About the book
A bisexual awakening, a closeted captain, and the NHL expansion team that becomes their found family. Co-captains. Teammates. A slow burn neither of them saw coming.
Ryan "Ash" Asher is the sunshine center who makes every locker room warmer just by showing up. Signed to the Atlanta Firebirds after a divorce he's still pretending didn't break him, he's chasing a fresh start. New city. New team. New ice. He's fine. But from the first phone call with his co-captain, something he can't explain takes hold. Ash has never wanted a man before, and Antero Ikonen is unraveling everything he thought he knew about himself.
Antero "Avi" Ikonen hasn't let anyone close in a decade. Fifteen years closeted in professional hockey. A secret relationship with a teammate that ended on a highlight reel. A trade that felt less like a roster move and more like being thrown away. Avi's job is to lead this expansion team, not fall for the too-warm center who texts at midnight and keeps finding doors in walls Avi didn't know existed.
He falls first. He falls quiet. And he can't stop.
A grumpy-sunshine, slow burn teammates romance about a bisexual awakening, a closeted captain who's been hurt before, and a stray cat at the team facility who knows what he wants before either of them do.

About the book
An MM hockey romance about forbidden love and professional boundaries. A gay Italian-American winger. The bisexual physical therapist who can't cross the line.
Matteo Marchetti is the loudest man on the Atlanta Firebirds and the founder of the team book club. He's narrated every teammate's love story like a personal mission. But his own life is a locked door. He deflects with comedy, and nobody on this roster has ever looked underneath.
Isaiah "Zay" Brooks is the physical therapist for the Atlanta Firebirds expansion team. Out, settled, rooted in Atlanta's queer community. He has professional boundaries he's never crossed. Dating a patient on the NHL team that employs him is not something his career could survive.
A shoulder injury puts Marchetti on Zay's treatment table three mornings a week. The loudest man in hockey goes quiet under Zay's hands. And the man underneath the jokes is someone Zay's professional code says he cannot want.
A slow burn teammates romance about a sports injury that breaks down every wall, a physical therapist who knows better, and a locker room book club that has read this exact plot before and is narrating it in the group chat in real time.

About the book
Can your favorite hockey players finish their first season together undefeated?
Five months in, NHL forward Ryan Wesley is having a record-breaking rookie season. He’s living his dream of playing pro hockey and coming home every night to the man he loves—Jamie Canning, his longtime best friend turned boyfriend. There’s just one problem: the most important relationship of his life is one he needs to keep hidden, or else face a media storm that will eclipse his success on the ice.
Jamie loves Wes. He really, truly does. But hiding sucks. It’s not the life Jamie envisioned for himself, and the strain of keeping their secret is taking its toll. It doesn’t help that his new job isn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped, but he knows he can power through it as long as he has Wes. At least apartment 10B is their retreat, where they can always be themselves.
Or can they? When Wes’s nosiest teammate moves in upstairs, the threads of their carefully woven lie begin to unravel. With the outside world determined to take its best shot at them, can Wes and Jamie develop major-league relationship skills on the fly?
Warning: contains sexual situations, a vibrating chair, long-distance sexytimes and proof that hockey players look hot in any shade of green.

About the book
A brand-new standalone novel in the New York Times bestselling Briar U series!
What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.
But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.
Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.
And she’s making a play for me.
Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.
Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body—and my heart.

Runaway Bride and Prejudice
Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Runaway Bride and Prejudice starts with a cheating groom, a ruined wedding, and the hockey bad boy who makes the worst possible moment even messier. Van knows better than to get involved with the coach’s daughter, but one runaway trip and one secret bargain blur every line he planned to keep. This closed-door sports romcom leans into forced proximity, forbidden feelings, and sweet romantic fallout.
Choose your retailer
About the book
There's one rule smart hockey players know not to break: never, and I mean, NEVER date the coach's daughter. But no one ever accused Van of being smart.
When the mouthy bad boy of the Appies catches the groom cheating on the coach's daughter, he can't just walk away. Not on her wedding day.
Maybe his own relationships are casual, but he would never cheat and never treat wedding vows so carelessly. Not after he and his sisters watched their divorced parents cycle through marriage after marriage.
But forcing the groom to come clean sets off a chain reaction Van couldn't have expected.
Ending with a black eye, an unexpected trip to Florida with one runaway bride, and a secret bargain struck with Coach.
A bargain that may just jeopardize the very real and very inconvenient feelings he's developing for the very last person he ever should.
Runaway Bride and Prejudice is a closed door hockey romance featuring the team bad boy and a very good girl who also happens to be the coach's daughter. It's a sports romance with all the sizzle and swoon, but no spice.
This is part of the Appies hockey romance series, featuring Just Don't Fall, Absolutely Not in Love, a Groom of One's Own, and Romancing the Grump. These books are standalones but may be best read in order.

