What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there. I would know.I'm coming home with a brand-new ring on my finger. My wife: Ryan Bell. We're polar opposites. She's sunshine and happiness.I'm grumpy and scarred— literally.We could get it annulled and no one would be the wiser. Only problem? We posted about it online, and it's already making headlines.I can't afford to get that kind of attention and tank my career, and Ryan needs my he...

I'm having the definition of a bad year. Game Six loss costing my team the Cup? Check.Getting arrested and ruining my image? Check.Almost getting run over after my car breaks down? Oh, look - a hat trick.My contract is up with the Carolina Comets this year, and I need to get it together if I want to stay with the team. I need relaxation, not a relationship. But when I'm scrolling on a dat...

Don't fall for your enemy...especially when he's your new roommate.Dean Evans is the worst. Not only does the devil in disguise steal my pie on a regular basis, he also lives in the apartment right. Next. Door.I see him all the time. At the mailboxes. In the elevator. Every single morning. It's exhausting...because he's exhausting.Now, after setting his apartment on fire, he's my roommate...and he's the worst at that, too. I don't know what possesse...

"I'm pregnant." That's what my teammate's sister-in-law told me after our one-night stand.I didn't expect to see Hollis again, let alone end up raising a child with her. We set some ground rules—we'll raise the baby together, but that's it.No relationship, no future, and definitely no kissing.But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep track of where the lines were once drawn. I'm known for my one-timer on and off the ice,...

A wrong number is supposed to be just that—a wrong number.Delete. Done.Do not continue to text. Do not flirt.A wrong number shouldn't be the first person on your mind in the morning, or the last at night . . . and you're definitely not supposed to talk them into buying a baby goat.Because that would be weird.When Zach Hastings and I get into a wrong-number mix-up, we don't follow the rules. We keep texting and flirting, because he's...

I have two goals this season: 1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents. 2. Stay single.I'm right on track . . . until she happens. Auden Sinclair.We're stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that's all the promise we make—one night, then we go our separate ways.Except she pops up again. Then again.Suddenly, she’s everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life an...

I should stay away.Emilia Anderson is the team's social media manager, and there are strict rules about not fraternizing with the staff. It doesn't matter that we already accidentally broke them—we can't let it happen again.Besides, my time in the NHL is winding down, and this is my last shot at winning the Cup. I need to focus on the game, not some girl I have no business chasing.She's ten years younger than me.She's the assistant coach's n...

Don't fall for your roommate...especially when he's your best friend.Cooper Bennett is my best friend. That's all he is and all he ever will be. Nothing will change that. Accidentally seeing him naked? Please. So not a big deal. Having less-than-tame thoughts? I mean, have you seen this guy? Who could blame me? Kissing him? It was a one-time mistake, and it will not be repeated.Falling into bed with him? Uh-oh....It's fine. We're fine. We're Carolin...

Most people would probably be embarrassed to land themselves back in their hometown and working at a pizzeria after an ugly divorce.Not me.It's home, and I have one last shot to make Wren Daniels see me as more than just her brother's best friend.When the opportunity to show her what's been right in front of her this whole time presents itself, I take it, holding nothing back this time.Wren thinks we're pretending, but there's nothing fake about the way I fe...

Don't fall for your roommate...especially when it's only temporary.Nolan Brooks is off-limits. Sure, he's insanely attractive and funny, and I might have almost gone home with him one night to relieve a little stress. Big deal. It was all just a momentary lapse in judgment...just like the kiss we shared.He's my temporary roommate while I wait for my new apartment to be ready. That's it. He's doesn't do relationships, and he doesn't do attachments. So what i...

Scoring on the ice? Piece of cake.Scoring off it? Well, there's a reason I'm still a virgin.I'm not entirely clueless about women, though I do tend to put my foot in my mouth around them far too often. Like I did with Scout, the donut maker I stupidly introduced myself to despite visiting her truck for years. Maybe my teammates have a reason to call me the dumb one, but I'm determined to prove them all wrong—Scout included.I want to...

Don't fall for your coworker...especially when he's your roommate.Sutton Barnes thinks he's prince charming, but he's really the prince of hell. He's egotistical. A user. A complete douchecanoe. And unfortunately now my coworker.Did I mention he's also my new roommate?It's all because I can't turn down a challenge. I never have, and I won't start now. When Sutton bets me I can't live in the same apartment as him and resist the temptation...well, gam...
