Bill Keenan played hockey at Harvard University from 2005 to 2008 and professionally in Europe from 2009 to 2012. After completing his MBA at Columbia Business School, he worked for two years in Deutsche Bank’s investment banking division. He currently serves as COO of Graydon Carter’s Air Mail.
Julian Langley has everything a man could ever want—a sprawling Manhattan townhouse, a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, and ownership of the New York Vipers, one of the most coveted franchises in professional hockey. What he doesn’t have, and will never allow himself, is anyone who matters too much. Carrying a devastating loss that completely reshaped him, Julian has since built his life around the certainty that nothing will ever cost him that dearly again.
Harper Hawthorne isn’t looking for a billionaire. She’s looking for a way to keep the lights on. Single-handedly holding her world together since she was a teenager, Harper works two jobs, lives in a rent-controlled apartment on the Lower East Side, and sacrifices everything for her younger brother. When an unexpected phone call lands her a chauffeur job behind the wheel of Julian’s car, she takes it for exactly what it is: a paycheck.
Julian notices everything about her. Harper tries not to notice anything about him. What begins as a professional arrangement starts to crack at the edges when Harper proves, repeatedly and effortlessly, that she’s unlike anyone Julian has ever encountered before. She’s too sharp to ignore, too genuine to keep at arm’s length, and entirely unimpressed by his world in a way that makes it impossible for him to stop thinking about her.
Julian doesn’t do commitment. Harper doesn’t believe in fairy tales. But some collisions are inevitable and some people are worth every risk you swore you’d never take again.
Julian is a slow-burn hockey romance about a guarded billionaire, the woman who got under his skin without trying, and the long road back to trusting that a second shot at love is always worth the leap.

When I make the cheerleading team for Seattle’s pro football organization, there are many rules.
Most notably? Stay away from the football players.
Everyone on my squad takes that warning to heart. I, on the other hand, take it as a challenge. Especially after I meet Braden Lock. With his easy smile, endless patience, and heart-of-gold reputation, the star receiver is everything I’m not — soft where I’m sharp, steady where I’m mayhem. Braden Lock has always played by the rules. Unfortunately for him, I’m very good at breaking them. And after one unexpected turn of events leaves me spiraling, I convince the league’s golden boy to indulge in one very forbidden distraction: me. What starts as secret hookups and harmless fun quickly turns into something far more dangerous — because the more time we spend sneaking around behind closed doors, the harder it becomes to pretend we’re not already in too deep. But our organization has one ironclad rule: players and cheerleaders are strictly off limits. If anyone finds out about us, Braden’s contract — and my spot on the squad — could disappear overnight. We knew the risks of our illegal formation. We just didn’t realize the real danger wasn’t getting caught. It was how badly we’d destroy ourselves trying to hold on.

🏈Review🏈 Braden is a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, and he is determined to succeed as his family is counting on him. When Emily becomes a cheerleader he is drawn to her fun and flirty personality as those are in short supply in his life. He knows that he should keep his distance as getting personally involved could end both their careers however she is a force of nature that draws him in.
Emily is still trying to find her place in life, and she is hoping that becoming a cheerleader will give her the fulfillment she is looking for. She can’t help but try to get a reaction from Braden every time they see each other and show him that there is more to his life than responsibilities.
The chemistry and connection between them was unparalleled, the banter humorous and the way they support each other with everything they are going through is heartwarming especially when it comes to the turmoil they are both experiencing when it comes to their families. Aaron Donahue and Audrey Obeyn were the perfect choices for Braden and Emily as you could feel every emotion as well as the bond the characters shared.
Welcome to Saddle Ridge, where life is hard and love is wild…
Maddox
I’m no stranger to hard work. I’ve got a family ranch that’s on the brink of collapse, a grandfather whose health is fading, and a laundry list of other responsibilities that demand my constant attention.
Every sunrise brings a new fight. There’s no time to worry about what might have been with the girl who got away.
But it seems I’ve avoided Amelia King for as long as I can.
One reckless ranch hand making trouble at her bar is more than I can afford. Her outlaw cousin and his gang of gearheads won’t take kindly to the mess my man has made. So I swallow my pride and head into town to make things right.
