Retour De Bâton
Un été torride dans les bras l’un de l’autre ne saurait suffire.
Stanislav « Stan » Lyamin est heureux de jouer pour les Railers. Le gardien de but imposant est bien aimé et respecté. Il s’est bâti une maison, même si celle-ci ne contient que lui, son chat et sa collection grandissante de cartes de Pokémon. Il préfère vivre ainsi. Il a donné son cœur à un homme l’été dernier, lors d’une relation secrète et celui-ci s’est éloigné, le laissant brisé. Maintenant, Erik est de retour dans sa vie, et il a toujours le même effet dévastateur sur son cœur. Cette fois, ce n’est pas que des lèvres attirantes et de belles boucles blondes qu’Erik a amenées avec lui à Harrisburg : il y a aussi une future ex-femme et un précieux bébé. En dépit du vœu de Stan de haïr Erik pour l’éternité, il a désormais de plus en plus de mal à s’en détourner.
Erik Gunnarsson rêve depuis toujours de jouer à la LNH. Il n’aurait jamais imaginé décrocher un contrat avec les Railers. Qui aurait pensé que le destin le mettrait dans la même équipe que Stanislav Lyamin, l’homme dont il a brisé le cœur ? Les secrets et les mensonges avaient défini leur relation estivale, et le choix d’Erik d’y mettre un terme le hante depuis. Pris au milieu d’un divorce pitoyable, avec un bébé, Erik réapparaît dans la vie de Stan. Désormais, tout ce qu’il a à faire c’est devenir le meilleur père possible, prouver à son équipe qu’il mérite une chance de rester sur leur liste et faire de son mieux pour que Stan lui pardonne. Est-ce impossible de persuader un homme qui vous déteste de laisser une seconde chance à l’amour ?

School and Rock
When Colorado Penn finds an unexpected package on his front step, his life will be changed forever.
Colorado Penn is living the dream. Starting goalie for the Arizona Raptors when in season, lead singer for a hard rock band when summer rolls around. He’s the quintessential free spirit who’s making sure he enjoys all the carnal blessings of his athleticism, and gritty singing voice. Now the Raptors are moving into their first playoff appearance in years, but the arrival of an unexpected package means that hockey may have to take a backseat to something way more important. Instead of the usual undergarments from adoring fans, he finds a newborn baby with a small note tucked under her carrier, naming him as the father. He refuses to give up his daughter and is determined to be the kind of father he’d dreamed of having. But to keep Madeline, he’ll need help, and he’ll need it fast. Enter handsome emergency manny, Joseph. They may be opposites, but Colorado starts to see that Joseph’s stable, calm influence makes his chaotic lifestyle choices seem less appealing. There’s something about the man that soothes not only his infant daughter but also the wild child inside Colorado.
Joseph is one year away from getting his degree in planetary science, working cover shifts at the planetarium, and pulling in income with short term manny gigs. Stars collide as he provides emergency childcare for the wild man of hockey, a man who moves so fast through life that he doesn’t know how to stop. Homeless, and caring for his niece, Emma, fate brings Joseph into Colorado and baby Madeline’s life. Madeline is a sweetheart, and Colorado is trying his hardest to make the best decision for his baby girl. He offers his home and an indecent salary, to keep Joseph in his life until summer’s end. Colorado brings mysticism and metal to Joseph’s sanctuary of science, but somehow Joseph needs to tame this shooting star and create a family. Nothing in the contract said Joseph had to fall in love to make that happen, but when it’s time for him to leave, will the void in his heart ever heal, or will it remain as cold as space itself?
