Or at least, he’s accused of being a murderer. The only reason I’m even talking to someone like Carson Slate is because I’m a journalist for our college paper.

Shirking all of my responsibilities, lying, hiding, pretending to be someone I’m not. And before I know it, Carson is treating me differently too, demanding that I do sexual acts for every question he answers for my article. The worst part? The worst part is that I love it. I love it when Carson Slate tells me what sexy outfit to wear. I love letting him touch me And I love it when he tells me how to touch him. Or where to put my mouth… And yes, he’s as big as the rumors suggest, in EVERY way. But then again, so is the story I’m writing. The story that could destroy Carson, his father, and everything I hold dear…

Playmaker
Lisa B. Kamps - 2016
His natural ability to read the game and create scoring chances has made him a valuable playmaker for the Baltimore Banners, but his skill off the ice is a little different. Coming from a world of privilege with a devilish charm and fun-loving spirit, responsibility isn't something Derek's ever had to worry about. And he's not accustomed to working for what he wants. That all changes after a single encounter with Bridget Lloyd. Fiercely independent and entirely too outspoken, Bridget learned early in life how to work--and fight--for what she wants. After struggling with the loss of her mother at an early age, she's worked her way through college with the goal of becoming a social worker who specializes in working with children. As a member of the Banner's Ice Crew, she's familiar with Derek's play on and off the ice and wants nothing to do with the irresponsible, fun-loving player--until a minor accident throws them together. Can a one-night encounter really change the course of two lives? And when the tables are turned, can one stubborn woman teach the fun-loving playmaker that responsibility isn't a four-letter-word and sometimes it's what happens behind the scenes that matters most?
