One last peek at Beachcomber Christmas Miracle
Hello my romance reading friends,
Is it okay if I took a brief holiday from reading (and writing) romance for one day only? How about you? Do you take breaks from your reading?
Sometimes it's good to mix things up. Like writing a romantic thriller holiday novella for the Beachcomber Investigations series in the middle of dozens of sports romance novels! That would be my next book coming your way.
See your final excerpt before the release of Beachcomber Christmas Miracle on December 11th BELOW!

My other son is still out in Vegas but I think he'll make it back for Christmas so I'm trying to stay on the good-girl list to get my wish for him to come home. Wish me luck! (Hopefully Santa doesn't read sports romance or I'm definitely going on the naughty list! Lol!)
To max out our family fun, today we're making our own pizza (when I say we, I mean my husband, the chief pizza-maker in the family) to go with watching all football all day. All three of us will enjoy that! 🏈💜
The photo has nothing to do with this week or my house, but it is about family--of a different kind and the value of staying connected and creating memories.
This was the state championship high school hockey team that my father coached. He's second from the left in the first row. The photo was taken the year they were inducted into the school's sports hall of fame. It was also the year my father passed away.
That day the guys each talked about how my father made them feel like more than players on his team with the extra effort he put in, about the funny and sad memories, the life lessons learned and bond they shared.
We all felt very lucky to have that occasion, another special memory of my father. Miss him. 💜
Do you have a family-like group that you belong to?

Final Excerpt from Beachcomber Christmas Miracle
“What kind of skills?” Dane asked.
“Internet.” Toly turned to Acer. “She could rival your friend here with her hacking skills. But don’t worry, she only uses them for good.”
“Such as?” Dane asked in spite of the mad thumping of his heart.
“Such as keeping track of her ex’s bank account to make sure he’s not squandering his money. If he’s spending on anything fishy, she’ll know.”
“Good. Call her. Now.” Dane took Toly’s phone from his jacket pocket and handed it to him. They were standing in the front hall outside the library, so when the front door crashed open, they all turned at once. And every one of them, even Senator Peter John Douglas, crouched for cover and pulled a gun.
Unfortunately for them, the new State Police Chief on Martha’s Vineyard, tall and scowling was the intruder. Dane muttered a few curses that he would never say in front of Katy or Colt. The stab of pain almost penetrated his steely resolve to fix this, to do his job.
The new Chief and his two sidekicks rushed inside the entry hall barking orders for Dane and his friends to stand down. After a lot of shouting about who was who, thanks to Peter’s status as U.S. Senator, the new police chief calmed down and rescinded his instructions to cuff them all—not that they could have accomplished it if Dane didn’t want them to because the officers were seriously out-numbered and out-skilled. In fact, Dane figured they were all lucky no one got killed.
He gave up his glock and the others followed suit. They put their firearms on a serving tray in the foyer. Peter, Acer, Ronnie, Sassy, Shana and even Cap were all forced to relinquish their guns. This new guy gave no quarters to a fellow officer, his own predecessor. The man was ten years Caps junior and arrogant enough to qualify as insecure and likely intimidated by Cap and the rest of them.
In the meantime, the commotion in the foyer served to completely silence the former party-goers in the ballroom behind them. Dane glanced back to see that they were suitably horrified. He didn’t see anyone behaving suspiciously and he watched hard for a few beats to make sure.
Dane looked at his wristwatch and was acutely aware of time ticking and the need to act. Problem was they had no idea where to go from here, not even a hunch. They had nothing until they heard back from either Toly’s lieutenant or his daughter with the alleged crazy internet skills.
“Captain Lynch,” The new police chief said. “What the hell is going on here?”

He Has Game
"I like having the naive girl, and the nonchalant f-boy. You start, to see she's a little bit naughty, and he’s all, too nice, enough to melt you. Mary is, a trip. Put her together with, Caro, oh boy!."

I never meant to be a groupie, but it's all a matter of opinion, isn't it?
But nothing, not even my grumpy old brother-in-law who plays for the Brawlers is going to stop me from making my hockey god dreams come true.
There's an irresistibly juicy hunk of a man on that team and I want a night with him, the kind to end all nights...
How was I to know that night could change the rest of my life in more than the usual way...
