Я увидела Джейми первой. Но это было неважно. Потому что сначала он посмотрел на нее…

Просто невероятно, как сердце начинает учащенно биться при одном взгляде на человека, которого ты когда-то любила…

И вот он снова стоит на моем пороге. Только на этот раз нет ни дождя, ни гнева, ни приглашения на свадьбу — только мы. Мой старый друг, способный утешить в любую минуту. Но чтобы правильно рассказать нашу с Джейми историю, нужно вернуться назад, к началу. К тому, как мы встретились в детстве, столкнувшись на велосипедах.

Это мое письмо любви к тебе, Джейми. Надеюсь, однажды ты его прочитаешь…

Два билета на матч. Одна гениальная идея. Ноль заинтересованности в отношениях. План прост: совершенно незнакомый, горячий, желательно веселый и одинокий парень будет занимать одно из мест на стадионе на каждой игре сезона. А я займу место рядом с ним. Одна игра — одно заранее спланированное свидание. Мне не удалось придумать лучшего способа использовать билеты, которые я купила для бывшего. Я люблю действовать согласно плану, и моя задумка должна увенчаться успехом. Так я считала, пока в моей жизни не появился Зак. Самонадеянный, властный. И великолепный… Он меня бесит. Зак способен привлечь любую девушку, у которой…

Ноа Беккер сулит одни неприятности. Так убеждала меня мама, когда я, еще ребенком, хихикала над играми, которые он придумывал. Так утверждали жители города, когда умер его отец и братья Беккер слетели с катушек. И так думала я в тот день, когда шла на винокурню, где он работал, чтобы купить подарок своему жениху. Ноа — возмутитель спокойствия. Мерзкий, грубый бунтарь. Но, сколько бы ни убеждала себя, я не могу избежать встречи с Ноа. И чем чаще я с ним сталкиваюсь, тем сильнее он меня бесит. Потому что видит то, чего остальные не замечают: меня настоящую. Ту, которой мне быть запрещено. Я — Руби Грейс Барнетт, дочь мэра. Скоро я стану…

Круглосуточный доступ на лед и закулисные тайны жизни спортивной звезды — уникальный контент.Вот только эта спортивная звезда — Винс Танев. У него обольстительная ухмылка и горящие карие глаза, а шрам над бровью сводит с ума всех его поклонниц.

Богатый самоуверенный плейбой — я хорошо знаю таких парней и не хочу иметь с ним ничего общего. Но менеджер его хоккейной команды и мой босс заключают взаимовыгодное соглашение. Чтобы повысить рейтинги репортажей, целый месяц я буду освещать жизнь Винса, будь то тренировки и участие в играх или вечеринки и утренний кофе дома.

Как бы я ни старалась беречь свое сердце, меня предает собственное тело. И если он прикоснется ко мне, я поддамся желанию. Я думала, что один месяц с Винсом Таневым — это игра, в которой я легко выиграю. Но, возможно, он достойный соперник.

В объятиях брата моей лучшей подруги я как никогда близка к греху. Взгляд Тайлера скользит по моим губам, и я вспоминаю, как впервые поцеловала его семь лет назад, прежде чем покинула этот город и поклялась никогда не возвращаться. Его руки сжимают мою талию, и я вспоминаю боль, когда он отверг меня, и весь мой мир рухнул. Мы не принадлежим друг другу и не должны целоваться. Я старалась держаться подальше от Тайлера, но, когда свадьба его сестры возвращает нас в тот же город, в тот же дом, я не могу избежать встречи с ним, как бы ни старалась. Он всегда рядом, его темные глаза завораживают, маня в свои глубины. Воспоминания о нас…

A Second Chance Holiday Romance

From bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a cozy second-chance romance about love, loss, and adventure...

When I decided to surprise my family in Wellhaven, Vermont for Christmas, I never could have known that I'd get a surprise of my own -- in the form of an unexpected blizzard.

I haven't been home in four years, not since I left this town with my eyes set on adventure.

And my heart set on forgetting the only man I’ve ever loved.

River Jensen -- my ex-husband.

I don't plan on seeing him during my visit. I definitely don't plan on him saving me when my little rental car slides off the icy road. And the last thing I could have ever prepared for is being stuck in a tiny cabin with him, waiting out the storm.

Four years have passed since I've seen him -- the boy I loved, now a man I don't know at all.

But being stuck inside with him leaves us nothing but time together.

Everything about him has changed, and yet, he still has the same forest green eyes that have haunted me since I left. Back then, we were at an impasse. Back then, there was nothing left to talk about, nothing left to fix. Back then, the only choice I had was to leave and start anew.

But the more I re-discover the man I left behind, the more I question why I ever left at all.

And if I’m too late to find my way back home.

The Christmas Blanket is a stand-alone holiday novella set in a snowy small town in Vermont.

Моя жизнь закончилась. Я поклялась, что никогда не буду работать на фамильном заводе по производству виски и не стану частью наследия моего отца. Но после получения диплома художника мне пришлось присоединиться к чужому семейному бизнесу. Я получила собственную художественную студию, о которой всегда мечтала, и работу, которая кормит.

Мне казалось, что все будет неплохо. Пока не выяснилось, что моим новым боссом стал Логан Беккер.

Братья Беккеры имеют репутацию плохих парней, а поскольку я всегда любила неприятности, то неудивительно, что влюбилась в Логана в первый же день работы на винокурне. Этот статный, слишком горячий мужчина ненавидит меня, и не мне его винить.

