Puck boy? I'll take it. Heck, I've been called a lot worse.Good time? You know it. Just ask anyone at Brooks University.From a young age, the only thing in life I've ever taken seriously is hockey. I'm not the guy anyone—besides family and teammates—can count on. This is all true. At least, until a certain curly-haired, blue-eyed goddess comes to me looking for an easy hookup. And hook her up I do.But what's supposed to be a one-night stand doesn't ...

My name is Grace Degas Black.Years ago, I made a splash during a charity fashion show where an agent discovered me. My work led to the glitzy world of haute couture, perfume ads, and more. I was living my best life, traveling the world, and the only thing that would have made it better was if my twin had come along for the ride. My other half. My best friend.Then one day, she disappeared.I couldn't escape that sinking feeling of something being terr...

I've existed only in the shadows.My only connections were forged through the veil of a computer screen. I was their voice in the dark, their operator. I was their lifeline—until the day my past tore into my present, and they had to become mine.Captured, subjected to torture and relentless interrogation, I survived long enough for them to find me. I harbor no delusions; fleeing and disappearing again is not an option.The only way to win is to fight. ...

"Patch online…"Five years ago, I disappeared from the life I had and built this one. I spend my days and most of my nights on the line, helping my clients achieve their goals. They call me when they are in a jam or are getting ready to move on a target.I'm their information specialist. The woman in the chair. I'm their switchboard.Intelligence, electronic eyes, computer hacking—I do it all. My singular goal is to bring my clients home safely. Some c...

They say the line that separates love from hate is thin. So thin, in fact, that the two almost coexist. Almost.It's also been said that when a dude is a jerk to a girl, it's because, deep down, he wants her. I'm calling bullshit on all of it.Tate Tracy is about to find out that I'm not the nice boy anymore. Nor am I a forgiving person. She might have been my best friend for eighteen years, but now, she's no one. And if I have to remind her of that, I will. ...

Angry. Wild. Loose cannon.As one of college hockey's most feared defensemen, I've been told I'm all those things and more. The ice is the only place where I can take my anger out on other people and get applauded for it. The rougher I play, the dirtier I am, the more praise I get.I suppose the same could be said about me in the bedroom. I'm not the dude you want your daughter bringing home to meet you. Because your angel? Well, I'll make sure her halo is cr...

Of all the dreams I'd ever chased, the last thing I expected was for a nightmare to be the one that came true.I'm no stranger to survival. I've always acted a lot tougher than I am, but I'm a big believer in fake it until you make it. But even I couldn't imagine the relentless pursuit of my former kidnappers, and the only thing standing in their way is four calculating and dangerous men.Each time I think I've found some measure of relief, a new danger threa...

I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates.By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldn't get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.Life was great—until it wasn't. When I was seventeen, my best friend died in my arms. Nothing made sense after that. Drinking turned to smoking. And smoking turned to pills. But no matter how high I got, I couldn't erase that night....

When my parents took me to a hockey camp as a kid, they never dreamed it would take me off the path of becoming a doctor, like everyone else in the family.Unfortunately for them, the moment I stepped into that arena and onto that ice, there was no going back.Fast-forward to my junior year at Brooks University, and I've got one shot to make it to the pros. It's now or never. Because if I don't? Hello, medical school. Goodbye, skates.The season gets e...

The closer I get to the truth, the further away it feels. Every step I take is met with resistance—not just from the monsters still chasing me, but from the very men who have sworn to protect me. Especially Bones.Cold. Controlled. Ruthless.He watches me like I'm the problem he's been ordered to solve, not the woman desperate to find her missing sister. And maybe I am the problem—because I won't stop. Not for him. Not for anyone.But when a lead surfa...
