Athletic trainer Marianne Cook is ready to do whatever it takes to turn the men of the Marine Corps boxing team into fighting machines. After all, her ultimate goal is to land a job training professional athletes. But when she notices a certain hard-bodied marine trying to hide an injury, Marianne realizes that she’ll have to use covert tactics to get him talking.
First Lieutenant Brad Costa has waited years for the chance to fight for a spot on the Marine Corps boxing team, knowing he has to push twice as hard to get half as far as his younger counterparts. Brad tries to downplay his injuries to the attractive trainer who has his dreams in her hands, but Marianne isn’t buying it. Maybe it’s time to deploy some targeted flattery.
As Brad and Marianne’s attraction turns red-hot, there’s more than one person having a hard time keeping their eyes on the prize…
keefnersa, thank you for this one! Love my fighters and military men!
Waiting on the Sidelines-Ginger Scott This is a YA/NA. It starts off when they are 14/15 years old and tells the H and h's story as high school students and end with them as freshmen in college. I have not read the 2nd book though it picks up 2 years into their college life. The romance is a roller coaster of WTF. (the one s*x scene happens when they are both 18 and I skipped that). H is always trying to do better (fails every time) h is doormat material with some glimpses of a backbone but always falls back on old habits. (they both do)
Wes Life on the road as a pro-ballplayer isn't without it's drawbacks. And now, without a team to play for, I find myself heading home. Maybe it's a good thing. I can focus on my daughter, Izzy, and my life. I need to get things straightened out, including that hole that I never filled after Izzy's mom left. But, is there anything that could keep me in town if another team came calling?
Kristin I came to Chandler to build a new life. But just a few months in, things abruptly changed. Wes Martin: professional baseball player, apparent local hero and total hottie is back in town. Our chance meeting in my library is quickly leading to something more. I'm falling hard for this man. But am I just another notch on his belt? Will I come between he and his daughter? There are too many questions, so many complications. Yet... I can't get Was Martin out of my head.
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. 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?

Yes please! Love me some hockey players! Thank you!
He put me through hell… And I called it love. I knew that it was too good to be true, and when Eric Wayne promised me the world? I should have run fast in the other direction. Instead of falling for every word… It should have been no surprise when he dropped me the moment that something better came along, yet when it happened? He single-handedly crushed my heart into a million pieces And he never even looked back. I promised myself that I would never again open myself up to that kind of pain, and for the last six years? I have kept my word. I’ve moved on, and created a new life for myself, far away from him. I never intended to ever have to see his face again. But fate had other plans… And the second that a chance encounter brings us back together? Well, let’s just say, that it’s going to take everything that I have not to fall for him again. He’s too damn hot to resist… ** She was the one that got away… I never meant to hurt Avery, but when I had her? I was just a stupid kid. She didn’t deserve the way that things ended, but at the time, I didn’t realize what I was losing. But now I’m grown…and this man? Realizes that she is the only woman that could ever own my heart. I’ve achieved everything in my life that I’ve set my mind to so far, and the only thing missing is the beautiful woman by my side. And only one woman will do. Avery. And when fate drops her back into my lap, she has no choice but to accept the help that I’m all too willing to offer I’m certain that I will be able to win her back. No matter how hard she tries to fight it, I’m going to make her see… That I will do whatever it take
