But when Reed's world is suddenly flipped upside down and he gets custody of his nephew, I'm the only one who can help.
I shouldn't have offered to come on the road with them, but Reed wasn't cut out to be a single dad and I knew he needed help. I tried to hide my feelings for him, but the two of us, the cutest kid on the planet, and a long hockey season were a recipe for disaster.
Reed was used to getting everything he ever wanted, and this time . . . He wanted me. Only now, the stakes are higher and my heart is the one on the line.

Rule number one of hockey team ownership: don't sleep with the players.
Growing up Oliver Benson's daughter, I've known this rule all my life. And when I unexpectedly inherit the Nashville Devils, his hockey team, all eyes are on me-waiting for me to fail.
My eyes? They're on Lincoln Dallas, team captain and star right winger.
Who could blame me? That body. Those eyes. The way he moves on and off the ice. And when he gives me even the slightest touch, I find myself giving in.
But he's completely forbidden.
Not only would dating destroy both our careers, but our history left a bruise on my heart, and I never want to make that mistake again. Especially when it would compromise everything I've worked for.
He says he's willing to break the rules and risk it all. Am I?

I'm an up-and-coming popstar about to make the big time. We shouldn't be together. He's an old soul. I'm . . . well, nuts, but worlds collide when we come together. And between the sheets? Sweet, sinful skills, and stamina galore.
The problem? My manager says I shouldn't attach myself to a falling star, that it could kill my career before it starts.
I know heartbreak isn't required material for a singer. But the more I resist, the more it feels right. So. God. Damn. Right.
One shot at happily-ever-after. One risky play to bring it home.

I have a reputation for being tight-lipped. You learn quick when you become a professional hockey player to be guarded with the media, so I’ve worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.
But when I’m traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex–best friend is the starting right wing, I’m forced to confront my past. Ford and I have a lot of history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen.
My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her.

My mouth wants to keep apologizing.
She’s the only woman who ever made me want more. But she’s also the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes the next sexy standalone novel in the Campus Series.
Carson Roberts is Western University’s most sought after tight end. He’s the total package. A pretty face to go along with all those sculpted muscles—check. An All-American—double check. A guaranteed one-way ticket to the NFL after graduation—triple check.
Did I happen to mention that he’s also my brother’s best friend, which means I grew up with the guy and have crushed on him for nearly just as long?
We’re talking a decade of unrequited yearning. Don’t worry, I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that he’ll never see me as anything more than the little sis he never had.
Sort of.
And even if he did just so happen to notice that I’ve filled out and no longer wear braces, Brayden would have a major conniption. When it comes to the male species, he’s ridiculously overprotective. Any guy who has so much as given me a bit of side-eye has been treated to a swift and memorable beat down.
Which is precisely why I’m still in possession of my V-card.

Blurt out at a frat party that you’ve spent all these years saving yourself for him.

Oh. So. Wrong.

If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.

He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known.

I didn't go to Harvard to babysit an oversized toddler who can't control his temper, and I'm sure as hell not giving into his endless pickup lines and bad boy wiles. I'm a professional. I don't fall for guys like Ryder, even if he is a hundred kinds of hot-sinful, seductive, and oh so gorgeous.

There I was, working to get a rise out of my cranky little rule-following, fun-wrecking, soon-to-be ex-neighbor when my one-night stand from last season shows up... in labor. Next thing I know, I'm a single-dad begging for a crash course in caring for this tiny miracle from the neighbor who loves to hate me. It turns out Nora raised half her siblings. She knows things. And I know my son needs her. Unfortunately, she's not impressed by my NHL career, my legendary charm, or the rumors surrounding the size of my stick (all true btw). But I'm not trying to impress her-not anymore-I can't. I'm asking her to help me out. My son deserves better than some player who hasn't even had a chance to read the manual yet. And that means-no matter how hot I find her spitfire mouth and those rules she doesn't break-that Nora is off-limits.
