Story
When love, secrets, and family collide, they’ll have to find a way for their sudden marriage to appear believable – for all their sakes. Dustin Lafreniere had a secret: the ultimate power play! He accepted a new contract that came with steep stipulations – marriage. Asking his sister’s friend to fill in as his wife came with a tall order. He wasn’t stepfather material, much less husband material, but he was sure better than nothing. Laurel had no intention of falling for the guy she’d tried so hard to forget – and now he was here, proposing? Wasn’t this every girl’s dream?...

She’s all brains. He’s all brawn. But love doesn’t play by the rules. Jett Acton had it all—fame, fortune, and a front-row seat to every hockey dream come true. But when his team stopped showing up for practice and cut him from the roster, Jett made a bold play to save his skin. Traded jerseys, cities, and chaos for a shot at the Cup—and maybe something more. Karen wasn't looking for love. She had her books, her library job, her deep love of ancient languages and caffeine-fueled crossword puzzles. Sure, her social life was quieter than a study hall, but that was fine... until an ...

They call him Big D because he is. Tall and broad, with muscles so thick and good, all I can think about is getting a grip on his biceps and squeezing. Then there’s the other reason. All the girls talk about it. I’m not sure how everyone knows he’s hung like a horse, but they do. I try not to think about it because he’s a popular football player who everybody knows, and I’m just a work-focused history major who likes to stay mostly invisible at school.
