Theres nothing like the Holidays. And being snowed in with the guy who pretended to be your new boyfriend after you ran into your ex on the way to your family Thanksgivingespecially when hes Jacob Hale, the lumbersnack goalie for the Seattle Revenge.

The holidays, fur babies, and romance come together in this anthology to benefit the fur babies and their families in Florida and North Carolina this fall. Join romance authors of all subgenres as we celebrate how we can come together to help out these communities devastated by the recent natural disasters.

Max Vaughn was the hottest defenseman in the league, but now, hes the Seattle Revenges, the newest expansion team, hottest coach.

When his baby sister fell for his biggest rival and the captain of the Revenge, he nearly lost his temper and his job. But, Sophia, his sisters sexy, and way too young for him, best friend talked him down and saved him. Then they shared one devastatingly hot kiss.

But now? Shes doing everything she can do to tempt him to cross the line hes drawn, then pushing him away. Flirting with his players. Being incredibly sexy sassy, and driving him crazy. Not to mention her damn kitten is determined to plan his demise.

Sophia knows the danger of falling for a hockey player. Been there, done that. Threw away the T-shirt. Flings, sure. But relationships? Nope. And she knows Max Vaughn is the type of guy she could never just have one night with.

She grew up with a mini-hockey team of older and younger brothers and loves the game, the Revenge, and the fans.

Her job as the head of the Venge Hype Team with the Revenge put her best friends older brother, and head coach, in the direct line of vision. The hottest now retired defenseman in the league that she fantasized about before she met him. Even as she tries to stay away, she cant forget the one kiss they shared thats forever seared into her memory.

Workplace romances, especially with a hockey player, retired or not, never work. And dating your best friends brother? Not a good idea.

Can they resist the pull between them, or will their chemistry be so hot it melts the ice?

Power Play Off the Ice. Hockey, romance, and action so hot, it melts the ice!

Getting away from life for the Holidays is just what the doctor ordered. Visiting my Nana in Love Canyon and escaping from the craziness of my life in Chicago isnt at all about the fact that my life is falling apart. Nope. Or the fact that my boyfriend had a different definition of monogamy than I did. Like, the kind that included his ex-wife, the neighbor, and his assistant. Just the desert, my Nanas favorite wine, and the hustle and bustle of Christmas. No men. Even if I like things a little on the wild side.

Maybe a few weeks away from work and away from the girl Ive had a crush on since I was ten will get my head straight before the season starts. Because my best friend is the guy shes with now, and seeing them happy is slowly killing me. But I love that theyve found each other. I just cant be forced to see it every day for a little while. Christmas in Love Canyon is just what I need. No complications, nobody falling in love, and nothing to remind me of what I missed out on.

Deck My Halls is a part of the Naughty Christmas in July shared world.

Spending a few weeks with Rhylan Morgan might be every other girls fantasy, but it wasnt mine. And I had no intention of falling for the country star. I only wanted one thing.

My dream back. Control over my life.

Until he made it clear I wouldnt get what I wanted unless I spent the summer with him in Love Beach, far from the lights and bars of Nashville.

Because he owns me now. My recording contract, that is.

But can I resist the pull of the sexy man who is more under the surface he shows the world. The dangerously attractive singer that makes woman swoon over night after night under the bright lights? Or will the fire burning take us both down in flames?

What happens when a former hockey player doesnt want to fall for the rookie shes convinced her father to call up from the AHL? Especially when hes twelve years younger than her, inexperienced, and the best up-and-coming hockey player shes seen in years?

Chemistry so hot, the ice might melt before they even touch.

But, her heart isnt ready to fall for anyone after her divorce just months before from her husband, the coach from one of the Seattle Revenges fiercest rivals. Can Oliver score a hat trick, or will it be the penalty box for the young rookie? Or will he be able to convince her to give love a chance?
