Home is where you make it.
Beau Hopper is good at goodbyes. A minor-league hockey player, he goes where the league tells him. Single and estranged from his family, Beau drifts without connections or commitments. He makes a living, not a life.

When Beau learns Connor might lose custody of his siblings if he can't finish the rebuild in time, he volunteers to help in exchange for a place to stay, and it isn't long before he finds himself in Connor's bed. It takes more than passion and plywood to build a home, so when the league comes calling after Beau, Connor can't ask him to stay . . . but how can he ever let him go?

Wanted: Discreet Dominant gentleman to teach maybe-submissive woman the rules of the game. No whips, chains, paddles, handcuffs, ropes, or toys. No nookie. No creepy stuff. No butt stuff. No gluten. Just the facts, Sir. -CuriousCat4
When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative's 'Love Wanted' section, 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 and reading that ad is the first time I've laughed in months.
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. But I never back down from a challenge--on or off the ice.
I keep my educational offer on the table--six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends.

Fine. Forbidden.
He wants me. I want him.
But my past, my fraudulent prince, just won't let me go.

Waiting for the right guy.
Ella Couture didn't mean to save herself. But success runs in the family and Ella, a fiery and self-made interior decorator, never wanted to settle for anything less than a quality man.
But another disappointing breakup has Ella flirting with idea of a meaningless fling-because this whole v-card business has gone on for way too long.
When Ella visits her brother Lance for the weekend, she finds herself all alone with his teammate, Radar. The rugged hockey star is tall, chiseled and gorgeous-and based on his past, he won't get attached.
It's a nice fantasy . . . but Ella isn't the type of girl to sleep with her brother's best friend.
That's what she keeps telling herself, anyway . . .
Live by the code, die by the code.
On the ice, tough guy 'Radar' enforces the code of the game with his fists. And he won't let anyone mess with the team's superstar center, Lance Couture.
Radar might sleep around, but he knows to keep his distance when Lance's sister visits the two roommates at their Boston condo. The code has a rule about family members, after all: they're strictly off-limits.
Not that Radar's worried about breaking that rule-he's already heard an earful about how insane his best bud's younger sis is.
But Lance never said anything about Ella being a cute babe with an adorable laugh.
And he definitely never said anything about how she's finally ready to lose her v-card . . .
But if Radar can't keep his hands off Ella, not only will he stab his best friend in the back-he'll ruin everything he's worked for.
So why can't he get that girl out of his mind?

Sure, she just saved my ass. So why do I get the feeling Brooke's going to turn my world upside down? Maybe it's because this fake relationship feels way too real. . . .

Two things I love: baseball and Lacey Stark. Back in college, I had them both. But after graduation, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I let Lacey go.
Five years later, I can't complain. A Cy Young winner, I've achieved what I set out to do-pitching in the Major Leagues. Life is great.

Lacey seems determined to stay away, but we belong together. I know this. I just need to convince her to give me another chance. Because one thing is guaranteed, I won't stop until she's back in my arms.
