The last thing Gavin Racine needs is more heartbreak …
​
Following an ugly public divorce, all Gavin wants is a little stress relief in the bedroom and to put together a winning roster. Unfortunately, his busy and chaotic schedule as the Boston Harrier’s general manager and president of hockey operations means he cancels more hookups than not.
When Gavin reluctantly hires Dakota Crane as the team’s yoga and Pilates instructor, their first few meetings leave them annoyed … and intrigued.
​
With a struggling team to manage, a complicated relationship with his twin brother, and a secret from his past threatening to upend the success he’s fought so hard for, Gavin absolutely shouldn’t start something with his employee.
​
Personalities clash, sparks fly, and the chemistry is undeniable. But neither of them are looking for love.
​
Dakota’s been burned before and the last thing he wants is another messy relationship. Especially with his new boss.
​
Falling in love is nowhere on his agenda and nothing is worth putting his fresh start in Boston at risk.
​
But what if learning to work together is exactly what Gavin, Dakota, and the team needs?

Flirty Dancing
by Jennifer Moffatt
Archer Read is 27 and desperate to find his place in life. Five months ago, he quit his soul-destroying accounting job in Ohio and moved to Manhattan with dreams of making it on Broadway. And now he has nothing to show for it but a string of rejections. Even for a ray-of-sunshine like Archer, hope can only go so far. A musical revue at Shady Queens, a queer-friendly resort in the Catskills, is his last chance to break into show biz—otherwise, it’s back to Ohio, broke and hopeless. He arrives ready to dance his heart out, only to find he’ll be working with his teenage celebrity crush, the Broadway star Mateo Dixon.
What is Mateo doing working at Shady Queens? Besides barking orders and glaring at everyone…when he’s not absolutely smoldering at Archer on the dancefloor. As Archer tries to forget his teen crush and get to know the real Mateo, he’s caught up in a romance with his hot, temperamental bunkmate, Caleb. Between Mateo’s baggage and the dance crew’s drama—partying, flirting, breaking up, getting back together, then breaking up again—it’s no surprise when the show starts to fall apart. Archer quickly discovers that when it comes to dance, sometimes you can’t leave all your problems backstage.

One-Time Shot
by Lane Hayes
The jock, the geek, and the hockey project…
Jett
My pro hockey dreams are hanging by a thread. I need to have a great season and that means no partying, no distractions, no fun. The grad student’s science experiment is the definition of no fun, so…okay.
Pros and cons of agreeing to this deal:
Pros: Positive use of free time. (At least that’s what my agent says.)
Cons: Malcolm is bossy, clumsy, and he doesn’t know the first thing about hockey.
But he’s also cute and he’s got a great sense of humor and—oh no.
I cannot have a crush on the geek. No way. Not now.
Malcolm
Yes, I’m a serious student, but a hockey project is not serious. Who cares about big hunky hockey players zipping around a sheet of ice at warp speed? Not I.
However, according to my professor, the only way to attain the required data is to study the specimen in his natural habitat, AKA, the ice rink.
Pros: My thesis should lead to a bevy of job offers.
Cons: Jett. He’s impossibly big and gruff and handsome and disarmingly charming and—
Fine. Guilty. I like the jock…perhaps too much.
Lately, I find myself wondering if there’s such a thing as a one-time shot at forever.

Jaded
by Lex Easton
Hockey prodigy Nat Taylor should’ve followed his father and brother to the NHL, but a dream-shattering mistake cost him his career. Now at thirty-five, he's desperate to give his teenage daughter a better life while struggling to hold onto his job as a Zamboni driver for the failing Day River Dingoes. But when a spicy meet-cute with the Dingoes’ new captain sparks something far hotter than friendship, Nat finds himself worrying about more than just his daughter’s college fund.
Captain Olli James has one goal—make it to the NHL. His rocky mental health has thrown his otherwise promising career into question, but saving the sinking Dingoes could be his ticket to the big leagues. However, a certain moody, broody bad-boi Zamboni driver might prove distracting … Especially when Nat turns out to be the secret star of a gritty underground league called the Ice Out—the town's favorite new hockey phenomenon.
It’s no wonder the locals prefer the illicit fight-club hockey over their home team. The Dingoes are a rotating door of players passing through on their way to something better. Olli’s no different. An outsider won’t save the Dingoes, or Nat’s livelihood. But maybe together, Nat and Olli can unite the town and the team—make the Dingoes matter again. It might give Olli a reason to stay and Nat a new dream worth fighting for.

Beg For It
by Alisha Williams & Jenn Bullard
Coming to Crown Well was supposed to be the first step at my new start in life.
In order to survive, I hid my designation and had planned to ride under the radar until I graduated and was free to disappear with a new identity.
That was until I caught their attention.
Alphas Brooks, River and their beta, Henley.
They’re unhinged, cruel and have it out for me.
They're the sons of my father's enemies. They want blood for the tragedies he caused them.
Only, I'm nothing like my father. I want nothing to do with him or his MC. It's the reason why I'm here.
But they don't know that. They don't know a lot of things.
Like the fact I'm a Omega. Their omega.
They can't find out, if they do I don't think I'll be able to survive.
Yet at every turn, there they are.
They're not giving up. They want me in all the wrong ways.
I hate that I want them. That I crave them.If there ever was a red flag, it would be then.
Then why do I find myself giving into their possessive depravity.
They want me to beg for it, and by the time they're done with me, I don't think I'll be able to stop myself.

Outcast
by DJ Jamison
I'm the outcast brother ...
I'm headed back to Riverton and the foster brothers I left behind. But this homecoming isn't going to be sweet. I left without a word to them after getting outed and disowned.
The fences don't just need mending. They need rebuilding. My brothers and I had a code to always be there for one another, and I broke it.
Now, I have the chance to step up and help them with their floundering business. To prove myself and make good.
Then one night, while on a job, I see the town's golden boy shoved to his knees by none other than the jerk who got me outed in high school.
I run to his rescue, and everything changes...
Emory is a fragile, beautiful man trying to find himself--even as he struggles under the weight of guilt, grief, and expectation. And I'm the bad boy he's never let himself have.
I could be the key to his salvation or his ruin.
And suddenly, my brothers aren't the only ones I'm fighting for.
But can I really have it all--love and family--or will I just lose everyone all over again?