Наши семьи враждовали десятилетиями. Беккеры и Скутеры – это Монтекки и Капулетти из Стратфорда, штат Теннесси.Но что, если он Ромео, а я Джульетта? Все знают, чем закончилась эта история. Именно поэтому нужно держаться от него подальше.

Ведь если отец узнает, что я влюбилась в Логана Беккера, он убьет меня. И моего возлюбленного тоже.

Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants.

Except me: the coach’s daughter.

With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.

He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.

But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.

I remind him I’m off limits.
He can’t have me, and I don’t want him — or anyone else, for that matter.

I’m here for one reason: to show my father I'm more than his greatest disappointment.

But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.

We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close.

I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.

Otherwise, he’ll be off the team.
And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

As if things aren’t already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A cocky kick returner and my brother’s best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he’s as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I hate him, and for good reason — reason I won’t ever let him forget.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
He thinks because we grew up together that it’s his role to protect me, but all he does is get in my way, make me look weak, and piss me off more.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I tell him I can handle myself, and I’m hell-bent on getting that point across to him and the rest of the nation watching the only girl in collegiate football.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The pressure doesn’t get to me. The scrutiny? I’m ready for.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But sharing very thin walls with Zeke Collins? I wasn’t prepared for that.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And the more we’re forced together, the harder it is to distinguish that pencil-thin line between hating him… and wanting him.⁣⁣

I have a three date rule—but it's not what you think.



See, I've been told I'm the "good time girl," not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I've since embraced it—living the wild and free life and sticking to a three date max. That's just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it's been working for me for years . . . Until Makoa Kumaka.



Sadly, he also has a three date rule—and it's the exact opposite of mine. From the second I meet him, all I can think about is stripping down that six-foot-five Herculean hunk of a man. But like the gentleman I wish he wasn't, he's making me wait.



The more time we spend together, the more I feel those pesky emotions creeping in. I'm even tempted to trust him, but blame it on my past or my instincts, I can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something . . .



I've been playing the game forever, and no man has ever won my heart—which meant they never had the power to break it. But maybe I just hadn't met the right player.



Maybe I'll wish I never did.

Leo F*cking Hernandez. North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list. And now?
He’s my new roommate. I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him. He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist. “The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either. But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin. At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse. Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess. Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible. Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so. He’s broken my heart once.
I won’t let him do it again.

My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up... Men are trash. Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart. After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right - and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady. Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens. Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter's kindergarten…

Save Your Breath is book four in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees. They do not need to be read in order, but you will gain glimpses of future characters/couples in each book.

Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart. Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend? I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I'm quickly reminded how much he still haunts me. I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn't having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn't exist at all. The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It's worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house.…

My brother's teammates know not to touch me - but that doesn't stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.

After one steamy night in Austin, I'm all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe - and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.

It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.

But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.

I can't help but touch him. I can't help but pray for him to touch me. And I can't resist the temptation to test him at every turn.

Jaxson is smart and doesn't have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself... the jerk.

But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.

When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.

Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn't, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.

And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I'm not the only one.

Bestselling authors Brittainy C. Cherry and Kandi Steiner come together for the first time in an emotional compilation of poetry and prose. Written and collected over the course of more than two years, A Love Letter from the Girls Who Feel Everything is an intimate, honest, and raw assemblage of two women’s feelings in a modern world that often quiets any kind of emotion past indifference.

Discussing themes of love, worth, loss and hope, A Love Letter from the Girls Who Feel Everything is a journey of discovery and healing.

“We are the girls who feel everything.

And this is our love letter. To you, to them, to us, to the world, to no one at all. Whether it’s the brightest, sunniest day where everything is perfect, or the darkest, dreariest night of rain where life seems unbearable — we have lived it, we have survived it, and we have felt every, blissful, aching second.

Here’s to embracing the feels, to the brave souls that listen to the way their hearts beat and aren’t afraid to ask someone else if they feel those same beats, too. Here’s to the girls, the boys, the love we sometimes share and the love we all-too-often conceal.

And more than anything, Reader — here’s to you.”

Known as one of the youngest and most ambitious poker players in the country, Skyler Thorne has a reputation to uphold in Vegas this year. Her sole focus for spring semester is to perfect her game and get tournament ready – and have some fun with her sorority sisters, of course. Meeting a care-free pledge with incredible arms adds a whole new element of fun to her semester, but when a shocking discovery about his past surfaces, Skyler finds herself stuck in a game she wasn’t prepared to play.

Kip Jackson is on a mission from his father. His plan was to get in, have a little fun, and then get out – on to bigger and better things. A feisty girl with bright blue eyes wasn’t on his list of things to do, but she quickly moves her way up to the very top. When he realizes completing his dad’s mission means crushing her in the process, he must decide if his dreams are worth the risk – or if he even has the same dreams, at all.

Two secrets. Two hearts. Two hands being played in one twisted game of deceit.

When the cards are on the table, will anyone be left standing?

The perfect poker face can only hide them for so long

It’s a man’s world.

When I declared sports medicine as my major and every man narrowed their eyes, that saying proved true. It was true when my ex-husband decided I’d give up my career when our daughter was born. And again when I divorced the Chief of Police in our small town, and he made it painfully clear that I could leave him, but I would never be free.

Landing the job as the new athletic trainer for Stratford’s high school team is my chance to start over. And walking into a male-dominated sport and staff, I’m ready for the challenge.

I’m not ready for Jordan Becker.

The head coach of our championship winning team is a Herculean force of…

Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.

But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.

He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.

And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.

Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.

Until it was the worst.

I watched him fall in love with someone else, and…
