At SQ's House

This week I went to a baby shower! Awww. There was a decorate-the-baby-building-block-competition and... I did NOT win. My friend who is an actual legit artist won. Natch. The mother-to-be is a good friend's daughter and the baby will be the first grandchild. Here's the mom-to-be opening my gift. (My sister made the blanket and I swear I didn't take credit!) ➜➜➜➜

In the meantime, I haven't done much else because I'm glued to my computer writing The Groupie. Although I admit, I've had the Celtics NBA playoff games on TV in the background... #slightcheat. 🏀 💜

Anyone else welcoming babies into the world?

Please do share!

WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT!

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

from He Has It All

Ryan O'Rourke

“Look Chelsea, I don’t want you to get the wrong impression.”

Reaching over, she grabs hold of my thick cock and laughs. I’m stunned into silence as my cock responds with a surge of hallelujah.

“Oh, I have the right impression, all right.”

Pulling her hand off me before I crash the car, my nerves spike and my heart goes into that excited rhythm, the one that anticipates sex, sending all the blood to my greedy cock and leaving me almost dizzy with want.

Even though she let me remove her hand from my cock, she’s still leaning close, still hot, the scent of her crowding out what little thinking ability I have left. Belatedly I realize I never should have trapped myself with her in the intimate confines of a car. Fuck me.

I should have more self-control than this. I do have more self-control. Get a grip, O’Rourke.

SQ Books Featured Review

"Quite hilarious - I really enjoyed this book. I almost always find a quote I absolutely love and I found two in this book: 'Lust-honey? Oh my God, I’m going to Hell.' & 'But then I realize I don’t need to figure out how to answer him; I need to give him my honest answer, regardless of how I think he’ll react.' "

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #:

THE GROUPIE - a hockey rom-com

Zack

“Buttercup… you with me?”

“I… let me catch my breath.” She’s struggling to speak and that brings a grin to stretch my mouth wide. “So tell me why you called?” she finally asks.

“To check up on you. How’s Mamma?”

She takes another deep breath. So do I.

“She quit smoking like the doctor ordered so we had to hide the kitchen knives for fear of our lives.”

“Put her in a bad mood, did it?”

She snorts. “I can handle it.”

 “What are you doing tomorrow?”

“I’m busy.”

“Tomorrow night?”

“Still busy.”

“You sure you can’t squeeze me in—so to speak?” I refuse to be discouraged, not after tonight.

She groans and I picture her eyeroll. “I’m going shopping with Suzie to buy some things for the house and then Mamma’s making us a big dinner.” She pauses and lowers her voice. “I want to spend time with her.”

Shit. “Of course. I get it.”

“Maybe the day after tomorrow.”

“That’ll leave us only a week and two days.”

She laughs. Predictably. “I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

“I have a game that night. Come to it and we’ll disappear afterwards.”

“I’ll go to your little game, but not the executive suite. I’ll blend in better with the regular crowd.”

“How’s your ankle?”

There’s a pause and my gut sinks. Not a good sign. She answers me after another beat.

“The same. I think I have to make that doctor appointment.”

“When is it? I’ll come with you.”

She laughs again and I frown at the phone. “What?”

“It’s not like you can help or change the outcome, killer.”

“You’ve never heard of moral support?”

“Suit yourself. I’ll keep you posted.” She pauses again. “But Zak, don’t start thinking like this is a relationship.”

“One week and two days. Got it.”

“Good.” She ends the call and I toss my phone.

The BIG Puck - a single dad hockey romance

Portsmouth Whalers: a hockey romance series

Sometimes you gotta just suck it up and put up with a girl--or two--who drive you crazy...

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…

Stephanie Queen’s Featured Authors

Forbidden Devil - Melissa Ivers

Rule number one of hockey team ownership: don't sleep with the players. 

Growing up Oliver Benson's daughter, I've known this rule all my life. And when I unexpectedly inherit the Nashville Devils, his hockey team, all eyes are on me--waiting for me to fail.

My eyes?

They're on Lincoln Dallas, team captain and star right winger.

Who could blame me? That body. Those eyes. The way he moves on and off the ice. And when he gives me even the slightest touch, I find myself giving in.

But he's completely forbidden.

Not only would dating destroy both our careers, but our history left a bruise on my heart, and I never want to make that mistake again. Especially when it would compromise everything I've worked for.

He says he's willing to break the rules and risk it all.

Am I?

Forbidden Devil is a laugh out loud, pucking steamy, second chance, off-limits, office sports romance. This book is a full-length standalone with no cheating, cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Neutral Zone - Teagan Hunter

To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.

To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.

And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

No matter how badly I want her, I can’t have her. Because the woman I love watching so much? The one I might be slowly falling for?

She’s not just some stranger on the internet. It’s Rosie, the woman who serves me coffee and donuts every morning.

And she has no clue it’s me.

NEUTRAL ZONE is a standalone sports romance novel. It features a hot, toothless hockey player, a curvy woman who is confident in her body, lots of fun banter, and STEAM!
