What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.
I would know. I'm coming home with a brand-new ring on my finger.
My wife? Ryan Bell.
We're polar opposites.
She's sunshine and happiness.
I'm grumpy and scarred-literally.
We could get it annulled and no one would be the wiser.
Only problem? We posted about it online, and it's already making headlines.
I can't afford to get that kind of attention and tank my career, and Ryan needs my help too.
We make a plan: stay married for one year, play our roles, and divorce amicably at the end. No harm, no foul.
Besides, there's no way the beauty is going to fall for the beast...
I have two goals this season:
1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents.
2. Stay single.
I'm right on track...until she happens.
Auden Sinclair.
We're stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that's all the promise we make-one night, then we go our separate ways.
Except she pops up again.
Then again.
Suddenly, she's everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.
The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.
This might be one battle I'm not going to win...

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
She’s an honors student with ambitious graduate school plans and he’s a jock with only hockey on his mind, but once their worlds collide, their connection is hot enough to melt an ice rink.
An ultimatum from Summer Preston’s thesis advisor thrusts her into an unexpected collision with the hockey team’s captain, Aiden Crawford. She’s caught between conflicting desires of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a sport psychologist and staying as far away as possible from the god-awful sport. And once she meets Aiden—well, let’s just say he confirms all her worst assumptions about hockey players.
Being the captain of the college hockey team has its perks, except when a reckless mistake by Aiden’s team threatens to jeopardize their entire season. As punishment, Aiden’s coach nominates him as the subject of a student research project. Participating is the last thing he wants to do, especially since the girl leading the project looks like she could wield his skates as a weapon.
Summer can’t stand Aiden’s blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn’t understand why she’s twenty years old with a twenty-five-year plan. But their bickering soon turns to bantering—and once they let their guards down, there’s nothing to check their feelings.
I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I'm not a complete screwup.
2. Stay away from the nanny.
I'm hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in.
It's all going according to plan...until I'm forced to hire Quinn Benson.
She's everything I need to avoid-flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me.
Thing is, the more she's around, the more I want her around-and not just as a nanny. I can't seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn't. Quinn goes against everything I'm trying to accomplish, but I can't stay away.
This might be one delayed penalty I don't mind serving...

