Dominic Fox is as well known for his playboy reputation as he is for his hockey stats. Ready for love? That’s new. Turns out, finding it is harder than scoring a hat trick. After one too many disastrous first dates, signing up for a reality dating show seems like the next logical step. Until his teammate’s little sister steps out of the limo. The woman who’s made an art of giving him nothing but sass and side-eye. Mia Matthews has spent her life running from expectations, anxiety, and anyone who gets too close. A few weeks in the sun sounds like the perfect escape. Leave it to her brother’s best friend, who coasts on charm and a too-bright smile, to ruin it. Their deal? He’ll keep her on the show long enough to enjoy the free vacation, and she’ll play matchmaker to help him find “the one. ”. No feelings. No funny business. But as Mia sets Dominic up with perfect matches—and okay, a few questionable ones—they start to let their guards down. And she realizes there’s more to him than she ever let herself see. Too bad falling for him wasn’t part of the deal. Or her plans. less

A country singer. A hockey player. Six months to not fall in love. Country singer Summer Starling went from Nashville unknown to national attention thanks to her appearance on a reality dating show. Now she has one shot. Six months in Chicago with a legendary producer. One album that could launch her career. A simple plan: work, write, sing, repeat... moreA country singer. A hockey player. Six months to not fall in love. Country singer Summer Starling went from Nashville unknown to national attention thanks to her appearance on a reality dating show. Now she has one shot. Six months in Chicago with a legendary producer. One album that could launch her career. A simple plan: work, write, sing, repeat. Her new roommate—the six-foot-something NHL captain she slept with on her first night in town—is exactly the kind of distraction she didn’t account for. Miles King doesn’t do relationships. He keeps his focus on hockey and his life carefully controlled. But Summer is sunshine and chaos in cowboy boots, and she’s making him want things he’d stopped believing in. Things like forever. Things he can’t have with someone who’s halfway out the door. When resisting her becomes harder than the inevitable goodbye, he gives in. Just until she leaves. He didn’t expect her good luck texts to become the difference between winning and losing. Or for her laugh to become his favorite sound. By the time he realizes temporary will never be enough, the album wraps and Summer’s career takes off. She’s leaving. He can’t ask her to stay. But what happens when the person you’re supposed to set free becomes the one your heart won’t let go of? less
