At SQ's House
This week we've been watching the NBA playoffs 🏀 every night. Unfortunately my team, the Boston Celtics have not done well. Not sure what that's all about, but Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are sizzling HOT!🔥🔥🔥 Kind of like a heat level 5 romance novel.
In the meantime, our book club plans to see the new movie, Book Club: Next Chapter. I hear it's funny and features women of a certain age--my kind of movie! Lol! Have you seen it? ➜➜➜➜
Finishing up THE GROUPIE took a lot of my time and energy this week, getting all the little things done, like arranging book swaps, setting up the bonus epilogue for download, creating TikTok videos, formatting the manuscript--all the boring behind the scenes parts of the writer's life that make it so... un-glamorous. (In case you were wondering why I don't talk about all those day-to-day-details. 💜
If you have a question about the writer's life, please let me know and I'll be happy to answer it here!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I know I say this all the time, but it's true!
I'd truly love a chance to get to know you better and would love you to join my Facebook group so we can do that. I share draft covers with the group for your opinion. We talk about thoughts on romance books and whatever fun or funny things we want to share. I also have occasional contests and giveaways and make ARCs available. Please consider joining me and the team.💜

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥
from THE GROUPIE
Zak
But it’s the sound of her moan into my mouth as she nibbles and devours me like a woman deprived too long that destroys me. My brain stops, and I lift her off her feet, sweeping her into my arms and stomping down the hall to the last door. Banging it open with one foot, I carry her into my bedroom and slam the door behind us with the other foot.
The look in her eyes stutters my heart because she looks like an animal hungrier than I am, and I would have thought that was impossible. Her hair brushes against my cheek, soft and smelling sweet and exotic and fucking irresistible. I swear her scent alone makes my cock twitch.
“You’re as strong as you look.” Her breathy words make my head buzz. She runs a hand through my hair, giving me chills while I bring her to the bed. I stare at her glazed eyes and then her lips. They look like they’ve been bitten because they have, and I’ve never seen anything sexier in my life.
“Stronger.” My voice quivers, and my eyes don’t leave hers as I lower her. “Do you want to undress yourself, or do you want me to do it?” My heart races, but I pause a beat to watch her reaction.
If I was worried about her having second thoughts, I didn’t need to. Her eyes go dark, and one corner of her mouth lifts in a tiny curve, the kind that almost makes my knees buckle with need. I hold back a growl. A fucking growl.
Instead, I heave a deep breath. “I have to warn you, if I undress you, your clothes may be shredded.”

HERE's THE LINK FOR THE BONUS EPILOGUE!
What happens when a one-night-stand turns into a whole complicated mess including secret identities and a list of rules meant to be broken...
The only thing Rylee and Zak have in common is one hot night and a penchant to avoid complicated relationships.
But keeping their distance forces a charade and secrets pile up.
As the ticking clock counts down to the self-imposed expiration of their fling, they find themselves embroiled in a hot mess so deep that it gets harder and harder to keep pretending there's no relationship to see here.
The facts are:
- She’s intense. He’s easy going.
- She’s biting and edgy. He’s a joker.
- She wants to make a boatload of money. He loves hockey so much he would play for free.
- She loves men. He loves women.
He falls first and harder...
The Groupie, a Boston Brawlers Hockey Spin-off, is the second book in the Some Girls Like It Cold Series. It can be read as a stand-alone. This story about a one-night-stand gone wrong, has plenty of edge with a dash of humor where the hunky guy falls first and gets the reluctant dream girl against massive odds for a deeply satisfying HEA Ending! (duh!)
(Warning: language and sex for a mature audience.)

The good news is I was recently named head coach of the Portsmouth Whalers.
The youngest coach in the NHL for the newest expansion team.
The bad news is I found out my half-brother recently committed suicide and left me with a mountain of debt—and his baby daughter.
My Aunt Hildie promises to come live with me in to help me take care of the little bundle, but not until after her hip surgery heals.
So I show up on the first day of practice with a stroller full of trouble.
Lucky for me--and luckier for the kid--the sister of one of my players is there, and she offers to help me out.
It’s only for a month. What could go wrong?
She’s laid-back.and I'm an in-charge type.
(Read: I'm grumpy and she's sunshine.)
She loves kids and I don’t know what to do with the little girl.
She teaches me.
My girlfriend objects…

Can a girl go back to high school to find the hockey star who got away and expect a do-over of her big fat romance gone wrong?
Find out in this hilarious non-time-traveling take on 17 Again meets Welcome Back Kotter set at an exclusive prep school and featuring a former cheerleader turned teacher and ex-hockey player turned coach.
This story is for all of us who have regrets about that high school sweetheart we lost when he disappeared into his new life after graduation. We went our separate ways because we were too young and foolish to know back then what a good thing we had...

She proves them all wrong when she goes back and erases all her regrets, turning them into star dust, spun gold, flying unicorns and a big fat happy ever after. Laugh, cry and get a zing of sizzling excitement when you read this story!

Stephanie Queen’s Featured Authors
My Neighbor's Body Check - Jenny Redford
Can a hockey star score a win with his neighbor's heart?
Rose Bishop is one of those New Yorkers who prides herself on not getting starry eyed by every celebrity who crosses her path. Well, except for Dallas Riley, hockey player for the New York Steam. He's hot and rides the same subway she does. How could she not get a little giddy about that?
He's also the man who accidentally fell asleep on her shoulder. She broke her own rules and called him out by name so he wouldn't miss his stop. But when he rewards her with the best burgers in Brooklyn, she wonders if he's going to break her heart.
My Neighbor's Body Check is a steamy hockey romance with a napping athlete on the subway and the woman who may get rewarded for saving him.

Sacrilege - Beck Knight & others
Corruption. Sin. Greed. Temptation.
Nothing is sacred.
Not the priest who looks at you with hunger etched into his rugged face. Not the nun who hides her secrets in the scars on her arms. Definitely not the theology professor who keeps his student long after class is over.
A different kind of worship. A wicked type of praise. A devil's paradise and an angel's ruin.
Get on your knees, but don't bother calling out to Him.
No one can save you from sin.
Featuring stories from:
Beck Knight | Delaney Dare | C. Hallman | Hayden Locke | Ella Kade
Teegan Wylde | J.S. Mercier | S.J. Ransom | R.A. Smyth | Amber Nicole
Lola King | Sienna Varrone | Mika Lane | Shanjida Nusrath Ali
