Rozando el cielo

Rozando el cielo | La ciudad de los vientos #1 | Liz Tomforde | Montena

ZANDERS

El hockey en Chicago no sería nada sin mí; la multitud necesita alguien a quien odiar. Sé cuál es mi papel, y lo represento a la perfección. De hecho, me encanta pasar la mayor parte del partido amonestado en el banquillo para luego dejar el estadio con una chica distinta cada noche... o eso es lo que quiero que piense la prensa.

Lo que no me gusta es la nueva azafata del avión privado del equipo. Ella trabaja para mí, no al revés. Pero me aseguraré de recordárselo, y para cuando termine la temporada deseará no haber aceptado el puesto.

Pero en cada vuelo estoy más confundido, y ya no logro distinguir si sigo pulsando el botón de llamada para fastidiarla o es que hay algo más.

STEVIE

Hace años que soy auxiliar de vuelo. Pensaba que lo había visto todo, pero cuando entro a trabajar para la superestrella más ególatra y arrogante de la Liga Nacional de Hockey, empiezo a replanteármelo todo. Especialmente la promesa que me hice a mí misma de no volver a tirarme a un deportista jamás... por mucho que me atraiga.

Evan Zanders no tiene filtro ni complejos, y se tiene demasiado creído lo bueno que está. Adora la imagen que proyecta, pero yo detesto todo de ella.

Todo... menos a él.

The Sunshine Court

The Sunshine Court | All For the Game #4 | Nora Sakavic
My name is Jean Moreau. My place is at Evermore. I belong to the Moriyamas.

It is a truth Jean has built his life around, a reminder this is the best he can hope for and all he deserves. But when he is stolen from Edgar Allan University and sold to a more dangerous master, Jean is forced to contend with a life outside of the Nest for the first time in five years. The Foxes call his transfer to California a fresh start; Jean knows it is little more than a golden cage.

Captain Jeremy Knox is facing his final year with the USC Trojans and fifth straight year falling short of the championships trophy he desperately craves. Taking in the nation’s best defenseman is a no-brainer, even if that man is a Raven. But Jean is no monster, just a man with no hope or desire for a future, and when Evermore's collapse starts dragging Jean's hideous secrets to light, Jeremy is forced to contend with the cost of victory.

Trick Play

Trick Play | Fake Boyfriend #2 | Eden Finley
Matt
Want to know the fastest way to get screwed out of a football career? Get photographed in a compromising position in a gay bar. Yep, welcome to my life.
My agent says he can fix my image. He wants me to become the poster boy for gay football players. Me? I just want back on the field. I’ll do anything to play for the NFL again, even pretend to have a steady boyfriend. If only my fake boyfriend wasn’t Noah Huntington III—the most arrogant, entitled rich guy in the world.

Noah
Pretend to be Matt Jackson’s boyfriend, my best friend said. It’ll be fun, he said. What Damon neglected to mention is Matt is surly and bitter. Being his boyfriend is a job in itself. From his paranoia over being constantly photographed to his aversion to PDA, being with Matt isn’t the care-free fake relationship I expected when I signed on to do this.
It’s supposed to be a win-win. I get to stick it to my politician dad who thinks no one is good enough for the Huntington name, and Matt’s reputation of being the bad boy of football dies.
What I don’t expect is to start caring for the guy. That’s not part of the plan. Then again, neither is fooling around with him.
Oops.

Fake Out

Fake Out | Fake Boyfriends #1 | Eden Finley

MADDOX
The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I’m a liar.
When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire.
Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend—the boyfriend who doesn’t exist because I’m straight.
At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I’m bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.

DAMON
When my sister asks me to pretend to be some straight guy’s boyfriend, my automatic response is to say no. It’s because of guys like him people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m gay.
But Maddox has something I need.
After an injury that cost me my baseball career, I’m trying to leave my playing days behind and focus on being the best sports agent I can be. Forty-eight hours with my sister’s best friend in exchange for a meeting with a possible client. I can do this.
I just wish he wasn’t so hot. Or that he didn’t kiss like he means it.
Wait … why is the straight guy kissing me?

Las reglas del juego

Las relgas del juego | Sarah Adams | Ediciones B

Bree Camden está perdida y secretamente enamorada de su mejor amigo (y también estrella de fútbol americano) Nathan Donelson. Pero ese no es el único problema que tiene. Después de un accidente que pone fin a su sueño de ser bailarina, Bree se dedica a llevar su propia escuela de danza… mientras pueda pagar el alquiler, claro.

Cuando Nathan acude al rescate y compra el edificio en el que se encuentra su negocio, la orgullosa Bree no se lo toma del todo bien. Tras un par (bueno, quizá más) de chupitos de tequila, se va de la lengua delante de una periodista y el mundo entero termina creyendo que ella y Nathan están destinados. Con la superbowl a la vuelta de la esquina, estos dos «nada más que amigos» se ven obligados a fingir una relación ante las cámaras durante tres semanas. Tres semanas enteras.

¿Habrá llegado el momento de que Bree revele sus sentimientos?

Y… ¿podría Nathan estar ocultando los suyos también?

Playing games

Playing Games | Franklin U #1 | Riley Hart

Brax
Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and God’s gift to the female and male population, there’s nothing the spoiled jock can’t have.
It’s impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secret… As much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what he’ll say next.
I’ve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to make it through college and escape my past, he’s a distraction I don’t need.


