Did I want to get married today? It's hard to say when he proposed in front of more than a hundred people. Everything happened so fast, and I thought it was just nerves. It was not. The knock on the door showed me that what I was feeling was more than just cold feet. I was a runaway bride.

Being traded after fighting with your coach on air isn’t exactly a good look. With one mistake under my belt, I knew I needed to focus on the game and nothing else. But everything changed when I went to pick up my niece and came face-to-face with my very pregnant one-night stand from six months ago.

As captain of the Dallas Oilers, I was their leader on and off the ice. From the outside, it looked like I had the perfect life. I didn’t. I was married to a woman who refused to give me a divorce. All she wanted was the status title, and all I wanted was to be set free. It was supposed to be just another event, except it took a turn I didn’t see coming.

Finding my teammate in bed with my wife made the decision I had been fighting with for years easier. It’s time to move on. A fresh start and a new NHL team in a big city. Most importantly, it’s my son Jack’s best shot. It would be both of our best shots.

Noah: I have it all - money, looks, and any woman I want. Till I meet her and my universe is knocked on its ass and she wants nothing to do with me. Kaleigh: My motto: never date the same man twice. I have less chance of breaking my heart that way. Till my eyes land on the only man I'll break my rule for. She thinks she can run. That I'll let her get away. He thinks he can handle a woman like me. He has no idea. A man who has it all needs one thing and one thing only. A temptress.

When you find out that your fiancé is arrested for swindling more than 10 million dollars from his clients, you do what any sane woman would do. You escape reality and go undercover, trading in your city-girl Louboutins for country-pumpkin cowboy boots. It wasn't a forever change - it was temporary. I only had to stay here until things back home got straightened out, or so I thought.

All my life I've said I will never date a hockey player. I know better because I've seen and lived it all. My father is a hockey god, my brother is the captain of the most successful NHL team in the world, and my brother-in-law also plays in the league. Their lives are complicated, so I went in the opposite direction. I fell in love with a scholar. But instead of proposing marriage, he broke up with me.

CrystalI was the strong one, they said, until two words brought me to my knees. It was a secret I didn't share with anyone, a secret that made me promise I'd never fall in love. I no longer wanted that white picket fence of every woman's dreams. But then the unthinkable happened. GabeI thought I had it all with the best medical practice in the state and the woman of my dreams. I wore a smile on my face every single day. I couldn't wait to watch her walk down the aisle and start our forever, except she never did. My runaway bride made me realize love isn't worth it.

Everyone expected me to play hockey. I was good at it, but I was better at being a doctor. So I hung up the skates and joined Doctors Without Borders. But there is no place like home, so now I’m back. And instead of being on the ice, I’m behind the bench as the team physician. After years of playing cat and mouse, it’s time to admit it. She’s mine.

Coming back home was supposed to be normal - not that my life had ever been normal, but it was getting there. Then I opened the door and found a man, broken, bloodied, and fighting for his life. I don’t know why, but I said I would take care of him. I had to - needed to. He was a mystery, showing up from out of nowhere. But he might have already stolen my heart.

Becoming a teen mom at 16 was not what I expected, but then again, neither was being a single parent. Still, I wouldn't change my past because that boy is my world. Hockey is the only thing my son seems to care about, so I work two jobs to make sure he can play. I'd do anything to make sure he doesn't suffer because of the bad decisions his father made. When he won a whole summer of hockey training, I knew in my heart he was going to have an amazing time.

Samantha...I had the perfect life; a husband who loved me and two kids who were my world. But then someone else answered his phone, and my perfect life shattered. When he died, I was left with answers he couldn't give me and a box full of lies. He left me broken. Blake...I fell in love when I was 15, knowing she was the one. For five years, she was my everything - my every breath, every heartbeat, every thought. She made me promise to move on and love again, but I broke those promises because I can't move on.

Marissa: I didn't want this life. But sometimes you're forced to make the best of the crappy hand you've been dealt. I wanted to teach my daughter that. No matter what happens you face your problems head-on. Never cower. Never give up. Then someone took her and I had to put my faith in a system that had failed me, and my hope in a man I didn't know.

An Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, a Grammy - Kellie has them all. She's the most sought-after woman in Hollywood. She's about to leave on the biggest concert tour of her life. Headlining for the first time in five years. Around the world in 90 days. Should be a piece of cake. Until her new security detail walks in the room, and she’s looking into the eyes of the only man who didn’t fall for her charm. It's only a matter of time till he falls for Hollywood's princess.

Mit dem Schritt in die NHL nach Dallas ging für mich ein Traum in Erfüllung. Ich hatte alles, was ich wollte: Eine erfolgreiche Eishockey-Karriere, eine liebevolle Ehefrau, das erste Kind auf dem Weg. Was sollte schiefgehen? Stellt sich heraus, alles.

Ich bin Kapitän des NHL-Teams Dallas Oilers. Mit dem Privileg kommen Verpflichtungen. Ich bin ihr Anführer - auf und neben dem Eis. Von außen sieht es sicher so aus, als hätte ich das perfekte Leben. Weit gefehlt. Meine Ehefrau weigert sich, der Scheidung zuzustimmen. Sie will Status und Ruhm, ich will einfach nur frei sein. Es sollte nur ein normaler Abend mit Sponsoren und Mitspielern sein. Doch dann kam alles anders.

Esperaba que mi asistente fuese profesional y puntual, pero lo único que recibo son miradas fulminantes y comentarios fuera de tono. Debería despedirla, y, sin embargo, lo único en lo que puedo pensar es en recostarla sobre mi escritorio y romper todas las reglas que yo mismo me he impuesto con mis subordinadas.

Sie nennen ihn den begehrtesten Junggesellen der NHL: Miller Adams. Da liegt es auf der Hand, dass er ein Date für den wohltätigen Zweck versteigert. Was hat er zu verlieren? Im schlimmsten Fall verbringt er einen Abend mit einem Fan. Im besten Fall ist sie heiß. Dass seine Traumfrau das höchste Gebot abgibt, ist ... unerwartet. Seit Jahren lässt die Sportreporterin Layla ihn abblitzen, doch jetzt bekommt er endlich eine Chance. Heiß, gefühlvoll und aufregend - das ist die neue Serie von USA TODAY Bestsellerautorin Natasha Madison über die Stars des Eishockey-Teams in Dallas.

Elle, n’était pas prête à faire la rencontre de quelqu’un et encore moins à craquer pour le nouveau coach de son fils. Lui, est prêt à prouver à tout le monde qu’ils sont faits l’un pour l’autre. Caroline: Je ne m’attendais pas à devenir mère célibataire à seize ans. Mais je ne changerais mon passé pour rien au monde, parce que ce petit garçon est tout pour moi. Comme mon fils ne s’intéresse qu’au hockey, je cumule deux boulots pour m’assurer qu’il puisse y jouer. Je serais prête à tout pour qu’il n’ait pas à souffrir des mauvaises décisions de son père.

Elle s’est promis de ne plus jamais tomber amoureuse. Lui, il recherche la femme de sa vie. Mais après tout, on dit bien que les opposés s’attirent. Vivienne: Ne jamais tomber amoureuse. C’est ma devise, et je m’y suis toujours tenue. Avoir le cœur brisé une fois m’a suffi, je ne veux plus jamais revivre cette expérience. Il était censé n’être qu’un coup d’un soir, parce que c’est tout ce que je m’autorise. Cette simple règle ne devrait pas être aussi dure à suivre, mais je suis retournée le voir une deuxième fois, puis une troisième.
