Jed West is Mr. Hockey: the captain of the NHL’s latest winning team and the hottest player on the ice—at least, according to Breezy Angel, who’s been drooling over Jed at games for years. He plays a starring role in her most toe-curling fantasies. But dirty dreams don’t come true, right? Everything changes when Jed saunters through the doors of Breezy’s library as a last-minute special guest for a summer reading event. Their chemistry is immediate and hot enough to thaw an entire rink in record time. But things grow complicated when Breezy decides to hide the fact that she’s Jed’s biggest fan. After all, her feelings for him are genuine, so who has to know? She’s not the only one with secrets, though, and Jed’s could change the course of his career forever. Can this hockey hotshot and quirky bookworm find the courage to be honest with each other or will their love story be over before it can truly begin?

Book excerpt: In From Nothing to 90, Will Klein chronicles his life from hardscrabble beginnings as an adopted child in a Saskatchewan family struggling through the “Dirty Thirties” to early success as a newsboy and onto great business achievement despite numerous setbacks throughout his life. In colourful, humorous, observant prose, Will takes readers from Depression-era Saskatchewan through his rise in business in the early days of television to his leadership in a storied public service organization that takes him around the world and into a whirlwind of political machinations that threatens to destroy him. At its heart, From Nothing to 90 is an inspiring story about Saskatchewan: its history, hardships, and opportunities. But it’s also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Book excerpt: It was supposed to be a one-time thing. A small con to give my hockey star brother a chance to heal without revealing his injury to his coach or teammates. But when that "little" injury proves to be something potentially career-ending, it's up to me to fake my way through the rest of his season. But I'm a figure skater, not a hockey player and with my own future hanging in the balance, I find myself relying on my brother's childhood best friend and teammate Mac to help me limp through this charade while following the rules. Rule number one? Don't get caught. Difficult, but doable. Rule number two? Don't get killed. Not planning on it, though it's proving harder than I thought. Rule number three? Don't get involved with Theo's teammates. Ha, that one will be easy at least... right? Part one of a high-stakes college sports romance full of witty banter, second chances, and twists you'll never see coming. Your brother's best friend is absolutely off-limits, but rules were made to be broken.

Book excerpt: There are times when only a polar bear will do . . . When Joe’s parents told him the family would be moving, Joe took it in stride. Moving to a new house would be an adventure, nothing to worry about, right? But then they dropped the bomb: they weren’t simply moving to a different house down the road, or even one in the same town. No, they were moving to a new country! They urge Joe to make new friends and try to fit in, not seeming to understand that Joe doesn’t want new friends—he just wants his old friends. His friends back home already love and accept him for who he is (wheelchair, bad jokes, and all!). Who would want to start over? At the airport, Joe’s suitcase goes missing, and he is sent home with a giant, friendly, funny polar bear instead. Mister P. will be Joe’s new friend, even though Joe isn’t quite sure how the two of them will pull this off. What could a polar bear and a kid have in common?
