He wasn’t just my best friend.
He was arrogant. Tormented. Reckless.
I shouldn’t have wanted him, but I did. I still want him.
Now, five years after a drunken mistake of a night, he’s back.
And something has changed. Dark under-eye circles mar his pretty face, and his mouth no longer smirks as readily as before.
I should know better than to trust him with my heart again, but I can’t forget how he breathed life into me back when we were kids. His darkness merged with mine and became something else.
Something brighter.
We clicked together like two jagged, leftover puzzle pieces.
My best friend. My partner in crime. My ride-or-die.
As he spirals further into self-destruction, I need to find a way to protect him from his harrowing past.
Before it breaks us both.

Poetry On Ice
by Jesse H. Reign
I can’t tell if we’re fighting…or flirting?
Being traded to the Seattle Vipers has left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, they’re my team, the team I’ve loved and supported since I was a kid, but on the other hand, he’s here. Him. Ant Decker. Infamous NHL bad boy. Right wing to my left. A man who’s made it his sole purpose in life to be better than me.
Well, the joke’s on him because I’m faster and my stats are better than his.
Not that I’m competing with him. Of course not. I wouldn’t stoop to his level.
He’s the most infuriating person I’ve ever met. A dark, chaotic presence that distracts me.
When we’re not coming to blows on the ice, he tries to provoke me by calling me Princess. And Pretty Boy...and Babygirl.
I hate it. Obviously, I do. It makes me so angry I can hardly see straight.
So why does my body react as if I like it?
Untouchable Player
By Emmery Fox
Nate just wants to be left in peace to study without his brother Harrison’s hockey teammates hanging around and getting on his nerves. Until he sees a familiar tattoo on a gay dating app belonging to the hockey team’s tough guy Jesse. When Harrison asks him to tutor Jesse for a class he is failing, maybe Nate can discover if it really is Jesse on that app?
Jesse is used to being called dumb, but being tutored by his captain’s younger brother in a subject he doesn’t even study is humiliating. Especially when he’s that cute. But when Nate treats him like more than just some dumb jock, Jesse might have bigger problems on his plate.
In this spicy MM hockey romance, defenceman Jesse finds himself catching feelings for his friend’s nerdy little brother and knows if his captain finds out, there will be hell to pay.
Cold As Ice
by Beth Bolden
Malcolm’s all about checking off items in his Life Plan.
He’s made it to the first line on his hockey team, the Portland Evergreens. He’s made the Dean’s List the last four semesters. He’s right in line to graduate on time, and head to the pros. All steps on the ultimate goal of becoming the best front office guy in the NHL.
Elliott is the only fly in his ointment.
The younger, wilder forward parties every night, sleeping with everything with a pulse, and barely attending classes or practices.
It’s annoying, but Mal’s dealing with it, until their new coach insists Mal tutor Elliott to help him pass a class.
And until Elliott discovers Mal’s biggest secret: he’s been too busy checking off points on his life plan to get laid.
They’re fire and ice. Bad boy and virgin. They shouldn’t work at all. But the more time they spend together, on and off the ice, the more irresistible their chemistry becomes.
The more desperate Mal becomes for some of Elliott’s one-on-one tutoring—this time in bed.
But Elliott wants more than just sex. He wants to melt Mal’s icy cold shoulder and convince him there’s more to life—and love—than a plan.

Reckless Hearts
by Jax Calder
Some people are meant to be in your life. Others are meant to turn your life upside down.
Seb:
Marcus is my sister’s best friend. He’s also the most gorgeous and charming man in the universe. And he knows it.
He’s always seen me as a nerdy geek who can’t string together a coherent sentence around him. So when he unexpectedly propositions me at a party, I decide to take the opportunity for all it’s worth.
Turns out it’s a night that will change everything.
Marcus:
There’s one person who’s always been off-limits: my best friend’s younger brother. But when I’m annoyed at Saskia one night, I don’t just cross the line. I obliterate it.
That one night determines the trajectory of my life.
Because it turns out one encounter with Seb will never be enough. And as the years go by, Seb and I collide over and over again, drawn together by an unexplainable force neither of us can escape.
But how can I accept Seb’s heart when I’m not sure if mine is worthy to give?
Heat Transfer
by Katherine McIntyre
Cor’s crush on the straight boy in sword fighting class has been unrequited, but with one crossed sword, that’s all about to change…
Cor
From the second I showed up for sword fighting class, Felix grabbed my attention. Yet not only was he straight, but he also had a girlfriend. However, the more we hang, the more I can’t help but hang on his every word, every look. And when he ends up newly single, I can’t stop my hopes from running rampant.
Felix
I’ve been accused of talking about my best friend Cor too much, but when my client mistakes us for boyfriends and invites us to the historical gala of our dreams…well, it’s time to ask him to be my fake date. Except fake dating Cor doesn’t just feel natural, it feels better than most relationships I’ve been in. And when my curiosity for more takes the wheel, we end up exploring everything.
We’re circling each other, just like we do in a sword fighting match, however, this isn’t just skill or reputation on the line. Far too fast, it becomes clear that I love him, and if he doesn’t feel the same, I won’t just be disarmed—losing him would deliver the finishing blow.
