Violet Everyone on campus knows how hulking hockey enforcer Nash Richards demolishes his opponents on the ice, but he demolished my heart freshman year. Now, he's my brand-new athletic training client-and he wants me back. I can't afford to lose focus during my senior year, but one moment of weakness has me falling for Nash all over again. Unfortunately, he has secrets, and now they're my secrets, too. Ones that could cost us both everything. Fraternizing between the trainers and athletes is strictly forbidden, but my heart doesn't care about the rules. Nash Violet Walsh is the one that got away... and I'm the one who pushed her to leave. It was the biggest mistake of my life, and I've regretted it ever since. Working together is the second chance I never thought I'd get. The magnetism between us is impossible to deny-and one kiss is all it takes to get Violet to admit it too. She says getting involved now could cost us both our careers, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Two years ago, I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. And I'm not going to let it happen twice.

After being dumped on her on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex's biggest competition, Chase Carter: Antagonizer, womanizer, and infamous left winger for the Boyd University Falcons. Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team's #1 rival. But a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up... Until she throws up on his shoes. Caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena, Bailey and Chase are on opposite sides of the bench. He's worked his entire life to secure a future in the NHL. She's tagged along for the ride while her brother, star defensive for their school's team, has done the same. Fraternizing with the enemy is definitely out of the question-except this enemy is impossible to resist. * Note: OFFSIDE will be published on December 5, 2022 in Kindle Unlimited and paperback.
