He walked away once. I won’t make it easy for him to skate back into my heart. I was the girl he left behind when the NHL came calling. The one who loved him long before he wore the jersey.

But I’m not the same girl who waited by the phone. He’s playing for my forgiveness now. But this time, I’m the one calling the shots. I have a career, a life, and a heart that’s still healing from the hit I never saw coming. Still… when ...

One night. No names. No strings. That was the deal when I let a sexy stranger wreck me in a Denver hotel room. But fate had other plans. Because that man? He just became my brother’s new hockey coach. Grant Maddox is all broad shoulders, growly control, and silver-fox heat. He’s too old for me. Too grumpy. And way too tempting. We said it was just one night, but every look feels like foreplay. Every touch lights me on fire. And walking away? Not happening. We’re crossing lines, chasing highs, and falling harder than either of us planned. I should have known better. But the way he says...

When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making—and it worked.
