Exclusive Excerpt #1: The One Timer

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

My voice is finally coming back! Yay!

Also, I'm finally gaining some steam (pun intended) on writing my work-in-progress, The One Timer. Having the heroine's name has helped a lot!

I find I'm leaning into the Cinderella trope--only a modernized version where my heroine, Emery has some sass and an independent streak a mile wide.

Are you good with the Cinderella trope? I'll take it easy.

Don't worry, Emery won't be talking to forest animals...

This week I lost my Kitty who I've had for 13 years and it made me very sad. I almost didn't want to say anything, but she deserves the acknowledgement because she was adorable and well loved every minute we had her.☹️ 🧡➜➜➜➜➜➜

In more upbeat news, I got just enough of my voice back to attend the Fall in Love New England Romance Reader Conference in nearby Massachusetts on Friday and Saturday.

The best part was catching up with old friends, meeting new authors and readers. (Plus it took my mind off Kitty.)

I did more listening than talking, but that's a good thing when you're in a room full of professional story tellers!💜

In the meantime, THANK YOU to those of you who wrote to me about how to help treat my laryngitis. Hot tea with honey was my go to, and also pineapples! I'm on the mend now thanks to your kindness.

Your thoughtful notes made me smile and I'm sure that did more to cure me than anything 💜😘

My diet, you ask? I've now lost 8lbs since I got sick--the gold lining. I plan to go back to the gym any minute now...

My favorite review of the week!

The Do-Over Girl - a hockey rom-com

"Second chance amazingness! This is an awesome second chance love and life story. Nash and Kali both needed a do-over in their work lives and love lives. I really enjoyed the way they came back together. The chemistry is off the charts, and the love/hate they share is written so good. I couldn’t put this baby down and I didn’t want to. The way things fell into place felt so real and raw. It was what kept me so drawn in. Stephanie is amazing and I can’t wait to read her next book! 😍"

THE ONE TIMER

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #1

Chase

“And you are?”

Her smile disappears faster than a tray of steaks at a hockey barbeque. But I wait her out, watching the crazy workings of her mind play out on her face clear as ice. Worry, hope, longing, more worry.

“Look,” I finally say.

At the same time, she blurts out, “Emery.” Then stops. 

I wait for more. We stare at each other. Seconds tick by and I continue staring like I’m in a deep hypnotic state, rendered mute by the gorgeous girl and she… looks more than worried. Like she’s holding her breath waiting for me to slap the cuffs on her for some kind of crime.

My mind latches onto the cuffs—and then I drag myself back to reality. There will be no handcuffs. Since when am I into BDSM anyway? Fuck. Maybe it’s the overwhelming sensuality of this woman leading my mind—and other body parts—all kinds of places.

“Who are you?” I murmur the words as they surface to the top of the trashy heap that comprises my filthy thoughts. They’re the only words that can be said aloud and not get me slapped.

She replies in a rush, like she’s been waiting to tell me and can’t hold back. “I’m a banker. I mean, I work in a bank and my boss had these tickets he wasn’t using and so, because it’s my birthday I took them and it was last minute so my best friend couldn’t come with me but she got me this shirt to wear because she’s a wildly generous and thoughtful friend and here I am.” She heaves a breath and I watch her breasts rise and fall, straining the birthday t-shirt to within a thread of its capacity.

Then I realize she’s wearing my fucking number.

Shit. I have trouble tearing my eyes away from number eighteen spread across her chest, taunting me until I want to take an actual fucking bite out of—

“Are you alright?”

I snap my eyes to her face. The concern in her expression transforms her from gorgeous to… something more. Whatever the hell that is. My heart goes into what has to be unhealthy palpitations as if I’m looking at a fucking vision. As if I should be afraid.

Maybe I am afraid. Or, correction, everything except my dick is afraid.

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

from Big Man on Campus

Jack

“Get in the shower, Princess.” She takes a last glance at my cock, licking her lips, and climbs in. My cock bounces and strains. I hold it, resisting the urge to stroke myself as I follow her in and close the frosted glass door, a relic from another generation, behind me. Patience. 

Reaching behind her, I turn on the spray and she jumps. Right into my arms, sandwiching my swollen cock between us, against her belly. I groan and press myself closer, so fucking horny. Pushing back, she grabs the bottle of soap and pumps some into her hand.

“Let me lather you,” she says, putting her soapy hands on my chest and moving them down my rib cage.

“Keep going, Princess. Don’t stop until you have your lips wrapped around my cock.”

“My lips?”

“You want to and we both know it.”

She gives me a smile like she wants to eat me alive and I know I’ve accomplished my mission to make her want me as desperately as I want her. She’s right there crazy in lust with me now. 

As she lowers to her knees and licks the tip of my cock I want to howl and beat my chest. But the way she sends a wave of preorgasmic tension through me, I’m lucky my knees don’t buckle. I put a hand on her head and encourage her to take more of me as she slides her mouth down my shaft until she gags. My cock jolts with pleasure and I pull her off me.

“You okay, Joni?”

She looks up at me, water splashing on her face. “I’m in heaven.”

Now I want to pull her to her feet and kiss her, but she goes down on me again and this time there’s no testing or teasing. With her hands holding my balls and her mouth pumping and licking my cock, sucking on the tip, she

a fake relationship billionaire accidental pregnancy hockey rom-com

Sabien

What does a billionaire hockey player and a clueless dog walker have in common?

Besides my dog, we both enjoyed spending one hot night burning up the sheets.

And we both need something desperately enough to strike a deal.

Possibly the stupidest deal ever imagined according to my lawyer.

But once it's done, we're in bed together--literally--for the duration of the season.

The one rule is that we agree to part ways cleanly at the end of the contract. My lawyer insists.

No contact allowed.

No matter what...

Tricky Puck - a fake fiancee hockey rom-com

I'd never heard of a real life matchmaker before, but grandma insists on introducing me to one and makes sure it's really real when she tells me I'm her matchmaker's new client...

Normally, I'd do anything for grandma, but this is a big ask.

I'm not ready to settle down. Not even close. I'm only twenty-five and a rising star in the NHL - otherwise known as a chick-magnet.

After all the hard work and focus I've put in to get to this point, I've barely begun to have fun. No way am I going along with the matchmaking plan.

Sure.

That attitude changes fast when grandma informs me her clock is ticking and her time's almost up.

And her dying wish is to see me settled down with a nice young woman.

Shit.

She goes on about babies, but my mind is spinning with the knowledge that I have no choice. I need to go along with this matchmaking deal for grandma.

Unless I can come up with a way to give her the comfort she wants, the illusion that I'm settled down--without actually settling down...
