Book Description
"You're going to be a daddy." Looking up into Alexi Petrov’s dark eyes as I break the news, I’m scared out of my mind. This man is the most terrifying defender in the NHL, and if it weren't for my sporty new baby bump, I probably wouldn't believe we hooked up that night. (Yes, I’ve sworn off margaritas for life.) But the Alexi who goes to my doctor appointments, moves me into his guesthouse, and cooks me so many gourmet meals I look like I'm carrying twins? He isn’t scary at all. He’s sweet. And intense. And so sexy I want to smear him with honey and lick it off every inch of his powerful, protective, oh-so-swoony-worthy body. But that’s not a part of our relationship anymore. We’re friends who intend to raise a child together. That’s all… Right? **** There’s no way I can be just friends with Amanda Esposito. She’s everything I want in a woman—strong, sexy, compassionate, a little bit wild—with curves for miles and a smile she smiles just for me. But no matter how much I want her, I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to be that guy—the one with his heart on his sleeve. I learned the hard way that love can get real ugly, real fast. But when my new family is threatened, I realize how much I want this woman and our baby in my life for the long haul, and how hard I’m willing to fight for them. They say I’m a dangerous man to cross on the ice, but they haven’t seen anything yet…

Book Description
Can Blake overcome his commitment issues in time to save our fake marriage? I'm house-sitting for my brother and watch the oh-so-hot neighbor move in and make sure I'm up at the crack of dawn just to watch him jog by the picture window of this mini-mansion. We have an awkward introduction and the next thing I know, I'm on a vacation to a tropical island for "work" before pre-season hockey begins. Blake doesn't know I need him for research for the book I'm secretly writing for my next career attempt. The next in a string of many career attempts trying to get out from my famous hockey-playing brother's shadow. Besides, my brother got me this gig not knowing who I would be assigned to and he's away on his honeymoon. Blake asks me to pose as his fake girlfriend when we realize his ex is on the island modeling and she crashes our dinner date making us put his plan into action. Now, I'm technically 'off the market' with all these hotties walking around for the charity event because we're 'together'. I'm terrible with details and forget to obtain a special visa which leaves me looking at a rough toss into the gulag if I try to leave. But Blake won't go without me because he's a gentleman like that. Our only solution is to get hitched, so we can both make it back to Maine before the first hockey puck flies. No one needs to know we're married so we strike a deal and all is good. Or is it? My best-laid plan goes awry because when we step off the plane, and the world knows our secret and our fake marriage becomes a real one. It's not long before my sponsors come crawling back to me now that I am associated with a famous hockey star and this last name is a commodity they can capitalize on. I can get my old life back! However, when he's away on road trips I miss him. And when he doesn't complain about my cooking disasters, I realize I've fallen hard for this hockey hottie. But has he fallen for me? This is a fake relationship, close proximity, off-limits situation. HEA guaranteed. Links to free short, sample chapters of another book, and a bonus scene included for your reading enjoyment.

Puckstruck
Author: Stephen Smith
Publisher: Greystone Books Ltd
ISBN: 1771640480
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Like many a Canadian kid, Stephen Smith was up on skates first thing as a boy, out in the weather chasing a puck and the promise of an NHL career. Back indoors after that didn't quite work out, he turned to the bookshelf. That's where, without entirely meaning to, he ended up reading all the hockey books. There was Crunch and Boom Boom, Slashing! and High Stick; there was Max Bentley: Hockey's Dipsy-Doodle Dandy, Blue Line Murder, and Nagano, a Czech hockey opera. There was Blood on the Ice, Cracked Ice, Fire On Ice, Power On Ice, Cowboy On Ice, and Steel On Ice. In Puckstruck, Smith chronicles his wide-eyed and sometimes wincing wander through hockey's literature, language, and culture, weighing its excitement and unbridled joy against its costs and vexing brutality. In exploring his own lifelong love of the game, hoping to surprise some sense out of it, he sifts hockey's narratives in search of hockey's heart, what it means and why it should distress us even as we celebrate its glories. On a journey to discover what the game might have to say about who we are as Canadians, he seeks to answer some of its essential riddles.
