Lucas
She’s a goddess in heels. Absolute perfection. Well, almost.
Samantha Fox is the heiress of Fox Sporting, my new management team. As one of the best wings in the NHL, I have never shied away from a challenge, and she is definitely a challenge. But if her company representing me doesn’t stop me from wanting her, the fact she’s engaged should, right?
But the noticeably absent sparkle from her left ring finger makes me question. I vow to myself that I’ll find out what that’s all about. And if she’s single, I plan to make her mine. Or at least, mine for the night. I just need one taste of the divine.
Samantha
Off-limits. That’s what he is. Lucas Bouchard is the prestigious new client acquired by my family’s company. From what I know, not only is he an amazing hockey player, he’s a humble and generous philanthropist too. Also, he’s a walking aphrodisiac.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve just broken off my engagement to a cheating, using loser. Every time our eyes lock, I find myself captivated. But he’s not for me. No matter how many times I remind myself of this, though, it doesn’t compute. Plain and simple, I want him. And keeping my distance might prove impossible.

Mika
She’s the uber-sexy, single mother living next door. Everyone tells me to keep my distance. But there’s something about her. Specifically, her eyes. They speak to me. Drawing me in like a siren. I want to know her, but she’s more guarded than Buckingham Palace. However, after one afternoon in her presence, I find myself addicted and wanting more. Willing to do whatever I have to just to make it past her defenses.
 
Shiloh
My next-door neighbor is an insanely hot, single professional hockey player. As if that isn’t bad enough, he’s a nice guy too. After spending an afternoon where he showed my son how to skate and took us out to ice cream, I want to let him in. My past cautions me to put on the brakes, but I find myself going full steam ahead, ignoring all the red flags waving at me.

Can the girl who hides in the shadows date a guy who chases the spotlight?

Ares de la Peña: sports star, stripper, bisexual playboy.
He lives for the limelight. He’s everything I should avoid, yet I’m drawn to him in ways I don’t understand.
As our world’s collide, I discover he’s more than just the flashy heir to a billion dollar fortune.
I’ll never fit into his world. But I want to.
Ares:
What is it about this girl?
She hides her scars behind her bright hair, quirky clothing, and striking lipstick, but I see her.
She’s the calm that quiets my demons, while running from her own.
My reputation precedes me, which is usually a good thing, but in this case her preconceived notions about me aren’t working in my favor.
How can I make her see that what we have is far more than skin deep?

Whoever said out of sight, out of mind must be crazy.
 
There wasn’t a day since I left that I didn’t think about her.
 
As much as I wanted to stay with her in Boulder City, it was never an option.
 
Caroline had big dreams of becoming a chef, and I’d just signed my rookie contract.
It was the chance of a lifetime for both of us.
 
After years of no contact, I’d assumed I’d lost her for good, but when I injured my pitching arm, I was given a second chance to right the wrongs from the past.
 
This is my last chance and the biggest payoff pitch of my life.

How quickly we’ve fallen back into old ways surprises me. Maybe I’ll be able to pull off being just friends after all.

“Now, go take a shower while I make lunch.” I clap my hands and rub them together like a mad scientist. “Where do I begin?” Kathy did a fantastic job stocking this refrigerator with all sorts of gourmet foods. I run through a recipe in my head that I think Micha will like and will work with the ingredients on hand.

“Caroline.” Micha’s deep voice close to my ear makes me jump.

“Damn it.” Lost in my thoughts, I hadn’t heard him approach. I clutch my chest. “You scared the crap out of me.”

“Sorry.” His brow furrows like he’s struggling with something.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong…” He pauses like he’s carefully considering his words, then leans closer and whispers, “…I’m glad you’re here.”

And just like that, the friendly back and forth we had a few seconds ago is obliterated. I’m pulled back to when kissing and exploring each other’s bodies were a regular part of our lives.

The air is thick with sexual tension and no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the energy to look away.

His gaze lands on my lips.

I resist the urge to lick them and draw in a staggered breath. My hands find their way to rest on his hips while my legs turn to jelly.

His blue eyes look deep into mine.

Is he going to kiss me? Do I want him to kiss me? Should I kiss him?

His kind of broken pairs perfectly with hers.
Unless an almost murder charge and a bad name count for something, Knox Moore’s hockey career is over. Not officially, but thanks to the media incriminating the innocent, he hasn’t just been skating on thin ice… he’s been dragged through the mud so bad, not even the Zamboni can fix it.
Needing a place to level out his head and escape the pressure, Knox surfaces up in the small town where his dream started–the very place he vowed never to return to. Whether Knox comes looking for motivation or a reason to hate his family even more, he finds something entirely different: a beautiful disaster.
Stevie Winlow can’t risk falling for someone. Not now. Not in this town. Not when her mom is on the verge of a breakdown and she’s hanging on by the ink on her planner. Letting someone in, even just a little, may ruin her entire setup… but Knox’s kind of damaged makes him irresistible. And he finds Stevie’s motivation addictive. Until he discovers the reason behind it.
Then he’ll wish he hadn’t.
Pucking Nothing is a standalone hockey romance lightly laced with mystery and the kind of angst that comes with a second chance at life. It’s jam-packed with family drama, a touch of innocence, and an addictive plot twist.
