Elle Kennedy

A flirty standalone novel* from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy One night with him will change her life... Between her waitressing job, volunteer work, and college classes, there are never enough hours in Maggie Reilly's day. Especially not for a relationship. Luckily, she's got the perfect arrangement: a lover she meets three or four times a year. But when she shows up at the hotel expecting to hop into bed with one man, she accidentally ends up with another--Ben Barrett, Hollywood's most notorious bad boy. Ben, determined to lay low after another scandal, just wants some much-needed sleep. What he gets is a scorching make-out session with a gorgeous, naked redhead. He won't accept her apology, but what he will accept is a place to hide out...and if there's some hot, no-strings sex involved, why the heck not? But Ben soon discovers that one week with his sassy, bed-hopping waitress is definitely not enough. He wants more. A lot more. Now he needs to convince relationship-averse Maggie that a bad boy might be oh so good for her--and the best thing that's ever happened to both of them. * Previously published in 2008, Bad Apple (formerly Midnight Encounters) features almost entirely new content, including a point-of-view switch.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me.

“Hun stirrer på mig, som om hun vil flå tøjet af mig. Eller bare flå noget i stykker. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på hvad.” Jess Canning står over for sit livs største udfordring: at arrangere sin brors Jamies kæmpebryllup, hvor gæstelisten består af landets største hockeystjerner. I familien er hun kendt som den flagrende lillesøster, der konstant skifter mening og aldrig kan gennemføre noget. Med andre ord: Hun kan ikke tabe det her på gulvet. Og ingen (ingen!) må høre om den kæmpe fejltagelse, hun begik med forloveren i et svagt øjeblik sidste forår. Det var en fejl, og det kommer ikke til at ske igen. Absolut ikke. Heller ikke selvom han er den mest sexede mand, hun nogensinde har mødt. For Blake Riley er det her bryllup skæbnen, der smiler til ham. Jess er brudepige, og han er forlover. Lad kampen begynde. Og hvad så, hvis han står overfor en lillesmule (okay, en hel del) modstand? Han skal bare finde en måde at overbevise den stædige blondine om, at han i grunden er en god fyr med et blakket rygte. Heldigvis ved enhver professionel hockeyspiller, at man må kæmpe for det, hvis man vil score. Men Jess har mere presserende udfordringer pt. end at afvise Blake. Fx: Vil vielsen blive forsinket af, at nogen har drukket bedstemor fuld? Hører glimmer egentlig til et bryllup? Og er det virkelig så slemt at myrde forloveren?

Hockeyspilleren Ryan Wesley har haft nogle forrygende første fem måneder på isen. Han udlever sin drøm om at spille professionel hockey og komme hjem hver nat til den mand, han elsker – Jamie Canning, der både er hans bedste ven og kæreste. Der er bare et problem: Den allervigtigste person i hans liv bliver han nødt til at holde hemmelig, hvis ikke der skal opstå en mediestorm, der vil overskygge hans succes på isen. Jamie elsker Wes. Det gør han virkelig. Men det er hårdt hele tiden at skulle skjule deres forhold, og så hjælper det heller ikke, at Wes er så meget væk. Samtidigt er Jamies nye job ikke, som han havde troet, at det ville være. Alligevel ved han, at det nok skal gå det hele, så længe han har Wes. I det mindste er lejlighed 10B deres fristed, hvor de altid kan være sig selv. Eller kan de? Da Wes’ mest højlydte holdkammerat flytter ind i lejligheden oven over, bliver det sværere og sværere at holde sammen på deres omhyggeligt konstruerede løgn – og på deres forhold. For hvor meget mere skuespil og hvor mange hemmeligheder kan deres kærlighed holde til?

Jamie Canning har aldrig fundet ud af, hvorfor han mistede sin bedste ven for fire år siden. Hans fandenivoldske, flabede roommate droppede ham fra den ene dag til den anden uden en forklaring. Ja okay, tingene udviklede sig lidt mærkeligt mellem dem deres sidste nat på hockey camp – men de havde bare fået alt for meget at drikke og fjollede rundt. Der skete jo ikke rigtig noget. Ryan Wesleys største fortrydelse er, at han lokkede sin meget heteroseksuelle ven ud i et væddemål, der overtrådte grænserne for deres venskab. Nu, hvor deres hold skal spille imod hinanden i det nationale collegehockeymesterskab, får han endelig en chance for at sige undskyld. Men efter at han har kastet blot et enkelt blik på sit crush, er hans længsel større end nogen sinde. Jamie har ventet længe på svar, men mødet med Wesley efterlader ham bare med endnu flere spørgsmål. Og da Wesley melder sig til at være træner sammen med Jamie på seks ugers hockeycamp opdager Jamie overraskende ting og sager om sin ven – og en stor ting om sig selv. Ham er en sød og rørende bog om venskab, forelskelse og kærlighed og om at opdage sider af sig selv, men ikke anede man havde.

New York Times best seller Elle Kennedy brings you a sexy new Off-Campus novel that can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. She's good at achieving her goals.... College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes one night is all it takes for your entire life to change. But the game just got a whole lot more complicated. Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of 22, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can be made only with an assist.

Det er sidste år på college, og Sabrina James har planlagt sin fremtid ned i mindste detalje: Først skal hun have sin eksamen, så sparke røv på jurastudiet og derefter lande et velbetalt job i et brutalt effektivt advokatfirma. Med i planen for at undslippe sin skamfulde fortid er helt sikkert ikke en toplækker ishockeyspiller, der tror på kærlighed ved første blik. Men nogle gange er en enkelt nats sydende hot sex og overraskende stor ømhed alt, der skal til for at vende op og ned på dit liv. Tucker er af den overbevisning, at det at være en holdspiller er mindst lige så vigtigt som at være stjernen. Han har det fint med at opholde sig uden for rampelyset på isen, men når det kommer til det at blive far som 22-årig, nægter han at være bænkevarmer. Det skader ikke, at den vordende mor til hans barn er smuk, knivskarp og holder ham på tæerne. Problemet er, at der er lås og slå på Sabrinas hjerte, og den målrettede brunette er alt for stædig til at tage imod hans hjælp. Hvis han vil dele livet med sin drømmekvinde, bliver han nødt til at overbevise hende om, at visse mål skal man være to for at nå.

Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died. Ryan Wesley's biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he'll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself. Warning: Contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV, and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.
