Restraint

Girlfriend…without benefits?

Hometown hockey star Blake has zero interest in settling down. He’s got a dream career, loyal fans, and enough post-game attention to keep things fun. So why does the man who avoids commitment suddenly agree to co-parent a stray puppy with his too-serious, always-working neighbor, Erika?

ER doctor Erika doesn’t have time for distractions – especially the flirty, fun-loving hockey player next door. Adopting a dog with Blake is already a terrible idea. So is being his plus-one for charity events. Or seeking comfort with him during a thunderstorm. Or letting him show her new ways to “reduce stress,” she absolutely should not enjoy this much.

But when friendship turns steamy, and their “no strings” arrangement starts feeling a whole lot like neighbors-to-lovers, these two commitment-phobes discover the one thing scarier than falling for the wrong person…is falling for the right one right across the hall.

Resist

This one-night stand is going into overtime.

The Stingrays call hockey goalie Coulton their gentle giant. But that mild disposition disappears the moment the beautiful bartender he’s been watching from across a crowded bar is attacked. In an instant, Coulton’s protective instincts take over.

Ainsley doesn’t have time for any more men in her life. Between working long nights at her family’s dive bar, caring for her ailing father, and cleaning up after her brother’s ever-growing gambling debt, she’s already stretched too thin.

When her brother’s enemies track her down, a sexy determined stranger steps in to save her – and then insists she stay under his protection. What starts as necessity quickly turns into temptation. Ainsley decides she’s earned a reckless indulgence: a one-night stand filled with mind-blowing passion with Coulton, the hottest man she’s ever met. But morning changes everything.

Coulton makes it clear that what they shared was never meant to be temporary. He’s not built for half-measures or goodbyes – and he’s not letting Ainsley walk away. Stubborn, possessive, and unwavering, this alpha hockey goalie has decided she’s his.

Rematch

One night, one kiss, and a spark hot enough to melt the ice.
Preston’s all in on his hockey career as a Stingray, and Chelsea’s just about to start a new adventure in Paris—until an unforgettable night at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party changes everything. A few drinks, some dirty jokes, and a kiss under the mistletoe leads to a night of toe-curling, name-forgetting, no-strings-attached fun. They part ways in the morning, no regrets—just a sizzling memory they both assume will fade.

A year later, Chelsea’s in Baltimore, launching her dream bakery—and navigating life with a baby she never saw coming. The father? Mystery man from that one unforgettable night. What she really didn’t expect? Him walking through her door, very real, very sexy… and very much still capable of making her forget how to breathe.

Preston hasn’t been able to get her out of his head. Now that he knows the truth, he’s not going anywhere. The question is—can they turn one accidental night into a real shot at forever?
