I get to help people while working with a major league baseball team. My job is a dream come true, except for the nightmare that is Trace Ridgerton. The team’s catcher, he’s a cocky jerk who reminds me of the kids in high school who bullied me mercilessly. And for some reason, he’s got his eye on me. I’d gotten pretty good at avoiding Trace at every turn, but then I promised my favorite cancer patient a chance to meet the player of his choice. Guess who he picked? I’ll grit my teeth and arrange the meeting, but if Trace does anything to hurt that boy, I will make sure he suffers. Sarah Asiago is a do-gooder who loves everybody. Except me. So far, she’s been utterly resistant to my charms. But she’ll give in eventually. They all do. Finally, I’ll get my chance to pounce on Sarah!

Enjoy book five in this small town sports romance series by USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Mary E Thompson. Eric owed everything to his older sister. She gave up her future to make sure he had one, and he’d never forget what she did for him. He vowed to make it up to her, including giving up the job he wanted to make sure his sister would get it. Except she wasn’t the one who was hired. Jo finally did it. She got the job she always wanted. She’d worked hard, and she’d finally made her dream to coach women’s lacrosse come true. Stepping into a new position wouldn’t be easy, but she was sure the assistant coach, who didn’t apply for the job, would be on her side and help her acclimate to the position with ease. Or maybe not. Eric makes his opinion of Jo clear off the bat, and she isn’t a big fan of his either. They won’t survive the season together, not if they both want to see the other fail as much as they want each other. But which desire will win? Because only one of them can get what they want.

Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right—I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team. And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel—I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me. I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend. For every fake date…he wants a real one. Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him. That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.

An Amazon Charts bestseller. From the New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love. When I joined Seattle's NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain's apartment. Did I mention that he's married to a woman who definitely was not her? Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she's the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she's not the captain's mistress. She's his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister. So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn't her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, new adult sports romance that is laugh out loud funny featuring a strong heroine and the cocky hockey player who falls first and hard for her. Grayson McNichols can have his pick of girls on this campus. Just ask him and he’ll tell you that the females of Hillsdale University have a real penchant for sexy, hockey playing hotties. Hell, all he has to do is flash a smile in their direction and they fall right onto their backs and spread their legs. Would I happen to be one of them? Umm…I’m going to plead the fifth on that one. All right, fine. You caught me. I made the mistake of knocking boots with Gray freshman year. What can I say? I’m a sucker for gorgeous guys with inky black hair, bright blue eyes, and dimples. And don’t even get me started on his chiseled chest and abs of steel… After we hooked up, I never heard from Gray again. Not that I expected too. Okay, that’s a lie. Maybe for one brief, delusional moment, I thought I might be different. You know, the girl who changes the hockey playing bad boy for the better (cue the laughter). But he swiftly disabused me of that notion by moving on to fresh meat in the blink of an eye. Which is precisely why I’ve avoided Grayson like the plague ever since. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and I totally deserve what I get. Well, I don’t plan on falling into that trap ever again. Except…now our parents are dating, and Gray’s come up with a cockamamie plan to break them up that has disaster written all over it. --- “I loved this book!
