Crushing on the Captain
Eve Kingston is sick of being pushed around by hockey. Her entire life, the spotlight has been on her older brothers. She adores Nick and Logan, but she's been fighting hockey practices, tournaments, and games since she was a toddler. Not to mention all of their accomplishments, awards, exam scores, and achievements that she could never seem to earn. Now that she's all grown-up, she wants nothing to do with hockey (other than going to a couple of Logan's games every year). So far, she's avoided hockey pretty well. She's a first grade teacher, living in a tiny, cramped apartment with a kitchen older than her parents. Everything is going smoothly. Except when she's at the educator convention of the year, Eve ends up trapped in Seattle due to a snowstorm. Worse, she runs into Graham Everett, Logan's teammate and captain. Also the guy she's been crushing on for years, but that's not important. Suddenly hockey looks a lot harder to stay away from if it involves Graham. Especially since he's just as sweet, and kind, and adorable as she's ever imagined. Logan seems to be interfering as well, naming Graham the best man at his wedding while Eve is the maid of honor. Eve just wants to have her brothers back, like when they were kids and everything was easy. But if she happens to find love along the way, it might be with the man of her dreams. This is the sequel to Full Strength, but it totally can be read as a standalone! This is a closed door/clean romance, but there maybe be some more heated moments in the story.

Secret Santa ✔️
"You had no right to do that," I snap, trying my best to out walk him. His chuckle was loud behind me and his hand griped on my forearm, stopping me. Something about his warmth gave me chills all over my body. Something I don't think I ever wanted in the first place. Especially from him and especially now. "Yes I did, and I still do." His hard grip around my arm loosened, and snaked up to lock his fingers through my hair. Oh Momma, what is happening? Being this close to him has been happening way too often for normal. Still, I couldn't break away from this close contact, I was frozen, shocked. "What makes you think that?" My question hit him with humor, and instead of fully responding, he leans his face closer to mine. The smirk on his face stayed once he noticed the affect he had on me. "Because," he whispers out pressing our bodies together. "I'm your Secret Santa," he licks his lips as if he's hungry, then continues, "I can give you anything I want to give you." His free arm wraps around my waist, and he lifts me up during the action before pressing our lips together. The main character is Kimberly. She's an accident prone person who wants nothing but to enjoy her winter. Her friends want the best for her after a terrible break up they witnessed. Every year they all hold the traditional Secret Santa. Somebody from the group believes that they are what Kimberly needs. This is about Kimberly and her crazy winter story about her not so Secret Santa.Complete
