The Code
Lusting after his best friend's sister breaks every code he lives by, but one kiss is all it takes to fall in love.
Ryan Flynn’s life and career with the Ice Dragons hockey team is defined by a code: friendship, loyalty, respect, leadership, and protection. A call from his best friend’s sister ends up with him taking her home, and it’s all he can do to remember that she’s off limits. It doesn’t matter that she’s too much of a temptation for a man on the edge, he’s promised her brother he wouldn’t let any guy in professional sports anywhere near her, and that includes him.
Kat has been in lust with hockey player Ryan Flynn since she first laid eyes on him. The problem? Ryan is her brother’s best friend, bound by a complicated code of chivalry both on and off the ice. When he rescues her and then takes her home, she just needs a single kiss—and he is more than happy to help her out. When the kiss is just the start of something they need to hide from her brother, abruptly things are out of control.
Could Ryan, the hard man of the Dragons, see her as anything more than his best friend’s sister? And will Kat be able to catch and keep this Dragon who is the other half of her?

Il Diario Dei Segreti
Jake trascorre sempre il Natale al Santuario uno.
Sin dalla sua infanzia, la cabina nascosta nei boschi è stata la meta della sua famiglia per le festività, e ora, con l’avvicinarsi del terzo anniversario dalla morte del padre, Jake organizza una breve vacanza per se stesso, Kayden e Beckett. Purtroppo, una tempesta di neve blocca il fratello e il suo ragazzo a New York e Jake si ritrova da solo in montagna.
Sean è in fuga e l’unico posto dove può rifugiarsi è una cabina di cui si fa cenno in un vecchio diario: la prima casa protetta del Santuario. La cabina non è più usata a scopo protettivo, ma sarebbe comunque un buon riparo dove potersi prendere cura delle proprie ferite e fare un bilancio della propria vita.
Nessuno dei due uomini è preparato a trascorrere una settimana di isolamento in reciproca compagnia e neppure a fronteggiare i segreti che minacciano di ucciderli entrambi.