The moment I spot her, she takes my breath away. Still gorgeous and igniting that familiar fire in my veins, just the sight of her brings back all of my memories. But before I can grab a broom or write a check for the damages, an unexpected phone call interrupts our chaotic reunion.
With my grandfather’s legacy now on the line, I’m desperate to preserve it if it’s the last thing I do. We’re facing an enemy with a dangerous connection to Amelia of all people, and they’re determined to stop me no matter who gets hurt in the process. As the stakes get higher, lives hang in the balance, so I do exactly what my sister begs me not to. Forming an alliance with the Fallen Demons Motorcycle Club could cost my family everything. But there’s something more dangerous than going into business with the outlaws: admitting I’m in love with their vice president’s cousin.
He’s the league’s most dangerous enforcer. She’s the specialist sent to determine whether he’s too broken to save.Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the truth hits back.
The fight is far from done. Who will live, who will die when the Weavers plans fall to ashes and the Skull and Bones enter the scrap. The Bloody Skull has made many mistakes but he refuses to see his child in all but name, the Blade, fall. Bogie is dying but he for the first time has family so he will die doing everything he can to help them. Jeb and Bose have their backs to the wall but it wasn’t the first time and it wouldn’t be the last. Humanity is arriving and he refuse to let some red lightning spewing Blood-Elf Bitch end his road…..
Will they survive? Will Bogie die? In what City will Humanity and Jeb’s soldiers land? And can he get to them in time?
She thinks he’s arrogant. He thinks she’s judgmental.
Neither one of them can stay away from each other.
Rule number one of being a sports journalist. Never get too close to the players.
Rule number two. Oops, too late.
Nate Sandler is the franchise quarterback for the Harbor Bay Hawks. He is confident, infuriating, and way too charming for his own good.
I’ve made it my job to ask tough questions, while he’s built a reputation of dodging them. Every time we are in the same room, the interviews turn into verbal sparring matches.
Especially when he makes a point to call me sweetheart in front of my peers. I should hate it. Instead, my pulse spikes for all the wrong reasons.
To top it all off, my boss assigns me to an exclusive interview with the same man who hates the press as much as he does losing. For the sake of my career, I can’t exactly turn it down. How hard can it be? It’s only a few weeks after all.
Well, the joke is on me because this isn’t as simple as I thought.
Not when every smirk feels like a challenge and every touch feels like a dare. Instead of keeping things professional, I’m breaking every rule and boundary I set for myself.
Now the closer I get, the more I realize Nate is not the man I thought he was. And that’s a problem, because I’m falling for the one man who could derail my career with a single headline.
If I’m not careful, the story I’ve been chasing might not just cost me my career, but my heart too.
He’s the goalie she swore she wouldn’t love. She’s the future he never thought he’d find.
Briggs I always believed in happily-ever-after. I just never thought it belonged to me. Then Tia Monroe told me to get lost. Everyone says she doesn’t date hockey players. Her eyes tell me there’s a reason. I intend to find out what it is. And then I’m changing the ending. Because Tia isn’t a game to win. She’s the future I never thought I’d find. And I’m not giving up until she believes in forever again.
Tia Getting kids into college? Easy. Dating a hockey player? Never again. I already know how that story ends… In humiliating bets and being treated like a prize. But Briggs Ward refuses to fit the mold. He won’t stop showing up. And he won’t stop treating me like I’m something precious. The more I learn about him, the more I realize we’re both carrying scars neither of us deserved. I swore I’d never fall for a man like him. But I’m beginning to think there is no one else like him. There’s just Briggs. And somehow, without me ever seeing it coming, he’s changing everything I thought I knew about love.
❤️Review From the moment that Briggs saw Tia he knew that she was the woman he had been waiting for however now he needs to convince her as she wants nothing to do with him. With the help of his teammates he comes up with a perfect plan that will have them working together and he will use that time to show her that his career doesn’t dictate who he is.
Tia is bold, brash and doesn’t back down from anyone or anything. Due to her past she wants nothing to do with a hockey player however she is about to realize that he is unlike any man she has ever known and there is nothing he wouldn’t do to not only protect her but to be with her as well.
Briggs will do anything for those he loves both when it comes to his family and to Tia. The romance between them is enchanting and he is everything you could want in a boyfriend and more.
