Blizzard captain Dave Grimson’s life is as tangled as a wad of skate laces—and it’s a mess of his own making. Used to being in charge, “the Grim Reaper” has become the team leader in name only. Adding insult to injury, he finds himself dumped and single. Though he’s determined to piece his life back together, it’s time to leave his team and his city behind. What he needs is a trade and a fresh start. Dating? He’s leaving that behind too, until he collides with Ellie Hendricks. Literally. 

Ellie is fighting to keep her landscaping company afloat before it gets buried under the mountain of debt her ex left behind. The last thing she needs is Dave Grimson crashing into her life. Besides, Dave is big and growly and so not her type—even if she did have time to give him a second look. Which she doesn’t.

Dave’s determined to make up for the damage his careless behavior has caused Ellie. What begins as a good intention, however, leads somewhere he never expected, and his well-guarded heart starts to show some cracks. Ellie’s unlike any woman he’s ever known. She’s unimpressed by his money, his celebrity, and him. All she wants from Dave is to have her van fixed. But he didn’t get where he is by backing away from challenges, and he’s not backing away from this one either—until he has to face-off against his demons. 

As Dave lowers his defenses, Ellie catches a glimpse of something tender—and very compelling. But Dave has secrets he’s locked away, and she can’t solve them or his mixed signals. To understand Dave’s every unspoken word, she’s going to have to read between the lines.

Keeping it casual is the smart play, but Dave and Ellie’s mutual attraction won’t be denied, and it pulls them into the deep end … until those secrets come home to roost, threatening to crush the shaky trust they’ve built. Can they keep their heads above water, or will they be caught in a surge that drowns them both? 

Dana McPherson—Mac to those who know him—is a goaltender without a job, a team, or a city. Until he lands in Denver as a back-up goalie. He should be happy, but he’s not. Not only is his new job a step down from the starting goaltender position he’s accustomed to, but his paycheck reflects the demotion. Worse, he’s uprooting his family from the only home they’ve ever known—and he’s doing it as a widowed, single dad of two young children. 

Moving to a different town means making new friends, and when Mac’s invited to his team captain’s place for a Stanley Cup celebration, he knows only one friend to invite: Mia Morales, the pretty property manager who found the Denver rental house he and his family are settling into. 

Mia’s burned out on her job and her complicated personal life, and she doesn’t need to muddy the waters even further by getting mixed up with her hunky client. But Mia has a hard time saying no, which is precisely why her life’s a tangle, so when Mac turns on his boyish charm, she convinces herself she’s simply doing the guy a favor. And she’ll have no trouble keeping it in the client zone because she already has a boyfriend. Or so she tells Mac. The netminder is full of surprises, though, and she finds herself tempted to ditch her non-existent beau. 

The path to Mac and Mia’s happily-ever-after is littered with roadblocks. Some are of their own making, but others are barriers put up by those with a vested interest in keeping them apart. Will they be able to skate around the barricades blocking their way, or will they veer so far off the path that they lose out on their happy ending?

She can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual. Can they make it through quarantine together?

Quinn Hadley only does one thing as well as he plays hockey—wheeling the ladies. He’s the envy of his teammates. With puck bunnies on speed dial in every city, he never spends a night alone unless it’s by choice. He has a certain type—hot, blond, and easy. So when he meets Sarah Nelson, bagging her is nowhere on his radar. Not only is she a brunette, but her fiery, take-no-prisoners style is a turn-off. Plus, she’s his teammate’s sister and totally off-limits.

But his disabled mother—who’s just been foisted on him—loves Sarah. And not only is his mom methodically ruining his sweet bachelor lifestyle, but she keeps firing every caregiver Quinn hires for her. So when COVID-19 puts everyone on lockdown, Quinn offers Sarah an opportunity she can’t refuse, despite the warning bells clanging in his head. 

Sarah Nelson is fleeing a devastating breakup and has nowhere to go but to her brother’s place in Denver. An engineer by training, she needs a job pronto so she can yank herself back up on her own two feet. But COVID-19 stops her dead in her tracks. So when Quinn Hadley offers her a temporary job making stupid money, she has a hard time refusing—despite the fact she has to live under the same roof with a guy who turns her stomach. She’s had too much experience with charmers like him, and Quinn Hadley is the biggest charmer of all. With a track record to prove it. But it’s the other side of Quinn she never expects, and it’s far more lethal than his public persona.

When Mr. Smooth and Ms. Prickly shelter in place together, not even his mansion is big enough to contain the fireworks. These two are sparks colliding with gas: combustible and explosive. 

Someone’s bound to get burned.
