Reid Durand isn't here to make friends. Coming from a legacy of hockey greatness, he has games to win and things to prove. With his focus during his first season as a Chicago Rebel on his drive to succeed, every vice is off the table. No booze, no sugar, and definitely no women. Kennedy Clark is the master of the side hustle. She'll walk your dog, brew your espresso, and pick up your dry-cleaning, all while rocking it in Warrior pose. Standing still is impossible for her because the moment she starts to slow down, it'll come rushing back in a torrent. The memories. The pain. The heartbreak. Their meet-cute is more of a freeze-cute. Besides, they already know each other. He's the rude, entitled customer at her coffee shop, or what used to be her coffee shop since she just got fired—because of Mr. Extra Shot Americano himself. Reid didn't intend to get Kennedy fired. He didn't intend to rescue a dog after the poor thing ended up in the lake. And he definitely didn't intend to acquire a new roommate. A curvy, chatty, tempting roommate. Now this perfect storm of events are about to wreak havoc on his neatly-ordered life. Reid Durand isn't here to make friends, and he's certainly not here to lose his heart to a puppy, a team, or a chaos agent like Kennedy. But then we don't always get what we want ...

There’s only one woman I truly care about: my daughter. Until Maisy Stratford flounces into the front office of the Tennessee Thunderbolts with a heartfelt smile and a tray of baked goods. As the Bolts’ newest hire, Maisy is optimistic, enthusiastic, and a goddess at manifestation. Everything I’m not. Known as Brawler, I’m a gruff, quiet, rough-around-the-edges, NHL defenseman. I haven’t dated in decades. I’ve never been married and my daughter’s a twenty-one-year-old mischief maker. I don’t know how to talk about feelings or place my trust in the hands of a woman. Even one with a heart of gold. With my daughter Lola egging me on, I finally ask Maisy out. But I don’t want to be her rebound; I want to be her forever. Even if I don’t know how to tell her that. Even if she’s not ready for me. If I’m being honest, I’m not ready for her either.

Naomi I can't understand why - out of the four hockey players I'm sharing a house with this semester - Finn Howard's the one who catches my eye. The guy never smiles. He doesn't say much and disapproves plenty. But, something about him feels familiar. Something about him feels safe. I'm not falling for Finn, I'm just curious. Could I make him smile? It wouldn't hurt to try. I love a good challenge. And who knows, maybe it'll distract me from pining over a guy I meet online. Finn I don't get nervous unless I'm on the ice. So why does my chest feel tight whenever Naomi Lewis looks in my direction? She's witty, kind, and happy. How is someone that happy all the time? If her sunny disposition isn't enough to distract me, the fact that her voice sounds exactly like the streamer I anonymously moderate for will. If Naomi is her, she's in for a huge disappointment. I'm not the guy she thinks I am...not anymore, at least. And for that reason alone, I should stay away from her. I should stop trying to get closer. I should stop wanting her because she fell for someone else. Someone I will never be again. __ Sunny Disposition is a slow burn, hidden identity romance featuring a grumpy, amnesic hockey player and sunshine cozy game streamer.

Everyone deserves a second chance at love... After inheriting her Aunt Cora’s country cottage, Lauren Bennett decides she’s ready for a change of address. The remote cottage borders a wildlife refuge and will be the perfect place to spend the summer. There’s just one hitch. Next door to the cottage, in a spooky old mansion, lives a mysterious man Lauren can’t quite figure out. When tragedy strikes, JD Mason’s world is turned upside down. Rather than look to his family and teammates for support, he escapes into his grief and shuts everyone away. He abandons the sport he loves and retires from playing hockey at the ripe old age of thirty. His plan to be left alone is shattered when Lauren, a free-spirited ornithologist, barges onto his property and into his life. Together, Lauren and JD will learn to find comfort in their surroundings, come to terms with the past, and discover love a second time around. *Although part of a series, Wild Ice can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Ravens series.*
