So we put together an anthology to benefit the Ukrainian refugees
Heroes Fighting for a Cause
a Romance Anthology
Hello my romance reading friends--
I may be a romance author, but sometimes the real world invades my bubble and like all of us, I can't help being heartsick about the Ukrainian refugees.
When I woke up in the middle of the night three days ago full of angst, I knew I had to do something, couldn't stand by and do nothing.
So I called on my author friends and we did what authors do. We put together this romance anthology. ALL proceeds will go to benefit the Ukrainian refugees. We hope you will do what readers do and buy a copy to read and to help the cause.💜 Available for Pre-Order Now:

At SQ's House
We've been public skating at a rink this week--something I haven't done in years. I fell once trying to skate backwards but the impressive part is that I got back up! 💜
Meanwhile, renovations at the house are still speeding along! As promised, here's a photo of the kitchen with the new island. It'll never look this clean again!
Any projects going on at your house? How are you faring with construction?

Your Kiss Is On My List - a college hockey romance
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #2
#SNIPPET
Trey
She’s surpassed the beauty she was three years ago when I left for college and she’s gone straight to vavoom. A showstopper in every way. Her energy, her smile, her kickass body and her challenging intelligence. I’ve heard all about how successful she’s been in college broadcasting at NYU because my sister is her biggest cheerleader—right after she gets done cheering for me.
Pushing back from her, I clear my throat and search for the right thing to say, but it’s a long search because the first two things that come to mind are far from appropriate, like you look, feel and smell good enough to eat, or do you want to have my babies. Luckily, even with my dick starting to rise up and notice, it hasn’t taken over my brain yet and I still have enough sanity left to reel it in, to remember who she is. Danielle Innocent, with an emphasis on the Innocent. Right? But she’s older, looking like one of the coeds at SPU and fair game now, right? Wrong.
I need to remember that she made it clear all those years ago where I stand with her, behind a tall barbed wire fence in the friend zone.

What's up next:
Best Things In Life
a Second Chance College Hockey Romance
Years ago I made the choice to make hockey my number one priority.
That's why I let her go.
Now it's my senior year at St. Paul U and I'm touch-and-go to make the NHL draft, but I'm ready to bust my ass like never before to make it happen. I have to because I live and breathe hockey. It's everything.
Except there's one complication...
She's back--and she's with another guy. But not just any guy. A team mate. He lives with us at BMOC House.
And it hurts like hell to see him with her. Every single day.
So what am I going to do about it?
Do I double-down on hockey or do I throw away my dreams, break all the team rules and try to win her back?

Coming Soon…
He Has Charm - a Rom-Com Hockey Romance
He's the kind of man who charms you with more than a lazy smile, has more ripples in his muscles than the ocean and more confidence than a king--suggesting he's hiding all kinds of beefy charm.
He knows what you want, what kind of shoes you would knock over a bank to own, bakes your favorite cookies better than the bakery and has a genuine enjoyment of rom-com movies that's just unfair.
He knows how to make you laugh until you pee and how to make you melt from the inside out.
One lucky woman will capture this hotshot charmer’s heart some day...
But it's not going to be me. I can't even try for a slice of his beef.
An Agent and a hockey player do not mix. I have an ironclad rule.More importantly, the agency I work for has an iron-clad rule and I know there will be dire consequences if I break it.
No dating the clients.
No fooling around, not even flirting will be tolerated.
Well, damn. How am I supposed to do my job? My boss rolls his eyes. "Professional flirting doesn't count. No relationship with the clients that isn't a professional one. And Honey, if you do, it's a fireable offense."
He smirks. He's an ex-player—hockey that is—the most respected, most revered man in the NHL, and the best in the sports agent business.
If he fires me, I'm done. I may as well hang up my sign-on-the-dotted-line pen and get a job at Dunkin Donuts...
He Has Charm is set in the world of the Boston Brawlers hockey team. You'll see players from other stories drop in for fun, but this book can be read as a stand-alone. If you love hot hockey players with massive charm and a sense of humor, forbidden romance and a slow sizzling attraction with all the feels right up to the satisfying happy ending, you'll love this story! (Contains sex and language for mature audiences.)