Jensen and Lainey’s emotional past anchors their connection, but when their present becomes unsteady, will their future together be enough to save them from succumbing to the darkness?
Lainey Bradford has always been the shoulder for everyone else to cry on. After surviving an attack that left her broken and scarred—both physically and mentally—she clings to her boyfriend, Cole, regardless of the endless red flags he does little to hide. But when she gets a dream offer to become a professional hockey team’s physical therapist, a fire reignites inside of her, and she’s ready to fight for what she wants. There’s only one problem with this team, and it's a six-foot-five hockey player she used to call her best friend.
Jensen Donnelley, a notorious defenseman for the New York Nighthawks, has always struggled with his mental health, especially after enduring a horrific car accident that took his older sister’s life when they were kids. He’s good at internalizing everything, much like he did when Lainey cut him off after years of friendship because of his hockey rival, Cole, and much like he’s doing now, hiding something that could put him on injury reserve for the season…or even longer.
The tension is palpable when the two are reunited, Lainey’s disdain an equal match for Jensen’s yearning. But a relationship thirteen years in the making doesn’t come without tribulations. As they chip away at each other’s walls, uncovering new scars and dredging up old, haunting memories, they’ll have to decide if their struggles with the darkness in their minds will unite them once and for all or tear them apart for good.
When the inferno begins, will they find each other amongst the flames or become lost in the smoke?
Piper Hartwell exudes confidence and sex appeal, having no problem speaking her mind or going after what she wants. As a highly successful wedding planner, she is detail-oriented and a bit of a control freak. But behind that hardened shell, sky-high walls, and painted-on smile lies a girl who has sworn off love, knowing firsthand the damage it can leave in its wake.
Brett Burns, a powerhouse forward for the New York Nighthawks, lives every second with his heart on his sleeve, loving nothing more than spending time with his family and his team. He is playful, kind, and a hopeless romantic to the core. When the two run into each other at a Nighthawk player’s wedding, they can’t deny their intense chemistry, happily giving in to their every desire. Piper quickly informs Brett of his skillful shortcomings in the bedroom despite his impressive tools.
Desperately wanting to see her again, he offers that they become exclusive friends with benefits. She gets her no-strings-attached relationship while he gets sexy lessons from the girl of his dreams. They are a perfect pairing, but their deal has to remain hidden because Piper is the daughter of one of Brett’s assistant coaches, and their relationship threatens Brett’s professional hockey career. Their plan should go perfectly. But the late nights, intimate moments, and secret hookups in the arena begin to lead to something more. Before they know it, they become intertwined in one another’s lives in ways they never see coming, including discovering a dark secret that lingers in the shadows.
Although their forbidden romance is fiery hot, there’s a problem when you start playing with fire...you can get burned. But sometimes, that blazing heat can forge things stronger than they ever were before.
Laura Young is caught in a storm.
After a tragic incident leaves her mom in a coma, she focuses on the happiness in her life--her
two best friends and her five-year-old son.
What Laura needs is some good luck.
What she gets is the captain of the New York Nighthawks, Alec Kostelecky-a ghost from her past.
With captivating hazel eyes and a body that showcases his dedication on the ice, Alec is every
girl's dream. He is passionate, and when he wants something, he goes after it. When a chance
encounter brings Laura and him together again, Alec refuses to let her slip through his grasp, like
she did years ago.
Every girl in the world might want to call Alec Kostelecky hers. But not every girl knew him at
fifteen. Not every girl got pregnant by the infamous NHL star and was left to raise their son on her
own. And not every girl has the capability of bringing him to his knees.
When long lost love reignites, and twisted truths come to light, Laura questions everything she
thought she knew. And nothing is certain until the first drop of rain rolls down her cheek.
Her past is coming for her, and when it does, it's not going down without a fight.
Nikki Satinn lives a peaceful life running a coffee shop with her best friend. Everything is going according to plan: blend in, keep minimal connections, and find happiness in the simple things. The only problem with her seemingly perfect life is that Nikki Satinn doesn't actually exist.
Cam Costello, an illustrious wing of the New York Nighthawks, is a beast on the ice. Having endured enough turmoil and loss, he follows two rules: focus solely on hockey and his team, and allow no emotional attachments. But a pink-haired and blue-eyed girl makes him question if loving again is worth the risk of pain.
When they meet at a masquerade party, their guards drop, and their rules fade. But their night of freedom from their haunting pasts is cut short, and they are forced back to their realities.
As fate brings them together again, Nikki must choose between the comfort of her fake life or risk being exposed to the spotlight of the NHL hockey player who has stolen her heart.
Charlotte Winters is the epitome of an optimist, and has never struggled to find the light in any dark situation. She is a hopeless romantic to the core, selfless to an occasional fault, and passionate about everything she does.
Reed Larinski is one of the leading defensemen in the NHL. He is the guy you want as an ally, and the last guy you want as an enemy. Although he’s a menace on the ice with a tough exterior, he’s a softie off of it when it comes to the people he loves, and he will do anything to make them smile.
When Charlotte receives the worst news imaginable, she refuses to make Reed go through the same pain her dad did years ago when they lost her mom. In a desperate and emotional attempt to save Reed’s heart, she ends their relationship, leaving him devastated and confused about what went wrong between them. Reed throws himself into his craft in an attempt to move forward, but it’s not easy to do when he is forced to see Charlotte constantly at the rink, as she works for his team as a social media assistant. Reed continues to struggle to let go of the anger he feels at Charlotte for tossing their relationship aside like it was nothing.
Little does Reed know, their love isn’t the only thing fighting for survival.
**Special Edition Paperback - Inlcudes Bonus Epilogue**
I’ve been told I’m the grumpiest goalie in the league, and that may be the case, but who cares when I’m also killing it this season? The Carolina Comets are currently on a record-breaking run, and I intend to keep it that way.
This means the last thing I need is distractions, but my mother didn’t get that memo. She’s getting married, and after the fiasco I caused at her last wedding, I’m required to bring a date.
That would be easy, except for one little thing: I don’t date.
So why is the only person I want to take a single mom who can’t stand me?
We’re a horrible match, and it makes no sense that I’d be into her. But the more time we spend together, the more it’s starting to look like this might be one game I can’t win.

An obstinate ex–NHL player meets his match in a cheerfully resilient wedding planner prone to chaos in this sweet and spicy romantic comedy about game-changing second chances.
Wedding planner Odette Chambers has a knack for ruining every ceremony she touches. But her latest gig could be a curse breaker. The bride is her best friend, Izzy, and the venue is a local cidery with the Pacific Northwest mountains as a beautiful backdrop. The cidery’s only rotten apple is its owner, former NHL player Noah Stevens―Izzy’s older brother and a recently divorced, fully committed grump who doesn’t believe in happy endings.
But Noah can’t say no to his hopeful little sister. His decision sends Odette barreling into his life, and she insists on making picture-perfect renovations to his cidery. She’s demanding, irritatingly optimistic, and quite possibly the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. Noah is turning Odette’s head, too, but if she wants a wedding to finally go off without a hitch, he’s a handsome distraction she can’t afford. Right?
As Noah risks a second chance at love, Odette’s luck might change as well. For better or for worse.
Heart Trick is a fake dating hockey romance novella from bestselling author Kristen Granata. This is book 1 in a series of interconnected standalone novellas.
My new neighbor is a jerk. Sure, he's the embodiment of tall, dark, and handsome, and he looks like he could crush a watermelon between his muscular thighs. But he has managed to become enemy number one within the first forty-eight hours of moving into the apartment next door.
I may have retaliated and escalated the situation. I'm not above being petty, and I'm determined to make him break first.
Until he sees my cheating ex-boyfriend giving me a hard time outside our building and steps in to help. If it weren't for the pictures in the press the next morning, I would've assumed his act of kindness was just a fever dream. But my face is everywhere-labeled as hockey star Trenton Ward's new girlfriend.
Now, my grumpy neighbor's agent wants to run with this story. Apparently, his image needs some sprucing. (I can't imagine why with such a charming personality.) I agree under one circumstance: I get to use him for inspiration in the new romance book I'm working on.
I swear I meant it in the figurative sense when I signed the contract.
But after a few fake dates and a toe-curling kiss, Trenton turns into my experimental guinea pig for all my spicy scenes. I may be fake dating one of the NHL's best goalies, but out of all the things we do, faking it is not one of them.
Only, falling in love wasn't in the fine print.
I once fell in love with two people.
I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too.
Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires.
We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team.
But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we'd ever wanted.
Then she left us.
Four years later, Chance and I are playing on rival teams when Presley appears on the Jumbotron. Our lives look a lot different than they did in college, and the odds seem stacked against us, but I'm positive we've been thrown back together for a reason.
Convincing them of the same won't be easy, especially when Presley's job finds out about our unconventional relationship. I'm prepared to fight for us, until one moment on the ice changes everything.
I thought fate brought us together, but maybe we're only destined to lose it all.

