y

After being selected in the first round of the NHL draft, Eric Fairburn was in a car accident that destroyed his career. Now, five years later, he’s getting one last chance. If he can make the Vancouver Vice of the AHL, it could be the first step to making his hockey dreams come true. There are only two things standing in his way—the coach from hell and his own self-destructive ways.

The one talent he hasn’t lost is his way with women. So he’s surprised to be turned down by a mysterious woman he meets in a bar. Eric finds himself pursuing her when he should be focusing on hockey. Yet he’s drawn to her confidence and independence, believing that might be the key to fixing his own on-ice issues.

Can she help Eric overcome his past and make the team?

This is the first book in the Vancouver Vice hockey series.

When Amanda Richardson was a teenager, she had a huge crush on NHL hockey superstar, Chris Luczak. Now, over a decade later, she walks into a boardroom and there he is—looking as hunky and confident as ever. But working with Chris is the least of her problems, since her family’s AHL hockey team is in crisis mode.

Chris Luczak hated retiring from his one true love: playing hockey. He’s been going through the motions at head office, but now he’s got a real challenge. All he has to do is persuade the ownership of the Vancouver Vice that—given their current problems—their best option is to sell the team.

At first, all they do is argue. Amanda has a million reasons not to trust Chris, beginning with his reputation as a womanizing playboy. But she needs all the hockey knowledge inside that sculpted, muscular body—not that she’s noticed, of course. And Chris realizes that the longer he puts off this deal, the more time he’ll get to spend with this fiery woman.

Can they work together to save the Vancouver Vice?

This is book two in the Vancouver Vice series but can be read as a freestanding novel.

Marty Devonshire is the hulking enforcer of the Vancouver Vice. He’s better known for his fists than his goal-scoring. But inside, he’s a complete softy—shy, gentle, and nervous around women. Still, he’s secretly tickled to be asked to pose for a team charity calendar.

Elaine Salang had her heart broken once. So she’s determined that from now on, career will come first: her job, her school, and her volunteer work at a cat shelter. Being stuck all day at a calendar photo shoot with a bunch of rowdy hockey players is not her idea of fun, but it will save the shelter.

When Marty and Elaine meet, sparks fly—in one direction anyway. Marty falls hard for both Elaine and a spunky little rescue cat. But when he finally gets a date with Elaine, he blows it. What will it take for Marty to get a second chance? Nothing less than the combined efforts of his whole team—plus Knightley the cat—will help big Marty to score off the ice.

This novella is book four in the Vancouver Vice series but can be read as a freestanding book.
