Dallas Demons Hockey Romance

Kylie Reed vowed she'd never pick up a man in a bar. So falling into a gorgeous ginger's lap, tossing a glass of wine on him, and then hoping he asks for her number while in a bar would be a trifecta of wrong, right? Organized, rule-loving, and cautious to a fault, Kylie Reed is waiting for the perfect moment to live her dreams-when she has a house, when she meets her husband, when she has been at her visual display job a little while longer. All of her dreams are saved for later-as that seems to be a safer place than taking a risk to actually live them. Yet Kylie finds all her rules bending when she falls into the lap of gorgeous Harrison Flynn, captain of the Dallas Demons hockey team. Harrison harbors his own fears for the future, ones he keeps close to the vest. He's intrigued with the brown-eyed beauty who proceeds with caution, while she's drawn to the sexy man who pushes boundaries and functions in chaos. The phrase opposites attract has never been truer . . . While the attraction is hot, is that enough to make a relationship work? Can they face their fears for a future they both want? Will this relationship end before puck drop? Or will they find home ice together?

Chocolate is the only way to this confectioner's heart-until a gorgeous hockey player becomes her man candy . . . Fresh from studying chocolate making in Europe, Kenley Hunter is ready to build her own business, Confection Consultations. Sinful truffles and exotic chocolates are her only passion-as the idea of romance is about as appealing as a piece of stale candy. A natural beauty, Kenley has been judged more often for her appearance than anything she's accomplished, but people respect her knowledge and wizardry with chocolate-focusing on the delights she serves rather than what she looks like. Throwing herself into her career allows her to avoid romance-as her biggest fear is that once a man gets past her beauty, he will be disappointed in what he will find. When sexy hockey player Nate Johansson defends Kenley's desire to be herself in a photoshoot-by ripping off his jersey and volunteering to be the eye candy a magazine is trying to force her to be-her plans to avoid romance begin to fall like a bad souffle. Will Kenley be brave enough to take a chance on romance with Nate? Or will fears of the past freeze this game of love before the puck is dropped?
