Can your favorite hockey players finish their first season together undefeated?Five months in, NHL forward Ryan Wesley is having a record-breaking rookie season. He's living his dream of playing pro hockey and coming home every night to the man he loves-Jamie Canning, his longtime best friend turned boyfriend. There's just one problem: the most important relationship of his life is one he needs to keep hidden, or else face a media storm that will eclipse his success on the ice.Jamie loves Wes. He really, truly does. But hiding sucks. It's not the life Jamie envisioned for himself, and the strain of keeping their secret is taking its toll. It doesn't help that his new job isn't going as smoothly as he'd hoped, but he knows he can power through it as long as he has Wes. At least apartment 10B is their retreat, where they can always be themselves.Or can they? When Wes's nosiest teammate moves in upstairs, the threads of their carefully woven lie begin to unravel. With the outside world determined to take its best shot at them, can Wes and Jamie develop major-league relationship skills on the fly?Warning: contains sexual situations, a vibrating chair, long-distance sexytimes and proof that hockey players look hot in any shade of green.

They don't play for the same team. Or do they?Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.Ryan Wesley's biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he'll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions-can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.Warning: contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

The dreamiest player on the Moo U hockey team hangs a flyer on the bulletin board, and I am spellbound: Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt...Now everyone knows it's a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I'm not willing to say why. So I tear his phone number off of that flyer... and accidentally entangle our star defenseman in a ruse that neither of us can easily unwind.Because Weston's family is even nuttier than mine. He needs a date, too, for the most uncomfortable holiday engagement party ever thrown. There will be hors d'oeuvre. There will be faked PDA. And there will be pro-level awkwardness...

The heart wants what it wants...My life is a carefully constructed lie. I'm in love with my best friend, but the way I feel could get us both killed. So as long as we stay here on the dusty ranch, I can never tell him how I feel. And if we leave, we'll have nothing but the shirts on our backs.But when Josh is accused of a crime he didn't commit, fate forces my hand. I steal him away, where it's just the two of us against the world. I will do anything to keep him safe. I'll steal. I'll fight. I'll tell lies. Yet I can't tell Josh how I feel. I can't tell him that this is all my fault.And kissing him in the back of a stranger's truck wasn't exactly part of the plan...Contains: first times, impossible choices, awkward confessions and love up against the kitchen counter.

But after we got caught kissing at church camp, his jerk of a father made sure I never saw him again.Six years later, I'm streaming a college basketball game in a distant town, trying to decide if I should take a job with the athletic department there, when a familiar face in the crowd leaves me stunned. The school is a thousand miles away, in a tiny rural town. But suddenly, I can't wait to get there.CaxtonI can barely believe it when Axel turns up at the college where I'm a grad student. And I'm just as drawn to him as I ever was. But a few stolen kisses are all I'll ever have. I can't date. Loving Axel would mean letting go of my younger brothers who need me.They can't be together.

Wanted: One roommate to share a 3-bedroom house, split the rent, and ideally not be the guy I can't stop thinking about. I'm a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We're not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he's the only one who noticed. Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything. Seeking: a room to rent in town. I'm tidy, have no pets, and I will feed you homemade bread. I should probably add: Gay AF, and has no filter. It's no wonder my new landlord is so wary of me. A smarter man would ignore those hot glances from the Kieran Shipley. The broody lumberjack wants more from me than another fresh-baked pretzel. But if I push my luck, I'll end up back on the street.Too bad I've never been smart with my heart...
