I never wanted to be a cowboy - living in a small town was suffocating. The military was my out. I saw every place I ever wanted and everything that nightmares are made of...until I almost lost my life and ended up back home.

Emily: I fell in love with him when I was 14. Under the stars, he told me he loved me, and under the stars, we promised to love each other, always. But under the stars, he broke my heart. He left me without a second glance. I was just an afterthought. Now he's back, but this time, I'm not falling for his Southern charm. Maybe. Ethan: On my 21st birthday, I found out that everything I thought I knew was a lie, that the man I had grown up thinking was my father wasn't. The pain I felt blinded me. I left them all behind, including her, my best friend and the woman I was going to marry.

I was the bad boy on and off the ice. I loved it - owned it. Hockey. Women. Money. Until she came into the picture. Now, all I want to do is be better. I want to prove to myself I don’t have to be the guy everyone thinks I am. She knocked down the walls I spent my whole life building.

It was time to celebrate. After all my hard work, I was graduating at the top of my class. Our family vacation was the perfect chance to relax. Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window. Tristan's everything I've always wanted but can never have. One night was all we had together. Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him.

It wasn’t hard for me to walk away from my family without looking back—the time had come for me to live for myself. New city. New job. My new boss? He’s gorgeous. It’s too bad that handsome face is wasted on such a condescending prick. He hates me, and the feeling is mutual. The only reason he may not be the literal devil is because he’s a devoted single dad, making it clear Caine is, in fact, capable of human emotion.

Never fall in love. That was my motto, and I was sticking to it. Having my heart broken once was enough, and I never wanted to do it again. He was supposed to be a one-night stand, the only thing I do. One rule shouldn't be so hard to follow, but then I went back for seconds, then thirds. After that, I lost count of the number of times I lost myself in his arms. When I wasn't paying attention, my guard slipped.

My dreams came true when I was adopted at ten. I was the best on the ice. Living the life every kid dreams of. We’ve been best friends since then. Even when she was the annoying little sister following us around. I would do anything for her. It is another family vacation, except this time it feels different. Everything feels different.

Samantha...I had the perfect life; a husband who loved me and two kids who were my world. But then someone else answered his phone, and my perfect life shattered. When he died, I was left with answers he couldn't give me and a box full of lies. He left me broken. Blake...I fell in love when I was 15, knowing she was the one. For five years, she was my everything - my every breath, every heartbeat, every thought. She made me promise to move on and love again, but I broke those promises because I can't move on.

I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on. The only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me. A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family. What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me.

Never make the same mistake twice is my motto. After being left in the dust of an old pickup truck, I promised that I would take care of myself and never trust another man with a sexy smirk and cowboy boots. Then he showed up, and he’s everywhere I turn, making me want something I shouldn’t.

Being a cowboy is in my blood, just like my father, and his father before him. Except unlike my father the only thing that interested me were my horses. I was the quiet one, the one who stood in the back and watched things unfold. Until I found her fighting for her life. Something inside me shifted. I couldn’t stop it, I fell in love with her. Even though I knew, in the end, she would leave me.

Coming back home was supposed to be normal - not that my life had ever been normal, but it was getting there. Then I opened the door and found a man, broken, bloodied, and fighting for his life. I don’t know why, but I said I would take care of him. I had to - needed to. He was a mystery, showing up from out of nowhere. But he might have already stolen my heart.

I was a confirmed bachelor. I was married to my work and committed to nothing more. No woman was going to change that. Eva is my best friend and needed a life-changing favor: marry her so she could gain custody of her niece. A marriage of convenience that would only last a year, tops.

Ich bin Kapitän des NHL-Teams Dallas Oilers. Mit dem Privileg kommen Verpflichtungen. Ich bin ihr Anführer - auf und neben dem Eis. Von außen sieht es sicher so aus, als hätte ich das perfekte Leben. Weit gefehlt. Meine Ehefrau weigert sich, der Scheidung zuzustimmen. Sie will Status und Ruhm, ich will einfach nur frei sein. Es sollte nur ein normaler Abend mit Sponsoren und Mitspielern sein. Doch dann kam alles anders.

Six days in Paris, that was the plan. Keep my head down, do my duty, and then I'd go back to my vineyard. It was smooth sailing until she came into the restaurant and sent back my newest full-bodied savory creation. I ignored her until she stormed out of the restaurant looking for a taxi at one in the morning. The gentleman I was, I couldn't leave her wandering around the streets of Paris, could I? I'd give her a ride, make sure she was safe, and it would be done...except it wasn't.

Sie nennen ihn den begehrtesten Junggesellen der NHL: Miller Adams. Da liegt es auf der Hand, dass er ein Date für den wohltätigen Zweck versteigert. Was hat er zu verlieren? Im schlimmsten Fall verbringt er einen Abend mit einem Fan. Im besten Fall ist sie heiß. Dass seine Traumfrau das höchste Gebot abgibt, ist ... unerwartet. Seit Jahren lässt die Sportreporterin Layla ihn abblitzen, doch jetzt bekommt er endlich eine Chance. Heiß, gefühlvoll und aufregend - das ist die neue Serie von USA TODAY Bestsellerautorin Natasha Madison über die Stars des Eishockey-Teams in Dallas.

Mit dem Schritt in die NHL nach Dallas ging für mich ein Traum in Erfüllung. Ich hatte alles, was ich wollte: Eine erfolgreiche Eishockey-Karriere, eine liebevolle Ehefrau, das erste Kind auf dem Weg. Was sollte schiefgehen? Stellt sich heraus, alles.

Elle s’est promis de ne plus jamais tomber amoureuse. Lui, il recherche la femme de sa vie. Mais après tout, on dit bien que les opposés s’attirent. Vivienne: Ne jamais tomber amoureuse. C’est ma devise, et je m’y suis toujours tenue. Avoir le cœur brisé une fois m’a suffi, je ne veux plus jamais revivre cette expérience. Il était censé n’être qu’un coup d’un soir, parce que c’est tout ce que je m’autorise. Cette simple règle ne devrait pas être aussi dure à suivre, mais je suis retournée le voir une deuxième fois, puis une troisième.

Elle, n’était pas prête à faire la rencontre de quelqu’un et encore moins à craquer pour le nouveau coach de son fils. Lui, est prêt à prouver à tout le monde qu’ils sont faits l’un pour l’autre. Caroline: Je ne m’attendais pas à devenir mère célibataire à seize ans. Mais je ne changerais mon passé pour rien au monde, parce que ce petit garçon est tout pour moi. Comme mon fils ne s’intéresse qu’au hockey, je cumule deux boulots pour m’assurer qu’il puisse y jouer. Je serais prête à tout pour qu’il n’ait pas à souffrir des mauvaises décisions de son père.

Tomber amoureux est bien la dernière chose dont ils ont besoin à l’heure actuelle... Zoé Quand on grandit entourée de joueurs de hockey, une chose est sûre : hors de question de se mettre en couple avec l’un d’eux. Et puis ce n’est pas comme si je cherchais une relation amoureuse... Jusqu’à ce qu’il chamboule toutes mes résolutions... Viktor À en croire mes parents, j’ai commencé à patiner avant même de savoir marcher. J’ai été sélectionné à la NHL à dix-sept ans. Et je vivais à LA, la ville de tous les possibles.
