Lorelai Anderson got under my skin years ago and I'd never been able to get her out. When I found out she had a crush on me I turned into the biggest dick around. I did what I did to keep her away. I knew I wasn't the man she needed, and her brother agreed. Then I left town to play hockey which was both a blessing and a curse. When I got signed to the Dominators and returned to Vancouver, I suppose I got what I deserved. Not only did Lorelai hate my guts, but she had a boyfriend. So, I kept my distance from her, until her friend started dating one of my teammates. I had no choice but to come around. It got worse when I got the invitation to her brother's wedding. There was no way I could back out. As my luck would have it Lorelai and I end up on the same flight to Hawaii and that's when I find out she is very single. I also find out that her ex is going to be at this wedding and despite having a new girlfriend, the...

My best friend Sophie was gorgeous, at times uptight and desperate.Her biological clock was ticking and after yet another failed relationship she pulled me aside."Listen Chase, you know I adore you and you know I need you. Historically, you always come through for me." She swallowed hard while I listened. "It's no secret that I want a baby, the semi old fashioned way."I nodded not really believing what I was hearing."I want you to do it.""You want my swimmers?""Yes, through natural injection."Sex with my best friend. The best friend I had once upon a time wanted in a bad way."Don't worry, I've got this covered," I assured her. She looked relieved and maybe even a little excited.Seven Days, Six nights, and lots of sex. What more could I want?Oh right. A way to turn this into forever so I could raise my child too.

Bailey Scott had been my world from the time I was fifteen. I had always thought we could make it through whatever life threw at us. But I was wrong. Five years ago, everything changed in an instant one weekend in December. Her brother had been shot and killed in the line of duty, and his killer had gotten away. I spent my days buried in work trying to track down his killer, while she sat at home not only blaming herself but everyone else for what had happened. Included in that everyone else, was me, her fiancée, and his partner. Unfortunately, that blame drove a rift between us that neither of us knew how to fix. I was always told that time healed everything. It's been five years. In that time, I spent my days at work, and my nights with women trying to release the hold Bailey still had on me. I've also been trying to release the guilt I've felt from that night. I was doing pretty good until my best friend and partner tells me...

I'd never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until I'd broken up with my girlfriend. Sun, sand, surf and a few drinks to pass the nights away. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mind...that was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar. She turned those pretty grey-blue eyes on me, and it was that moment that I set my sights on her. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was there alone, even though every time she'd make eye contact with me, she'd glance over her shoulder like she was waiting for someone. It wasn't my style to gawk, but she was damn cute. I'll never forget my first conversation with her either. My brothers and I had decided to move the party from the bar to my hotel room. Things got loud, and before I knew it she was standing on the other side of my door. I was even more surprised to find her wearing nothing but a short t-shirt. Only she wasn't here to join the...
