I played hard and lived even harder. At least until the mayor of River’s Bend got it in her head that the hockey players carousing through her small town in Nowhere, California were unwelcome. I couldn’t care less. My priorities were pucks, puck bunnies, and pucking my way to the top. Only…I underestimated the mayor and her intentions to clean up the town, the Rush, and end my streak through the town’s female population. I underestimated that her matchmaking abilities might be on point. I underestimated that her niece might be… The woman who would lay claim to my heart.

I’ve sworn off love…until her. The only problem? She can’t stand me. Gorgeous, single mom Ivy wants absolutely nothing to do with me. She thinks I’m a player—and maybe I am. She thinks I don’t take anything seriously—and maybe I don’t. She thinks I can never make her happy—but I’ve never been more focused on anything else. Not ever. Not even on hockey, and I live and breathe the sport. She doesn’t understand that she’s become my reason for existing— That if there’s any game in my life I’m willing to do anything to win… It’s claiming her heart as mine.

I signed the contract. I just didn't expect her to show up ten years later, ready to cash it in. I was in love with Luna for years, and now she's on my doorstep, demanding we get married... Twenty-Two is the first book in the brand new Grizzlies Hockey series.

She was supposed to just be another case. Another criminal. Instead, she stole her way into my heart. I had never met a bad guy I couldn’t take down, and I wasn’t about to start with Francesca Lyon. Her father ran one of the largest crime rings in the world, so while Frankie might be beautiful, smart, and driven, she wasn’t a woman I could ever fall for. Still, she wasn’t supposed to know about my involvement in the case, wasn’t supposed to look at me like I’d shattered her heart when she found out. But I had. And she did. Then—somehow—my future became less about the job and more about closing the case on her heart.

I’ve seen her. I’ve watched her. But…I can’t allow myself to have her. My job as the owner of an elite security company for celebrities and athletes alike means that I don’t have a problem putting myself in harm’s way to protect my clients. But I do have a problem when it’s Lauren who’s caught in the crossfire. Literally. I need to protect her. I need to keep her safe. I just… Can’t let my heart get involved. *This is Pascal and Lauren’s story and falls between Changed and Scored.

I had the world. Then he told me he wanted a divorce. I was the first female hockey player in the NHL. I’d broken barriers, kicked butt on the ice, made a family out of a group of grumpy misfits… But I couldn’t keep my marriage together. I wasn’t enough for the man who said he’d love me forever. And now, as strong as I wanted to pretend I was, I wanted to give up, move on, forget everything there was about Stefan. Only… Then I found out the real reason he’d left me. And I knew there had never been any game more important in my life than winning my ex-husband’s heart a second time.

I never wanted to settle down. Until she careened into my life. I'm a star forward for the Baltimore Breakers, and only interested in three things—pucks, food, and an ever-revolving door of women. Until Dommie. The woman is as smart as she is infuriating, and more stubborn than any person I have ever met. Her walls are thick and impenetrable and for the first time in my life, I want to break through every barrier in my way and get to the heart of a woman. Because…I like her. And I want her. But how can I convince her to let me keep her forever?

Kailey Henderson dealt in code. Well, code, social anxiety, and online gaming. What she didn’t deal in was sexy hockey players. And she certainly didn’t deal in sexy hockey players like Connor Smith. He was brass. He was loud. He was funny and charming and…ballsy. Kailey was about the furthest thing from ballsy someone could find. Connor didn’t seem to care. From the moment she’d showed up at the rink to help her friend set up a player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, he had led a campaign to win her heart. The thing was, Kailey didn’t actually want her heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigned, the more she resisted. And…the more she resisted and argued and pushed back, the more she found out that she actually could be ballsy. And the worst thing about that? It made Connor campaign even harder.

He was her mortal enemy. And…he’d decided she was his. She loved being a doctor. She didn’t love Connor Jackson. Picking. Poking. Prodding. The man had never met a button he didn’t like to push. And since Raven had never met a fight that she didn’t see through to the end, when she and Connor were together… Fireworks. Then she got hurt—really hurt—and Connor decided that she needed looking after. And that was when she discovered that maybe what she felt for Connor wasn’t hate at all.

She was everything he shouldn’t want. He was going to take her anyway. Once Lily had fit the role of an annoying little sister. But then she’d gone and grown up—become all woman and one he shouldn’t want. She was off-limits, or should be, anyway. She worked for the San Francisco Gold, worked for the same team he played for. But that wasn’t the only reason she was off-limits. Lily was the daughter of the man who had been more of a father than his own. So Will couldn’t have her, couldn’t risk taking her. Except…his body and heart weren’t listening to reason. Because Lily had become the woman he wanted more than anything else.
