Una ragazza senza peli sulla lingua, un campione di hockey affascinante e tantissimi equivoci divertenti. Con un famoso giocatore di hockey come fratellastro, l’eccentrica Violet Hall ha parecchia familiarità con la reputazione da donnaioli di tante stelle dell’hockey. Quindi di certo non è interessata al leggendario capitano dei Chicago Hawks, Alex Walters, né al suo bel viso affascinante e ai suoi muscoli duri come la roccia. Ma quando Alex inavvertitamente smentisce l’idea errata di Violet riguardo all’inferiorità dell’intelletto dei giocatori di hockey, diventa all’improvviso molto più che solo un fisico attraente con un viso che lo eguaglia. E in un momento di mancanza di giudizio, Violet finisce per scoprire quanto Alex sia abile non solo sulla pista da hockey. Comunque lei crede che la notte selvaggia con un giocatore dalla pessima reputazione sia destinata ad essere soltanto questo, l’avventura di una notte. Ma poi Alex comincia a chiamare, a scrivere, a mandare doni stravaganti e divertenti, e tutto a un tratto diventa troppo difficile da ignorare e troppo irresistibile per non farselo piacere. Con la stampa che descrive Alex come un donnaiolo seriale, i paparazzi, le fan scatenate, due famiglie invadenti, Violet è davvero pronta a fidarsi è a mettere in gioco il suo cuore? Una sana dose di ironia e un finale che mette il buonumore delizieranno le lettrici. Publisher Weekly

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I''m a rule follower. I''ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don''t get drunk, and I definitely don''t pick up random women at bars. Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie. I got drunk. And picked up a stranger. Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I''m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place. She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her. Six weeks later I''m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I''m the goalie for Seattle''s NHL team. And Queenie? Turns out she''s the general manager''s daughter.

An Amazon Charts bestseller. From the New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love. When I joined Seattle''s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain''s apartment. Did I mention that he''s married to a woman who definitely was not her? Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she''s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she''s not the captain''s mistress. She''s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister. So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn''t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

Three sexy, hilarious full-length Shacking Up novels by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting together in one convenient package for the first time! Shacking Up Ruby Scott is months behind on rent and can’t seem to land a steady job. She has one chance to turn things around with a big audition. But instead of getting her big break, she gets sick as a dog and completely bombs it in the most humiliating fashion. All thanks to a mysterious, gorgeous guy who kissed—and then coughed on—her at a party the night before. Luckily, her best friend might have found the perfect opportunity; a job staying at the lavish penthouse apartment of hotel magnate Bancroft Mills while he’s out of town, taking care of his exotic pets. But when the newly-evicted Ruby arrives to meet her new employer, it turns out Bane is the same guy who got her sick. Hooking Up Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw. Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical. Making Up Cosy Felton is great at her job—so when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list. Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City but pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him. As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off.

*A Standalone novel* I''m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance "Romance." I''m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I''m a player on and off the ice. I''m the one women with no inhibitions want. Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don''t know how to be any other way. I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she''s the kind of bad I deserve. At least that''s what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She''s all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark. I shouldn''t want her. But I do. I should leave her alone. But I won''t.

The entire crew piles into vehicles and drives to Alex and Violet''s Chicago cottage for a few days of relaxation―and hopefully a chance for Randy to shake the anxiety that''s been plaguing him. Accidental wardrobe malfunctions, typical Violet inspired overshares, and a whole lot of private time round out the perfect weekend getaway. But the moment they return to the city all of Randy''s angst resurfaces with the arrival of a surprise houseguest. ***A PUCKED Series Sequel featuring the couple most likely to be found getting it on in a bathroom.

Being engaged to Alex Waters, team captain and the highest paid NHL player in the league, is awesome. How could it not be? In addition to being an amazing hockey player, he''s an incurable romantic with an XL heart, and an XXL hockey stick in his pants. And he knows how to use it. Incredibly, orgasmically well. Alex is the whole package and more. Literally. Like his package is insane. Total world record holder material. So it makes complete sense that Violet Hall can''t wait to nail him down to the matrimonial mattress and become Mrs. Violet Waters. It''s so romantic. Violet is totally stoked to set a date. Eventually. At some point. Likely before the next millennium. Or when Violet stops getting hives every time someone brings up the wedding, and their mothers stop colluding on stadium sized venues. Whichever comes first. ***Forever PUCKED is a followup to PUCKED (The Pucked Series Book 1), while it is not necessary to have read Pucked Up (Book 2) or Pucked Over (Book 3) it is highly recommended to that you read Pucked first.***
