The D.C. Stars Series
The Love through a Lens Series
Emerson (Emmy) Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, she’ll finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling D.C. Stars.
Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he’s never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they’re total opposites.
After a night where the tension between them reaches a tipping point and they fall in bed together, Emmy and Maverick vow it was only one time. Just once to get it out of their systems so they can play better and help their team. It doesn’t mean anything. She doesn’t date hockey players. He’s a notorious playboy who doesn’t date. Period.
Except… what should’ve been just once happens again, then again. They tell each other their friends with benefits arrangement is only for the season, but despite facing off on the ice, behind closed doors, the pair is nothing but fire.

Piper Mitchell needs one thing to go her way.
Divorced, feeling stuck in her professional life and terrified of reentering the world of dating, she's decided she's going to work on something she can control: learning how to be good in the bedroom.
Enter Liam Sullivan.
The star NHL goalie might not be a people person, but he's the perfect teacher. He knows what he's doing behind closed doors, and with a little convincing, he agrees to be Piper's guide.
Things between them are casual and easy. Something they can both benefit from. And when a road trip to Vegas as Piper and Liam waking up from a night they can't remember with matching wedding rings, they decide to figure out how much more fun they can have as husband and wife.
It's just for the hockey season. It doesn't mean anything.
But as the clock ticks down on their fake-marriage-with-benefits, can Piper and Liam make it work in the real world? Or will their relationship be a power play straight to disaster?

When I agree to help my best friend with a photo shoot involving a stranger, I don’t expect to hit it off with the guy posing in the photos with me. Somehow, I do.
There’s an undeniable heat between us, and electric energy surges through my veins whenever he touches me. When he invites me back to his place for a one-night stand after we finish the shoot, I don’t even hesitate.
He’s attentive, funny, sweet and kind. And his mouth is downright filthy, hearing my fantasies and delivering on every one. It’s only twenty-four hours, no strings attached. That’s it. Except there’s one tiny problem; he makes me feel more alive than I have in my entire life.
I can’t stop thinking about him, and I’m wondering if he’s thinking about me, too. I try to tell myself it’s just camera chemistry. Adrenaline from a fun photography session, not actual attraction. There’s no way men like this exist in real life, is there? If so, Aiden Wood is the blueprint, and I’m the sucker who’s desperate for more of him. One night wasn’t enough.

Shawn Holmes is the youngest head coach in NFL history, and his team has the best record in the league. He should be excited about their win streak, but he's distracted by his best friend, Lacey Daniels, sitting in the stands at his game with a date.
When Lacey’s date refuses to kiss her on the kiss cam, she’s mortified… until Shawn saves the day, jumping in to kiss her in front of seventy thousand screaming fans.
The kiss doesn’t mean anything--it's just a friend helping out a friend. But when a video of their PDA goes viral, Lacey and Shawn are forced to reevaluate how to handle the publicity.
With Shawn's family asking when he's going to settle down and Lacey wanting to impress her boss at the hospital Christmas gala she's supposed to attend, they agree to pretend to date each other through the holidays.
As the weather turns colder and they spend more time pretending, things between Lacey and Shawn heat up. Soon, faking it feels like the best relationship both have ever had. With New Year’s approaching, will they realize how much they care about each other, or end the agreement and move on?

Maven Wood is ready for a fresh start. After an injury on the soccer field leads to her dropping out of college, she needs a change.
When her godfather–the coach of the hottest team in the NFL–tells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesn’t cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, she’s not sure how she’s going to afford to make ends meet… until the cute kicker comes to her rescue.
Dallas Lansfield never thought he’d be a single dad, but he’s embracing the role as best as he can. With a four-year-old that has too much energy and not enough time on his hands, he needs help.
Desperately.
So when he hears that his coach’s goddaughter is looking for a way to make more money, he practically begs her to come be his nanny.
Maven and Dallas aren’t allowed to fall for each other. Getting involved with a player on the team is off-limits and a quick way to get fired. But what starts as a professional relationship turns into something deeper.
In front of people, they’re colleagues. Behind the cameras, though, their attraction only grows. Late night talks turn into sharing a bed, and soon, Dallas would rather give up his career than give up the feelings he has for Maven.
He can’t have her. So why does he want her so damn bad?

Avery Sinclair is good at her job as the social media manager for the Baltimore Thunderhawks. She’s one of the best in the NFL, in fact. The only thing stopping her from being the account of the year? The DC Titans, run by the mystery man she’s been feuding with for years.
Reid Duncan isn’t the world’s biggest sports fan, but he loves his job. Working for the DC Titans means working on the same team as his best friend… and being constantly annoyed by the woman who works for the rival team up the road.
But when a night with a woman he can’t get out of his head turns out to be the woman who won’t leave him alone on social media, Reid isn’t sure what to do. The only solution? A casual arrangement that goes perfectly with the bet they’ve enacted for the football season.
Online, they exchange sarcasm and snark like it’s their job. In the bedroom, though, it’s a different story. What’s supposed to be one time turns into something more.
Avery and Reid know they aren’t supposed to fall for each other. Feelings aren’t part of their agreement, but neither one of them can stay away.
Can what happens off camera and away from their phones really work in real life? Or are they destined to never get along?
