My First Dating

As the coach’s curvy daughter, I shouldn’t fake-date the rival team’s hot, tattooed, grumpy defenseman, even if I used to have a crush on him back in high school.

My dad, the coach, spent months training our guys to take down Dmitri Lokhov.

He’s the hottest, fastest, and grumpiest defenseman on the rink. No one’s seen him smile, let alone mutter more than a few broody words.

But when Dmitri loses his calm, knocking out our best player who happens to be my fiancé, everyone is shocked.

With a little liquid courage, I break into Dmitri’s cushy five-star hotel suite. After all, we knew each other as teenagers, so I need to give Mr. Grumpy Superstar a piece of my mind.

What I’m not supposed to learn is why he lost his cool in the first place. It was over a nasty comment about me. Made by my fiancé.

I break the wedding off, but the best way to get revenge?

Fake date his rival.

In this game of hearts, the stakes have never been higher…

Molly Harris is used to being left. Parents, boyfriends – she’s the queen of rejection. Her latest boyfriend, gym-fanatic Duncan, dumps her to go on reality dating show The One which sets up hot singletons to date for four weeks before meeting at the altar to say, ‘I do’.

But Duncan was the one who picked Molly up and put her back together the last time her heart got broken, so, determined not to let ‘The One’ get away, she follows Duncan onto the show. If she can prove that they’re meant to be, she might just get the happily ever after of her dreams…

But on the first day of filming, another reminder of her painful history walks into Happily Ever After Towers: Ben Knight, her it’s-not-you-it’s-me heartbreaker. The one she loved before Duncan.

In four weeks’ time, who will she meet at the altar? Duncan, the first person who ever made her feel loved, or Ben, the first person who made her feel?

The best way to get back at my horrible ex? Fake date Rory Miller–my ex’s rival, the top scorer in pro hockey, and the arrogant, flirtatious hockey player I tutored in high school.

Faking it is fun and addictive, though, and beneath the bad boy swagger, Rory’s sweet, funny, and protective.

He teaches me to skate and spends way too much money on me.

He sleeps in my bed and convinces me to break my just-one-time hookup rule.

He kisses me like it’s real.

And now I wonder if Rory was ever faking it to begin with.

The Fake Out is a pro hockey fake dating romance. It is the second book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be read as a standalone.

Megan is dreading going home for the holidays. She’s the village pariah, the she-devil who left local golden boy Isaac at the altar four years ago and ran away to the big city. She could really do without the drama. Particularly as he’s engaged again, and she’s just been dumped for the fourth time this year.

Christian’s fed up of being on his own every Christmas. He doesn’t mind being alone, but he hates his family’s sad eyes and soft tones as they sit around coupled up. Because he’s actually, totally, fine.

So when Megan literally bumps into Christian in a Dublin pub, they come up with a pact to see them through the holiday season. They’re going to be the very best fake dates for each other, ever.

Rules are drawn up, a contract is signed on a wine-stained napkin. They will sit through each other’s family gatherings and be outrageously in love until freed from their annual obligations. After all, it’s only for a few weeks.

But with everyone home for the holidays, two big families to deal with alongside old friends, old flames and old feelings, things are bound to get messy. And when a snowed-in cabin and a little Christmas magic are added to the mix, anything could happen…

A swoonworthy and utterly gorgeous romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud and fall completely in love. Fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella and Abby Jimenez won’t be able to put this down!

In this uniquely fascinating book, Sandra Anne Taylor reveals how the Universal Laws—and even quantum physics—actually direct the course of your relationship destiny.

Energy is the center of all life, and your energy is the center of all that you attract. You project this energy ahead of you in time and space, magnetically determining whom you will meet, as well as what the dynamics of any particular relationship will be like.

In Secrets of Attraction, you’ll discover what makes up your personal energy field, how you broadcast it, and why it has much more impact on your relationships than your looks, intellect, or financial status.

No matter what you’ve been through in the past, you do have the power to change your relationship energy and manifest the intimacy, reciprocity, and true love that has been eluding you for so long!

Something fake shouldn’t feel this good.

EVANGELINA JONES, the fiercely independent daughter of an NFL legend,is determined to carve her own path running a thriving dessert shop. When her stalkerish ex-boyfriend reappears and threatens to destroy everything she has built, she’s forced to turn to her new neighbor for help.

DRAKE BENSON is the NHL’s golden boy, with a perfect reputation on and off the ice. To an outsider, it might seem that he’s got everything one could dream of, but he desperately needs to fill his days during the offseason. When Evangelina knocks on his door with an unexpected request—to pretend to be her boyfriend—it offers a welcome break from his solitude.

The rules of their arrangement are simple: play the part, but don’t fall in love. As Drake becomes Evangelina’s protector, their pretend romance stirs emotions neither of them anticipated, blurring the lines between fake and real.

Caught between his blossoming feelings for his fiery neighbor and a rule he’s in danger of breaking, Drake risks having his heart shattered because Evangelina doesn’t date athletes. Will he be able to convince her to give him a chance, or will he lose everything he never knew he wanted until he met her?

What to Text Him Back to Keep Him Hooked and Make Him BEG to See You Again

Did you know that men secretly use texting as a way to “pre-screen” a woman’s romantic value? A woman’s texting habits can reveal a lot about her self-worth, confidence, intelligence, and even her level of class and emotional maturity.

Because guys covertly appraise a woman’s relationship potential this way, many women often have no idea that the way they communicate via text is actually sending the wrong message and thus, they unknowingly end up chasing men away.

Discover the Secrets of Texting Men to Effortlessly Stand Out from EVERY Other Woman

Men have their own unique way of interpreting a woman’s communication attempts. Therefore, although many women mean well, they often do things when texting men that sometimes makes them appear too easy, too needy, too bossy, or too boring…even if these things aren’t necessarily true about them.

Texting is the one medium of communication in which a great guy can easily get the wrong idea about you. And as these wrong ideas pile up inside his mind, they usually coalesce into a single romance-killing thought: That he can do better than you.

So, what’s a girl supposed to do then?

Simple really. All she needs to do is understand exactly how men appraise female texting habits and how to use this knowledge to differentiate herself as being a high-value woman. Doing so will make it easy for her stand out from EVERY other woman who texts him.

How to Use Texting to Tease, Flirt, and Entice Your Way into Becoming His TOP Priority

If you want to arouse the kind of long-term desire in a man that makes him eager to pursue you for dates, romance, commitment, and more, you must take advantage of texting and use it to make subtle and seductive displays of your high-status, and thus, your high-value.

Fortunately, this is exactly what you’re going to learn in, Texts So Good He Can’t Ignore!

In this fun and insightful dating book, you’ll learn the texting habits of high-value women and gain access to a vast collection of irresistible, man-melting text messages that make men EAGER to text you back and desperate to see you again. And because this in-depth guide focuses on how men think (unlike most dating books for women), it will give you a distinct advantage over your peers when it comes to texting men.

Here’s what you’re going to learn inside:

Exactly what to text a guy when he’s stringing you along and only doing the BARE MINIMUM to keep you interested.How to use mischievous “Feisty Girl” texts to get a man to finally ask you out (or ask you out AGAIN), while making it seem like it was all HIS idea.What to do (and what NOT to do) if a guy suddenly stops texting you or starts responding to your texts less and less.How to get him to CALL YOU instead of texting all the time.What to text a man to “let him down easy” but KEEP him interested whenever he sends an inappropriate or overly sexual text.Exactly what to text a guy who keeps “coming BACK from the DEAD” and suddenly starts taking an interest in you again.