Our take
Grumpily Ever After turns a wedding disaster waiting to happen into a guarded second-chance romance with cider, family pressure, and stubborn hearts. Odette needs one ceremony to finally go right, while Noah wants to keep love, optimism, and everyone else at a safe distance. Their clash gives this rom-com its grumpy-sunshine spark, with heat, tenderness, and emotional risk beneath the banter.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An obstinate ex–NHL player meets his match in a cheerfully resilient wedding planner prone to chaos in this sweet and spicy romantic comedy about game-changing second chances.
Wedding planner Odette Chambers has a knack for ruining every ceremony she touches. But her latest gig could be a curse breaker. The bride is her best friend, Izzy, and the venue is a local cidery with the Pacific Northwest mountains as a beautiful backdrop. The cidery’s only rotten apple is its owner, former NHL player Noah Stevens—Izzy’s older brother and a recently divorced, fully committed grump who doesn’t believe in happy endings.
But Noah can’t say no to his hopeful little sister. His decision sends Odette barreling into his life, and she insists on making picture-perfect renovations to his cidery. She’s demanding, irritatingly optimistic, and quite possibly the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. Noah is turning Odette’s head, too, but if she wants a wedding to finally go off without a hitch, he’s a handsome distraction she can’t afford. Right?
As Noah risks a second chance at love, Odette’s luck might change as well. For better or for worse.

Good Pucking Luck
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Good Pucking Luck begins with a public heartbreak, then turns one viral disaster into a no-strings arrangement that refuses to stay simple. After a failed hockey-game proposal makes Hayes internet-famous for all the wrong reasons, he swears off relationships and agrees to keep things casual with pro player Rylan. This MM hockey romance blends second-chance vulnerability, physical chemistry, and the risk of trusting a heart labeled off-limits.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Good Pucking Luck is a fun, low-angst MM hockey romance with great chemistry and likable characters. Hayes and Rylan play off each other really well, even if the relationship feels a little too easy at times." - Apropos Books
Hayes
Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape.
One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.
Rylan
After a night with Hayes, I play some of the best games of my career. It’s meant to be a one-and-done deal, but when I find out he also lives in LA and doesn’t want anything serious, I see an opportunity.
Hayes wants experience. I want my good-luck charm to help me win the cup.
The media would go wild over a pro hockey player dating a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club—a distraction neither of us needs. We want this to stay simple. Easy. No strings, no falling in love.
Except I’m pretty sure I’ve already fallen. After all Hayes has been through, how do I get him to entrust his heart to someone who’s only ever been labeled a player on and off the ice?

Playing Dirty
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Playing Dirty turns a college rivalry into forbidden attraction when two baseball enemies become stepbrothers under the same roof. Madden Hastings has always been his nemesis, but their blended family forces old hostility into close quarters, where resentment starts to look dangerously like chemistry. This MM sports romance leans into rivalry, loyalty, and the messy line between hating someone and wanting them.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Playing Dirty was a fun, satisfying, and entertaining four-star read with great forbidden stepbrother tension, playful enemies-to-lovers banter, and chemistry that felt natural instead of forced. The rivalry felt more like flirting foreplay than overblown drama, and that worked so well." - Apropos Books
Our rivalry formed long before we became siblings.
Madden Hastings has been my nemesis since the day we met.
A divide was born from the age-old rivalry between our universities,
but this year, another layer developed. It became personal.
Because the captain of Blackmore’s baseball team?
He’s also my new step brother.
My disdain for the sudden blending of our families leads to more conflict,
and despite their efforts to force us together, coexisting proves impossible.
But something else starts burning beneath my bitterness and resentment;
an attraction as unexpected as it is potent.
And when the chemistry becomes too powerful to deny,
our already complicated relationship gets even messier.
Because a forbidden fling is one thing, but falling for the enemy?
It forces me into a choice I never wanted to make.
One between loyalty to my team, or the love of my life.
*Playing Dirty is the fourth in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two rivalry-fueled step brothers, a cut-throat game of capture the flag, and sexual tension that oozes off the page. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Leaving everything behind to move to England was difficult enough, but when I catch the attention of Alstone High’s bad boy for all the wrong reasons, things go from bad to worse.

