Five nights. Two adversaries. Only one bed in their hotel room. I'm at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don't even know its name. Pass, thanks. I don't need a summer job. But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she's a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble. So guess who's on a flight to Hawaii? It's going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we're torturing each other. It's all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector. Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel. No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. Expect: a growly hero, a lady boss with no time for his attitude, and a war of wills and hormones. Bonus: a hunk wearing a baby in a sling.

Kan man forelske sig i en, man aldrig har mødt? Hailey Taylor Emery har på fornemmelsen, at hendes yndlingsklient hos Fetch – en anonym online-leveringsservice, hun ejer – i virkeligheden er hockeystjernen Matt Eriksson. Selvom det er imod reglerne, at hun tjekker hans fil, er hun 95 % sikker på, at det er hendes livslange crush, hun hver dag sidder og skriver beskeder sammen med og hvis dagligdag, hun hjælper med at gøre lidt lettere. Da Hailey stadig slikker sårene efter et breakup, er hun fuldt ud tilfreds med lidt harmløs onlineflirting – indtil hun en dag bliver nødt til at møde sin klient. Ansigt til ansigt. Panik følger. Matt Eriksson kender udmærket til at have et knust hjerte. Han er stadig ikke kommet sig over, at hans ægteskab brød sammen, og det stinker at være den eneste på sit hold, der kender sandheden – at professionel hockey og seriøse forhold er en giftig blanding. Han ser sjældent sine døtre og kæmper med at håndtere sin ekskone. Den eneste person i hans liv, der virker til at kunne forstå ham, er en, han aldrig har mødt ansigt til ansigt. Men det er er ikke noget, et par drømmesæder til hans næste hockeykamp ikke kan gøre noget ved. Hailey kan ikke modstå det tilbud. Og Matt kan ikke modstå Hailey. Godt, at han ikke behøver det …

Everyone knows the girl is off limits. But it's so good to be bad.There's this girl... Heidi and I have been trading hungry looks all year, and everything she does makes me smile. But I don't do girlfriends, and I certainly can't get involved with the league commissioner's daughter. I need shots on goal, not a hookup and a widely misunderstood paparazzi photo.Can I resist her, though? The way she teases me should be a game penalty for interference with my libido.There's this guy...Jason wants me, but he won't admit it. That man looks at me the way a hockey player eyes the lunch buffet after practice--and I love it.But when victory is finally within my grasp, I blow it and humiliate myself. Even then I can't even avoid him--as the team intern, I'm in constant view of his hard body and cocky smile.I need another chance. Jason Castro is about to learn the true meaning of an overnight sensation.

“Hun stirrer på mig, som om hun vil flå tøjet af mig. Eller bare flå noget i stykker. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på hvad.” Jess Canning står over for sit livs største udfordring: at arrangere sin brors Jamies kæmpebryllup, hvor gæstelisten består af landets største hockeystjerner. I familien er hun kendt som den flagrende lillesøster, der konstant skifter mening og aldrig kan gennemføre noget. Med andre ord: Hun kan ikke tabe det her på gulvet. Og ingen (ingen!) må høre om den kæmpe fejltagelse, hun begik med forloveren i et svagt øjeblik sidste forår. Det var en fejl, og det kommer ikke til at ske igen. Absolut ikke. Heller ikke selvom han er den mest sexede mand, hun nogensinde har mødt. For Blake Riley er det her bryllup skæbnen, der smiler til ham. Jess er brudepige, og han er forlover. Lad kampen begynde. Og hvad så, hvis han står overfor en lillesmule (okay, en hel del) modstand? Han skal bare finde en måde at overbevise den stædige blondine om, at han i grunden er en god fyr med et blakket rygte. Heldigvis ved enhver professionel hockeyspiller, at man må kæmpe for det, hvis man vil score. Men Jess har mere presserende udfordringer pt. end at afvise Blake. Fx: Vil vielsen blive forsinket af, at nogen har drukket bedstemor fuld? Hører glimmer egentlig til et bryllup? Og er det virkelig så slemt at myrde forloveren?

Hockeyspilleren Ryan Wesley har haft nogle forrygende første fem måneder på isen. Han udlever sin drøm om at spille professionel hockey og komme hjem hver nat til den mand, han elsker – Jamie Canning, der både er hans bedste ven og kæreste. Der er bare et problem: Den allervigtigste person i hans liv bliver han nødt til at holde hemmelig, hvis ikke der skal opstå en mediestorm, der vil overskygge hans succes på isen. Jamie elsker Wes. Det gør han virkelig. Men det er hårdt hele tiden at skulle skjule deres forhold, og så hjælper det heller ikke, at Wes er så meget væk. Samtidigt er Jamies nye job ikke, som han havde troet, at det ville være. Alligevel ved han, at det nok skal gå det hele, så længe han har Wes. I det mindste er lejlighed 10B deres fristed, hvor de altid kan være sig selv. Eller kan de? Da Wes’ mest højlydte holdkammerat flytter ind i lejligheden oven over, bliver det sværere og sværere at holde sammen på deres omhyggeligt konstruerede løgn – og på deres forhold. For hvor meget mere skuespil og hvor mange hemmeligheder kan deres kærlighed holde til?

