What do we know about our hero?

LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:


Howdy, y'all,


Let's get you a little more acquainted with our hero...



Meet Gareth "Stringer" Stringer - flanker for the Belfast Badgers, owner of one deeply judgmental cat named Ruck, and a man who has spent a decade making everyone laugh so hard nobody notices he's not actually fine.


He shows up with a charcuterie board and a drill, always ready to help, but underneath the backwards baseball cap and the schoolboy grin is a man carrying more than he lets on - and one woman he's never stopped loving quietly, from exactly the wrong distance.


He's funny. He's hot. And he's about to stop pretending he hasn't been noticing Clíodhna Morrigan for years.



And the preorder click: The Hooker and the Hangover.

Until next time,

Penalty Minutes by Skye McDonald


He's hockey's most feared enforcer. She's the former figure skater who's about to bring him to his knees.

Shawn Hayes has spent eighteen years making enemies on the ice. Scarred, surly, and notorious for his fists, he's never cared what anyone thinks of him. But suddenly, he’s traded to the Connecticut Commodores. Playing with a team who hates his guts.

With a teenage son he barely knows and a career that now depends on playing a different kind of hockey, the last thing Shawn needs is a beautiful skating coach telling him what to do.

Especially one he can't stop thinking about.

Holly Larsen walked away from competitive figure skating fifteen years ago and never looked back. Now she's coaching kids, rebuilding her life, and determined to leave her painful past where it belongs. Taking on hockey's most intimidating bad boy wasn't part of the plan.

Neither was discovering that he cooks. Or that he laughs. Or that, beneath all those scars, he is a hell of a father.

And when this big, gruff hockey player reluctantly lets her dance him across the rink, she can’t deny the chemistry is real. Alone in his kitchen, the tension finally explodes.

Just as their lives begin to fit together, Holly gets the chance to return to the skating world she swore she'd left behind. The opportunity could be huge. It could also crush the future neither of them has dared to talk about.

A steamy hockey romance with Beauty and the Beast vibes, a scarred and grumpy hero, a strong-willed heroine, unexpected fatherhood, found family, and a love story about knowing exactly who you are.



Frostbite Fever by Zee Irwin


All I want for Christmas is a place to hide. I get Maddox Alexander for a temporary roommate instead.

The Montana Frostbite's star center is rehabbing a wrecked shoulder at the ranch where I just landed my first real job as a nutritionist. He's twenty-four pounds over his playing weight and grumpy with everyone—except me.

But I never forgot how six years ago he was supposed to be my date to my sister's wedding. He walked out of the reception with another woman instead.

Now we're snowed in at my sister's empty mountain house. His pop-star ex just dropped an album with nine heartbreaking songs about him, and her fans and the news vans are combing the town like a mob out for blood.

He needs image control, and he needs a new girlfriend. I need him to eat a vegetable and help me keep my job.

So we strike a deal to be holidates for the season—complete with a list of rules on a napkin.

He eats the vegetables. He holds on tight while I drive the snowmobile too fast. He hears my ex make me cry and asks if I want him "dealt with." And he keeps me warm one night in front of the fire…

The problem? Maddox is my sister's husband's brother, and both our families land at this house for Christmas. Our holidate plan could be a real disaster.

Rule number five says nobody's heart gets involved. Too late.



Forbidden Play by Kristin Lee


NOELLE —
Rule #1: Don’t fall for your brother’s best friend.
Rule #2: Definitely don’t fake date him.
Rule #3: Absolutely don’t let him teach you how to be intimate when you barely know what you like.


Yeah... I’ve broken every rule.

Matt Stricker kisses like the kiss is the entire story.
He listens. He pays attention.
And oh, those smoldering eyes set my insides on fire.

And there’s one more rule I screwed up:
Rule #4: Don’t get pregnant.
Too late.

I’m having my ex’s baby.
Part of me wants to keep my secret tucked under the sheets
and let him keep teaching me what it feels like to be wanted—really wanted.

Once he knows for sure, will he keep pretending or walk away?

Stolen Rebel by Tracie Delaney and Lasairiona Lewis

She thought I was dead.

She thought she was safe.

She was wrong on both counts.

The Hooker and the Hangover by Lasairiona McMaster

Release Date 4th February 2027

Latharna Ravens Book 2

One drunken night. No strings. No consequences.

Clíodhna
I've spent my whole life being the reliable one, the steady one, the sensible one… the woman nobody looks twice at. Until a one-night-stand with my brother's best friend turned my life upside down.
Gareth Stringer collects women like trophies, and I refuse to become another story he tells over a pint. I devise a challenge designed to prove he'll walk away. Except Gareth has never been all that good at doing what he's supposed to.

Gareth
My career is hanging by a thread. One bad hit, one wrong move, and it could be my final game. And the woman I've wanted for years has finally given me a chance to outrun my playboy reputation.
Clíodhna Morrigan thinks she's testing whether I'll stick around, but what she doesn't know is I'm already fighting a battle that could destroy my future, my name... and us.
When the world decides who you are, sometimes the hardest thing to do is choose who you want to be.
But I've never walked away from a fight in my life-and I'm not starting now.
