With a busy schedule and a bruised heart, Alessandra doesn't have time to date, but when she is lured into making a friendly bet with her best friend, she finds herself agreeing to go out with the next guy that asks...and to give him three shots, three dates, before pulling the plug. Jace also has a friendly wager with his friends going, and it involves making sure the slightly klutzy, but very pretty, doctor will be his date to the biggest night in sports. With two wagers and two hearts on the line, will Aly and Jace win or are they betting to lose?

“The Proposition”, the second book in the contemporary romance sports series, the “Players”, from Elizabeth Hayley about a professional hockey player who hires a wedding date. Professional hockey player Ben Williamson doesn't quite know how he got himself into this situation; hiring someone to be his date for his brother's wedding is way out of character for him. But with family pressuring him to settle down, going stag just isn't an option. It would just be one more thing his polite, cultured family uses as ammo against him. Ryan Cruz is having a bad day. Wait, make that a bad year. Broke, technically homeless, and living on a friend's couch, she's now also unemployed after her sharp tongue gets her fired from her job. So, when a handsome stranger approaches her out of the blue with a proposition, he'll pay her to be his date to his brother's wedding for the weekend, accepting his offer is a no brainer. She needs the cash and figures it wouldn't be in the best interest of a professional athlete to murder her. What starts as a simple business arrangement soon becomes more as these opposites attract and get caught up in the wedding magic. Will Ben and Ryan be able to turn their relationship into something more? Or is love based on a proposition too much of an obstacle to overcome?

Gabriel Torres thought his life after major league baseball would be simple and quiet-or at least quieter. However, as he takes over running the exclusive Players Club, he finds himself constantly embroiled in scandal and drama. Surely nothing or no one could make his life any crazier...right? Rachel Adler is a blast from Gabe's past who crashed back into his life with the finesse of a freight train. But she's a welcome distraction. At least for a night. Rachel's been working hard to become one of the top sports journalists in the country, and she doesn't have time for an irresistibly charming baseball player. A one-night stand with a man who she knew would hit it out of the park was all she wanted. But when Rachel gets a tip that Gabe could have ties to one of the biggest sports stories in history-a story that could make her career-she decides she has time for the sexy baseball player after all. As Rachel gets in deeper with both her story and Gabe, she begins to question who she is, what she wants, and what exactly she's willing to sacrifice for her career. Will this potential grand-slam romance be stopped short? Or will Rachel and Gabe go the distance?
