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?

"Here's the thing though . . ." He trails off thoughtfully and then he looks straight at me. His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis. Recently made redundant, permanently unlucky in love, and back living with her parents, she's desperate for a change of scenery. So when an opportunity comes up to work in a hotel in the Highlands, it seems like fate has stepped in. The problem? Her new boss is Ryan Thorne. Her former friend. Her first crush. And the boy who broke her heart nearly 17 years ago. She had no intention of ever seeing him again after that night. And it seems he isn't that keen on having *her* around either. Be prepared for nineties flashbacks, many awkward encounters, and *hopefully* a happy ever after . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Pink Cloud Awards❤️ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Hibiscus Awards❤️ ❤️Winner of Best Opening in Chick Lit in the Berry Pancake awards❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Complete companion novella entitled "No Reservations: Ryan's Version" is now available*

I've been Steel Wolf's manager for years. I always managed to keep my personal life away from the band. Till one night changed everything. Now I'm in love with someone I can't have and the funny thing is he loves me too. He was willing to fight for us, but I wasn't. Now I've lost him for ever. Since I've made a success out of Steal Wolf I've been tasked with managing other bands. Normally its not bad and everyone understands Steel Wolf is always my first priority. But now I've been tasked with a new up and coming rock band who makes what Steel Wolf did back in the day look like child's play. Only saving grace they are going on Tour with Steel Wolf . But that also means I'm going on tour with him.
