In a world of rules and reputations, Rosalie plays for her own pleasure. 
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND TIKTOK SENSATION COMES A SPICY WHY CHOOSE ROMANCE 
 
When Rosalie Harrow found herself plunged into the middle of a house party of society ladies in pursuit of the hand of the Duke of Norland, though she was near destitute, she had no desire to be caged by marriage. Yet, by evening’s end, she’d captivated not one, but three gentlemen . . . 
 
James Corbin, Viscount Finchley, has a dual mission. First, guarantee that his debaucherous brother, George, the Duke, goes through with his upcoming marriage. Second, ensure that his best friend, Burke, does not get married . . . at least not to the living, breathing gorgon that is Lady Olivia Rutledge. Burke is fully in agreement. 
 
Together with their friend, Lieutenant Renley, the gentlemen concoct an elaborate ruse to set Burke free. But as George’s wedding day nears, secrets from the past emerge that threaten ruin upon each gentleman’s future. Fortunately, it’s Rosalie to the rescue . . . 
 
Rosalie has plans of her own, not only to save Burke from the altar, but to save Renley from the ghosts that haunt him—and to save James from himself. Meanwhile, to win her, each gentleman will try anything, risk anything, and be anything she needs. As for Rosalie, she can’t help but wonder, why choose?

 My name is Teddy O’Connor, and I just made a terrible mistake. 
It’s been six years since I was an intern for the Jacksonville Rays NHL team. Six years since I was wrapping ice packs on knees and playing Mario Kart on chartered planes. And it’s been six long years since I first met him. Henrik Karlsson, star forward of the Rays…and king of my heart. 
 Oh god, I’ve got to get over this crush! I’m a doctor now, a respected professional in my field. And Henrik doesn’t even know I exist. 
As the Rays’ newest physical therapist, I have a chance to launch my career. So you tell me why I’m risking everything to follow this man halfway around the world?! 
 After receiving news of his sister’s tragic death, Henrik must fly to Sweden to retrieve his young niece. She’s injured and grieving, but a new hockey season is about to start. Henrik can’t possibly care for her alone. In fact, the Swedish government won’t let him. He needs me. They both do. I’d be heartless not to help…right? 
 Well, that’s what I told myself last week as I signed our Swedish marriage license. It’s what I told myself yesterday as I moved my stuff into his apartment. And it’s what I’m telling myself now as the Rays PR Director stares us down. They want this marriage to look real. The team’s public image, our jobs, and his niece’s custody agreement all depend on it. 
 But the Rays don’t need to worry. My problem isn’t that I don’t love my new fake husband. God help me, my problem is that I do. 
 PUCKING STRONG is a spicy, slow-burning MM workplace hockey romance. This is Book Four in the USA Today and Internationally Bestselling Jacksonville Rays hockey series.
