Ein Crack auf dem Eis - eine Niete in der LiebeUm das Image seines Teams aufzupolieren, stimmt Eishockeystar Caleb Stuckey zu, bei einer PR-Kampagne mitzumachen: fünf Dates mit einer Frau, die seine Mutter für ihn ausgesucht hat - alles unter den Augen der Öffentlichkeit. Zum Glück hat Zara Ambrose ihre eigenen Gründe, bei diesem Stunt mitzumachen, und Caleb ist heilfroh, dass sie nicht auf einen Ehemann aus ist. Doch schon bei ihrer ersten Begegnung vergisst er alle seine guten Vorsätze, und der NHL-Profi verliebt sich bei jedem Date ein bisschen mehr in die temperamentvolle Rothaarige - und das alles live im Fernsehen ...-
KADEN:
My teammates think she's married. I think it's more than that.
Other than her name, I don't know anything about her, but I can't get enough of her. She's my obsession, my world, my everything. If only she would let me in, tell me why she's terrified, why she stays in the shadows, why she can't be seen in public.
Then, as quickly as she came into my life, she disappears.
DELANEY:
As the daughter of a powerful politician, I was my boyfriend's perfect alibi until I wasn't. My life is in danger, and I have no choice but to disappear.
I met Kaden in a bar, and the attraction was instant. We can't keep our hands off each other, but I'm careful not to tell him too much. He can't know who I am or why I'm running. My safety—and his—depends on it. Then my ex's conviction is overturned, he's out of prison, and witnesses are dying. I have to run again and leave behind the one man I'll never forget.
But fate has a way of interfering, and this time, leaving isn't so easy.

With the possibility of a final competition in his future, the pressure is on Adam to perform; to leave on a high note. Long hours practicing at the beach and weeks away from his family at exotic locations only causes more turmoil between him and Lindsay. Until finally, the stress reaches a boiling point and someone gets burned.
Ripped is a stand-alone spin-off in the New York Times bestselling Shattered Hearts Series.
Reid Durand isn't here to make friends. Coming from a legacy of hockey greatness, he has games to win and things to prove. With his focus during his first season as a Chicago Rebel purely on his drive to succeed, every vice is off the table-no booze, no sugar, and definitely no women. Kennedy Clark is the master of the side hustle. She'll walk your dog, brew your espresso, and pick up your dry-cleaning, all while rocking it in Warrior pose. Standing still is impossible for her because the moment she starts to slow down, it'll all come rushing back: the memories, the pain, the heartbreak. Their meet-cute is more of a freeze-cute. Besides, they already know each other. He's the rude, entitled customer at her coffee shop, or what used to be her coffee shop since she just got fired... because of Mr. Extra Shot Americano himself. Reid didn't intend to get her fired. He also didn't intend to rescue a dog after the poor thing ended up in the lake. And he definitely didn't intend to acquire a new roommate-a curvy, chatty, tempting roommate. Now this perfect storm of events is about to wreak havoc on his neatly ordered life, so he's certainly not going to lose his heart to a puppy, a team, or a chaos agent like Kennedy. But then again, we don't always get what we want...
"Rachel Reid crafted a story of true heart, beauty, heat, and glorious, hard-won redemption! I loved both heroes and their journey to love was a gorgeous one to watch!" - Lauren Blakely, #1 NYT Bestselling author of Scoring With Him
The highly anticipated fifth novel in Rachel Reid's Game Changers series sees a grumpy professional hockey player meet his match in an out-and-proud social media manager…
The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal… Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He doesn't want to be in the news anymore, and he definitely doesn't want to "work on his online presence" with the team's peppy social media manager.
Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn't happy about the trade-anyone could tell, frankly, as he doesn't exactly hide it well-but Harris doesn't give up on people easily. Even when he's developing a crush he's sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy's smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior, well… That's a man Harris couldn't turn his back on if he wanted to.
Suddenly, Troy's move to the new team feels like an opportunity-for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to surrender to their growing attraction. But indulging in each other behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all . . . No falling in love.
Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy, right?
Too bad he's committed to making her break every rule . . .
Football has been good to Drew. It's given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there's one problem: she's shut him down. Completely.
That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it's up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she's truly hooked. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

Trouble.
One word that comes to mind when someone talks about me. I like to think of it as protection, watching out for the ones I love. But now I’m spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice and the team owner isn’t happy.
Finding myself across the room from the hot therapist I kissed on New Year’s Eve only makes me push my problems down further. I want couch time with her but not the kind she’s used to.
I decide to lie to her just to finish off my therapy so I can do what I really want—date her—even if she says she doesn’t date hockey players. Just when my therapy sessions are up and I’ve made some headway with Paisley, it’s my parents who throw another wrench in my plans.
If I abide by my parent’s wishes to marry the one they’ve chosen, I’ll lose Paisley forever. But if I go against my parents, I’m failing my deceased best friend all over again.
