After a Thanksgiving PR disaster went viral, I'm back in Snowberry Falls, Vermont, running the town's Christmas festival-and praying it saves my career. Then my ex shows up-parading his influencer fianc e-and I need a win. Fast. Enter Penn Radford: Boston Bucks enforcer, tabloid magnet, and currently stranded without a room at the fully booked inn. I know his type. Loud, flashy, allergic to shirts...and the guy who punched mall Santa. My solution? Team up. Fake a holiday romance. Nail the festival. Fix his image. Easy. But the mistletoe buzzer won't quit, and those pretend kisses? They feel way too real. And when my past comes back swinging, I have to figure out if Penn is the real deal...or just another mistake wrapped in peppermint sheets.

When abroad…all bets are off! Includes 3 titles! Perfect for fans of: ?? Opposites attract ?? Fake dating ?? Forced proximity – Pregnant by Morning by Kat Cantrell What was meant to be a one-night affair has turned into much more for Texas businessman Matt Wheeler. Something about Evangeline, the mysterious woman he met at a masquerade ball, propels him from his self-imposed exile. He’s finally able to forget his tragic past and lose himself in this incredible woman. But letting go has a price… Devoured by Cathryn Fox Peyton Harrison has hated gorgeous millionaire Roman Bianchi since he kissed her and then walked away laughing. But she needs a fake husband for a job in Malta, and Roman owes her brother a favour, so here they are. And yet under all this hate is an undercurrent of raw, irresistible need. But if hating Roman is complicated…how is she going to survive falling for him? The Greek’s Forbidden Innocent by Annie West While helping her friend escape an arranged marriage, dutiful Princess Mina finds herself captive on enigmatic Alexei Katsaros’s luxurious private island! Mina must convince Alexei that she’s his future bride, but she doesn’t expect their scorching chemistry to be so deliciously overwhelming… And after a night in the Greek’s bed, suddenly there’s more at stake than just Mina’s hidden identity – her heart is at Alexei’s mercy, too!

He was my high school crush-the guy who had no clue I existed. Sure, we shared a fleeting moment in the country club closet, but he thought I was someone else. After that night, I went to college, moved to Boston to find myself, and pushed him out of my thoughts.It worked-until he saw me performing at a local community theater. My character is bold, daring, and vivacious-everything I'm not-which makes him believe, again, that I'm someone else.He likes what he sees, and while a hot fling with an NHL star isn't on my bingo card, sometimes the numbers line up vertically, or horizontally-or, in my case, both.It's only when I find myself in his arms-and his bed-that I begin to discover who I really am and what I want. The problem? He has no idea I'm the nerdy girl from high school he never noticed.But one thing I do know, after spending time with him and learning his fears and hopes, is that he's everything I've ever wanted-and I'm everything that can destroy him.

Have you ever met an alpha-hole?Well, let me introduce you to the ultimate Ash-hole: Ash Wheeler, star defenseman for the Boston Bucks.He's got it all-hockey skills, women, fame, looks, and swagger. A real Ash-hole.I don't want to be attracted to him. Seriously, I don't. But every time I'm around him, my body ignites.I've been burned by a guy like him before, and I swear I'll never go down that road again.Until I do.As a single mother who seems to draw men like Ash, I console myself with the knowledge that I know what I'm getting into.I mean, if I understand the risks, what could go wrong?A lot, apparently.I try to keep things casual and vow not to fall for him.Until I do.And then I discover his secret and now there's only one thing left for me to do...

I need a favor, and there's only one guy I'd dare ask.Conner Birch.Boston Buck's right winger.Not only is he my best friend, he's my brother-in-law...and the man I've always loved.The problem is, he never loved me back. What I want might make things more awkward, and I can't risk our friendship, but...after losing my husband-Conner's brother-this is my only chance at the life I've dreamed of.Everything about our arrangement is risky, and when things heat up, it becomes harder and harder to hide what I feel.Soon enough, playing house becomes all too real, and I begin to think we might have a chance at a future.Until I find out the man I'm in love with might not be the friend I thought he was...

I wasn't looking for love. Heck I wasn't looking for anything.But it found me in a six-foot tall, two-hundred-pound hockey goalie.I try to fight it. I really do.This guy is a player, in more ways than one.At least I think he is.But I'm a Master of Psychology Student and there is one thing I know-not everything is as it appears.Looking deeper, I catch glimpses of the real Brady, the man this goalie keeps hidden-from everyone.I like that guy. A lot.And I'm pretty sure he likes me too.But then I discover something else about the man beneath the jersey, something dark and hurtful, something that tells me who I really am to him, which means there's only one thing left for me to do...Show the player who he's really playing with.

