Only One Books in Order

The Only One series is Natasha Madison’s love letter to a single NHL franchise and everyone whose lives are tangled up with it. Centered on the Dallas Oilers, the books follow players, coaches, owners, and the people who love them as trades, championships, and real-life crises crash into their personal lives.

The series begins with Only One Kiss, where Ralph, a veteran player newly traded to Dallas, is reeling from loss and sudden single fatherhood. His career is thriving, but he barely has time to sleep, let alone navigate public expectations. Candace, a social media manager already handling dozens of hockey clients, reluctantly takes him on and quickly finds herself falling for the man behind the stats and the baby girl on his hip.

Only One Chance turns to Miller, the so-called pretty boy of the league, whose idea of donating a date to charity backfires when the woman who has always dismissed him ends up winning. Layla’s rule about never dating athletes was supposed to protect her career and her heart, but a single evening with Miller makes that rule harder to keep. In Only One Night, Manning, the team captain trapped in a marriage of convenience, has a one-night encounter that comes back to haunt him when he runs into Evelyn again—with his wife at his side and her nephew on his team.

Only One Touch follows Nico, the young team owner determined to drag the Oilers from the bottom of the standings to the top. Becca, a high-powered sports agent with a "never let them see you sweat" mantra, is the last person he expects to fall for. Only One Regret explores the line between friendship and love when Cooper, a single dad and star player, crosses a line with Erika, the agent who has been in his corner for years.

Later books like Only One Mistake, Only One Love, and Only One Forever deepen the sense of family around the team, bringing in next-generation characters and offering epilogue-style payoffs for earlier couples. Across the series you’ll find locker-room humor, game-day adrenaline, road-trip hijinks, and a lot of scenes that end in the kitchen with entire friend groups crowded around a table.

You can jump in almost anywhere, but reading in order lets you see careers rise, friendships deepen, and kids grow up in the background. If you like your sports romance to feel like one long, interconnected season—with big emotions, big wins, and just as many off-ice moments as on-ice—this is the series to start with.
