From bestselling author Lisa Lang Blakeney comes a sweet and sexy stand-alone friends to lovers romance set in the world of professional football.
Olivia: I was the new kid, in a small town, who didn't fit in when I met Mason Bridgewater. He was big, bossy, and almost knocked me out cold when we first met.
Our friendship grew, and a love grew greater out of that, but now I've ruined it. Will he ever speak to me again?
Mason: I was the golden boy, from a small town, whose entire world was rocked when I met Olivia Robertson. She talked differently, she acted differently, and I knew pretty quickly that I'd never meet a girl like her again.
Our friendship was unbreakable, our attraction undeniable, and our love unforgettable . . . or so I thought. The girl who meant everything threw me away like I meant nothing. Will she ever love me again?
Contains mature themes.
He's known as Father Anton to his teammates-the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL's Chicago Blaze has a reputation for . . . not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov's on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She's his teammate's wife, after all.
Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she's finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she's been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn't plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can't demand a divorce with such a high cost.
A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he'd get. And while she's drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia's leery about playing with fire. That's all Anton has ever known for Mia, though-a living, burning desire that won't be denied-no matter the cost.

My brother's best friend is a sex god, and it's time to even the score . . .
Austin James was always my #1 crush-and off-limits-until a college hook-up showed me he was every bit the playboy his rock-star reputation promised. Now, he's back after a mysterious break from the spotlight, offering an exclusive profile that could make any journalist's career.
And he picks me.
Two weeks to land the scoop of a lifetime? I'm not about to let a little unresolved sexual tension stand between me and my big break. Okay, a lot of sexual tension.
Can I figure out Austin's secrets-before they break my heart? And will this off-limits romance find a way to become something real?

The headline could write itself: Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves. Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker-it makes her job as publicist for the team easier.
There are only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush. The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister.
It's been ten years since Ava has seen Matthew. He's bigger, better looking, and best of all-completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn't so one-sided anymore. It's hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle.
But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family-because once her heart is involved, there's no predicting the ending.
Contains mature themes.
I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die.
It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.
We survived. I came. And then he left without telling me who he was.
On the first day of my job, I stood in front of the Vancouver Wolves hockey team and called out a number. #33. Imagine my shock when he skated forward.
Max is an incredible hockey player, whose wild, out-of-control antics have almost derailed his career. So many secrets shroud his past and continue to threaten his future. Now he's my secret. And that secret could ruin everything.

A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary romance from the author of Intercepted.
Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work, she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person.
T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties, and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved on.
When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship.
Gunslinger: A quarterback who throws deep risky passes on the field and off . . .
I hate sports, and he is football royalty. I like quiet and predictable, but he's sex and swagger personified. I didn't particularly care for Saint Stevenson the first moment I laid eyes on him, but his warped brain seemed to process our initial meeting as foreplay.
I have a meticulous five year plan in place for myself and my career, but now this huge, cocky, self-absorbed quarterback who I've been assigned to at work is seriously f*cking it up.
He's the ultimate player on and off the field, and it doesn't make any sense that I'm falling hard and fast for the arrogant baller; but there doesn't seem to be anything about our love story that makes any sense at all.

From bestselling author Lisa Lang Blakeney, comes a new standalone, billionaire boss romance set in the world of professional football.
Ursula: How many ways do I need to say-I quit? My family thinks I'm crazy, my astrology chart says it's a mistake, but after three years of carefully molding the highly narcissistic Cooper Barnes into the 'athlete influencer' of the year- I quit.
He won't care anyway. Whether they work for him or sleep with him, women have always been expendable to the billionaire baller. Even me.
Cooper: What is wrong with Ursula Owens? It's like she woke up one day this whole new person. A woman I don't recognize.
One day she was my quirky, highly organized assistant, happily managing my entire life for me. The next she is handing in her resignation with no warning and no good reason.
Good thing I know what I want. I may have met her by chance, but I'm keeping her by choice. Just maybe our love story is fated after all.