Ty
Braxton Walker needs to learn to lighten up. If you search brooding online, his name pops up. He’s the bad boy with a leather jacket and a scowl. We couldn’t be more different.
Finding ways to annoy him is like the longest foreplay session of my life. And when we end up working together, it gets harder to deny how hot he makes me.
What’s a little hooking up between enemies?
We weren’t supposed to become friends or share secrets. We weren’t supposed to understand each other and all the complicated stuff we’re going through.
I’m used to playing games, only the more time I spend with Brax, the less it feels like playing around and the more it becomes something real.

ECM es la escuela que eliminó a Kings Row del campeonato estatal el año anterior.

Escuela de esgrima. Vol 3

Escuela de esgrima - Volumen 3 | Fence | CS Pacat & Joahnna the Mad | MAB Graphic



El esgrimista Nicholas Cox llega al final de su camino y es hora de demostrar que, a pesar de que su padre nunca lo conoció, es más que un esgrimista digno. Nicholas debe demostrar su destreza y valía ante los estudiantes de último año y, por si fuera poco, frente al prodigioso (y desagradable) Seiji Katayama.
El ambiente está al rojo vivo cuando Nicholas y Seiji finalmente se enfrentan en las pistas de esgrima de Kings Row. Es un duelo que cambiará a la escuela (¡y a ellos dos!) para siempre, y allanará el terreno al equipo mientras se prepara para enfrentarse a sus acérrimos rivales y demostrar su valía de una vez por todas.

Adam Collins, the star quarterback for the Razorbacks, has a secret. The world knows him as a skirt-chasing ladies' man, but that's all a lie. Adam is gay. He's been hiding his desires for years, afraid that admitting the truth will disrupt the team and end his career. But when Adam is targeted by a vindictive fan, the team owner assigns a hot, alpha bodyguard to protect him—whether Adam wants it or not. Dyson Drake is big, tough, and professional...and he loves men. Having the gruff bodyguard protecting him day in and day out makes it impossible for Adam to control his desire. But with desire comes risks. And Adam soon learns his secret is not safe. He's facing the most difficult choice of his life—secrecy or desires—and the clock is running out.
Dyson Drake excels at being a badass, no-nonsense bodyguard. He's been hired to protect Adam, and that's not going to be easy. Not only is some crazy fan sending him threatening letters, but Adam has just broken up with one of the team's cheerleaders, causing all kinds of headaches for everyone. Dyson is attracted to Adam from the start. Who wouldn't be? The guy is handsome, talented, and has the body of a god. He's also surprisingly down to earth...for a rich and famous sports star. When Adam surprises him with a passionate kiss, Dyson is determined to make Adam beg to be dragged into his bed. But when Adam refuses to come out, things turn rough. Dyson can't stand liars and hypocrites, and Adam's secret is not only going to destroy their undeniable connection, but it might ruin the quarterback as well. Yet, the truth comes with its own risks, and this time, love is on the goal line.

Power Plays & Straight A's

Power Plays & Straight A's | CU Hockey #1 | Eden Finley & Saxon James


FOSTER
“Look out for Zach and don’t hit on him.”
My brother’s request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself.
Easy.
Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I’ve always thought was cute, I don’t have the time to think with my … stick.
There’s only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that’s my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract.
The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice.
Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.
ZACH
People confuse me.
And no one more than Foster Grant.
I’ve barely spoken two words to him in the whole time I’ve known him, but the second I step foot on campus, he’s impossible to shake.
I can never anticipate his next move. And whenever we’re together, my next move is a total mystery as well.
I want to give in to him, but that might mean coming clean about something I’ve never been bothered about before.
I’m still carrying my V-card.
And I think it’s time to turn it in.

Ashton
If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to play the game…both on and off the field. If it hadn’t been for that one teenage slipup where I kissed Beau Campbell, I’d be able to keep fooling myself. Football is the one thing I use to distract myself from the truth, and when I screw-up and lose the game I love, I find myself right back in Fever Falls. And right back face-to-face with Cranky Campbell, who hates me even more than he did when we were kids. Whatever magic he held over me then is still there. As much as I fight it, I still want him. And I always get what I want…well, except with Beau, who constantly calls me on my crap. Why do I like that so much?
Beau
I might’ve spent years watching Ash live out my dream—without the off-field antics and orgies with women, at least—but I’ve made a good life for myself. I’m a firefighter, and I coach my brother’s football team for those with developmental disabilities. But when Ash swings back into town armed with his monster ego and an arsenal of stupid nicknames, everyone is in awe of him. Nope, not me. I don’t care if our kiss years ago was responsible for my sexual awakening. I won’t fall for Ashton Carmichael. Though that resolution would be a whole lot easier if he wasn’t so tempting. Once he finds his way into my bed, I’m screwed—in more ways than one. But there’s more to Ash than meets the eye, buried beneath his ego, sarcasm and how we burn up the sheets together. Soon, it’s more than a game. We don’t just get each other fired up, we just might win each other’s hearts.
Too bad things are never that simple…

Jason Hawkins is about to throw the biggest Hail Mary pass of his career.
If he can't turn NFL recruiters' heads this year, he'll lose his shot at the one thing he's ever been good at. But every quarterback needs a man he can count on down-field. For Jason, that man just might be the Tigers' new receiver, Derek Griffin.
Four years ago, Derek nearly lost everything after being outed by his teammates.
Now he finally has a chance to get it all back as a walk-on for Eastshore College... if he can resist his immediate attraction to the gorgeous and very straight star quarterback.
An instant connection during practice leads to an easy friendship that only grows stronger off the field. Derek is convinced friendship is all it'll ever be, but a very confusing moment of impulse leaves both of them fumbling for answers about their relationship.
As curiosity gives way to passion and passion gives way to something deeper, Jason and Derek will have to tackle their own personal demons to bring home the win and earn their happy ending.
