Indianapolis Eagles Series by Samantha Lind, Juliana Cabrera

Cocky, man whore, player…. Those are all ways I have been described by the media and countless women. Are they accurate? Possibly. But, that’s all I let the media see of me, Brian Kelly, defensive player for the Indianapolis Eagles Hockey team. I have no intentions of settling down and changing the media's perception of me. I can’t tell if women are after me for my bank account, the status symbol of being with a professional athlete, or if they really want me for me. Then I meet her... moreCocky, man whore, player….

I can’t tell if women are after me for my bank account, the status symbol of being with a professional athlete, or if they really want me for me. Then I meet her. The one woman who doesn’t let my charm affect her or cause her to jump directly into my bed. Can I possibly change my ways and settle down?
 Grounded, selfless, giving…Those are all the ways my family and friends have described me. Are they right? Possibly. But, I’m so much more, and need some passion and excitement in my life. My best friend is moving on and I want that someone special to share all that life has to offer. Let it be known that I, Kinley Williams, want the right someone special. So why did he have to crash into me? The one man who is so clearly wrong for me. Then again, he doesn’t seem like anything the tabloids claim him to be. So is he really all that wrong? less

Laura I believed in the fairytale. The Happily-Ever-After. The “till death do us part” fantasy little girls grow up believing in. Unfortunately for me, my happy ending was divorce, and learning to find myself all over again. I was done with men and relationships, or so I thought, until a stubborn hockey player was determined to show me what love could really be... moreLaura I believed in the fairytale.

Beckett Hockey is my life. My focus. My priority. I left Sweden for it five years ago. I’ve finally been given a shot to prove myself, and I refuse to let anything jeopardize that. No distractions ~ especially not Julia, the stunning woman I can't seem to get out of my mind. Only problem is, she's my coach's daughter. Julia I grew up around hockey. Lived and breathed it, thanks to my dad’s job. I never thought I’d fall for a player. Especially one my dad coaches... moreBeckett Hockey is my life. My focus. My priority.

School. Graduation. Opening my own business. I didn't see myself settling down anytime soon, I had an empire to build.
