There's one rule smart hockey players know not to break: never-and I mean never-date the coach's daughter. But no one ever accused Van of being smart. When the mouthy bad boy of the Appies catches the groom cheating on the coach's daughter, he can't just walk away, not on her wedding day. Maybe his own relationships are casual, but he would never cheat and never treat wedding vows so carelessly. Not after he and his sisters watched their divorced parents cycle through marriage after marriage. But forcing the groom to come clean sets off a chain reaction Van couldn't have expected. Ending with a black eye, an unexpected trip to Florida with one runaway bride, and a secret bargain struck with Coach. A bargain that may just jeopardize the very real and very inconvenient feelings he's developing for the very last person he ever should. Runaway Bride and Prejudice is a closed-door hockey romance featuring the team's bad boy and a very good girl who also happens to be the coach's daughter. It's a sports romance with all the sizzle and swoon but no spice. This is part of the Appies Hockey Romance series of standalones, which is best enjoyed in order.

A new relationship is risky when Evie is still licking her wounds from her divorce, and she has no idea if Alec has any desire to be a dad. His sister already warned her that he isn't the type to settle down. But she can't make herself care about any of that. Not until she's already fallen, and it might be too late to save herself from another heartbreak.
