Titles in this set: Compleat Tangler Play it as it Lies Three Sheets in the Wind Up the Garden Path Description: Compleat Tangler What do fishermen really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool, and disappear into the drizzle?

Titles in this set: 1. The Graham Effect 2. The Dixon Rule Description: The Graham Effect Hockey's golden girl just made a deal with the bad boy . . . Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine - a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The Dixon Rule Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer. She’s rehearsing for a ballroom dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who can’t take the hint it’s over. Yet despite all that, she still has plenty of time and energy to tell Shane Lindley to screw off. Shane just moved into her apartment building and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he’s a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he’s messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and―most importantly―leave her alone. What Diana doesn’t realize is that Shane’s sick of hookups and tired of being on the rebound after his long-term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous…and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbor? Despite Diana’s reluctance to break her rule, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can’t deny something is sizzling between her and Shane. Something hot and completely unexpected. And it might just be getting a little too real. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

Titles in this set: 1. Full Measures 2. Eyes Turned Skyward 3. Beyond What is Given 4. Hallowed Ground 5. The Reality of Everything Description: Full Measures Three knocks can change everything. Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew . . . the soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. What she didn't know was how she would find the strength to care for her crumbling family while her mum fell apart. Then, hockey star Josh Walker enters her life. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can't deny their intense attraction. But when Josh's secret shatters their world, Ember must decide if he's worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare. Eyes Turned Skyward They're flying through dangerous territory and one wrong move could make them crash and burn . . . Since her sister's death, Paisley Donovan, who shares her sister's heart condition, has been treated like delicate glass by her parents. But nothing will stop her from completing her Bucket List - even if it kills her. And it almost does until Jagger Bateman pulls her from the ocean. Jagger is enrolled in the country's toughest flight school. Wickedly hot, reckless, and perfect for a girl looking to live life to the fullest. Except Paisley is the commanding general's daughter, and her boyfriend is his biggest rival. Paisley must decide just how much to risk for a guy who makes her heart pound a little too hard. Beyond What is Given Be careful what you wish for . . . Grayson Masters is focused on graduating and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate distracting him. And though her smart mouth is irresistibly irritating, he can't seem to deny their off-the-charts chemistry.

Falling in love is something neither of them can afford, and when that line is crossed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers that will put you through hell . . . Hallowed Ground Josh and Ember's rollercoaster love story from Full Measures continues . . . Josh Walker is loyal, reckless and every girl's dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school days. Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates-even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan as a medevac pilot. Filling their last days together with love and plans for their future doesn't temper Ember's fears, and if there's one thing she's learned from her father's death, it's that there are some obstacles even love can't conquer . . .
