I’ve spent years alone in the woods.
Apparently, a better place to meet the woman of my dreams is in a dress store.

One glimpse of the beautiful, curvy young woman trying on a green dress sent a wave of lust surging through my veins. I had to buy it and ask her out immediately. I’m known for hiding in my house in the back woods, not dating. And never making over the top gestures like that.

Hanna is different from anyone I’ve ever met. Her perfect lips, her sweet laugh, the way she feels in my arms… she’s everything I hadn’t dared to wish for.

Yet my sweet darlin’ has trouble standing up for herself. She has to tiptoe around her nasty aunt who is also her boss and landlord. Her parents don’t seem to care. She’s all alone in the world.

Not anymore. It’s now my mission to care for Hanna. Sure, it’s too fast. And this possessive side of myself is a surprise to both of us. All that matters is our heat. This passion that burns between us every time my hands wrap around those perfect round hips. Every time her fingers grip the back of my hair when we kiss.

I’ll prove that we belong together, no matter what anyone says, or does, to keep us apart.

Hanna belongs to me now. And I won’t let anyone come between me and my darlin’.

Shoulder tapped by Black Hawke Security to leave my Special Forces role as a Green Beret, I’m working one day when Trina Thomas walks into my life. Sexy, long limbs stride across the road with breathtaking confidence. I fall in love on the spot.

She’s not interested.

But she will be.

Trina has become a delicious challenge. When I learn the sassy stunner doesn’t date men in uniform, I’m unfazed. The chemistry between us is scorching hot, so it’s just a matter of time before she’s moaning my name.

When I’m pulled overseas on a black ops mission, and wounded, her barriers cracks. Before I can capitalize on that, she’s taken from me and I must lean on my fellow paramilitary colleagues.

Once she’s back in my arms, I’m not letting her go.

Will the shadows of her past keep us apart, or am I too late and he’s destroyed her?

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Off Campus series, don’t miss Elle Kennedy’s first hockey romance, now including bonus scenes! More story, more hockey—and more heat!

After a childhood spent being dragged around the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston intends to take some time to figure out her future. Whether that future will include her currently off-again boyfriend remains to be seen. What it certainly won’t include is the for-one-night-only guy she just met at a bar.

It seems hockey star Brody Croft did not get the memo about being temporary. Big, bold and driven, he’s dedicated in everything he does. Up till now, that’s been his team—the one owned by Hayden’s dad. But his night with Hayden has sparked something he didn’t expect. The two of them are good together. Really good. There’s a connection he’s never experienced before, one he knows they’d be wrong to ignore. Even with a game-fixing scandal testing both their loyalties—to teammates, to friends…to family.

Part of Hayden wants to turn tail and run. A complicated relationship with a bad boy hockey player is exactly what she never wanted. But when it comes to Brody, Hayden is realizing that people can be so much more than what they seem.

Trixie

Carter’s not just any Devil Souls MC enforcer; he’s the one who thrives on chaos, a storm wrapped in leather and rage.

He’s rough as hell and crude to his core, the exact kind of danger I should run from. Instead, I can’t help but want to dive headfirst into his darkness.

When his eyes lock on mine, it’s like he sees straight through to my soul. That look is so damn possessive it makes my body burn with desire.

I crave him.

I saved a life, and now everything’s flipped on its head. Someone’s out there trying to make sure I keep my mouth shut.

Carter

Trixie’s the type of person who still believes in people. She’s got hands that reach out to help anyone in need, and she has no idea what that does to a man like me.

I want to protect her, claim every inch of her.

I want every part of her to be mine, fully and completely.

There’s a threat lurking, someone wanting to snuff her out, and I’ll be damned if I let that happen.

No one touches what’s mine. I’m the monster they fear in the dark, and I’m gonna collect their soul as payment for daring to mess with her.

I don’t allow humans in my territory.
I don’t shelter them.
And I sure as hell don’t lose control over them.
Then the cops arrive at my mountain with a terrified woman in the back of an SUV and tell me she needs somewhere to disappear.
One look at Alexandria and my beast knows it:
Mine.
She smells like fear and city rain and temptation. Soft skin. Smart mouth. Big eyes that watch me like she already understands I’m dangerous.
She should hate this place.
The isolation. The cold. My rules.
The way I track every step she takes like my body was built to guard hers.
Instead, she starts sassing me over breakfast, insulting my coffee and borrowing my clothes.
I tell myself this is temporary.
That I’m just keeping her safe until the threat passes.
But the longer Alexandria stays on my mountain, the more certain I become of one thing:
She’s not leaving.
Because once a grizzly shifter falls for a woman,
he doesn’t let her go.


If you love obsessed, possessive grizzly-shifter heroes, a heroine who refuses to be handled, and a mix of danger, tension, and snowbound isolation, you’ll love Gunnar and Alexandria’s story.

Blood. Power. Violence. That’s the world I know.
But the woman I can’t stop thinking about works in my favorite restaurant.
I’ve wanted Sabina for months.
She has no idea how badly I want her.

Then someone takes her.

They made one mistake.

They took the woman I was already determined to have.

Sabina is everything I’m not.
She’s gentle. I’m ruthless.
She’s innocent. I’m anything but.
And now I want her more than ever.

So I’ll find her.
I’ll protect her.
And I’ll make damn sure everyone knows she’s under my protection.

But Sabina has secrets.
