Breathe with Me by Becka Mack

Cara Hunter is a self-made woman. Driven and fearless, she’s never lost a battle. In fact, the only time she’s fallen to her knees was, well . . . for him.

Emmett Brodie might be one of hockey’s hottest players, but the moment he sees Cara, he’s reduced to a single word: hers. And he’ll stop at nothing to change her last name.

With a love as all-encompassing and fierce as theirs, they become the ultimate power couple and the backbone of their family. But when they decide it’s time to have a baby, they discover their journey to conceiving will be anything but easy.

As they face off with infertility, a battle that strips them to their bones, they’ll see just how unshakable their foundation really is.

They thought they could survive anything together, but how do you survive when you’re barely breathing?

Tell Me You Love Me by Emilia Finn

Alana Page was mine. And then she wasn’t.

We promised forever. But ten years ago, she ditched town without so much as a goodbye text. Now she’s back… with a kid in tow who was born just 7 months after she left.

It’s no secret I’m just a fighter. I wasn’t particularly gifted in school, and the only reason I graduated at all was because of Alana’s tutoring efforts. But it doesn’t take an academic genius to realize the math ain’t mathing.

Maybe marrying the town’s broke, abused, token troublemaker wasn’t a part of her plans back then.
But I’ll be damned if she gets to slide into town now and not answer for the hearts she broke or the kid who looks a hell of a lot like someone I know.

Tap gloves, Alana. It’s time for round two to begin.

Sweet Temptation by Bella Matthews

Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way.

My brother’s best friend and Philly’s favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.

Until I did... And now I can’t stop.

I’m selfish enough to crave him—his kiss, his body, his heart—even when I know I’ll leave it shattered in the end.

But this can’t happen. We can’t happen. I won’t let us.

Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won’t last forever...

Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn’t the villain. I am.

Lucky by Sawyer Bennett

They call me Lucky for a reason. My grandmother swears I was cursed at birth—yet somehow, I’ve been kissed by fate every day since. I’ve got my rabbit’s foot, a shamrock tattoo, and quirky rituals by the dozen—and it’s all worked so far. Life’s been smooth. Hockey, clout, fun... I’m skating through.

Until I meet Winifred Shaw. Winnie. She’s smart, bold, and laugh-out-loud funny, with a TikTok following that rivals mine and a dating challenge that’s going viral. The premise? Thirty days of dating to prove an average woman can still land a decent guy. I’m the first to accept the challenge—one night, one chance, and then she moves on. But the moment she rolls her eyes at me, I’m hooked.

She thinks I’m just another overhyped athlete with a pretty face and a lucky streak. But I see her—confident, curvy, electric—and I don’t just want a second date. I want every single one after that.

I’ve always trusted luck to get me where I need to be. But this time? I’m ready to fight for it.

Playing Mr. Perfect by Melissa Foster

Okay, I admit it. Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I'm in the City of Love, I'd had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts-two things I never buy into-and I threw caution to the wind.

I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he's already up. In more ways than one.

Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I'm not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.

Actually, he makes it impossible.

The thing is, I don't even know who that woman was.

And now he's determined to find out.

Run the Play by Kaylee Ryan

Rowan
I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me. Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along. He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend. I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.

Landry
I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through. So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels. There’s a good chance I was never faking. This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.

The Boards Between Us by Cassandra Moll

When a devastating injury ended Levi Montgomery’s hockey career, his life was turned upside down. Not only did he lose his roster spot, but he also lost his long-term girlfriend who seemed to want his fame and status more than him. When he got the call to join the coaching staff of the Golden City's hottest hockey team, his life—at least career-wise—finally turned around. Finally, the youngest coach in the NHL has love again—even if it's just his job.

Alex Bennett is no stranger to loss. When she got pregnant at twenty, her boyfriend—and the man who she thought was the love of her life—all but abandoned her and her son. He was out to chase a life of luxury, and she was left alone. Now, juggling two unfulfilling jobs and an even more disappointing love life, she’s sworn off men in suits—especially ones who remind her of her ex.

When Alex and Levi cross paths at a Flames game, neither expects the immediate spark between them. What starts as a simple attraction soon turns into a secret arrangement—but keeping things strictly physical proves harder than they imagined. As their walls begin to crumble, they’re forced to face the truth. Will they risk their hearts for something real, or will they be stuck with more than just the boards between them?

Lucky Shot by Rebecca Jenshak

Nick Galaxy has zero interest in helping anyone write a love story—especially not one about him. He’s a single dad with enough on his plate, and the last thing he needs is a curious, chatty author poking around in his past.

