Even if the second I hear his sexy-as-sin British accent, my ears prick up.

Even if the moment I first catch a glimpse of his plump lips, shaggy hair, and golden skin, I’m floored.

But with my track record, there’s no way it would ever work out. Unless… Maybe… Somehow… He’s different from the others?

Could the sexy Brit be the one to give me my happily ever after?

With only three weeks to learn all they can about each other, Sunny and Alex embark on a crash course that blurs the lines between friendship and romance. As feelings grow and the game show’s climax looms, Alex and Sunny must decide if they’re playing to win or playing for keeps.

Getting my dream bakery internship is great, but I never expected it to come with a side of estranged best friend.

Jack

I haven’t seen my best friend Soren in nine years. The day my older brother died, my world shattered. I threw myself into baking in order to hide from everything and everyone – including Soren.

Now I’ve gotten my dream bakery internship, but the second I walk through the door I see him, and our overdue reunion begins.

I’m not ready for this. We have too much history, and he looks way too good all grown up. My feelings are a mess, and his flirtatious attention during my internship is not helping.

Soren

I hoped when I picked Jack Caddel for this internship that it was my Jack Caddel. My heart has ached every day of the past nine years. I lost not just his brother, but him as well, both of my best friends gone in one fell swoop.

I know it’s selfish to drag him back into my life, but I can’t help how badly I want to see him … and touch him. Jack definitely grew up in the past nine years, and the attraction is as hot as the ovens in this tiny kitchen where we struggle to navigate our new relationship as boss and intern.

I merely meant to comfort Ren, to help him find steady ground in the middle of an ocean of pain. It was supposed to be a one-time thing.

Only… our chemistry, set ablaze by our extreme size and age differences, was something neither of us had experienced before. It was break-the-bed good and far too potent to stop at just the one time, so we didn’t. And we’ve been hiding it from everyone—including his son—ever since.

I know this can only end one way. I’m just the stand-in. The much, much younger guy with his late husband’s physique who’ll temporarily make him forget his grief.

If only he hadn’t been so… sigh. Amazing. Funny. Brilliant. Beautiful.

I didn’t mean to fall in love with him, but I couldn’t help myself. If only he were ready to fall in love again.

His summer training is paying off, his family and friends are warm and supportive, and his new nephew is the cutest thing ever. He’s even had a few casual dates. The only downside to this upcoming amazing season is the fact that he has to face goalie Marcus Newley and the Comets several times. To say there is no love lost between the two men would be an understatement. Granted, Marcus is incredibly handsome and skilled, but those qualities are overshadowed by the man’s ego. The tension between the two goalies has been percolating since senior year of college and one more pithy comment from Basky’s rival might just be all it takes for a reckoning that’s been a long time coming.

Marcus Newley has come a long way in a short time. He’s clawed his way to the top of the Comets roster and is now within reach of his dream: winning that championship cup and securing his chances for a call-up to the pros. The brass ring is within reach, and he is not about to let someone like Baskoro Huda and his team stand in his way. He’s got one very important person counting on him to make those dreams a reality. Unsure of what he ever did to twist the pretty but irritable Gladiators goalie’s shorts into such a tight knot, all he can do is fire back when the verbal barbs are launched from the other end of the ice. The time to focus on hockey is now, and he refuses to let Baskoro take up any more time in his head. It’s an all-out war as far as Marcus is concerned and nothing but complete surrender from Baskoro will satisfy those—and perhaps not so hidden—passions.

Bilson

The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first.

I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage.

So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems.

I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.

When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women.

That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider.

One I can’t stop thinking about.

Miles

My first day as starting goalie for Tennessee is made mildly more terrifying by coming face to face with NHL veteran Cody Bilson. Hero worship? Me? Never!

He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again–without getting married this time.

I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn’t marry a woman again? Blow off steam with a man instead.

We’re both straight, we’re both single, and we’re both down for a good time.

After all, what are teammates for?

Distance seemed the answer to escape my forbidden desires, but eleven years later, I’m still obsessed.

When an accident leaves us stranded with no means of escape, I learn I’m not the only one with fantasies. The draw between us is potent. Too many emotions erupt, laying us both bare, and me desperate to make his dreams come true.

But our four hours of heaven jolt to an end, leaving us on unsteady ground.

Can I convince Preston that we are two perfectly fitted parts of a whole? Or will he allow the tyrannical matriarch of his old money family to dictate who he ought to love?

Until Kevin.

I don’t know what it is about my completely annoying neighbor, but he worked his way under my skin like no one else ever has.

All of that came to a head the night I lost my mind and kissed him.

Me, the man who’s never initiated anything in his life. And suddenly, I can’t get the younger cop next door out of my mind.

Things are going to get complicated if I decide to run for mayor. Yeah, because that’s a thing that happened, too. Don’t get me wrong, the mayor needs to go, but I’ve never had political aspirations.

Settling down and starting a family with a mate was never something I longed for. Instead, I traveled the world working my government job, living for the next adventure. When that time came to an end, I was left adrift. Hooking up with a beautiful omega I met on a kink app was just what I needed to get out of the funk I was in. No names, no expectations. Just some no strings fun and then we’d both go our separate ways.

I never expected my hook-up to turn out to be my fated mate. Instead of accepting fate, I ignored it and hightailed it out of there. I had no intention of being tied down. Until the day I came face to face with my very pregnant fated mate, who was not at all happy to see me.

Wyatt Cooper

Sweet Alps was going to be my new beginning. No more stuffy academia, no more boring projects. Finally, I would be able to do what I enjoyed most, working with children. Buying the Little Cubs Daycare would be the beginning of my new life and freedom.

Imagine my surprise when I got pulled over and the sheriff turned out to be my sexy, nameless app hookup from months before. He wasn’t supposed to be here in my new town. He definitely wasn’t supposed to be delivering my baby on the side of the road, spouting nonsense about us being fated mates.

My anger at seeing him again only cemented my belief that mates were a myth. I might have been naïve enough to not realize what that electric shock between us had meant, but he sure as hell had. Without a word, he left me with nothing but the memories of our night together and a surprise baby as a bonus.

Whoever is calling me better have a true emergency on their hands because if they don’t, they’re going to the land of the blocked. And that includes my mama.

The room finally clears and I discover my phone is filled with picture after picture of adorable kittens in a box. WTH? And then I scroll back far enough to see the initial message. Some guy got this number from an answering service and thought he was calling a rescue. I’m no rescue, but I know a thing about abandoned kittens and something tells me this wrong number isn’t an accident at all… it’s fate.

BLURB:

Austen Page is everything I want in a man.

Brilliant. Gorgeous. Loyal.

There’s only one major problem.

He’s straight.

Or at least I think he is.

I’ve never seen him date, never heard him mention wanting someone.

And I surely would have heard since he’s my best friend’s younger brother.

When pressure rises from all directions, a plan comes forth. One in which Austen helps by pretending to be my boyfriend.

My matchmaking parents will stop pestering me to settle down, and then I’ll be able to write another hit album for my label.

It’s totally foolproof since Austen has never seen me that way.

There is no chance of it getting messy or complicated.

Except…

Things start feeling a lot less fake and a little more real with each day that passes.

I fight between wanting more with him and begging to take things slower so I can savor every moment.

Can forever really exist between us if it starts with a lie?
