Rockstar on the run. Small town in crisis. One stubborn woman who might just be his salvation.
When a PR disaster sends world-famous rockstar Blaze Nelson crashing into the middle of nowhere, his management team orders him to lay low in Mustang Mountain—the one place he swore he’d never go back to.
But this small town has bigger problems than a grumpy celebrity sulking on a ranch. When a deliberate act of sabotage blocks the only road in or out, the entire town is cut off—and survival depends on everyone pulling together.
Grace Hartman has always fought to keep Mustang Mountain strong, delivering food to those who need it most. The last thing she needs is a spoiled rockstar getting in the way—especially one who’s far too charming for her own good.
When the town crisis forces Grace and Blaze into an uneasy partnership, sparks fly in more ways than one. And when a storm traps them together in a remote cabin, they both confront truths they’ve been running from.
But Grace refuses to lose her heart to a man who’ll leave the moment the road clears—and Blaze has to decide if life on stage is worth walking away from the only place—and the only woman—that’s ever felt like home.
In a town where loyalty runs deep and hearts are hard-won, will Blaze choose fame… or forever?
It was supposed to be a fling. A beautiful mistake I’d make only once. Fate had other plans for us.
Sophia Carter McCord is everything I shouldn’t want. Fifteen years younger, he’s too cocky, too good-looking, and a playboy notorious for leaving broken hearts and wreckage in his wake.
To make matters worse, he’s my competition. As an executive at my company’s top rival, the young hotshot is strictly off limits both professionally and personally. I’ve got a career to protect and a teenage daughter to raise. The last thing I need is the kind of man who makes women beg.
But Carter isn’t interested in keeping it casual. The way he touches me, the way he needs me—it’s more than sex. It’s obsession.
Carter I don’t care that she’s older. I don’t care that she’s a business rival. I don’t care what my family thinks or what people will say or that her ex wants to see me dead.
Sophia Bianco is everything I’ve ever wanted, and I’m gonna make her mine.
Even if she makes me beg for it.

⭐️Review⭐️ Sophie is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to her career but personally she battles with her insecurities after her now ex-husband exchanges her for a newer model. She believes that Carter is wrong for her on so many levels as not only is there the age difference between them but when it comes to business they are on opposite sides however the attraction between them is too strong to be denied.
Carter may be younger than Sophie but he is a man who knows what he wants and that is Sophie. He isn’t deterred by their age difference or that their careers put them at odds. He appears easy going and not to have a care in the world however we are about to discover that he has secrets of his own.
Although their reasons are very different Carter and Sophie help each other heal from the past and the heat between them is intense. Filled with romance and emotion Carter and Sophie show that their pasts don’t have to affect their futures.
India Baker reports the dirt directly from the dugout.
As a newly appointed sportscaster for the Tennessee Terrors, she’s down in the trenches reporting live with up-to-the-minute reactions and in-your-face interviews about the team.
And the member who hates it the most is the number one man—me—the head coach.
I’ve known India a good portion of my life. Difficult to escape your best friend’s little sister or a woman who once dared you to kiss her. Now, she’s the one that got away and a pain in my baseball pants’ backside.
Life as a former professional baseball player turned coach has its foul balls and strike outs, and the one thing I am not willing to lose again is my heart.
Except . . .
She still gets under my skin.
She looks so good in those red-framed glasses and form-fitting dresses highlighting all her curves.
And even after all these years, she makes my heart race like I’m running for home plate.
It’s not often a player can outsmart a potential double play on the field, but the truth is, falling for her was never a game to me, and I’m hoping to score a second chance.
Welcome to Music City Park, where the lights shine bright, the stakes are high, and the players of the Tennessee Terrors don’t just risk it all on the baseball field — they gamble with their hearts too.
From second-chance romance to forbidden love, grumpy meets sunshine to enemies to lovers, single moms and single dads, fake dating and opposites attract, these baseball stars are about to learn the game doesn’t end when the ninth inning does.
One night, one kiss, and a spark hot enough to melt the ice.
