If you want three books for one
Mar 16, 2025 6:42 pm
Hello ,
This week I had the great pleasure and good fortune to experience the kind and generous side of humanity. Nothing like the kindness of an old friend and a former classmate (thank you Dottie & Richard!) and the kindness of a complete stranger (thank you tow truck driver!) to uplift your mood and your soul.💜
I shared the details on FB if you want to read about them here.
But the short story is that I got a flat tire, fortuitously right in front of the house of an old classmate who helped me, and the tow truck driver kindly dragged my car around to two different tire places--free of charge--to help me get a new tire.
Then I heard from a friend I haven’t seen in years who took the time to send me a note congratulating me on my success as an author. She’d been there back when it was just a dream and saw first-hand all the effort and time it took. Her kind words melted my heart.💜
Sorry for the rambling--I meant to keep it short, but I wanted to share this truth
a small kindness can have a big impact on a person💜
Have you had a moment when kindness impacted you recently? Please share! ❤

Still, it'll look gorgeous and be a pleasure to take a shower in the newly designed shower... some day...
In the meantime, I am writing and plotting Lucky Puck. You can see my slow progress below.

Stephanie Queen’s Featured Authors
Offensive Holding - Ella Haines
A stripper. A football player. Finding solace amidst the shadows.
Chloe—the heroine—is Rose’s best friend, a "little sister" of sorts. Their incredible friendship plays a big role in that story, and many readers wanted to learn more about Rose and Brandon’s history… so here it is!
Consider this novella a bite-sized peek into Rose and Brandon’s journey, full of the themes and emotional depth you can expect from my longer works, but condensed into a SparkNotes-style snapshot for this freebie. I hope it gives you the perfect taste of my storytelling style while diving into the emotional backstory that shaped Rose and Chloe’s unbreakable bond.

Bad Boy Billionaire Protector - Eva Becker
“You make me want to get into so much trouble.”
Overcome by reckless desire, I slept with a girl who is part of my investigation.
I let my heart get involved, broke my professional code of ethics, and never looked back.
My cover mirrors reality as I pretend to be a filthy rich playboy grad student.
In order to protect Amber, I can’t divulge that I am an undercover FBI Agent.
She’s a target for the psychopath I’m determined to take down.
Grieving after losing her college boyfriend, she's scared to love again.
He was her first love and best friend…and my main informant.
But there is no doubt in my mind I will be her last.
Her sultry gaze and captivating curves draw me in like an addict.
Her velvety lips and sweet taste make me crave her more.
There are no words to describe the pleasure I feel when I sink into her lavish body.
Guilt plagues my thoughts, but desire rages hot within my core.
She has no idea to the extent I’ve betrayed her in order to claim her for my own.
Lying about being an FBI agent will be the easiest part for her to swallow.
But it’s a risk I’m willing to take if it means waking up to her every day for the rest of my life.

Pucking Dirty - Nichole Rose
He'll break every rule in the book to claim his coach's daughter.
Nash Whatley
Coach had two rules when I joined the team: Keep my name out of the press, and don't even think about touching his daughter. The first one? Easy. I'm not some rookie with a chip on my shoulder. The second one? Complicated.
Emilia Lariat might just be the thing I've been missing. But this sassy little minx thinks she can hide what we are together. We'll see how easy that is when I've got her bent over every flat surface in this arena.
She wants to play? That's fine. But I came to win, and not even her father will stop me.
Emilia Lariat
When my father told me to meet him in the locker room, the sausage-fest I walked in on wasn't what he had in mind. Now, I know what his entire roster looks like naked. Puck bunnies would kill to be me right now…and I'd kill to burn the image from my brain.
Thank God for Nash Whatley, my savior in skates. From the minute the growly giant drags me out of the locker room with his hands over my eyes, he's got my head and heart all messed up.
He's the last person I should be sneaking around with…but the second he touches me, I forget exactly what we're risking. I forget everything but his name.
Right up until my dad finds out, anyway…

How to Seduce Your Wife - Day LeClaire
Six sexy Italian-American brothers, ready to win their soul mates. The Salvatore Brothers will charm, tempt, seduce … or even wed and bed. Whatever it takes!
HOW TO: Seduce Your Wife is Book #5 in The Salvatore Brothers Series, a contemporary romance series by USA Today bestselling author and eleven-time RITA© (Romance Writers of America) finalist, Day Leclaire. This story features a hot, take-charge alpha hero and the perfect woman for him, and a sizzling romance between soul mates.
Brand Salvatore has zero interest in finding love again but when Toni, his five-year-old daughter, retreats further and further into a fantasy world, he realizes he’s caught between a rock and a hard place. He needs a wife to help rescue his little girl.
He found passion with his late wife, Carina, and has no intention of experiencing that much drama ever again. What he wants is a plain, rational, practical woman willing to help raise his daughter. The Cinderella Ball offers the perfect opportunity to find calm, rational—not to mention—practical.
As beautiful and serene as her name, Mia Starr longs for one thing—a passionate, once-in-a-lifetime love affair. And she’s determined to find it at the Cinderella Ball. There she meets and tumbles head over heels for tough, remote Brand, a man she met six long years ago. A man who doesn’t remember her. She’s certain she can free the wounded “beast” from the ice-cold shell in which he’s encased himself.
Though Brand would never describe Mia as plain, she is the polar opposite of Carina. He demands a passionless relationship. She requests just one thing….
That her husband seduce and make love to her, allowing her to experience love and desire ... just for one night.
But will one night turn into every night?
