"This is hockey romance for hockey fans." --Rachel Reid, author of the Game Changers series A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance. Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks. All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet. Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future. Trade Season Book 1: Season's Change Book 2: Contract Season

They called him Stone Cold. Once upon a time, I called him my pen pal. When I wrote to Callum Rose five years ago, I never expected a response. He was an up and coming rock star, afterall, and I was just a shy seventeen-year-old. He did write back though, and through hundreds of emails, we became best friends. Until the day we unknowingly broke each other's heart. It's been three years since our last email. I'm all grown up with a new job at Good Music, and finally have my act together. But then Callum Rose walks in the door, and I'm instantly thrown back to the days when he meant everything to me. The thing is...he doesn't know who I am. He's never seen my face. And this Callum Rose lives up to his stone cold reputation. That is, until one night, he sees me in another man's arms, and decides to claim me. Then there is nothing cold about him. Callum becomes a man on fire for me, introverted, awkward, chubby Wren Anderson. He's obsessive, possessive, and kind of stalker-y-and I like it...a little too much. The problem is, he still doesn't know I'm the girl who walked away from him or the reason behind it, and I'm afraid when he finds out, I'll be right back in the cold again.
