Product: Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between
Description: A story about baseball, family, the American Dream, and the fight to turn Los Angeles into a big league city. Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.
Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O'Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy -- a glittering, ultra-modern stadium.
But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood's families -- including one, the Aréchigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation - and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.

Description: Waiting for the right guy.

Ella Couture didn't mean to save herself. But success runs in the family and Ella, a fiery and self-made interior decorator, never wanted to settle for anything less than a quality man.

But another disappointing breakup has Ella flirting with idea of a meaningless fling -- because this whole v-card business has gone on for way too long.

When Ella visits her brother Lance for the weekend, she finds herself all alone with his teammate, Radar. The rugged hockey star is tall, chiseled and gorgeous -- and based on his past, he won't get attached.

It's a nice fantasy ... but Ella isn't the type of girl to sleep with her brother's best friend.

That's what she keeps telling herself, anyway ...

Live by the code, die by the code.

On the ice, tough guy 'Radar' enforces the code of the game with his fists. And he won't let anyone mess with the team's superstar center, Lance Couture.

Radar might sleep around, but he knows to keep his distance when Lance's sister visits the two roommates at their Boston condo. The code has a rule about family members, after all: they're strictly off-limits.

Not that Radar's worried about breaking that rule -- he's already heard an earful about how insane his best bud's younger sis is.

But Lance never said anything about Ella being a cute babe with an adorable laugh.

And he definitely never said anything about how she's finally ready to lose her v-card ...

But if Radar can't keep his hands off Ella, not only will he stab his best friend in the back -- he'll ruin everything he's worked for.

So why can't he get that girl out of his mind?

Camille Kennedy can't believe who just walked into her tiny bakery. That tall, muscular stud? He's Beau Bradford, famous hockey hunk.

But this isn't a happy high school reunion -- the arrogant athlete was a thorn in Camille's side and had a serious knack for bringing out her worst. And now that he's a star in the pros, he's even more chiseled and cocky.

So when Beau locks his eyes on her, Camille knows exactly what's running through his jock brain.

Game on.

But Camille's too busy for games. And she knows where Beau's flirting leads. Like, a sinfully hot kiss in the back of a cab, for example. Or his giant hand, sliding under her dress and inching up her thighs ...

You know what he's after. Don't fall for it!

A hard-hitting, heart-breaking badboy ...

Beau Bradford wears his reputation as the dirtiest player in the NHL like a badge of pride. He's no saint off the ice, either.

Ha ... who cares.

She can deny it all she wants, but Beau knows better than anyone else that Little Miss Perfect has a dark side -- one that's begging and screaming to be let loose.

Product: Hooked (Colorado Blizzard Book 1)
Description: "Do not f*** the players. Or you will be fired."

As the newest "ice babe" for the Colorado Blizzard, I'm not too worried about breaking that rule. I know a thing or two about fending off hockey players looking to score.

At least, that's what I thought ... until I caught the eye of Blizzard captain and heart-throb Hunter Rockwell.

No matter how many times I turn the troubled star down, he's convinced I'm just playing hard to get -- and he doesn't care how much hot water his flirting lands me in.

If I were being perfectly honest? Sure, I'd love to spend a few minutes in the sin bin with the chiseled stud ... but I'd never risk my job for a filthy rich athlete with a dirty reputation.

But with Hunter stepping up his game on and off the ice to win me over, telling him no is getting harder than ever. It doesn't help that everyone already suspects there's something between us.

And maybe they're right.

Hunter swears no one will find out ... but I know we're bound to get caught.

And then he'll toss my broken heart to the ice, just like all the others.

So why am I letting myself get hooked on Hunter?
