First things first: I need all y'all's help. If you're in my reader group on The Facebook you might have already seen that I have a poll running to help me come up with a name for the bookstore in my next hockey romance series.

If you're not in there, you might want to join, and if you are in there and haven't seen it, please go here to vote for your favorite name.

Thanks for all your well wishes, I'm definitely on the mend, but it's slow and frustrating AF. Honestly, y'all, I got a pretty bad dose of the 'Rona and I'm really not thrilled about it. I am not a graceful patient. My friends are all sick of me whining about it. Hell, I'm even sick of me whining about it. I'm really just over it and want my sense of taste and smell back!

That said - it was almost worth two weeks of being this sick to hang out with the one and only Lucy Score. (Almost!)

You guys - I almost peed my pants!

I knew she was going to be at the conference I was at in London, and when she walked right by me by herself with two empty cups I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't creating her with my mind. Then I introduced myself to her and we hydrated together LOL!

She is an absolute delight! We talked a little about this author biz life, she signed TWO books for me - which in itself is a whole other story. (Lucy's PA Joyce gave a copy of TWNGO to Lucy and Mr. Lucy to take to London for me because of an eff up with my Amazon order.)

And being the complete professional I am, I waited for her to leave before I burst into incoherent bursts of light, movement, and sound - namely really loud dolphin noises - and I bounced around the foyer like an Energizer bunny. My author friends said I was chill on the outside though, so hopefully Lucy had no idea that my friends were taking bets on whether I'd pee at her feet or not.

It was soooo freakin' cool meeting her, and her interview at the conference was inspirational. How is this my life, y'all?!

One last thing before I sign off for the next fortnight, it's my first official newsletter of the month, which means - FREE SPORTS ROMANCE TIME! Again, if you're in my group - don't forget to look out for Savannah's Bookaneers Bookclub posts for you to join in the discussion on our monthly reads.

Book one of the London Legends

Professional rugby player Spencer Bailey is fully focused on his game during rugby season. With his last chance at being selected for the upcoming World Cup, he can’t afford the kind of tabloid scandal that nearly derailed his career eleven years ago. But rugby season hasn’t started yet, and Spencer’s looking for an easy-breezy hook-up with a woman who knows the relationship will end when the season begins. Caitlyn Sweeny, the curvy American with the temporary visa, may be the perfect temporary lover.

Caitlyn works for a humanitarian organization and has helped people survive some of the world’s worst disasters. She’s ready to tackle any crisis—except her disastrous love life. Her deep fear of intimacy forbids anyone from getting too close. But Spencer’s hot body and compassionate nature ignite an unexpected fire in Caitlyn. She’s only in London for a short while. Can she learn to let loose, without losing her heart?

Caitlyn and Spencer are falling for each other fast, but their relationship has an expiration date. When past secrets surface, the old rules of the game no longer apply. When it comes to love, neither one knows the score. Are they ready to tackle the new challenges together?

Happy reading!

On paper, all-American boy next door, Lincoln Scott, has it all. But behind his slap shots, straight-A report card, and easy going charm, Linc hides a secret only his best friend knows.

When he attempts to return a misplaced bra, a wrong number gets him way more than the hook-up he bargained for. No one has ever looked beyond the star hockey player, until the mysterious woman he can’t stop texting sees him for who he really is.

Does Linc have the skills off the ice to keep up with her? Will he follow in his father’s footsteps? Or will he step out from the shadows and chase his dreams?

If you’re pucking obsessed with Helena Hunting, Pippa Grant, and Elle Kennedy, you’ll love this hilarious, hot-as-puck, secret identity, opposites attract, curvy girl sports romance. Two for Interference is a full length standalone with no cheating, cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
