Wildly by Debra Kayn
Shauna Marino left
Cottage Grove, California an innocent teenager, gangly, wild and with no
fashion sense, always diving headfirst into whatever feelings ruled the moment.
Now, she’s back to fix her mistakes. She’s gained a respectable job, set a plan
in motion to benefit the town, and all that’s left is to prove to Grayson
Schyler she’s changed. Maybe this time, he won’t tell her no when she shows up
naked and asks him to make her a woman.
Grayson Schyler, former Wimbledon champion, would've recognized Shauna anywhere. She’s made his life sweeter one moment, and hell the next. As someone in the public eye, he’d gone to great strains not to allow the media to misread their relationship, which wasn't always easy when Shauna was around. Now she’s back, asking for his help, and all he can think about is if she came back to make him pay for what he’d done.

Excerpt
Grayson moved
forward, making her retreat, walking with that lazy long stride that had the
ability to hypnotize her. His gaze was so intent, her breasts hardened and she
forgot why she was wasting her time arguing. His hair lay over his forehead in
a sexy I-don’t-give-a-damn way that tempted her to reach up and sweep it back.
But she didn’t. She couldn’t get that close.
The back of her
thighs hit against the car, her breath barely coming through the constant throb
of her body. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to take
what’s mine.” He lowered his head, hovering inches from her mouth. “I don’t
care if I get it here, in the middle of Main Street, or if you come over to my
house and let me have you there. But I’ll be damned if we’re gonna pussy foot
around this subject any longer.”
“But … ”
He shook his head.
“I’m done fighting, Shauna. I want you. You hear me? I want you as much as you
want me. For as long as you want me.”
Oh my God. She
forgot to breathe. She’d waited forever to hear him admit his feelings toward
her, to confess it wasn’t her overactive imagination dreaming up a future with
him. She sucked in air, filling her lungs. Everyone had thought her crush was
one sided, but she knew better.

On the Fly by Katie Kenyhercz
Jacey Vaughn has a
newly minted MBA when her father dies unexpectedly and leaves her his NHL team.
Well-versed in business but not so much in hockey, Jacey navigates this new
world with a few stumbles. She definitely doesn’t plan on falling for the team
captain. At the first hint of scandal, a local Las Vegas reporter latches on,
and Jacey finds herself in the newspaper with headlines that hurt instead of
help. Jacey’s determined to keep her father’s legacy alive and make the team
successful, but while she has no problem denying her feelings to the media, she
can’t lie to herself.
Carter Phlynn has known nothing but hockey his entire life. Drafted into the NHL at age eighteen, winning the Stanley Cup is all he’s ever wanted. Nothing has ever disrupted his focus. Not until he meets his new boss. Jacey gets under his skin like no one else, and while dating the team owner would be a disaster for his career and reputation, he can’t get her out of his head. Carter has never had a relationship last more than a month, but the more he’s around Jacey, the more he can’t picture his future without her.

Excerpt
With a sigh, she
glided over to where he waited. For good measure, she stuck out her arms and
feigned a wobble. Can you ice skate? That was something of an
understatement. Her father had gotten her a pair of ice skates as soon as she
could walk. Carter didn't need to know that.
“You gonna make it?”
“I think so.” She came to a stop against the goal post and turned around to mimic his stance.
“Tell you what, I'll give you a head start.”
She just smiled.
“Down and back, okay? Ready, set, go!”
She took off like a shot, arms pumping, knees high, just digging into the ice with the sides of her blades. Behind her, shocked laughter echoed. Then it was replaced by the sound of his own skates. At the other goal, she skidded sideways in an awkward hockey stop and tried to regain momentum, heading back for the other end, but Carter had the experience, and he turned in two seconds. He passed her and pivoted to skate backward, adding insult to injury. She squinted at him and surged forward. Amusement played openly across his sharp features until he stopped and she didn't.
Jacey hadn't really considered the consequences of hurling herself at him. It seemed like a good idea at the time. And before she could reverse it, she collided against him with a solid thump. They spun in a circle, their legs tangled, and Carter fell backward. She had no choice but to follow.

spent her life playing the wallflower in an effort to escape the repressive
weight of her mother’s tarnished name. Dragged to a bar by her best friend in
an effort to forget a broken heart, the shy bookworm is determined to be someone
else for the night, but quickly gets in over her head. She discovers chivalry
isn’t dead after all when a mysterious stranger comes to her rescue. He’s
wearing black leather and a mischievous smile that promises to be exactly what
she needs.
When his terminally ill father suffers a setback, Michael Brant returns to the town he swore ten years ago he’d never return to. He’s come back this time determined to make peace with the past, but being home brings up memories he doesn’t want to remember anymore. His first night in town, he’s captured by a damsel in distress. Cat’s beauty is made all the more alluring when he realizes she has no idea who he is. He can’t resist spending a single night in her arms. With her, he’s only a man, disconnected from his family’s name and the past that haunts him here.
As the town erupts with the news of his return, Michael’s dark past comes back to haunt him, putting Cat in danger. Someone is threatening her life and the life of her family. Desperate to keep history from repeating itself, Michael offers her his family’s name in order to keep her safe. When the lie spirals beyond their control, can they stop their hearts from becoming entangled as well?

Excerpt
A beat of silence
passed, and Michael let out a heavy exhalation behind her, a sound of
acceptance, defeat, dejection. He stepped up behind her, his warm, solid body
pressing against her back, pinning her where she stood. Reaching around her, he
opened a cabinet door, revealing a shelf full of glasses and mugs. “Because I
was afraid.”
His words and the
truth behind them settled into her core. She knew that feeling. Too well.
“Of what?”
“What did you need
from me last night, Cat?” His hot breath teased her neck, the sensitive skin
below her earlobe, and images invaded her mind. Of his mouth latching on there,
leaving his mark. The possessive look in his eyes when he plunged inside her
body, claimed her as his. How simultaneously wrong and right it felt to be
claimed that way. They were strangers, yet deep down, she couldn’t deny she
gave him a piece of herself last night.
“I wanted the
fantasy. You were a little wild, a little dangerous. A Harley-riding bad boy in
black leather with a wicked gleam in your eye who challenged anyone to try
to judge you.”
A faint chuckle sounded
behind her, so infectious one corner of her mouth curled in response.
“You were
everything I wanted to be and exactly the type of man I never go for.”
