Ryan: I’m done with dating. Happily-ever-after isn’t in the cards for me, so I’m officially taking myself off the market. Hockey is my mecca. The arena my temple. The ice the altar I worship at. Then...I met her. Strip me naked and run me over with a Zamboni - she’s the textbook definition of a bad love match. Amara Miller, beyond beautiful and effortlessly drawing me into her orbit and making it impossible to resist her. AmaraIt should have been a simple cross-country move. Instead, it sent me crashing - quite literally - into the captain of Coach’s new hockey team.

For Sera Wheeler, the Olympics is the reason for everything. It’s why she trains 30 hours a week, starves herself to under 100 pounds, and pops Advil like Tic Tacs. For her mother, Charlene, hungry for glory she never had, it’s why she rises before dawn to drive Sera to practice in a different state, and why the family scrimps, saves, and fractures. It’s why, when Sera’s best friend reports the gymnastics doctor to the authority who selects the Olympic Team, Sera denies what she knows about his treatments, thus preserving favor.

Problema numero due: uno degli amici forse sta giocando contro la sua stessa squadra. Problema numero tre: quale sarà mai la prima regola degli Shardana?

No one would call David Rose - or ‘Rosie’ as he’s known to one and all - a star, but he’s good at his job and proud of his work as a sportswriter for a national newspaper. He’s used to seeing flashier talents come and go - both on the field, and in the competitive world of the press. Football comes first in the way he spends his working life, but he’s happy to pitch in whatever the sport - from Formula 1 to Test cricket in the West Indies, the Olympics to a heavyweight championship bout in Japan.

Heartbreaker. Playboy. Reckless. Wild and rough. Those are just a few of the names she's called me, but I don't care as long as I get what I want - her heart. She deserves more than I can give.

A Victorian family gathers round the hearth, and one by one they tell each other their Winter's tales.

The NFL is full of rules. Rules I've never broken, never challenged, never even scratched...until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don't-give-a-f--k attitude. After I almost injure my father's star player, I volunteer to make sure he's in top shape. At first, it's hell. I don't like his cockiness and his easy smile. I don't like the way he oozes sex or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere. But that doesn't stop me from wanting him. He's meant to be a distraction - something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights.