Deal Breaker: It's my job to play the player, and prove that the hockey culture on campus is toxic. My position at the Gazette depends on it. But two problems stand in my way.The way my boss wants me to get the story goes against my morals.And I'm starting to believe the guy who goes by the name Cheddar-a loud, obnoxious guy who gives the people what they want-might be a cloak.The guy beneath the nickname, Rhys Taylor, might actually be quiet, shy and respectful.Unless, of course, he's also playing me... Fake Out I've always been the sidekick, the supporting cast. Until I go on a date with Scotia Storm's hottest center-a guy I've been crazy about for months-and everything changes. Even though the two of us don't seem to make sense and I have no idea what he sees in me, love somehow finds a way.Every touch, every kiss makes me feel important and special, like I could be the main character in his life.I begin to plan a future, until I overhear words that shatter my heart and make me question my leading role. Could everything I've ever believed in be nothing but fake? Hard Burn: He was my brother's best friend - my teenage crush. Until one night-one beautiful mistake-changed it all. He took off to play college ball for Michigan, and my brother and I never set eyes on him again.Now, three years later, I'm in Houston for a romance writing conference. He's at the same hotel for the MLB playoffs. That's when our past catches up with us, and the real games begin.This time, I plan to fix past mistakes and rewrite our ending.All is well until he discovers a secret that sends my plot in a new direction, one where happily ever after just might not exist.

As a bookworm in rural Nova Scotia, a girl who always orbited the popular crowd, I craved acceptance.During my freshman year at Scotia Academy, I devised a plan to transform myself.My reinvention, however, leads to a chain of unsettling events, blurring the boundaries between my true self and the fa ade I've created.When a baby unexpectedly appears outside my dorm room, I'm forced to live with my best friend's brother Kace Andrews-a notorious hockey player who loves all the puck bunnies.Well, all the puck bunnies except for me.But soon enough, he begins to see beyond my disguise, which leads to soft kisses, tender touches and late nights between the sheets.We're on a journey of self-discovery as we play house, but when a reckless mistake catches up with me, bringing up old hurts Kace can't seem to outrun, I question whether our love is enough to help rebuild our shattered trust in a world consumed by betrayal.

I hate everything about him.Everything from his boyish good looks to the flawless fit of his jersey.But you know what I hate the most?That his family, owners of the biggest seafood company in Lunenburg, is trying to run our small, family seafood businessinto the ground.But when fate takes a turn and Liam comes to my rescue, I begin to see another side of him.That's when I soften.Can you say stupid?Yeah, I know, I can too.Because we all know that getting involved with the enemy-even secretly-is not a smart move.But his touch shuts down my brain, and my ability to think with reason.Soon enough I'm consumed by the hockey player who wants me, and me only.Or at least I thought he did.Until he does something that could destroy my family, destroy us, leaving me with the burning question of how I can possibly navigate a path forward and salvage what remains of us.

Dane Taylor: Scotia Storms biggest player.A rule-breaker who is wild, reckless and fun.He's everything I'm not allowed to be-or be around-thanks to an overbearing brother who just happens to be Dane's captain. But when Dane rescues me from a bad situation, I can't help but want him, which leads to a secret relationship that allows me to grow.Then, the worst thing that could ever happen to me, happens. And one bad decision leads to another.I find myself hurting everyone I ever cared about.Maybe I should have listened to my brother-since all I do is make mistakes--and maybe I never should have kept secrets from the player who was never playing at all when it came to loving me.

Tavish Findlay.MMA's ultimate bad boy.A hot Scot covered in more art than the Guggenheim.I don't care how freaking hot he is...Or how much my son adores him after he jumped in to protect him from bullies.Never again will I get involved with a guy who loves the limelight-loves women-no matter how much he throws me off kilter.But then he's suddenly right there...A rock solid man who makes me feel like I'm the most important woman in the world.And when he takes me in his arms...kisses with possession...touches with obsession...Damn you ovaries Then he picks up the broom. A BROOM, ladies Someone stick a fork in me. I. Am. Done.Honestly, how could I not fall for a tatted up Prince Charming as he sweeps my floor?But if I submit and surrender, will he open his protected heart.Or will he tap out and walk away with mine.Do you think I should find out?

After hours

Thanks to an unfortunate sheep incident-please don't ask-I lost my job as a wedding photographer, and said good-riddance to my unsupportive fianc . Escaping to Scotland with a friend seemed like a great way to avoid the guilt. Who knew I'd end up beneath the hottest soccer player on the planet. Well, staying in the room under his anyway. And temporarily working together at his family's pub-where he's recuperating from an injury. A relationship is not on the menu, despite his talents in the kitchen-and other areas of the house. All it takes is an unfortunate tweezer encounter-again, please don't ask-for things to heat up. Harris is hot and funny, and I soon realize he's as lost as I am. Together, we go on a journey of self-discovery-which mostly requires us to be naked. Things are going great until Harris gets the worst news possible and my ex-fianc has visions of grandeur. That's when things begin to unravel, and I soon realize that what I thought I wanted wasn't what I wanted anymore, and what I needed was now out of reach. In Scotland, how do they say FML...

I wasn't supposed to fall for my sister's wedding planner.But a hot Scot who always wore a kilt - and wasn't into women?Yeah, that had my name written all over it.Why, you ask?Oh, because I always go for the wrong kind of guy.But then he started acting all flirty, and a late night of menu planning, coupled with an unexpected kilt mishap...let's just say, the lifelong mystery of what a Scot wears beneath his kilt...solved.Hey, why can't a strait-laced financial advisor have a little kilt free-err I mean guilt free-fun?Let me tell you why.Because he was sweet and kind, protective and supportive, and my stupid heart got involved.But then I discovered the hot Scot wasn't at all who I thought he was, and that sometimes, sadly, the bridesmaid can't have her cake and eat it too...
