Synopsis (Goodreads):
To say that Stevie was having a bad day when she and Bishop first met would be an understatement. She managed to have a front row seat to her (now ex-)boyfriend banging someone who wasn't her ON HER BIRTHDAY. That's seriously awful. I mean, it would be awful no matter what, but on a person's birthday is just THE WORST. Throw in a new neighbor who is just terrible to her on their first meeting and you can see how things started out wrong.
Bishop is kind of in a class of his own, as it is. He kind of has a low-key beef with Stevie's brother for stealing the captainship of the team out from under him and he's not the most sociable person on the best of days. He immediately jumps to all the wrong conclusions about Stevie and it takes a while to untangle his thinking and realize she's not homewrecker he thought she was.
Plus, you know, it's even more complicated because he has a thing for her and he doesn't want to have a thing for her because she's his low-key rival's little sister and THAT'S sort of a recipe for disaster unto itself.
Anywho. Neighbors who poke and rile one another while trying to pretend it's for reasons other than the steam and heat between them. GOOD STUFF!
(Also, Stevie's ex is a jerrrrrrrrkface. So yuck. So very, very yuck.)

Synopsis (Goodreads):
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love.Thoughts on A Favor for a Favor: OHMIGAWD. Bishop and Stevie DO NOT start out on the right foot. He thinks she's some sort of homewrecking puck bunny and she thinks he's an exhibitionist jerk. To be fair, the exhibitionist part isn't entirely wrong, but everything else pretty much is.
When I joined Seattle’s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain’s apartment. Did I mention that he’s married to a woman who definitely was not her?
Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she’s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she’s not the captain’s mistress. She’s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister.
So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn’t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.
To say that Stevie was having a bad day when she and Bishop first met would be an understatement. She managed to have a front row seat to her (now ex-)boyfriend banging someone who wasn't her ON HER BIRTHDAY. That's seriously awful. I mean, it would be awful no matter what, but on a person's birthday is just THE WORST. Throw in a new neighbor who is just terrible to her on their first meeting and you can see how things started out wrong.
