In Marrowick ist Eishockey nicht nur ein Spiel. Es bedeutet Familie, Zuhause und Identität. Und für Noah Harleytone, der Captain der Marrowick Wolves, ist es das, was ihn zusammenhält wie die Luft zum Atmen. Und manchmal droht er daran zu ersticken. Druck und Leistung. Leidenschaft und Freude. Auf dem Eis gibt es für Noah keine Zweifel. Nur Fehler, Regeln und Punkte. Außerhalb des Spiels schon. Penelope Vernam will jedem helfen, dabei vergisst sie oft, dass auch sie Hilfe brauchen darf. Sie vergöttert weder Eishockey noch ihn. Im Gegenteil. Sie hasst, wofür er steht und sie hasst, dass die beiden sich trotzdem immer wieder über den Weg laufen. Vielleicht soll es so sein. Spiele kann Noah kontrollieren. Seine Gefühle zu Penelope nicht. Zwischen Kindergeburtstagen, Runden auf dem Eis und Schokobretzeln beginnt etwas, das keiner von ihnen geplant hat - aber vielleicht genau das ist, was sie nicht mehr ignorieren können.

Ein Klick. Das war alles, was nötig war, um Laras (19) perfekt geordnete Welt in Scherzen zerbrechen zu lassen. Gefangen im Sucher ihrer Kamera muss die angehende Fotografie-Studentin mitansehen, wie ihr Freund Noah sie für ihre ehemals beste Freundin eiskalt serviert. Gedemütigt und mit gebrochenem Herzen flüchtet Lara in die dunklen Gassen des berüchtigtsten Underground-Clubs der Stadt - und knallt direkt gegen die wandelnde Definition von Ärger. Jax (23). Sturmgraue Augen, tätowierte Arme, ein arrogantes Grinsen und ein verdammt schmutziges Shirt, auf dem gerade Laras Drink gelandet ist. Er ist der unnahbare Barkeeper der Szene, fährt Motorrad und bricht Regeln aus Prinzip. Doch er teilt eine Sache mit Lara: Den absoluten Hass auf Noah. Jax bietet ihr einen Deal an, den sie eigentlich sofort ablehnen müsste: Fake-Dating. Sie spielen das perfekte, frisch verliebte Paar, um Noah vor Eifersucht in den Wahnsinn zu treiben. Die Regeln sind verdammt einfach: Keine Fragen über die Vergangenheit. Berührungen gibt es nur für die Show. Wer sich verliebt, verliert. Doch je öfter Jax sie auf seinem Motorrad von der Uni abholt und je näher sie sich vor den Augen der anderen kommen müssen, desto mehr verschwimmen die Linien. Als aus einem gefälschten Kuss im Neonlicht plötzlich echte Funken sprühen, merkt Lara, dass sie die Kontrolle verliert. Denn durch ihre Kameralinse sieht sie plötzlich nicht mehr nur den gefährlichen Bad Boy - sondern den Mann, der ihr Herz viel schneller gefährlich werden lässt, als Noah es je konnte.

It all started with a kiss... CALLUM SLADE had only known one thing: hockey. That's until he met her. Always in pink and spreading sunshine, Kate Blake brings all his walls down, just with a smile. Yet as much as he'd want her, he know he can't have her. She's his enemy's sister. His greatest temptation. Yet after a surprising first kiss, Callum knows there is no way he can walk away from her. No matter how hard chasing her could get. As the sister of their school's basketball captain, one thing has always been clear for KATE BLAKE: the other sports teams are off-limits. Yet after she finds herself kissing the hockey captain on the kiss cam, Kate starts rethinking that. Sure, Callum is her brother's enemy and one of the most wanted guys at school, but she can't help feeling butterflies whenever he is around. And the more time she spends with him, the more she realises: Just one kiss might not be enough. Book #1 of the 'hearts' series

"Burning Ice" is a sports romance that dives deep into obsession, passion, and the clash of two very different worlds. Billie Carter, 23, has learned to survive on her own terms. After a tough upbringing, she's built a life for herself, working as a dancer to make ends meet.

A grumpy, ruthless pro hockey player, Nate is a man haunted by his past, and when his teammates drag him to a strip club to get his mind off life, he's not prepared for the fire that is Billie. Their connection is immediate, though neither of them is ready to admit it. As Nate's obsession with Billie grows, he'll do anything to claim her-but Billie's not easy to control. As they navigate the heat between them, both will have to confront their darkest secrets and decide how far they're willing to go for love-and for power.

Please keep that in mind and enjoy the journey**
