De grootste bad boy van de Hockey League staat op het punt verliefd te worden op zijn beste vriendin.Libby.Ik ben 's werelds grootste loser wat betreft daten. Op mijn laatste afspraakje ging mijn date ervandoor met de serveerster. Dat zegt genoeg, vind je niet?Maar ik heb een troef in de achterzak van mijn mom jeans; namelijk mijn verschrikkelijk sexy beste vriend en hockey-superster, Justin Cruise.Ik ken Justin sinds de brugklas, al lang voordat hij succesvol werd met zijn alom bekende... ijshockeystick. Dus in ruil voor mijn eeuwige, platonische loyaliteit wil ik alleen maar een appeltje-eitje-spoedcursus om een seksgodin te worden.Hoe lastig kan dat nou zijn?Justin.Ik ben in heel mijn leven nog nooit zo hard geweest.De dingen die ik met die lieve kleuterjuf en mijn beste vriendin Libby Collins wil doen zijn zo fout dat ik het niet hardop kan zeggen. Ik hoor het niet eens te denken.Ik vind dat je iets het beste kunt leren aan de hand van een voorbeeld en onze eerste les voor wat betreft haar seksuele ontdekkingsreis zal een erg praktische aanpak hebben: mijn handen op haar lichaam, haar handen op mijn lichaam en haar warme lippen onder de mijne terwijl ik probeer te bewijzen dat er niets mis is met de manier waarop ze zoent.Ik zal Libby in een maand tijd transformeren van een muurbloempje, naar iemand die graag tegen de muur genomen wil worden en zelfverzekerd genoeg is om elke man te verleiden die ze maar wil.Het probleem is... ik wil de enige man zijn die ze verleidt.

Een hilarische, sexy hockey romance.Laura.Brendan Daniels is de meest sexy man op aarde. De aanvoerder van het hockeyteam de Badgers is ook slim, aardig, grappig en was een goede vriend van mij... tot het moment waarop we uit de friendzone stapten door een weekend vol seks. De maandagochtend erna wilde ik maar al te graag in de orgasmetrein blijven rijden, maar Brendan wilde iemand die meer geschikt was als "stiefmoeder".Wat ik dus kennelijk niet ben.Het enige probleem? Ik ben tot over mijn oren verliefd op hem en dol op zijn dochter. Dus toen hij vroeg of ik een lang weekend wilde doen alsof ik zijn vriendin was bij zijn voormalige schoonouders, zei ik natuurlijk ja. We zijn namelijk nog wel vrienden, en vrienden laten elkaar niet in hun eentje doen alsof.Brendan.Laura Collins is wel de laatste vrouw aan wie ik hoor te denken om seks mee te hebben; op de achterbank van mijn auto, in het bos achter het huis van mijn schoonouders, of in een hotelkamer waar we een klein, krakend bed delen.Ik heb een vaste, stabiele invloed nodig voor mijn dochter, geen avontuurtje met een wilde, te jonge, te impulsieve roodharige vrouw. Wat dan nog dat ze prachtig, intens en gepassioneerd is en het grootste hart heeft, dat ik maar ken?Ik wil niet verliefd worden. Echt niet. Het hele "doen alsof ik een vriendin heb" hoorde juist mijn problemen op te lossen, me wat meer tijd te geven.Maar wanneer het Laura betreft?Shit, misschien kan ik dan niet gewoon doen alsof.

"Je wordt papa."Amanda.Als ik in de donkere ogen van Alexi Petrov kijk terwijl ik het nieuws vertel, ben ik doodsbang. Deze man is de meest angstaanjagende verdediger in de NHL, en als de veelzeggende bolling van mijn buik er niet was geweest, zou ik waarschijnlijk niet hebben geloofd dat er die nacht iets tussen ons was gebeurd. (Ja, ik heb margarita's voor de rest van mijn leven afgezworen.)Maar de Alexi die met me naar mijn doktersafspraken gaat, mij in zijn gastenverblijf onderbrengt en zoveel heerlijke maaltijden voor me kookt dat het lijkt alsof ik een tweeling draag, is helemaal niet eng.Hij is lief. En intens. En zo sexy dat ik hem met honing wil insmeren en dat van elke centimeter van zijn krachtige, beschermende, o zo lekkere lichaam wil likken.Maar dat maakt geen deel meer uit van onze relatie. We zijn vrienden die van plan zijn om samen een kind op te voeden. Dat is alles...Toch?Alexi.Het is voor mij onmogelijk om alleen maar vrienden met Amanda Esposito te zijn.Ze is alles wat ik verlang in een vrouw - sterk, sexy, vol compassie, een beetje wild - met prachtige rondingen en een glimlach die ze alleen voor bewaart.Hoe graag ik haar ook wil, ik weet niet of ik het in me heb om de man te zijn die het hart op zijn tong draagt. Ik heb op de harde manier geleerd dat liefde heel snel heel rampzalig kan worden.Maar wanneer mijn nieuwe gezin bedreigd wordt, realiseer ik me hoe graag ik deze vrouw en onze baby voor altijd in mijn leven wil hebben en hoe veel ik bereid ben om hard voor hen te vechten. Ze zeggen dat ik een gevaarlijke man ben op het ijs, maar dat is nog niets vergeleken bij de ellende die ik over iemand kan uitstorten buiten de ring...
