TRICK PLAY: fake dating, brother’s best friend and teammate, opposites attract, small town sports romance
Everyone in Heston Lake is obsessed with Heston U’s hockey team except me. I’d rather do a live reading from the spiciest romance on my bookshelf nude than talk hockey. There’s no escaping the players fueling their obsession. My twin brother…and his best friend on the team. #22. Alex Keller. Talented winger. The handsome hotshot player every girl on campus dreams of. And my fake boyfriend for the next two weeks. Playing along is my only option. He’s determined to protect me for real, even if our relationship is fake. The only problem is…he’s too good at pretending. Our act fools everyone—including me.

ICED OUT: rival’s sister, reformed playboy, he falls first and harder, friends to lovers, small town sports romance
Dancing on bartops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University’s infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time. Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky, frustratingly sexy, and accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm. Gaining Easton’s attention wasn’t part of my plans. Of course, from the moment he catches me shaking my assets on the bar, he decides I’m his next goal. Instead of sticking to my own rules, I do something I shouldn’t: I dare him to try.

MATCHING ALL THE WAY: coach’s daughter, brother’s best friend, secret relationship, small town sports romance
Nothing’s more romantic than matching with the same guy every time you reluctantly download a dating app. Even better, Cole Kincaid is unfairly irresistible and the one guy I’ll never have. Hotter than ever—check. Off limits—double check. My brother’s best friend is all grown up, but he’s not here to witness my messy girl era. He’s Dad’s new assistant coach for Heston U’s hockey team. Constantly enduring Cole’s charm in this small town is tempting enough thanks to the pesky crush I never got over. After a bad breakup, I’m only interested in avoiding loneliness. And at rematch number…I’ve lost count, it turns out he wants to help me with that. What begins as an enticing game of sneaking around in secret turns into something neither of us can walk away from. The question is…how long can we hide this?
