I'm falling fast for Zade, but my feelings for Nash are still very real. When life starts getting complicated and Nash speaks the words I never thought I'd hear, the only thing I want is for us to find a way to make this work...together.

I swore I wouldn’t do this again. Mix sports, school, and sex. But right now the only thing standing between me and the NHL is six feet of frenemy packed into a pair of form-fitting jeans that have me thinking all kinds of things I shouldn’t. I don’t just want Kolby. I need him. Because I’ve got to pass this theater class—yeah, I said theater—if I’m going to keep my spot on the team.

I’ve never felt like I fit in, but that changed the day I met him. Liam West. He was larger than life, even back when we were kids.

I’ve tried to put distance between us, but it never works. Liam will never let me get too far from him. All I can do is stay high enough to forget the hopelessness of it all.

With her sights set on climbing the corporate ladder at her dream job, it seemed like a straightforward plan.

Michael Sato is used to fighting. An undersized defenseman, Mike had to be tough, clawing his way up from the minors by taking down one ferocious player at a time. No way is he going to lose his spot on the league roster, especially not by giving in to his attraction to a hot, infuriating rival. Daniel Garcia is used to fighting, too.

I've had a crush on Dallas since I was old enough to crush. He's my oldest fantasy; he's also an obnoxious, insufferable, smug jock with the stupidest adorable dimples. He never noticed me except when I was the punchline of his jokes. He's also the very definition of a guy I shouldn't want. But Dallas and I have an agreement: no strings attached. That way, we get to have fun and nobody needs to know. No harm done, right? Now I'm falling for him faster and harder than ever despite knowing what's at stake.

And yet...I still want to touch her.

You know that old saying “opposites attract” - well, no one ever tells you what happens after the attraction part. Do opposites stick together forever? Or do they just self-combust?

I'm not really good at making friends. That's simply a fact.
