As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.
Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.
Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.
Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.
Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.
Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.
Atlas has been best friends with Gray since they were children so when he passes away and asks him to raise Grayce as his daughter he can’t say no even if that means co-parenting with Maddie, Gray’s other best friend, who he doesn’t get along with. He now finds himself living with Maddie and Grayce and what began as a co-parenting relationship is beginning to feel like a family.
Maddie has been best friends with Gray since they were in college, and she has been there to help his daughter while he tried to fight a devastating disease. She knew that he wanted her to raise his daughter however she didn’t know that included Atlas. She now finds herself uprooting her life and moving across the country to live with Atlas while they try to give Grayce the home she deserves but developing feelings for Atlas wasn’t part of the plan.
Due to their pasts both Atlas and Maddie don’t allow people close, but I enjoyed seeing their evolution as they not only opened their hearts to Grayce but each other as well. The way that the Titans family embraced Maddie and Grayce as they helped her adapt to her new life was heartwarming. Jeremy York and Kirsten Leigh bring out all the feels as Atlas and Maddie deal with their insecurities and their escalating feelings for each other.

“Ms. Dawson,” he said. “Come to insult me some more?”
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. “No. Look, about this morning…”
He tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips. “Go on.”
“I’m truly sorry about what I said.”
“Which part?” The corners of his mouth twitched. Oh, this was amusing to him. Good. At least one of us was enjoying this conversation. “You were right. I had been staring at the bottom of a bottle. A bottle of milk that I was feeding to my little girl.”
“I was way out of line. I assumed way too much, and I was completely unprofessional. And I am truly, truly sorry. I had no idea that…”
What was I supposed to say? “You looked like shit because you were probably up all night with your daughter”? I didn’t know how to phrase that politely, so I just didn’t say anything at all.
Goodness, this man was incredibly handsome. We hadn’t been anywhere near this close this morning, so I hadn’t been able to take in all the fine details, like the curve of his chin and his straight nose.
“Listen, I usually don’t act like that,” I said. “I was just mad that I’d been waiting for an hour, and you didn’t seem interested in what I had to say at all.”
Beckett straightened up, his expression suddenly serious. “Yeah, about that. I have to apologize as well. In all honesty, I hadn’t noticed our meeting on the calendar. I usually check my schedule the night before, but with recent events… I didn’t have time.”
“Of course. Is there anything I can do to make up for the way I acted this morning?”
For the first time since I met him, Beckett smiled at me, and I was completely dazed. His smile was absolutely delicious. He had full lips and dimples at the corners of his mouth.
Damn, the man was gorgeous. He was wearing a different suit from this morning. That one had looked great on him, too, but this was perfection.
“There’s no need. I don’t hold grudges, Ms. Dawson.”
“Piper,” I offered. “Please call me Piper.”
He nodded. “Piper it is.”
“You don’t hold grudges?” I asked.
“No.”
“So, I’m forgiven? That easy?” I teased, realizing that probably wasn’t the case.
He tilted his head again. God, I loved that playful smile on his face.
“Were you hoping that I’d make you work for it?”
I laughed nervously. I didn’t even know what I was hoping for.
Blurb:
I’m the last single LeBlanc brother—famous in New Orleans for being a successful CEO…and a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasn’t on my to-do list…until my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.
Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. I’m running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.
So when I space out during Piper’s pitch, she assumes I’m hungover. Given my reputation, I can’t blame her—but it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I don’t need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.
However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitch…except I’m far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.
I shouldn’t want Piper. I can’t afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.

I’ve been Daisy McKinnon’s dirty little secret for over a decade.
To everyone else, our constant bickering is harmless—like siblings who can’t stop needling each other. But what they don’t know is that behind every jab is a truth. A truth she’s too afraid to admit to herself, let alone anyone else.
She’s the woman I can’t stay away from. My best friend’s little sister and my constant challenge. I’ve laid my heart bare, told her what I want and made it clear she’s the only future I see. But she keeps running—hiding behind excuses, pretending the fire between us doesn’t burn for her too.
The problem is… I’m stuck. There is nobody else for me but her. So, all I can do is wait for her to meet me where I’m at.
But when her safety is threatened, I can wait no longer. She’s coming home with me… where she belongs… where I can keep her safe. Whether her brother likes it or not.
Waylon Ludlow was my first heartbreak—the boy I secretly loved from the sidelines while he ruled Wildhaven High and then disappeared without a word. Now he’s back, all smirks and whiskey-soaked charm, and with a baby no one knew about.
But I’m not the same quiet girl I once was. I’m fire now. Feral, stubborn, and one smart-ass comment away from punching him square in the jaw.
I live loud, love hard, and fight for what matters. And even though Waylon is a mess of mistakes wrapped in faded denim, my heart still skips like it’s seventeen every time he looks at me. And his little girl, well, she’s got me wrapped around her tiny finger.
We clash. We burn. We break things. But the more I push him away, the more I wonder—am I chasing the storm, or is it chasing me?
Sweetwater Mavericks players are good for one thing—tips.

As fun as one-night stands and summer flings are, they never lead anywhere good. Real love doesn’t exist—my mother taught me that.

Hunter Reddick is the talk of the league. He never backs down from a challenge. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, winning run on third? He’s throwing a fast ball for the win. But when Hunter and his new teammates come into my bar, he makes his move on me, not expecting to get benched.
Just as he decides to give up, my carefully guarded walls start to break down. Maybe a summer fling isn’t such a bad idea after all. Except Hunter wants more than a summer. He wants falls, and winters, and something real. And he’s set his sights on me. The one girl who can’t give him that.
I’m the last single LeBlanc brother—famous in New Orleans for being a successful CEO…and a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasn’t on my to-do list…until my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.

My first mistake? Insisting she move in with me.

All she sees is the man who’ll burn down the world to save her.
