Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about: RYAN She's a distraction, that's what she is. I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all...

Get ready for Kai Rhodes and Miller Montgomery's story. A single dad and nanny romance. Kai I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team. I’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son. Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go. Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can’t fire—his daughter. Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I’d be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever. Miller As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I’m desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can’t create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life. With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player’s kid. Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I’m eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer. Besides, I’ve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about: ZANDERS Chicago hockey isn't complete without me - everyone's favourite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job. But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can't quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons or if it's more than that. STEVIE I've been a flight attendant for years. I thought I'd see it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be. Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it. Everything but him.

Zanders Chicagsky hokej by bezo mňa nebol tým, čím je. Ľudia ma radi nenávidia. Poznám svoju rolu a hrám ju dobre. Vlastne si to aj náležite užívam. Väčšinu zápasov trávim na trestnej lavici a potom odchádzam zo štadióna zakaždým s inou kráskou. No naša nová letuška v súkromnom tímovom lietadle sa mi ani trochu nepozdáva. Ona pracuje pre mňa, nie ja pre ňu. Dám si však poriadne záležať na tom, aby som jej to pripomenul. Zaručujem vám, že do konca sezóny bude žobrať, aby ju vyhodili. Ibaže s každým letom sa hranice čoraz viac stierajú a neviem sa rozhodnúť, či ju k sebe neustále privolávam pre to, aby som ju provokoval, alebo sa v tom skrýva čosi viac. Stevie Roky pracujem ako letuška a myslela som si, že som už videla všetko. Keď však v svojom novom zamestnaní zakotvím na palube lietadla s tým najsebeckejším a najpokryteckejším hráčom NHL, zrazu o všetkom pochybujem. Navyše, kedysi som si dala sľub, že si už nikdy v živote nezačnem so žiadnym športovcom… Nech by bol akokoľvek príťažlivý. Evan Zanders sa absolútne nevie ovládať, za nič sa neospravedlňuje a je príliš pekný ¦ aj na vlastnú škodu. Zbožňuje svoju povesť, ale ja ju z duše neznášam. Vlastne ho neznášam celého. O autorke Liz Tomforde sa narodila a vyrastala v Severnej Karolíne. Má štyroch starších súrodencov, s ktorými v detstve aktívne cvičila a sledovala šport. Miluje všetko romantické, cestovanie, psy a hokej. Keď sa práve nenachádza na palube lietadla ako letuška či cestujúca a keď práve nepíše, určite ju nájdete s dobrou knihou v ruke alebo so zlatým retrieverom Lukom na prechádzke mestom. 18+
