After a messy breakup and one impulsive decision, Gabriela "Gabi" Andersen leaves Minnesota behind for a fresh start at a ranch resort in small-town Texas. She expects awkward small talk, unbearable heat, and maybe a mild identity crisis. What she doesn't expect is Willow Creek itself - the bonfires by the lake, the gossip-filled café on Third Street, a town where everybody knows everybody... and Caleb Carter. Charming. Reckless. Infuriatingly attractive. Caleb is exactly the kind of man Gabi promised herself to avoid: a cowboy with a dangerous smile and a reputation half the town loves talking about. But the longer she stays in Willow Creek, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry between them. And in a town this small? Everybody notices.

Finish Line is the third book in the Chicago Titans series. While each book follows a different couple and can be enjoyed as a standalone, the best reading experience comes from reading the series in order. Book 1: The Longest Rebound Book 2: Off the Record Book 3: Finish Line Titans Universe #3 FINISH LINE Maddie Brooks has a plan. Keep racing. Keep winning. Try not to accidentally set anything on fire. Falling for a professional hockey player was never part of it. Jackson Reed has a plan too. Play hockey. Take care of the people he loves. Avoid unnecessary drama. Getting involved with a race car driver who treats speed limits as a personal insult definitely wasn't on his list. One night. No expectations. No complications. Simple. Unfortunately, neither of them accounted for chemistry, a locker room full of opinions, or a certain young hockey fan who sees straight through both of them. The more time Maddie and Jackson spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend they're just having fun. But Maddie's spent her whole life being the one who leaves first. And some risks are easy. Opening your heart? That's a whole different race. A low-angst, slow-burn sports romance. No cheating, no third-act breakup - just two stubborn people, one very persistent kid, and a team that won't mind its own business.

OFF THE RECORD Titans Universe #2 This book can be read as a standalone, but is best enjoyed after The Longest Rebound. - Reporter Lexi Hart gets thrown headfirst into the world of professional hockey. There's just one problem. She knows absolutely nothing about hockey. Which leads to more than a few awkward interviews, several public embarrassments, and a truly impressive ability to put her foot in her mouth whenever Theo Olsen is around. Unfortunately, Theo is around a lot. As one of the Chicago Titans' biggest stars, he's exactly the kind of player Lexi should keep things professional with. Instead, they argue. Constantly. Until somewhere between the post-game interviews, playoff chaos, and one orange kitten with impeccable timing, the lines start to blur. Now Lexi is trying to cover the biggest story of her career without becoming part of it. And Theo? Well. Theo seems to be enjoying her disasters far more than he should. OFF THE RECORD is a slow-burn hockey romance featuring a grumpy NHL player, a journalist who absolutely should know better, Stanley Cup playoff chaos, found family, secret relationships, and an orange cat who accidentally steals everyone's spotlight.

It wasn't supposed to be about working to survive, going hungry, and sleeping in my car.

But it is what it is, and I always find a way to get by. When I'm not working, I'm studying. That is, until the crush that's way out of my league starts paying me attention. Ethan: One last year of freedom. It cost my dad a summer of partying and a three million dollar car, but I'm back at college. I have one year to get as much partying and playing done as possible.

A professional hockey player nearing retirement falls hard for his best friend's much younger and seemingly uninterested sister, but things change when she needs a place to stay and he offers up his home and his bed. *** After one too many drinks and a little too much chemistry, Bryce Roehm wakes up next to Maria Evans-and nothing has ever felt more wrong... or more right. Bryce, a seasoned defenseman for the New York Empires, is in his final season before retirement. Known for his bad-boy reputation and commitment to bachelorhood, he's the last person who should be hooking up with his best friend's little sister. Especially when Maria is eight years younger, working hard to finish college, and nannying for one of his teammates. They agree to keep their one-night stand a secret. No harm, no foul. But secrets never stay buried for long. Maria's finally building a life she's proud of-free from her controlling father and determined to stand on her own two feet. She's not looking for complications. And Bryce? He's as complicated as they come. So when circumstances force them to live under the same roof, one thing becomes clear: How are they supposed to keep their hands-and hearts-to themselves?