Blair Adams's dreams are finally coming true– well, almost. Getting accepted into Happily Ever After University is like winning a golden ticket to guaranteed success if you manage to graduate. Having perfect grades isn't one of her problems; however, evading her narcissistic ex-boyfriend and having enough money to keep her enrolled are.
Griffin, The Beast, Hawthorne, lives up to his nickname on the ice as a menacing defender for the HEAU Legends hockey team. On the outside, Griffin seems to have it all—an elaborate mansion, endless funds, and a future written in the stars. But a poor grade threatens his path to the professional league, and unless he can fix it, he'll be spending the rest of the season on the bench, saying goodbye to his dreams.
Fate connects the two desperate souls, and without much of a choice, Blair begrudgingly agrees to tutor him. But when Griffin inadvertently costs Blair her job, he offers her a new proposal that is impossible to refuse. He'll pay for her entire tuition and all of her bills in exchange for one simple thing—move in with him until the end of the year.
With each study session and late-night kitchen run-in, the boundaries they initially set begin to blur, and they question whether it's their deal keeping them together or their growing affection for one another.
As everything begins falling into place, a threat they never expected emerges from the shadows—someone who will go to the grave before allowing Blair to be loved by The Beast.

Scoring on the ice? Piece of cake.
Scoring off it? Well, there's a reason I'm still a virgin.
I'm not entirely clueless with women, though I do tend to put my foot in my mouth around them far too often.
Like I did with Scout, the donut maker I stupidly introduced myself to despite visiting her truck for years.
Maybe my teammates have a reason to call me the dumb one, but I'm determined to prove them all wrong-Scout included.
I want to be her friend. Want her to see the real me.
What I'm not expecting is to like her so much when we start spending time together...or want to kiss her so badly.

Don’t miss NHL insider and #BookTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown’s steamy and superstitious hockey rom-com debut!
Jaylen “JJ” Jones’s hockey career is over. After not securing an NHL contract with the Seattle Rainiers, Jaylen decides to bid the city farewell with a final night of fun, blowing off steam with an anonymous one night stand. But when a last-minute roster spot opens up on the Rainiers, he connects his luck to the girl he spent the night with. Superstitious Jaylen is desperate to keep her around—his career depends on it.
Aspiring tattoo artist Lucy Ross isn’t so sure about the proposition to remain Jaylen’s lucky charm—she’s been called a lot of things in her life, but good luck has never been one of them. But stuck in a career slump, Lucy has everything to gain. Hoping for an apprenticeship hasn’t offered much stability, and Jaylen is willing to pay any price to get Lucy to agree…so maybe sending him a routine text message before each game won’t be too hard.
What starts as an agreement to trade favors—a good luck text in exchange for tattooing practice for Lucy’s portfolio—quickly turns into sizzling chemistry that’s too delicious to deny. But Lucy’s been in too many situationships to even think about getting attached again, and Jaylen is clearly only with Lucy as long as it’s helping his gameplay…
Neither of them expecting getting lucky could be so complicated.

I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I'm more than just the old guy.
2. Don't fall for my captain's stepsister.
In my defense, I had no clue who Vanessa was when we met. We were in a different city. How was I supposed to know she's my teammate's stepsister?
Now she's in Seattle, still healing from her divorce, and apparently, she's here to stay. That would be fine if I didn't still think about our night together every waking hour. Thing is, I do think about it-constantly-and then when I find out she needs a place to live, I offer my spare room.
We're roommates, and that's it. Until it isn't.
We're just having fun, that's all. Except nothing feels like just fun. It feels far too real and far too serious, and her stepbrother has no idea about us living together or that I'm slowly falling for her.
So much for focusing on the season...

Just comfort. But Rhys finds himself drawn to Sadie. Where he feels empty, a shell of the man and player he was before, Sadie is so full of everything, it bursts from her; every emotion she feels seems like it’s blasted at max volume. Rhys is desperate to feel anything. Sadie wants to stop feeling so much. But healing doesn’t mix with secrets, and they’re both skating on thin ice.