He’s figured out my secret.

But I can see right through Kian Courtland, and I’ve figured something out. Something that he won’t even admit to himself.
His secret?
He wants me, too.

The Rivalry

The Rivalry turns college football loyalty into the obstacle between attraction and commitment. She knows the star tight end has the charm, confidence, and chemistry to pull her in, but his team represents everything she was raised to hate. This sports romance fits readers who want rivalry-driven tension, forbidden attraction, and a relationship tested by identity, pride, and divided loyalties.

About the book
This tight end is at the top of his game.
He’s good with his hands, even better with his sexy mouth, and the best at making me forget my own name. His—ahem—stats are perfect.
But I can’t fall for him.
He might be everything I want, all rolled into a glorious package of gridiron god, but there’s one teeny-tiny problem. The vile, loathsome team I’ve spent my entire life hating—my beloved school’s arch-rival?
This guy is their star player.

About the book
Spicy Sports Romance collaboration between bestselling authors Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway!
How can someone so smokin’ hot be so bad in bed? I mean, Sean Cassidy is absolute rubbish. RUBBISH. He is the epitome of walking, talking false advertising and I want a refund! Plus he’s an arsehole. So… what is wrong with me that I can’t stop thinking about him?
THE PIXIE
Lucy Fitzpatrick doesn’t like rugby. As the little sister of Ireland’s most infamous rugby player, Lucy can’t seem to escape the championship-sized shadow cast by her big brother, or her mother’s frequent attempts to micromanage her future. Her rainbow hair is as free-spirited as her quest for inner peace, yet overbearing expectations keep bringing her down. And when she’s down, her compulsive little problem lands her in seriously big trouble.
THE PLAYER
Sean Cassidy is a cold-hearted brute… or so he’s been told. Frequently. By everyone. His blonde locks, baby blues, and rock hard bod make ladies the world over drool with desire. As the rugby world’s second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success. But Sean has never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with Lucy’s big brother leave him cold. And when he’s cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in the lap of Lucy Fitzpatrick.
THE PLAN
Sean has a problem only Lucy can solve. Lucy has a problem only Sean can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and I’ll bail you out of jail. But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves Sean scorching hot and Lucy on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the world—and Lucy’s big brother in particular—that this is the real deal? Either way, both the Player and the Pixie are about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.
The Pixie and the Player is a full-length, romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the second book in the Rugby Series.

About the book
Since Pro basketball player Ty “Pretty Boy” Washington picked up a basketball, he’s only ever wanted one thing: to make it to the pro league and win championships. As the number one pick in the draft, he defies the odds in his rookie year by beating the record of one of the greatest players in the league, Sid “The Wonder Kid” King.
For years, Ty has looked forward to playing in the same league as Sid, the epitome of success. What he doesn’t expect is their intense chemistry or how Sid is the only person who can see that he’s barely hanging on.
At the top of his game, Sid is well on his way to becoming a legend. Voted the Sexiest Man Alive with a reputation as a ladies’ man, he seems to have it all. When he sees for the first time the undeniably talented rookie with soulful yet sad eyes, long-buried feelings surface.
Loving the Legend is book 1 in the MM sports romance Chasing Rings series. Each book ends with a HEA, can be read as a stand-alone, and features a new couple. Themes include two MCs from rival teams turned lovers, grief/trauma, hurt/comfort, hidden relationships, possessiveness, found family, and more. Both MCs are consenting adults.
