Arctic Titans of Northwood U

This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life. His very presence throws me off balance. His intense gaze and aggressive, dominant, and possessive streaks feel like a lasso pulling me toward him. It only takes so many shared showers and locker room encounters before I'm too weak to continue resisting this pull. But we both know there is no future for us. Our ambitions have always left a trail of ruin and heartbreak in their wake. Why should this time be any different? Except I can't think straight when he's around. And every private moment we share makes me forget why I'm even here in the first place. Contains mature themes.

Grayson Reed is into me. We are each other's fiercest opponents in the rink. But now, Grayson's eyes are stripping me down whenever we cross each other's paths. I don't mind being the object of another guy's desire, but I also refuse to jump into a stranger's bed so quickly. It's just that I'm not really dating material. And of all the guys on Earth, Grayson Reed is the last person I would give a chance. But if there is one thing everyone knows about Gray, it's that he is not a quitter. The more I push him away, the more he tries to get closer. And as he struggles to win me over, I stumble into the very thing I swore I would avoid. Love. Our struggles on the ice are nothing compared to the conquest of each other. And when I find out about the dare that had brought us together, my trust is shattered. It will take a lot more courage to fix this mess than it took to win a date with me. And I just don't know if this playboy is brave enough for a relationship or if his story ends with the conquest. Contains mature themes.

Tyler is my best buddy on the planet. We would move mountains for each other. So when I discover that my girl has been cheating on me, it's my best friend's job to put me back together. His own troubles in the love nest are brewing. His girlfriend is jealous of all the time Tyler spends cheering me up. She doesn't understand. Nobody gets us. We had always been each other's rocks. And when Tyler is forced to choose between me and his girl, my whole life is turned upside down. He chooses me. And he makes me happier than he can understand. Maybe we are each other's soulmates. The only problem is . . . neither of us is into guys. It's a cruel cosmic joke to make me fall in love with my best friend and never be able to do anything about it. But once I see the truth behind the veil of fog and confusion, I can never unsee it. I want him. Even if it means learning to like a whole new style. Contains mature themes.

I've been in love with Jordan Mitchell since the moment I saw him. He's smart, handsome, and even funny when he feels like it. He excels at everything; whatever he touches turns to gold. He can't do anything wrong. When our parents got married and merged our broken families, I suddenly had a rival I could never compete with. And a heartthrob I could never be with. And I hate him for it. He doesn't even see me. Until one summer break... We're alone in our parents' mountain house. All we do is swim, sunbathe, and fight. And I'd rather be kissing him. Soon enough, the line between hate and attraction is too blurry to see. It turns out that he's just as messed up as me. And his sculpted body attracts me more than ever. With each day we spend holed up in the mountains, it gets harder to resist him. If I don't do something, I might burst. But the looming threat of destroying our family for a cheap thrill holds me back. There couldn't be a happy ending to our story. And all my choices are wrong. For once, I'm going to need him to be in charge of what happens next. Contains mature themes.

He's my first and only crush. He's my new coach. Oh, and he was once my dad's teammate and best friend. I've been in love with Nate Partridge since I can remember. Under my mattress, there has always been a stack of magazine covers with his bare torso and a pearly smile. But that's about the extent of it. I can never have Nate Partridge. He is a straight guy and twenty years my senior. Neither of which is a deal-breaker for me, but he disagrees. When a hockey accident forces him to retire, he takes the freshly vacant job of coaching the Arctic Titans. And my life takes an unexpected turn for the better. Nate is the only person who has ever truly understood me. Where my father's ambition dictates my every waking moment, Nate's kindness and compassion make me feel like there's more to life than hockey. Dad's disregard for my passions makes Nate's encouragement only sweeter. And my crush reaches all new heights. Especially when I discover his deepest secret. Nate Partridge is not straight. But do I stand a chance? To him, I am nothing more than his old friend's kid and a college freshman he's in charge of training. If I want Nate Partridge, it will take more than hope to make this real. It's time to shake things up in my life before I can make him mine. Contains mature themes.
