Neal Fisher knows heartbreak. It’s the clock ticking down in the Super Bowl. It’s missing the most important field goal of his life. It’s losing everything: his thirteen year career as an NFL kicker, his future, and his pride.
Jamie Wright knows love. It’s everything on the line as the crowd holds their breath. It’s a perfect kick as the ball soars through the goal posts. It’s NFL fame and glory laid out before him.
Neal is on his way out, and Jamie–if he can withstand the tryout pressure– is on his way in. The one person Jamie should avoid is the veteran kicker, and the last thing Neal wants is to sink Jamie’s chances. But a chance meeting and a wild and undeniable chemistry proves to be irresistible.
Neal thought he knew heartbreak. Jamie thought he knew love.
They were both wrong.
Their romance is forbidden. Their love is a secret.
But if they trust each other, maybe their growing relationship won’t end in tragedy. It might even be the beginning of football’s greatest love story.

Noel used to be a cop and he grabs the chance to investigate something real. DNA is evidence. No matter what Adam says, the ghosts don’t prove anything.
But the past is done hiding and the spirits are going to have their say. Noel better figure out how to listen, because Adam’s job, their relationship, and even his sanity are at risk.

All Alphas are assholes. That’s what my good-for-nothing mother drilled into my head when I was growing up. They only wanted one thing, and once they got it? You’d end up knocked up and alone, forced to deal with your unwanted mistakes.
I believed it, too, until Oakley came striding into my life. If there was such a thing as perfection, Oakley was it. Just one look and I knew I needed to have him, but what was supposed to be a night of fun turned into two. Then three. Then four…
The last thing I expected was to fall in love with the guy and yet, here I am. There’s only one little problem—my Alpha is promised to someone else.
I need to figure out how to convince Oakley to stay, and fast, because the clock is ticking and I’m not ready to say goodbye.

Falling into his arms—and his bed—was easy.
And, as it turns out? So was falling in love.
Now, only weeks away from the wedding that will ultimately be my undoing, I need to make a decision—is Eden worth giving up everything I know for a chance at happiness?
