I hold several titles: NHL Calgary Team Owner, McClaren Empire Heir, and Insatiable Playboy.

My friends believe I’m more likely to walk on the moon than hold down a monogamous relationship, and that’s never bothered me…

Until now.

Call me cocky, but I don’t like being told I can’t do something. So when my best friend throws down a high-stakes bet stating I can’t stay in a serious relationship for three months, I lie and tell him I’m already in one.

Not my most brilliant move.

In an effort to prove everyone wrong, I approach the first woman I see and offer her ten thousand to be my girlfriend for thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes turns into a negotiation for three months, and to my utter surprise, Aspen is more than willing to play the part. She needs the cash to take care of her sister’s college fees, so it’s a win-win for both of us.

Aspen is funny, smart, and humble to her core. She plays her role as my girlfriend almost too well, and soon I find myself wanting to spend time with her even when the public isn’t watching.

The lines between pretend and reality blur, and one steamy night with my fake girlfriend turns my entire world on its axis. We started this relationship under false pretenses and with a hefty price tag, but soon I’m willing to risk everything to make it real.

But Aspen’s history is complicated, and just when I think there’s hope for the future, it nearly shatters everything. To keep her in my life forever, I’ll have to prove to her that nothing will come between us—not money, fame, or our pasts.

I’ve just been drafted onto the one NHL franchise that never should’ve been: the Bangor Badgers.

The team is on the cusp of failure and the only thing lower than their number of wins last season is their ticket sales. But thanks to me, that’s all about to change. Nothing will stand in my way of turning us into a winning team…

Until a stranger who gives me the hottest kiss of my life turns out to be my new skate coach.

Blakely Wren is gorgeous, funny, and brilliant on the ice. Her figure skating days have made her a perfect asset for the Badgers, and her take-no-prisoners attitude has me signing up for more lessons than necessary.

Things heat up between us the more time we spend on the ice, and soon it’s not just the Stanley Cup I want to win this season—it’s her heart.

Only problem?

She’s completely off-limits and has a toxic past that’s made her wary of all things relationship. She’s hiding something too, and her secret is big enough to put both our jobs on the line.

And in the end, I’ll have to choose—the girl of my dreams or the career I’ve worked my entire life for.

As the leader of the immortal hunters, I'm no stranger to making tough decisions.

The hardest of which was going into stasis to save the world centuries ago—and losing my mate in the process.

Upon awaking in present day, I was told my mate died years ago.

The news crushed me, but the war we're fighting is too important to forfeit my life…right now.

I function on autopilot despite the support of my hunter brothers, taking life one night at a time until we can end this war and I can return to the once-dark sleep that claimed me.

But on a solo hunt, I almost meet death much sooner than planned. Overrun by bloodmad vampires, I'm saved by another hunter on their trail…no, a huntress.

My mate.

I am and have been many things: owner of the Charleston Cougars, CFO of Maxfield Corp, and ex-Chicago mafia prince. One thing I was certain I'd never be called?

Husband.

But that was before the Irish mafia princess Serenity O'Brien showed up outside my door, calling in one of my favors.

Her prick of a father was about to sell her off to an allying family like a broodmare, and she wants me to help make her unsellable by stealing her prized virginity.

I can't do that to her.

So I offer to marry her instead.

The solution is a temporary fix to her problem, and at least with me, I know she'll be safe.

I vow not to touch her, but she has other plans.

As an immortal, elite hunter with the ability to shift into any animal I like, I'm an expert at sneaking around.

But I never thought I'd have to pose as her pet.

Cassandra Zorin is the elegant, sexy, vampire daughter of a traitor. She's as trustworthy as a pit viper, despite her claims of innocence. And when the king orders me to pose as her beloved pet panther while she infiltrates her heavily warded family estate, I can't say no—even though I think we're as likely to kill each other as our enemies.

Spending every waking minute with her has my hackles rising, among other things I can't help it. She's gorgeous, with a sharp tongue and an even sharper set of fangs that I can't stop thinking about. The more I learn about who she is beneath the polished, noble mask, the more I realize she's nothing like I assumed.
