Emerson
It was only supposed to be one night. I'd drop the puck at the Blackhawks game, take some pics and watch the game. He wasnt supposed to fall in love with me and he certainly wasn't going to anymore when he learned my secret.
I've liked Jonathan Toews from afar for 4 years but how do I tell him about my past? I can't be what he needs as much as I want to be. I dont tell him and that's the problem because everyday I hide it Im falling more in love with him. It's also one more day that I risk everything coming crashing down around me
Jonathan
I don't know what I was expecting that night but Im sure glad it ended up being her. I maybe a big time player in the NHL, captain even, but I'm not one outside the arena. I can be intense and serious, but when I know what I want I go for it. On and off the ice. And what I want is Emerson.
I can't help but feel she's hiding something from me though. I'd do anything to see her smile and be happy if she'd let me. How do I get her to open up and trust me? To believe that we could be amazing together? Do I push her to tell me what she's hiding? Or maybe does Love need no words?

Amelia Landing a position as lead photographer for the Griffins is a dream come true. Capturing every intense game, every unforgettable moment on the ice-this is everything I've worked for. After everything I've been through, this job is supposed to be my sanctuary, a place where I can keep a safe distance from anyone who might get too close. Besides, with the no-fraternization clause, there's no danger of crossing any lines...or there shouldn't be. But then there's him-the star defenseman, with that easy smile and hopeless romantic heart. He doesn't know my past, and he can't understand why I can't risk letting him in. He's a complication I didn't ask for, a temptation I can't afford. But part of me wonders what it might feel like to believe in someone again...if only I dared. Logan After getting burned once, I told myself I wouldn't go all in again. Love was supposed to come easy to me-the happy-go-lucky defenseman who can make friends with anyone. But the last time I let someone in, it ended with a bruise I'm still healing from. So yeah, I told myself to keep things simple...until she showed up. She's standoffish, always keeping me at arm's length with this hard look that says, "Stay away." And yet, I catch glimpses of something softer, something she's trying so hard to hide. The more she pushes me away, the more I want to know her, to show her she doesn't have to stay guarded forever. Maybe that's a risk worth taking...if only she'd give me the chance.Complete
A Burn Like This (Mature Jocks Series #4)
FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets. The only place he can be spotted is the gym or the rink, with punching bags or hockey sticks. However, Alex is done playing by the book, he's done denying himself what he wants, what he needs. It's been four whole years, would she give him a chance to explain? Would she want to be a part of his dangerous world? Would she fall in love with him all over again? After all, she was the first person he opened up to, the first woman to see him for him; and for the first time in his entire life, he was scared of something that wasn't his life or duties to his family. It was a different kind of love, a love that burned mansions and cities, a Love that sparked with intimacy so much greater than sex. Four years isn't long enough to forget, is it?

Faceoff
"It's my job, I can't just drop everything for you." Jonathan scuffed, throwing clothes in his bag. He glanced back at Nat who wore glossy eyes and a frown. It broke his heart seeing her like this. She never cried. "I guess this is goodbye then." His eyes shot up to her. He should've seen this coming. Should've prepared himself for this. But he hadn't and if she left he'd be alone again. "Babe." He whispered, reaching out to her. She flinched at his touch, recoiling her arm. "I've got to go." She blinked through blurry vision. He'd lost her. And this time it might have been for good.Complete
