Рут Стиллинг — новинки

Getting drafted to a losing team was bad enough. Falling for her could end me … I’m supposed to be the NHL’s next poster boy. Not the guy the draft screws over. Or the headline waiting to happen. And definitely not the new face of the Seattle Rogues—the league’s latest expansion team, who loses on repeat. But here I am. Just like my Hall of Famer dad, I’ve got the talent, looks, and dedication to be the next big thing in pro hockey … but keeping my mouth shut is proving to be a problem. Even worse, my new team has assigned a high-flying publicist to keep watch over me since I’m a loose cannon on social media and unable to…

Однажды укушенный, дважды осторожен… Это мой жизненный принцип, чтобы никто больше не смог причинить мне боль так, как это сделали мои родители. Меня зовут Томми Шнайдер – самый грозный игрок НХЛ, и фамилия у меня под стать репутации плохого парня. Только я улучшенная версия своего отчуждённого отца: сильнее, быстрее, лучше. В своей жизни я контролирую всё с хирургической точностью – от ударов, которые наношу в драках, до татуировок, покрывающих моё тело. Ничто и никто не может взять надо мной верх. Я непроницаем, стальная стена, такая же холодная, как и непрозрачная. Поэтому, когда мой обмен в «Нью-Йорк Blades» вызывает споры, можно…

How to complicate your rookie season in the NHL: fake date your former college rival and now teammate’s ex-girlfriend. It’s a bad idea, and I know it, especially since Kendra Hart has had a hold over me since our freshman year of college. She has no idea how I feel, and I have zero control over my mouth when her life goes up in smoke and she needs a friend, along with a place to stay. My coach, who also happens to be my stepdad, is warning me to stay away not only for the team's sake but to spare me from getting hurt. I should probably listen to his advice. However, taking the simple route has never been my thing. And with every…

She can’t stand me. She also thinks she’s got me all worked out. My Princess is determined to stay as far away from me as possible. Eighteen months ago, she wanted me, but now she’s convinced I’m bad news. The thing is, an attraction like ours doesn’t just fade, and my need for her has only grown stronger no matter how many times she offers me a scowl instead of her beautiful smile. We’ve been playing a game of cat and mouse since the day she wore my jersey, and fortunately for her, I love the chase. I love to watch the way her body reacts to mine. I’d fall to my knees in front of her if I didn’t think she’d kick me while I’m…

After the way she broke me, I’ve made one promise to myself: never again will I put my heart out there. Apparently she loved me, but that still didn’t stop her from doing what she did and frankly, I’m done with relationships, and I’m done with searching for love when it has no interest in finding me. After the hit I took last season, I plan to focus on rehabilitation and getting my mind back into the game I’ve loved for so many years. I don’t need distractions, and I don’t need another woman in my bed or my head. I’ve got enough complications to last me a lifetime. But I didn’t expect her sunshine, and I wasn’t prepared for the way Luna…

My whole life I’ve come out on top. One of the finest players ever to grace the NHL? Check. Most prolific playboy with an enviable reputation between the sheets? Check. Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also check, and well deserved I’d say. So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won’t the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously? She doesn’t even recognize me, let alone worship the ground I walk on. I’m in uncharted territory, tearing up my rule book and unearthing buried demons in my pursuit of her affection. I…

Как усложнить свой дебютный сезон в НХЛ: фальшивые свидания с бывшей девушкой соперника по университету, по совместительству, товарища по команде. Это плохая идея, и я это знаю, особенно с тех пор, как Кендра Харт овладела мной с первого курса университета. Она понятия не имеет, что я чувствую, а я не могу контролировать свой рот, когда её жизнь идёт к чертям, и ей нужен друг и место для проживания. Мой тренер, который по совместительству является моим отчимом, предупреждает меня, чтобы я держался подальше не только ради команды, но и чтобы уберечь себя. Наверное, мне стоит прислушаться к его совету. Однако, я никогда не выбирал…
