ANGELPeople said I'd never hit the ice again after my humiliating fall on national television. Two years later, I'm ready to prove them wrong. At least in private . . . when I sneak into the Buffalo Blades arena. Being the coach's daughter has its perks.Until lead defenseman - and my number one enemy - Jace Knight catches me.To my surprise, he doesn't laugh when I fall. Instead, he offers to help . . . in exchange for my help winning over the Ice Girl he's been pining after. He won't tell me who, but I think I know. And I hate that she's perfect for him.JACEThere's no way I'm telling Angel Collins - Coach's daughter and the only Ice Girl immune to my charm - the real reason I'm back in the rink every night.She'll never buy that I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart, so pretending I need love advice works just fine for me. And that look on her face every time I'm around the Ice Girls - well, that's just the icing on the cake.

NICOLESome men are just off-limits. Like Royce Collins, who's not only seventeen years older than me but has the sweetest little girl I'm in no shape to be around. She's defiant, calls out BS when she sees it, and hates any woman Coach brings around . . . But she's not safe with me. Not when my past still haunts me and puts those around me at risk. And it's not a risk worth taking.ROYCESome women are just off-limits. Like Nicole Kane, whose twin brother captains the NHL team I coach. And whose dark past makes her a questionable choice to hire as my six-year-old's nanny.But I don't feel that way. When I look at Nicky, I see light in her eyes, hope, a little fear, and beauty beyond the invisible scars she hides behind.Some women are off-limits . . . and some are worth the risk.

CORASince my mother died, I've been raised by men - a hard-working single father and an overprotective older brother who would drop dead if he knew I was musing on the three-letter-word. And let's not forget his best friend and team Captain, Nicolas Kane, who, aside from his magnetic green eyes and cocky smile, is the worst offender when it comes to keeping me in a bubble.And he happens to be the only one I want breaking it . . .NICHOLASThis girl is going to be the reason I go to jail. Especially if she keeps acting out the way she has been . . . coming home drunk, jumping out of planes, talking about sex?I've been through it all with my best friend, including keeping his defiant kid sister in line. But it's becoming damn hard when suddenly my protective nature looks more like possessive when she's around.Because Cora Knight is slowly but surely . . . becoming mine.

JOB SEARCH: Hideaway Springs, CORESULTS: 1 "Single-dad rancher seeking live-in nanny for nine-year-old boy. Must have experience, be playful and not looking for a real-life love story (six weeks only - don't apply if looking for long-term)." There cannot be only one job in Hideaway Springs. Not that I won't take literally anything at this point, but the likelihood of Levi Reeves hiring me is negative zero. It doesn't stop me knocking on his door, though. Besides, his grumpy scowls are easy to tune out when my eyes are distracted by his sculpted physique and the rugged edges of his face. I'm reluctantly hired on the understanding that it's a short-term agreement, he's desperate and firmly got his eye on me . . . And, eventually, his hands too. But as the hot summer days turn to crisp autumn nights, my six weeks are up, and whilst he may have every intention of making me stay, my past is a reality I can never escape. And I love them both too much to bring trouble to their home.

When Pepper Woods left Hideaway Springs nearly a decade ago, it was good riddance.The polished homecoming queen and class president was far too 'city girl' for my likes, anyway.I barely even noticed when she got engaged to the President's son.Now, she's back in town. And she's just walked into my father's inn, with a veil tucked under her arm. I should walk away. I've got hockey practice in an hour and she's the last person I need distracting me. So why does she wind up pressed against me on the back of my motorcycle? And how have I ended up as her fake fiancé?

Three years ago, I lost any chance of a future with Noah Reeves. But I'm finally done trying to win him back. We're better off this way. So, it's time to call a truce. If only so that we don't accidentally cause a scene at the upcoming wedding between his brother and my best friend. The hitch? Noah thinks my imaginary date to the wedding is my ticket to losing my virginity. And . . . I might have let him believe it. Now, he's determined to prove I'm not ready. By volunteering himself to demonstrate. But as that long-gone spark returns with a vengeance, it's clear we've signed up to a dangerous game. I only hope that when the truth comes out, we won't be completely and unforgivably ruined.
