"Be 'just friends' with a smokeshow like her? That's pretty much a p#cking impossible ask."-Tyler Lockhardt, VEGAS CRUSH I'm just over here minding my business playing hockey for the Crush when the SMOKESHOW of my dreams turns up and seriously rocks my world. For real. Beautiful, smart, and so incredibly sweet I cannot help myself from wanting to get to know her a whole lot better. But it's not happening. C*ck-blocked by her paranoid older brother (also my teammate) and her Feminazi sister, I've lost my game long before I ever had any. It gets worse. Zoya Kolochev has zero interest in dating hockey players and she is completely firm on that. She would like to be my friend though. *facepalm* I know I'm definitely not boyfriend material, but I don't think I'm very good friend material either. But it's what she wants...so I guess I'll have a new "friend" now. A smokin' hot, legs-for-days, sexy, gorgeous SMOKESHOW for my new friend.

"They call me The Mad Russian for a reason."-Viktor Demoskev, VEGAS CRUSH My reputation as an Enforcer was earned one game at a time. Fighting on the ice for my team is something I take very seriously because I came to the USA to play hockey, not be a celebrity. Unfortunately, this logic has my public image taking a beating-not that I care very much how others think of me. Except for her. Scarlett. A woman as gorgeous, and fiery, and sexy, as that long red hair of hers. Which would look even more stunning spread out on my sheets with my hands tangled in it all night long. It is unfortunate that she also works for the team. In Public Relations... So yeah, the no-fraternization policy is an issue, but hardly my main concern. The biggest hurdle is Scarlett thinking I am part of a gambling ring for the Russian Mafia. Crazy, right? I can deal with setting her straight about her ridiculous suspicions, but cracking through that hard shell she has built around her broken heart? This is my real challenge. But oh how I love a good fight. Winning is everything to me. Especially when the prize is the Las Vegas beauty I named the Red Rocket... **RED ROCKET is a sexy STANDALONE sports romance about a Russian hockey enforcer with a bad reputation and the feisty redhead from the PR department who just might be the one person who can help him shine up his tarnished image. Public Relations is about to take on a whole new meaning!

"There's a lot more to me than what I've let on in the public eye."-Georg Kolochev, VEGAS CRUSH No, I don't drink vodka straight from the bottle. I don't pour it over my breakfast cereal either. I am not in need of an intervention...unless it involves me and a certain blonde bombshell alone in a room with a locking door. I've done my fair share of partying, I'll admit. And yes, I've built up something of a reputation with the ladies when not on the ice. That's on me for being careless with my posts on social. And I do know what's most important in my life. Two things. Hockey...and Pamela Jenson. My favorite physical therapist needs me so much more than she knows. Because I am the guy delivering her SIN SHOT. Yeah, you heard me. I'm her first. Sinning with Pam has never felt so good. **SIN SHOT is a super sexy STANDALONE sports romance about a Russian bad-boy hockey god and a not-so-innocent virgin physical therapist! Things are about to heat up in the therapy room...
