Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. 

Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. 

So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. 

It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. 

It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through.

It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.All Rights Reserved

First There Was You by toriatobin

*Book One in the Every Other Memory Series* Elle Montgomery is a model daughter, student, sister, and friend with everything ahead of her. Her ambitious, A-type personality doesn't leave a lot of room for her to relax, and she struggles to find balance as life becomes more and more complicated. But when she finds herself drawn back to childhood friend and reluctant bad boy Greyson Pruitt, who she's loved longer than she can even remember, life as Elle knows it will never be the same - and neither will she. From the outside looking in, Greyson Pruitt has it all. A one way ticket to division one college hockey and fast track to the NHL, parents who are madly in love (emphasis on madly), and no shortage of girls who are interested in capturing his cautious heart. But no one can see his world crumbling around him as we watches his friend battle a potentially terminal illness, his sister move six thousand miles away, and his parents' unpredictable, rollercoaster relationship fracture. So when the girl he's looked out for all his life sees what no one else can, how is he supposed to say no to what she offers, what he's always wanted? The only thing standing in his way? The fear that his happiness will come at the expense of hers. Stay tuned!

"Nolan..." I say as his lips meet my neck. He gently kisses up and down my neck. "Stop." I say. "You're not my boyfriend, stop acting like it." "Oh kitten." He says while nibbling on my earlobe. I stifle a moan. "When will you realize that you are mine?" // If there is one way to show a boy who's boss, it's to smash them into the boards. Kaelin Summers knows that better than anyone. If there is one way to show a girl who's boss, it's to mess around with her. Nolan Hunter knows that better than anyone.

"I love her." // When neighbours are rival hockey captains with a unknown attraction to each other, it's a recipe for disaster.

But when Nolan Hunter and his two equally hot best friends, Ethan and Axel, come into the picture, things get a little more complicated. All of them have short fuses and bad tempers, and the protectiveness that only someone who belongs to a team can have. Kaelin has to resist his charm. Nolan has to break down her walls. *LOTS OF SWEARING READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Unintended Consequences by eim1993

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