But when Ruby shows up on his doorstep, notebook in hand and determined smile on her face, resistance becomes... complicated.

She’s supposed to be here for research. Instead, she’s moving into the empty cabin on his property, asking personal questions, and somehow roping him into teaching her how to skate.

He’s not looking for love—but she’s writing it into every inch of his life.

And the more time they spend on the ice, the harder it is to pretend she doesn’t already have his heart.

Tee'd Up For Trouble by Maya Alden

One American Billionaire + One Irish Pub Owner = Trouble

Burned by betrayal, Jax Caldwell, golf’s answer to Henry Cavill, needs a break from the spotlight. He didn’t expect to find it in the form of a busted Porsche on a muddy road leading to the edge of nowhere: Ballybeg, Ireland.

The only vacancy in town is a cramped room above The Banshee’s Rest, a crumbling pub owned by the fierce, breathtaking Deirdre Gallagher.

Dee has no time for spoiled American playboys, no matter how sinful their smiles—she’s too busy trying to save her family’s legacy and protect the village from developers hell-bent on paving over their lands.

As sparks fly and their slow-burn attraction threatens to boil over, old betrayals resurface—ones that could cost Dee her everything, and Jax, the woman he’s fallen in love with.

Play Me by Adriana Locke

He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me. I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was.

My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.

Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god.

Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn. A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn.

Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me. And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should.

But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played?

Single Glance by K.C. Brooks

When it comes to Cam Seda, the lines are clear. He’s my best friend’s ex and the father of her daughter. The one man who I cannot cross any lines with.

He might look like he’s been carved out of marble, and has a smile that melts me to my core, but that’s where the attraction ends. Ever since our paths first crossed, we’ve been at each other’s throats, neither willing to concede an inch to the other.

However, when we find ourselves in each other’s orbits, those lines thin, and I can’t remember why we’ve never gotten along. In fact, the more time I spend with Cam, I realize he might be exactly who I’ve been looking for all along.

As I get to know the man beneath the baseball jersey, it gets harder to ignore the pull between us. With each moment we share, the more I want him, and it’s getting harder to remember why we can’t be together.

With more hearts than ours on the line, it’s a dangerous game. And one I can’t help but play.

The Grump Next Door by Brighton Walsh

Our first kiss was a lie. Our second was a mistake. And the night we spent tangled up in each other? Hot as hell but a complete disaster.

Because now Sutton Sinclair—the sharp-tongued troublemaker who left claw marks down my back and a dent in my self-control—is living in my backyard cottage with her teenage daughter. And I’m her goddamn landlord.

I like things quiet. Controlled. She's neither. Sutton’s chaos wrapped in sunshine, a temptation in scrubs I can’t seem to stay away from. When her ex shows up acting like Sutton’s still his to lose, I claim her on instinct. The kiss? Hot. The fallout? Immediate.

Now my family—and the entire town—thinks we’re a couple. Fake dating Sutton wasn’t in my playbook, but if being a pro-footballer turned high school coach has taught me anything, it’s how to pivot. All I have to do is keep my hands to myself.

Then her cottage floods. Now we’re sharing a roof…and a bed. The line between real and fake is blurring faster than I can redo the guest house. This is supposed to be temporary. But Sutton doesn’t just crash into my life—she rewrites it. She’s in my home, moaning my name, breaking every rule I’ve ever lived by.

And I’m starting to want something permanent with the woman who’s already got one foot out the door.

Only For Tonight by Natasha Madison

When one night changes everything.

Ariella

The last time I saw him, I'd just turned eighteen. Six years later we're face-to-face again. Neither of us wanted the night to end. The next morning, we made a pact. Each of us going our separate ways. Until two pink lines changed everything.

Jaxon

Life was going my way. Hockey. Family. All of it. Until...I saw her. She was different now. One thing led to another and we got carried away. It was supposed to be one night. Our secret. Then she's at my door with news that rocks my world. I'm going to be a dad.

Playing Games by Max Monroe

Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to winning on and off the field…until he meets the one woman who changes the game.

Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic, and confident enough to make my teeth grind. He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge.

Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda. But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that I could put to the test a little more.

I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all that attraction is nothing but science…and love is a mere figment of the imagination.

Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific. Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.

Mad Rivals by Lisa Suzanne

Pro football legend Madden Bradley was never supposed to be anything but my enemy. With one season left on his contract, he’s set to take over his family’s empire, and I’m his business rival. Forced into a partnership we both resent, the last place I should be is tangled in his sheets.

Now we’re stuck working together, and the more we clash, the more explosive the tension becomes…until it finally detonates.