Preston’s all in on his hockey career as a Stingray, and Chelsea’s just about to start a new adventure in Paris—until an unforgettable night at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party changes everything. A few drinks, some dirty jokes, and a kiss under the mistletoe leads to a night of toe-curling, name-forgetting, no-strings-attached fun.
They part ways in the morning, no regrets—just a sizzling memory they both assume will fade.
A year later, Chelsea’s in Baltimore, launching her dream bakery—and navigating life with a baby she never saw coming. The father? Mystery man from that one unforgettable night. What she really didn’t expect? Him walking through her door, very real, very sexy… and very much still capable of making her forget how to breathe.
Preston hasn’t been able to get her out of his head. Now that he knows the truth, he’s not going anywhere. The question is—can they turn one accidental night into a real shot at forever?
When I’m not making my son waffles for breakfast or teaching him how to swim, I am running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute, and that’s the way it has to be. So, when my nanny unexpectedly quits, I need to find a replacement ASAP.
Riley is not what I expected. She’s so damn attractive—and funny — not nanny material at all. But seeing her with Jeremy makes me realize she’s exactly who he needs. I just have to burn into my brain that she’s totally off limits.
It’s been my son and me for years, ever since his mother left us. And from that point on, I’ve sworn to myself that I wouldn’t bring another woman into Jeremy’s life. Why confuse the poor kid with someone else that will probably leave? Nope. No dating at all! That’s worked well until now.
But the more time I spend with Riley, the more I realize she’s exactly what I need too.
Penn Navarro is the best player in the league—unstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.
Hockey is my life. It’s what I was born to do. That’s not ego talking, just fact—I’ve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesn’t erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage I’ve done. It’s why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, you’ll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself.
Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. She’s a ghost I’ve tried to bury, the reminder of everything I’ve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins don’t stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Mila’s arrival means my time is up.
The past isn’t just knocking at my door—it’s kicking it down, crumbling all the walls I’ve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.
The name I should have wiped from my mind nearly two years ago.
Her brother, and my assistant captain, has repeatedly warned she’s off-limits to a guy like me—a playboy bound to bed her one night and break her heart the next morning—an opinion shared by her stepdad, who also happens to be my coach. I can see why they don’t want their goalie anywhere near her. My reputation with women isn’t exactly unblemished.
Except, they shouldn’t judge what they don’t understand, and neither should my girl. Okay, she’s not technically my girl yet, but that’s just semantics, as are the things I’ll do to make her mine.
Each time she’s visited from the UK, I’ve warred with the respect I have for my friendship with her brother versus pursuing a growing obsession for the honey-haired bombshell with blue eyes as big as the Ocean that separates us.
That is, until everything changes and there’s nothing keeping me at a safe distance. She’s living in Brooklyn and looking for fun with guys, and I can no longer observe from the sidelines. Any chance—no matter how small—she gives me, I’m going to take it and say to hell with the consequences.
Only, the opportunity I get isn’t small, and neither are the stakes that go with it.

Now, Milwaukee Mayhem goalie Alek Bergeron is riding payback straight to the top of his game. He’s got one goal left: hoist the Cup and rub it in his former best friend’s face. But just as the season is about to start, a phone call from the past lands like a body check to the gut.
A twist of fate.
Sheridan Cobert has made a career out of caring for others, but nothing prepares her for the loss of her only sibling—or the shock of learning he named Alek Bergeron, not her, as guardian of her nephew. The same Alek who shattered her teenage heart years earlier.
Alek’s life is in on the ice, his schedule insane, and the last thing he needs is a rambunctious little boy and a jockstrap-murdering dog—not to mention the not so little sister of the guy he hates—upending his neatly ordered world. But neither of them is willing to give up custody, so they strike a fragile truce: cohabitation until the end of the season.
What could go wrong?
Only everything.
Because sharing a roof with the girl he was never supposed to touch is messing with Alek’s game. Especially now that she’s grown up into a tempting, sexy woman. For her part, Sheridan is having difficulty keeping her lips off the guy she’s crushed on for half her life. As the season heats up, so do the nights—and so does the guilt.
