Ivy Years

The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else. What now? She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But, a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He's way out of Corey's league. Also, he's taken. Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the "gimp ghetto" of McHerrin Hall. Over perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands. They're just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or, fall together. All Corey knows is that she's falling. Hard. But, will Hartley set aside his trophy girl, to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won't, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness, one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy, who's afraid to love her back.

Could you give up the love of your life to save the child, who depends on you? I used to be like the other Harkness Hockey players, worrying only about the next game or the next party.

But then, I meet Scarlet, who sees me as more than just a star athlete or a party boy. I fall hard for her. But, darkness follows Scarlet, too.

If you love a strong hero, a fierce heroine and the ivy-covered glamour of college life, dive right in to The Year We Hid Away. "A book that grabs hold and won't let go." Romance Between the Sheets

What happened in high school stayed in high school. Until now. Five years ago, Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then, he's made an art of hiding his sexual orientation from everyone. Including himself. So, it's a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless. For Graham, there is only one possible reaction: total, debilitating panic. With one loose word, the team's new left wing could destroy Graham's life as he knows it. John Rikker is stuck being the new guy. Again. And, it's worse than usual, because the media has latched onto the story of the only "out" player in Division One hockey. As the satellite trucks line the sidewalk outside the rink, his new teammates are not amused. And, one player in particular looks sick every time he enters the room. Rikker didn't exactly expect a warm welcome from Graham. But, the guy won't even meet his eyes. From the looks of it, his former... best friend / boyfriend / whatever isn't doing so well. He drinks too much and can't focus during practice. Either the two loneliest guys, on the team will self-destruct from all the new pressures in their lives, or they can navigate the pain to find a way back to one another. To say that it won't be, easy is the Understatement of the Year. Warning: unlike the other books in this series, this heartbreaking love story is about two guys. Contains sexual situations, dance music, snarky t-shirts and a poker-playing grandmother.

She's not looking for a hero. He's not looking for a hookup. For Bella, the sweet-talking, free-loving, hip-checking student manager of the Harkness men's hockey team, sex is a second language. She's used to being fluent, where others stutter, and the things people say behind her back don't (often) bother her. So, she can't understand why her smoking hot downstairs, neighbor has so much, trouble staying friends after their spontaneous night together. She knows better than to worry about it, but there's something in those espresso eyes that makes her second guess herself. Rafe is appalled with himself for losing his virginity in a drunken hookup. His strict Catholic upbringing always emphasized loving thy neighbor-but not with a bottle of wine and a box of condoms. The result is an Ivy League bout of awkwardness. But when, Bella is leveled by a little bad luck and a downright nasty fraternity stunt, it's Rafe, who is there to pick up the pieces. Bella doesn't want Rafe's help, and she's through with men. Too bad the undeniable spark that crackles between the two of them just can't be, extinguished.
