It is a truth universally acknowledged that a hockey player in possession of a bad reputation must be in want of a fake girlfriend. Rosie Forrester is in desperate need of cash after an embarrassing run-in with the law. Enter Dylan Savage, a disgraced hockey player who needs a place to hide out for a few months while he figures out how to get back on his team. He's every bit as beastly as his fans' nickname for him would imply—nothing like the handsome, charming bookstore owner Rosie’s in love with from afar. But Dylan’s rent will not only save her art studio, it’ll help fund the secret she’s keeping from her three older brothers. When Rosie proposes a deal to help Dylan improve his image if he can help her finally catch the eye of the bookstore owner, he reluctantly agrees. But nothing in their plan is going as expected, and pretty soon it's not just her studio she’s worried about losing, it’s her heart. Rosie and The Beast Next Door is for readers who love Jane Austen, forced proximity, banter, hockey players, fake dating, and happily ever afters!

When Amelia travels with her late-husband’s hockey team to Winterhaven, Alaska for a friend’s wedding, she’s hoping for a calm vacation. Instead, she’s met with eager reporters, an aggressive moose (how was she supposed to know its babies were close?), and Hudson, her late-husband’s brother, who’s acting … strange. He’s one of her best friends, so why does it suddenly feel awkward around him? Hudson has been in love with Amelia since freshman year, and he’d do anything for her. Even pretend not to be in love with her so they could remain friends after she married his brother, and he’s not going to change that now. But when they both show up to the same wedding, fate (and a meddling hockey team) is making it impossible to keep his distance. When the team’s matchmaking antics leave Amelia and Hudson stranded in the middle of the ocean together, though, it’ll take more than just wits to get these two together. It’ll take heart.
