At SQ's House -
I went to a farewell dinner this weekend. A woman I've known since high school, a fixture in my childhood neighborhood where my mother still lives, is moving away. Dinner was bittersweet. We were all taken aback by how much time has passed and how much we've taken each other for granted. For people who've been in your life for a long time, in the background, but always there, it's easy to feel like they will be there forever.
Now, well, there's one less door I can knock on, one less friendly face around, one more change in life that we forgot was was not a constant.
Moral of the story: cherish the people and be mindful that even the fixtures don't last forever.
What Am I Reading? This week I'm listening to The Trouble with You by L.A. Cotton, a high school football bully romance with great characters and an expertly woven plot.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT & New Cover!
BAD MAN ON CAMPUS
a Second Chance Hockey Romance
“My mom still blames you. Still thinks of you as a murderer.” He rasps the words without any sugarcoating. I shiver in spite of his hands on me. “Sorry, sunshine.” He takes me fully in his arms for a true hug that feels like three years-worth of consolation.
He used to call me sunshine—Glory Sunshine--as if it was my last name. I would tease and say what’s wrong with Glory Rose and he’d say he was allergic to roses. I never knew if he was kidding or not. Maybe he really is allergic. I should know this. But I don’t want to know, never did, as if his allergy to roses might be a harbinger for our relationship.
Maybe it was.
But here we are now, in his room, me in his arms, trying like hell to stay in the moment with him, to not let my guilty soul encroach. I tighten my arms around him, concentrate on the hard muscles of his back under my hands, his heat, his solidness, that scent of maple, spice and man sweat, Kace’s special brand. It swirls around and I breathe him in, losing myself in the moment, drowning in the sensual heaven of it.
Then the sound of a the front door opening and closing crashes through everything. We both hear it. Kace loosens his hold and looks up.
“Fuck,” he says. “Who the hell is that?”
I’m hoping it’s the housekeeper as he slips on some sneakers and goes to his door. But the mystery is solved with the sound of her voice calling up stairs.
“Kace? Are you up yet? I want to take you to brunch honey. We need to catch up.”
“Holy fucking hell,” he says in a half whisper, looking at me, his face a shade paler than it was a second ago.
It's his mom...

Falling for My Fling by Dakota Davies
Does every first love deserve a second chance?
Six years ago, my world imploded and the only way to protect the girl of my dreams was to break our pact and set her free.
Though I’ve settled into my new role as a single dad and firefighter, I’ve never forgotten Lori’s bright smile, her determination, the crazy, reckless love we shared night after night that summer. So when a twist of fate brings her back to Penny Creek, I’m hell bent on winning her back. Turns out I can still make her blush, she’s still full of surprises, and our chemistry is hotter than ever.
But she’s made it clear that in two weeks, she’ll be returning to the life she left behind without me. Suddenly, I’m in a race against time to get her to stay. And just when I think we’ve scored our second chance, our pasts come back to push us apart once more.
Can I fight hard enough to keep her this time?
