    About this series

    Jonas Michaud: There are two places I'm not supposed to be: in trouble and in a gentleman's club. But thanks to my sister, I find myself in both anyway. And just in time to rescue the sports reporter who drives me crazy.

    Jamie Knight is the curviest little enemy I've ever had. She's been publishing stories about my hockey teammates for years. But I want her attention focused on me.

    Finding me in Dionysus is the story of her career. Imagine my surprise when it never airs.

    Jamie Knight: There are two things I did not expect: being propositioned in a dungeon or being saved by the hockey player of my dreams. But thanks to my best friend, here I am anyway. I only came to Dionysus to get a peek at Nashville's naughtiest. Instead, I'm leaving with the story of my lifetime.

    But I've been in love with Jonas Michaud and his wild ways since I set eyes on him. Publishing this story would destroy him, and that's the last thing I want to do. So I keep his secret to keep my own.

    But I did not expect him to declare war on my traitorous heart. He knows my deepest desires now. And this ice giant has every intention of using them to make me melt.

    Contains mature themes.

      This bossy hockey star just met his curvy match. Laney: Weston Davies, bad boy of the NHL, was my dad's hero. He's a beast on the ice . . . and off. He's also rude, arrogant, and way too hot. I came to the game to thank him for making my dad's last year so happy. I'm leaving as the winner of a Valentine's Day date with him. Why do I get the feeling he's behind my random selection? And why am I thinking about actually following through? This has bad idea written all over it. Weston: Nothing gets me as heated as a bad call on the ice-until I save Laney Briggs from a wayward puck. She's got the brightest eyes and the cutest annoyed face I've ever seen. I probably shouldn't have offered to sign her chest. I really shouldn't have scammed my way into a date with her. But there's something about her that drives me wild. She thinks I'm an arrogant jerk. I think she was made to be mine. Now I just have to convince her that I'm worth the hassle. Contains mature themes.

      On Eve of Hall of Fame Induction, Bulls' Jerry Krause Remembered Fondly

      Sep 7, 2017

      SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - When Thelma Krause entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Thursday, one of the first things she saw was her late husband Jerry's picture. And he was smiling. It's bittersweet, of course, that news of Krause's Class of 2017 inclusion to honor his tenure as the architect for one of the most dynamic dynasties in sports history came just 10 days after he died at 77 in March. But that smile in that picture meant something to Thelma. "Hopefully, he does know," Thelma said. The basketball world surely does. Posthumously, Krause will take his official Hall call o