He’s maddening, charming, and completely addictive. And when he murmurs exactly what he’s going to do to me, I forget that he’s supposed to be the enemy.

Our forbidden romance has to stay between us. Our families can’t find out. Our companies can’t know. The truth could destroy everything we’ve worked for.

But when we discover a buried secret together, Madden faces an impossible choice: The legacy he was born to lead… or the woman he was never supposed to fall for.

Red Zone by Riley Paige

Carter
I’ve spent my whole life proving people wrong. From foster homes to the football field, I clawed my way out, one yard at a time. And now? I’m on the verge of everything I’ve worked for. The draft. The NFL. The future I’ve always dreamed about. Except all I can think about… is her. Lyla Harding– my coach’s daughter.

Lyla
Carter Hayes is a walking headline waiting to happen. And I’m the one who’s supposed to keep his image clean. He’s infuriating. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore. And the more I tell myself he’s just another assignment… the harder it gets to pretend he isn’t everything I’ve ever wanted. Choosing him could cost me everything I’ve worked for. But staying away might break me anyway.

Lessons in Heartbreak by Karla Sorensen

It’s an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak?

Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical.

Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?

Avoiding him after the mix-up is impossible. The man is everywhere—put in time-out by his agent after a PR snafu. Griffin might be an outrageous flirt determined to torment me until I snap, but he’s also the perfect man to help me.

The lessons aren’t what I thought they’d be. Neither is Griffin. Every time we touch, every time he shows me a different side to myself—and to him—I can’t help but wonder if we’re about to break another rule: the playboy and the good girl aren’t supposed to fall in love.

Lucky Shot by K. Bromberg

Our first meeting? He stood me up. Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him. Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.

It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.

The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.

That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.

He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.

But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?

His Last Shot by Elaine Evans

Everyone loves the tall, funny, successful, and ridiculously handsome pool shark, Johnny Givens. He’s the guy every woman wants. So why hasn’t he found the one? At forty-five years old, he’s tired of the dating scene, tired of not clicking with any woman that crosses his path. He’s over it.

Rachel Garcia hopes for a better life, but for now, she bartends at her overbearing Uncle Dexter’s bar. And as for love, she has a few rules. No dating customers, no dating older men. Sounds simple enough. Yet, it’s the rheumatoid arthritis she’s battled since childhood that makes everything feel so difficult and hopeless. Why would anyone stick around long term? Chronic illness isn’t something you expect to deal with at the age of thirty. Life is so unfair.

Then Johnny happens. He’s a customer, fifteen years older, and everything she doesn’t want. As luck would have it, she’s forced to see a lot of him when he joins the local pool league at Dexter’s. Now, nothing is ever the same. With her heart or her life.

Johnny is smitten. Sparks fly, and chemistry erupts unlike anything he’s ever felt before. Dates spent stargazing with her are the building blocks to the love story he has always desired. If only it were that simple. Rachel’s insecurities, a dangerous uncle who runs an illegal gambling ring, and an ex-fiancé who wants her back, all threaten to destroy Johnny’s last shot at love.

Tempting The Goalie by R.C. Stephens

He’s a six-foot-four hockey Adonis on the ice—and a heartbreaker off it.

Luc Chabot has always been the most gorgeous guy in town, with stormy gray eyes and muscles for days. The catch? He’s also my best friend.

When my NHL hockey player boyfriend cheats on me and leaves my confidence in pieces, Luc is the one who shows up just like he always does. But this time, I need more than a shoulder to cry on. I need to feel wanted. Desired. Alive again.

Luc is Riverside U’s golden boy the guy every girl wants. When his reputation takes a hit, I make him a deal: I’ll help clean up his image… and he’ll help remind me exactly what I’ve been missing. No strings. No feelings. Just friends crossing lines we swore we never would.

Then his hands start lingering in places they shouldn’t. His voice drops, low and rough, when he says my name. And the heat between us turns into something I can’t pretend away. He’s not a forever kind of guy.

Yet the way he touches me, it feels like everything I’ve ever wanted. And that’s the most dangerous part of all.

High Sticking the Heart by Marie M.

Ariella Contreras doesn’t have time for distractions. She’s fought hard for her independence, determined to break free from cultural tradition, family expectations, and anything that could derail her career. So when a tall, cowboy hat-wearing Texan with Wranglers tight enough to test the strongest will begs her to pose as his fake date to dodge an ex? She should’ve stuck to her first instinct and told him to get lost.

Because the man she was never supposed to see again? Turns out he’s Dalton Langley, star player for the hockey team she’s just been hired to coach on… and the son of her new boss.

