Volunteering herself as tribute to the aliens was the only way Holly could ensure the safety of the rest of her bounty hunter crew.

Getting drafted to a losing team was bad enough. Falling for her could end me . . . I'm supposed to be the NHL's next poster boy. Not the guy the draft screws over. Or the headline waiting to happen. And definitely not the new face of the Seattle Rogues—the league's latest expansion team, who...

I had everything — school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. And then I nearly died. Landon saved my life. He’s the bravest guy I know. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. Me, I’m a mess. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new.
