And again. We’re professional athletes. His life is in Canada and mine is in the UK. I know there’s no future for us. So why can’t I make myself stay away from him?

Barn Burner

2025

I’ve ridden a Zamboni, but never a cowboy… Missing out on my first Stanley Cup has left me more torn up than I expected. It was in my sights. So close, I could almost touch it. With my brother back in England, I’m facing nothing but an empty house and my thoughts, and there’s only two ways to soothe my mind: The ice and nature. But when I pack up my car and head out into the Alberta wilderness, my bad luck lands me in the reluctant hands of a grumpy cowboy with a perpetual scowl. I shouldn’t get involved with Jesse. His life is the ranch, whereas my life is hockey. So why do I allow myself to fall for him so hard? And why do I keep my real identity a secret? I live for barn burners, but this is one I might not survive. Barn Burner is book three in the Love the Game sports shared world, featuring books from Willow Thomas, Becca Steele, EM Denning, Becca Seymour, Becca Jackson, EM Lindsey, and Cora Rose.

He throws himself into being the best goalie he can for the his new team, but no matter what he does, he can't earn the friendship of the hot and broody defenseman, Jay Brookbank. One text message to turn it all upside down. Marek might be out and proud, but Jay is not, and after seeing the fallout from Marek's grand reveal, he doesn't want to be. Unfortunately, he still has needs and unfortunately, the faceless torso on the other end of the hookup app turns out to be none other than Marek Myers. One hookup to change everything. All Marek wants is someone to accept him for who he is, and Jay needs someone who can put up with his bullshit. The two of them are perfect for each other, but there's one big problem—Jay doesn’t like Marek. Maddeningly, he can’t stop thinking about him. He doesn’t want to see Marek again, but he can't stay away. He’s absolutely not falling for Marek, and he’s definitely not willing to risk it all for him.

Top Shelf

2025

No one ever explained to me what to do when the man who took your virginity turns out to be the one in charge of your physical therapy. NHL veteran Quinn Rhodes was supposed to be a one-time just a hookup who kisses like a dream and screws like a god. Then, three weeks later, a freak accident threatens to destroy my debut NHL career before it begins. And if almost losing my spot on my team wasn't bad enough, I walk into my PT’s office and find him assigned to my recovery. I can handle this, damn it. I can keep it professional. And for a short while, it seems like Quinn’s willing to do the same. But it doesn’t take long for the two of us to shut our mouths and let our bodies do the talking. If this was just physical, two guys scratching an itch, I could handle it. But deep down, I know there's more to it. These stolen moments between us mean something. After all, Quinn doesn’t smile for just anyone, and the way he holds me when our hookups are over tells me that this thing between us doesn't have to end the moment my knee is healed.