Now, with her job under scrutiny and the team owner watching her every move, walking away from the charade isn’t an option. To protect her position, Ariella has to keep up the act. At least until she proves she belongs on this team because of her performance, not because of who she’s dating.

Dalton’s plan this season is simple: stay out of the tabloids, stay focused, and definitely don’t get involved with anyone. Especially not the new strength coach who challenges him at every turn and makes him feel like he's more than just a headline.

What was supposed to be one night of fake dating is quickly spiraling into something neither of them saw coming. The lines between real and fake begin to blur, and walking away might end up hurting like a High Stick to the Heart.

The Favorites by Layne Fargo

Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Sara Ney

I didn’t mean to roast Gio Montagalo, goalie and crown jewel of The Houston Baddies hockey team. Honestly, I was screaming at the TV in a sports bar like any self-respecting sports junkie does when their team is on a losing streak! So when his twin sister sidles up on the stool beside me, laughing at my commentary, I figured I’d made a fan, too. What I didn’t expect? For her brother—the guy I called “a flashy ice peacock with the reflexes of a sloth”—to hear about it.

Yikes. What were the odds?! Next thing I know, Gio is in my DMs with a challenge: “Hold up a sassy sign at my game and hit me with your best shot. Roast me in front of everyone.” For him, it’s fun. For me, it’s humiliating. But I did it. Glitter included. And because the universe thrives on chaos, the Baddies won.

Now Gio thinks I’m his good luck charm, begging me to show up with more signs. He also wants to see me—off the ice. What does a hot, hockey hunk want with a bookish girlie like me?

I try to keep my distance. Mostly. Soon, Gio is showing up at my job for swoony kisses and trying to charm my dog—also named Gio—and failing because my dog hates him at first sight. I wonder if this whole “lucky charm” thing has less to do with hockey and more to do with the overwhelming, undeniable pull I feel toward him. Or maybe it’s fate’s way of showing me that sometimes, the guy you roast on national TV can be the one you accidentally fall for.

Make The Play by Hailey Rodger

Chase

I may or may not have been in love with Zoe Carlson for years, she just doesn’t know it. To her, I’m an arrogant, insufferable defenseman. Her favorite headache. A guy who flirts because he likes to rile her up, who pushes her buttons for fun. The jokester. And maybe I was. Until the night I finally kissed her. Until the night I finally had her. Until the morning she walked away like it meant nothing. Now, she’s mine—at least in the public eye. A PR stunt. A media play. Something I’m supposed to fake. But when she lands herself in real danger? Game over. And if she thinks there’s anything fake about that, she’s about to learn that when it comes to her, I’ll always make the play.

Zoe

Chase Walton is a menace. Arrogant, too damn pretty for his own good, and my brand-new fake boyfriend. It started as damage control. A PR stunt to clean up his reputation after an ill-advised video from his playboy past surfaced. He needed stability, an image overhaul—and apparently, I’m it. Never mind that I work for his hockey team’s PR department. Never mind that we’re in the same social circle, or that his favorite activity is getting under my skin. Never mind that I made the catastrophic mistake of sleeping with him once and now can’t stop thinking about it. It’s fine, I can handle all of that. I can handle the staged dates, the cameras, the way he looks at me like he already knows I’d let him do it again. What I can’t handle is the part where it stops feeling fake. The part where he moves me into his condo, takes up my space, my air, my sanity. The part where a real threat puts me in danger, and Chase stops playing pretend. Because the thing about Chase Walton is, he plays to win. And this time? He’s playing for me.

Until It Was Love by Pippa Grant

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley. He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas.

While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

Plus, his mustache is as terrible as the reason he’s picked me to be the woman he wants to date. But he has one big checkmark in the why this date is a good idea column: he’s my brother’s new teammate.

They already hate each other. And my brother has made an unfortunate habit of interfering with my love life recently. So a revenge date with Fletcher to make my brother mad? While letting Fletcher think this date is merely for the good of the team?

Yep. I’m in. I’m moving to London for work in a month. And it’s just one date. What could possibly go wrong?

Forever Wild by Emma Kate

I’ve hit rock bottom. Fresh off the worst year of my life, I’m at a golf course in the middle of nowhere to lick my wounds after my cheating ex destroyed me, my professional golf career, and my belief in love and commitment in one fell swoop.

I am focused on one thing and one thing only—my game. Until I run into a ball-stealing, trash-talking goddess, that is.

I tried to keep my distance, but have you met Bryn? She's stunning, but it's so much more than that. She is whip-smart, funnier than hell, and makes me rethink every priority I’ve set for myself.

Before I know what hits me, I’m in deep, ready to hand over my heart and never look back.
