As the rookie goalie for the Pittsburgh Fury, I have one job: keep my eye on the puck. I finally made it to the pros, like my father before me, and I have to prove I belong here. But lately, I’ve been distracted. There’s this woman. I met her after a game in Vegas, and we got a little drunk—and married. My new wife is stunning, a cellist whose music breaks down my defenses. Amazingly, she’s moved to Pittsburgh to be with me and she even fits in with my rowdy family. Everything should be perfect. But while I fight to keep my spot between the pipes, she’s struggling to find a path away from her controlling family. And now, her father is feeding nasty rumors to the press and I think my coaches believe them. The team is icing me out. Was this marriage a reckless gamble after all? Playing for Keeps is a sizzling sports romance with a tight-knit hockey family, a marriage of convenience, and two people learning to trust their hearts.

Sometimes, the best defense is a passionate offense. The ref stops the puck in the middle of a playoff game, and I look up from the ice ... to see my boyfriend making out with another guy on the kiss cam. My humiliation goes viral, and suddenly, my entire life—from my back pass to my bisexuality—is tabloid fodder. To make matters worse, the jerk making out with my guy turns out to be the live-in boyfriend of Lena Sinclair, the brand new team dentist for the Pittsburgh Fury. When Doc finds herself homeless after confronting her ex, I offer her my guest room while we both lick our wounds. Revenge sounds sweet to both of us, so we craft the perfect a "summer fling" that'll show our exes exactly what they've lost. Somehow, the line between fake and real grows blurry, and the game becomes dangerously personal. With Lena’s job on the line and the whole world watching my every move, we’re not just playing for payback. We’re fighting a connection neither of us saw coming—one that might be worth risking everything. Playing for Payback is a hockey romance with a curvy heroine, a two-way defender who excels at protecting what matters, and body checks straight from the sin bin.

They call me the enforcer. The troublemaker. As the loose puck in the Stag dynasty, I've earned my reputation. I'm the one who starts fights on the ice and finishes them in bars. The Pittsburgh Fury pays me to be reckless, and I've never been afraid of the penalty box. Until her. One anonymous night at my cousin's ski house with the most intriguing woman I've ever met, and I can't get her out of my head. Sloane doesn't know who I am—doesn't care about my family name or my reputation in the NHL. For once, someone sees past the enforcer to the man beneath. Then she discovers I play alongside her ex-husband. Now she wants nothing to do with me. But I can't walk away, especially after I learn she's pregnant. With my twins. Everyone thinks I'm just a hothead with a talent for breaking things. They're not wrong. But for Sloane and our family, I'll become the man she deserves—even if it means risking everything I've built on the ice. My brothers always said my impulsive nature would burn me someday. They never said the fire would guide me home. Playing with Fire is a steamy hockey romance featuring an enforcer with a heart of gold, his teammate's guarded ex-wife, an accidental pregnancy, and a love that changes everything.
