Gamer: I have no idea why Raelynn Walker is pretending to be her famous recording artist sister.

But when tension bubbles up between us, and nearly sets my cabin on fire, I’m suddenly conflicted. Breaking my rules are out of the question, especially after I find out who she really is. I need to end this. Now. Yeah, walking away is what I need to do. Then again, they don’t call me Bad Boy CEO, because I’m…you know…good.

A wedding, a reckless moment, and a single choice that sets off a chain reaction capable of destroying everything: my brother’s trust, his family’s belief in me, and most painfully, my own fragile heart. Just when I think things couldn’t get worse… they do. And the only way out might save everyone else—but it’ll shatter me.

Which is why he asked me to be his wingman to get the girl he wanted. But what he doesn’t know—can never know—is that I’ve been in love with him for as long as I can remember, and I know things about him, things he doesn’t want anyone to know. Including me. We escape to his cottage together, where I school the well-known player in the art of dating. What I hadn’t expected was for him to teach me a thing or two—behind closed door. His every touch drew me in deeper, until I was drowning in him. Now, I can only hope he’ll see that the girl he wants might not be the one he needs—because I’m the only woman who knows who he really is and can help him re-write his future. But what if he doesn’t? What will become of me—us—if my very best friend, the man I love, walks away with my heart?

“My go to author for sexy romance.” – Lauren Blakely, #1 NYT’S Bestselling author. I needed a role model for my son. A big brother to mentor him. What I didn’t need was a rebellious hockey player famous for his on and off rink fights. I should have said no. Should have vetoed the idea the second I heard it. But I didn’t. Why, you ask. Two words. Liam. Dalton. God’s gift to the universe, not to mention the needy spot between my legs. I didn’t want to like him. I didn’t want his name on my lips. But the second I heard mine on his, I couldn’t help but wonder if my son’s big brother… …could be my big daddy.

He was my high school crush—the guy who had no clue I existed. Sure, we shared a fleeting moment in the country club closet, but he thought I was someone else. After that night, I went to college, moved to Boston to find myself, and pushed him out of my thoughts. It worked—until he saw me performing at a local community theater. My character is bold, daring, and vivacious—everything I’m not—which makes him believe, again, that I’m someone else. He likes what he sees, and while a hot fling with an NHL star isn’t on my bingo card, sometimes the numbers line up vertically, or horizontally—or, in my case, both. It’s only when I find myself in his arms—and his bed—that I begin to discover who I really am and what I want. The problem? He has no idea I’m the nerdy girl from high school he never noticed. But one thing I do know, after spending time with him and learning his fears and hopes, is that he’s everything I’ve ever wanted—and I’m everything that can destroy him.

The Puck Charmer: All I want is to build my landscaping business and take care of my grandmother. But when some hot out-of-towner rams his vehicle into mine, and doesn’t have the funds to pay for repairs, we come to a compromise. He works off the damage by working for me. When a touch leads to a kiss, I quickly learn that while he might not have a green thumb, he certainly has a magical touch. Who knew a collision would lead to a crash course on love? But after I discover the secret he’s been hiding, will our feelings for one another wither or will they bloom into something more? The Troublemaker: I had perfected turning a bad situation around and making it work for me. But when dream sex turns out to be real and too much tequila ends up with Elvis and a sidewalk wedding that’s actually legit, I thought I’d reached my limit. First, I’m not the type of girl hot hockey player, Cason goes for. But the love marks on my body the next morning told a different story, so imagine my surprise when he offers to be my temporary husband to help me with a situation. Talk about turning a reckless mistake into a win-win situation! What could possibly go wrong with having a harmless affair with the hottest guy on the planet? Oh, only just about everything. The Rule Breaker: I needed a role model for my son. A big brother to mentor him. What I didn’t need was a rebellious hockey player famous for his on and off rink fights. I should have said no. Should have vetoed the idea the second I heard it. But I didn’t. Why, you ask. Two words. Liam. Dalton. God’s gift to the universe, not to mention the needy spot between my legs. I didn’t want to like him. I didn’t want his name on my lips. But the second I heard mine on his, I couldn’t help but wonder if my son’s big brother……could be my big daddy.