A brand new romantic comedy from your favorite snort-laughing duo Liam The moment Sadie Matthews walks through the daycare center door, I feel my world tilt in her direction. Again. I fell for her when I was fourteen, and I'm still not over her. Problem: she still thinks of me as a teen she used to babysit. But I've learned a few things about pleasing a woman in the last fifteen years. I can't wait to show her how good it could be. I need to move quickly before I lose her again. This is more than a game to me, but I still plan to win. Sadie I've just survived the worst year of my life. As a single mom of twin toddlers, I don't have time for a man. I barely have time to finish a thought. Who knew that Liam McAllister would grow up to be so devastating? He's everything my husband was not: tall, built, and willing to have a tea party with my girls. I can't possibly get involved with him. He's too young for me. Too handsome. But he's so persuasive...

Jamie Canning har aldrig fundet ud af, hvorfor han mistede sin bedste ven for fire år siden. Hans fandenivoldske, flabede roommate droppede ham fra den ene dag til den anden uden en forklaring. Ja okay, tingene udviklede sig lidt mærkeligt mellem dem deres sidste nat på hockey camp – men de havde bare fået alt for meget at drikke og fjollede rundt. Der skete jo ikke rigtig noget. Ryan Wesleys største fortrydelse er, at han lokkede sin meget heteroseksuelle ven ud i et væddemål, der overtrådte grænserne for deres venskab. Nu, hvor deres hold skal spille imod hinanden i det nationale collegehockeymesterskab, får han endelig en chance for at sige undskyld. Men efter at han har kastet blot et enkelt blik på sit crush, er hans længsel større end nogen sinde. Jamie har ventet længe på svar, men mødet med Wesley efterlader ham bare med endnu flere spørgsmål. Og da Wesley melder sig til at være træner sammen med Jamie på seks ugers hockeycamp opdager Jamie overraskende ting og sager om sin ven – og en stor ting om sig selv. Ham er en sød og rørende bog om venskab, forelskelse og kærlighed og om at opdage sider af sig selv, men ikke anede man havde.

Never ask a question unless you're sure you want the truth.I've been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It's just that we've never met face to face.My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father's exclusive world. A world I don't want any part of - not at this cost. Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul.There's a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love. My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me.

Nothing ventured, nothing banged. Ash I still don't know how it happened. One minute I was arguing with my arrogant competitor-our usual trash-talk over who deserves the larger commission. But somehow I went from throwing down to kneeling down... It can never happen again. I don't even like Braht. He's too slick. He's a manipulating mansplaining party boy in preppy clothes. So why can't I get him out of my head? Braht There are two things I know without question. One: Ash and I are destined for each other. Two: never trust a man with a unibrow. Ash is my missing my piece. She's the sweet cream to my gourmet espresso. And nothing gets me going faster than her contempt for me. They don't call her the Ashkicker for nothing. Eventually I'll win her over...if my past doesn't ruin everything first.

He puts the "screw" in screwball comedy... BRYNN At thirty-four, I'm reeling from a divorce. I don't want to party or try to move on. I just want to stay home and post a new recipe on my blog: Brynn's Dips and Balls. But my friends aren't having it. Get out there again, they say. It will be fun, they say. I'm still taking a hard pass. Free designer cocktails, they say. And that's a game-changer. Too bad my ex shows up with his new arm candy. That's when I lose my mind. But when my besties dare me to leap on the first single man I see, they don't expect me to actually go through with it. TOM All I need right now is some peace and quiet while my home renovation TV show is on hiatus. But when a curvy woman in a red wrap dress charges me like she's a gymnast about to mount my high bar, all I can do is brace myself and catch her. What follows is the hottest experience of my adult life. I want a repeat, but my flying Cinderella disappears immediately afterward. She doesn't leave a glass slipper, either-just a pair of panties with chocolate bunnies printed on them. But I will find her. My face literally hurts from smiling. About That Story It's FUNNY I mean, really funny. My whole body shook, trying to suppress my laughter made me snort and I accidentally doinked myself on the head with my kindle. Stacy is Sassy
