friends, my dog Luke’s not-so-secret crush, and totally off-limits. So why am I suddenly unable to think of anything but Zoey Childers? Two days into our fake engagement and I’m dying to take her to bed and show her just how real the heat could be between us. But crossing that line wouldn’t just be borderline unethical—it could be lethal to our friendship. Zoey isn’t a casual fling kind of girl, and after the way things ended with my ex, I don’t trust my instincts when it comes to love. I should call off this fake engagement before somebody gets hurt, but how to say “no” to something real with Zoey when every bone in my body is dying to say “yes”?

Pop Quiz: You just banged a rock star you vowed to loathe until the end of time. What’s next? Hint: You don’t agree to be his fake girlfriend. And you certainly don’t fall in love… Once upon a time, Cutter Comstock was the hot older boy who tormented me in high school. Fast forward thirteen years and I find myself in his bed, riding him like the last stud at the sex rodeo… Needless to say, mistakes have been made… But as a chef, I turn food flops around all the time. I can turn this around, too. All I have to do is ignore the insufferably gorgeous (and generally insufferable) Cutter until he goes on tour. Too bad my nemesis has other plans. Cutter wants my help winning back the one who got away and he knows just the bait to dangle—the chance to open my own restaurant in a dream location. I can pull off pretending to be the devil’s devoted girlfriend in order to make my dreams come true. Right? But what happens when my dreams start to include the clever, funny, unexpectedly sweet man Cutter has become?

So let me get this straight... For the next few days I’ve got myself a grumpy fake husband who’s also kind of my...bodyguard? I guess that’s a better way to spend the weekend than binge-watching reality television, especially since it’s kind of my fault we’re on the run from the mob and I need a protector. Oops. But why does the man watching my back have to be my lifelong crush? I've known Matty McGuire since we were kids and crushed on this stubborn, bossy, secretive, but loyal and heroic man nearly as long. I'm determined to keep that part to myself, of course. But once we're fake Mr. and Mrs., soon we're not only sharing a hotel room but a hot kiss and an even hotter night between the sheets. I'm over the moon, but when Matty's secrets turn out to be the kind that could get a girl tossed into the Witness Protection Program, I realize I'm also in over my head. Can we find a way to make love work in the real world? Or will this one, red-hot weekend on the run from the mob be our first...and our last? Welcome to Bad Dog where the men are incredible, the animals are ridiculous, and the happy ever afters are super emotional and steamy! Kind of a Sexy Jerk is a Standalone Romance with Spice!

Love is overrated and I have the third-degree relationship burns to prove it, courtesy of my ex. I’m done with romance. Then I meet the world’s funniest, sexiest lady firefighter and all my “staying single” plans go up in smoke. The problem? Faith’s even more gun shy when it comes to love than I am. But I have a plan. First, I’ll prove to Faith that she can trust me with her heart. Next, I’ll keep showing up until she believes it. In just a few weeks, we’re both falling hard, and I’m positive I’ve found the woman I've been waiting for. Then my past comes back to haunt me in a way I never imagined possible, putting my future at risk. But I'm not about to give up on forever with Faith, not without one hell of a fight.
