Heston U Hotshots

Dancing on bar tops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University's infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time. But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother… his biggest rival. Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky. Frustratingly sexy. Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm. With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I'm almost the next score on his stats. Except I have no time for distractions when I'm focused on graduating early. Gaining Easton's attention wasn't part of my plans. Of course, from the moment he catches me shaking my assets on the bar, he decides I'm his next goal. Instead of sticking to my own rules, I do something I shouldn't: I dare him to try. Easton's never met a challenge he wouldn't accept. He makes it clear he won't be iced out without convincing me to give him a chance. I swore off hockey players for a reason. Can I risk making the same mistake again?

Everyone in Heston Lake is obsessed with Heston U's hockey team-except me. I'd rather do a live reading from the spiciest romance on my bookshelf nude than talk hockey. I could ignore my college town transforming into a sports bar during hockey season, but there's no escaping the players fueling their obsession. My twin brother… and his best friend on the team. #22. Alex Keller. Talented winger. The handsome hotshot player every girl on campus dreams of. And my fake boyfriend for the next two weeks. His idea, not mine. I doubt he knew I existed-until he stops the football team from teasing me. All it takes is a pet name and his strong arm around me. Playing along is my only option. I'm ready to go back to my side of the divide between nerds like me and athletes like Alex, but he refuses. He's determined to protect me for real, even if our relationship is fake. The only problem is he's too good at pretending. Our act fools everyone-including me.

Nothing's more romantic than matching with the same guy every time you reluctantly download a dating app. Hotter than ever-check. Off-limits-double check. Why does the universe hate me? Cole Kincaid is unfairly irresistible and the one guy I'll never have. My brother's best friend is all grown up, but he's not here to witness my messy girl era. He's Dad's new assistant coach for Heston U's hockey team. Match me once, we'll laugh it off and never talk about it again. Match me twice, well, this is awkward. Match me three-four-five times? My resolve is only so strong. Constantly enduring Cole's charm in this small town is tempting enough, thanks to the pesky crush I never got over. We're matching all the way, whether I like it or not. After a bad breakup, I'm only interested in avoiding loneliness through winter. And at rematch number… I've lost count, it turns out he wants to help me with that. What begins as an enticing game of sneaking around in secret turns into something neither of us can walk away from once the snow melts. The question is… how long can we hide this? Matching All the Way is a full-length standalone hockey romance in the Heston U Hotshots series.
