Twitter is about to explode in this steamy hockey love story!! "That 'no-fraternization' policy is about to get broken." -Evan Kazmeirowicz, VEGAS CRUSH Definitely the goal in mind for the star winger and team captain of the Vegas Crush the day he lays eyes on the new social media manager for the team. But for Holly Laurent, it’s something more along the lines of: never-ever-gonna-happen-Mr.-Hottie-McHockeypants. Dating a “player” is a risky business, especially if she wants to keep the job she just landed with the hottest team in the NHL. Holly loves her independence and her career. She’s doing just fine on her own, thank you very much. Allowing her head to be turned by a hot hockey player and putting her job at risk? Not. Happening. Ever. Not even if he looks like a god. Not even if he possesses enough charm to tempt the panties from a nun. Not even if she has to cross her fingers behind her back every time she tells him she’s not interested. Policies exist for a reason. Rules are not meant to be broken and sexy players are not to be trusted. Right? **CRUSHED can be read as a complete standalone sports romance. Each book in the Vegas Crush series is about a different couple. less

Things are starting to heat up in the therapy room… for one Russian bad-boy defenseman and his not-so-innocent virgin physical therapist in this steamy hockey love story. "There's a lot more to me than what I've let on in the public eye." —Georg Kolochev, VEGAS CRUSH No, I don't drink vodka straight from the bottle. I don't pour it over my breakfast cereal either. I am not in need of an intervention... unless it involves me and a certain blonde bombshell alone in a room with a locking door... moreThings are starting to heat up in the therapy room… for one Russian bad-boy defenseman and his not-so-innocent virgin physical therapist in this steamy hockey love story. "There's a lot more to me than what I've let on in the public eye." —Georg Kolochev, VEGAS CRUSH No, I don't drink vodka straight from the bottle. I don't pour it over my breakfast cereal either. I am not in need of an intervention... unless it involves me and a certain blonde bombshell alone in a room with a locking door. I've done my fair share of partying, I'll admit. And yes, I've built up something of a reputation with the ladies when not on the ice. That's on me for being careless with my posts on social. And I do know what's most important in my life. Two things. Hockey... and Pamela Jenson. My favorite physical therapist needs me so much more than she knows. Because I am the guy delivering her sin shot. Yeah, you heard me. I'm her first. Sinning with Pam has never felt so good. **SIN SHOT can be read as a complete standalone sports romance. Each book in the Vegas Crush series is about a different couple. less

"Public Relations" is about to take on a whole new meaning for a standout Russian enforcer with a bad reputation and the feisty redhead from the PR department who just might be the one person who can help him shine up his tarnished image in this grumpy/sunshine hockey love story.

Fighting on the ice for my team is something I take very seriously because I came to the USA to play hockey, not be a celebrity. Unfortunately, this logic has my public image taking a beating—not that I care very much how others think of me. Except for her. Scarlett.

In Public Relations... So yeah, the no-fraternization policy is an issue, but hardly my main concern. The biggest hurdle is Scarlett thinking I am part of a gambling ring for the Russian Mafia. Crazy, right? I can deal with setting her straight about her ridiculous suspicions, but cracking through that hard shell she has built around her broken heart? This is my real challenge. But oh how I love a good fight. Winning is everything to me. Especially when the prize is the Las Vegas beauty I named the Red Rocket... **RED ROCKET can be read as a complete standalone sports romance.

Living in Montreal and playing the best hockey of my career after leading my team to a Cup-winning season last year? Check. Traded overnight to the Vegas Crush and blindsided with no warning whatsoever? Also, check. So now I’m in Vegas. Feeling all the uncomfortableness of a new environment where nothing is familiar. Where every person I see is someone I don’t know. Where "fitting in" will be nearly impossible without an established routine... moreLiving in Montreal and playing the best hockey of my career after leading my team to a Cup-winning season last year? Check. Traded overnight to the Vegas Crush and blindsided with no warning whatsoever? Also, check. So now I’m in Vegas. Feeling all the uncomfortableness of a new environment where nothing is familiar. Where every person I see is someone I don’t know. Where "fitting in" will be nearly impossible without an established routine. To help settle me in, Vegas Crush Media Relations arranged for a volunteer gig teaching guitar lessons to disadvantaged kids at a local youth center. They feel that connecting with the community will help boost my image with the Vegas fans. I don’t mind volunteering at all. I prefer to keep busy, and I think it could be a fun way to pass my downtime. But there is a hitch. Of course, there is. That stunning drummer from Love Scrum I saw play my first night out in Vegas? The one with the ends of her dark, silky hair dyed electric purple? The one with the mile-long legs who danced with me (and kissed me) when I stupidly crashed that after-party? The one-in-the-same gorgeous drummer I blew off at the end of the night because I’m awkward AF in new situations with new people...as previously noted? That one??? Well, today I found out her name is Billie Hirsch. And she is everything I said she was…plus a whole lot more. More...like she’s the program director for those guitar lessons I’ll be teaching over at the Crush Foundation Music Workshop. More...like Ms. Hirsch and I will be forced to work closely together throughout the entire season. More...like Billie Hirsch kinda hates me and this is going to be a huge pucking problem. **The KEEPER can be read as a complete standalone sports romance.
