The Dixon rule / by Kennedy, Elle,author.;
"The second in the steamy, hilarious Campus Diaries series ... set in the same world as Off Campus and Briar U ... Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer. She's rehearsing for a ballroom dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who can't take the hint it's over. Yet despite all that, she still has plenty of time and energy to tell Shane Lindley to screw off. Shane just moved into her apartment building and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he's a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he's messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and most importantly leave her alone. What Diana doesn't realize is that Shane's sick of hookups and tired of being on the rebound after his long-term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous--and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbor?"--

Perfect addiction / by Tan, Claudia,author.;
"When Sienna Lane walks in on her boyfriend Jax Deneris in bed with her sister, her world falls apart. In less than five minutes, she's homeless, friendless, family-less. Vowing to get back at Jax, Sienna quickly charts a course of revenge that will hit him where it hurts most -- in the MMA ring. Step one: convince Jax's rival, Kayden Williams, to train with her. At first, Kayden wants nothing to do with Sienna's schemes, but when he figures out that she might be able to give him an advantage, he caves, letting her first into his home, then into his bed, and finally into his heart. But as much as she cares about Kayden, she can't let her anger go, and it threatens the shaky foundation they've built together from their damaged lives. When Kayden gives Sienna an ultimatum -- it's either him or her revenge, she's forced to decide. Is getting back at Jax worth throwing her future with Kayden away?"--Publisher.

The Graham effect : a novel / by Kennedy, Elle,author.;
"Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine -- a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude ... and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it"--
