Hello ,
Frist, let me welcome all the new romance book lovers joining us from BookSweeps! You're coming aboard at a great time!
The Stephanie Queen Romance Books Shopify Store is open now! โค
And I'm featuring several fantastic DEALS and COUPONS!
It's taken a while and not all my books are available at my store yet because I've kept some of them in Kindle Unlimited--which means they are restricted to availability on Amazon-only per their terms of service.
All the books at my store are sold for less than everywhere else!
Books available at my store so far include
- Beachcomber Investigations romantic thriller series (17 ebooks)
- Big Men on Campus college sports romance series (4 ebooks)
- The Cheerleader (including the Bespoke Edition)
- Lucky Puck hockey rom-com Exclusive pre-order!
P.S. Because you've been so patient, I'm throwing in a second coupon!๐
Check out all the Coupons & Deals at my shop! Details below โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Here are the Book Plates that arrived last week (and I forgot to include the pic in last week's newsletter!) โโโ
If you'd like an autographed bookplate for one of your books, drop me a line and let me know. I don't have them set up on my store yet (that's another story!) but I'll make arrangements with you.๐

At SQ's House
My alma mater UConn's women's basketball team WON the NCAA championship last Sunday night! ๐ This pic is the son of one of my old college cheering buddies at the game going for super fan on the Jumbotron! โโโ
I would have included this news last week, but I sent the newsletter before the game started. What a game!! Super fun to watch for UConn nation!
And of course there's a parade--today!
I'll be marching with my friends in spirit only this year because I'm staying with my mother this weekend. She's a big fan, so we'll watch the parade on TV. ๐ฅณ
p.s. I apologize to non-basketball fans and non-UConn alums for getting so excited about all things March Madness and UConn related. ๐
I'd love to hear about who you root for and why!

*** Exclusive Snippet ***
Bianca
I take a deep breath, figuratively pull up my secret red-lace sexy girl pantiesโthe ones I wear for good luck and to give me that extra bounce of confidence, the ones that I wear as a fake-it-til-you make it reminder that I will one day have my pick of any man I want, that I wonโt have to fantasize about having my own personal romantic hero hunk, that Iโll have hordes of them flocking after me because Iโm the bomb--all of me including the extra thirty pounds, the thick glasses and the outsized ambition.
As soon as I knock on the door, he opens it.
My breath stops and I stumble with dizziness, almost going blind with spots in my visionโbut not before I see that Brody Holden is stark naked.
He catches me and pulls me into his room as he kicks the door shut behind him. โI forgot to mention that she took my clothes. And my wallet.โ
Heโs magnificent. Itโs all I can think with my eyes squeezed shut as if Iโve stared at the sun too long. Unfortunately my closed eyes donโt stop me from feeling the heat of his body or inhaling the heady scent of him, close up and personal as I am with his bare skin.
He seems to remember the inappropriateness of our close proximity in his state of undress at the same time I do, because he lets me go as I jump away from him.

Choose one of these 3 Boston Brawlers Faves!
He Has It All
She's always had a crush me, but I was supposed to look out for her like a big brother. Now one wedding could change everything--If I can get my sh*t together before it's too late...
Ryan OโRourke here, pro hockey star for the Boston Brawlers and playboy extraordinaire. Thatโs right, I admit it. Hell, I own it, score with it and take it to the bank every day.
MVP of the league, rich as sh*t and sought afterโno plagued--by woman constantly, Iโm on top of the world. Right?
Not so much. I've been juicing my rep for promotional gain for too long.
Now? Problem is, when you live the rep you forget who you are. And after a very short stint, it gets f*****g lonely because all your friends think youโre an a**hole.
The other problem is, when you fall for someone real, someone who knows who you were before fame got to your head, you have a hell of a time convincing her youโre still the same person you used to be.
I swear I still amโsomewhere underneath the cocky b******d.
And then there's that damn promise I made...

He Has Game
Bad boy goalie for the Boston Brawlers, Finnegan Reed needs to rehabilitate his image or be traded.
So he goes along with the public relations plan.
How bad can a fake engagement to a nerdy intern be?
Except the nerdy intern has a spine to go with her gentle soul and a weakness for margaritas and hockey players.
Who knew?
But it's a dicey thing trying to pull off a lie when you're in the spotlight and things could go from bad to worse unless we make the story stick with a convincing performance.
All the way down to the details, like ...

He Has Santa
Little Nicky has a Christmas wish and it's up to Junie and Logan to grant it.
Logan did his best to forget about the girl who ditched him before he left for college on a hockey scholar. He did his best to deny she was the love of his life because that possibility hurt like hell. Now he's playing for the team he'd always dreamed of since he was a kid, the NHL's Boston Brawlers. But there's still a hole in his heart.
Junie never felt good enough to be the high school hockey star's girl, especially when she caught him kissing her best friend. Or she could have been kissing him. But did it matter? He was the hottest guy in town and he'd be the hottest guy in college and then the NHL eventually.
It was inevitable that he'd find someone better than her, so she ran away.
And had his baby. Then married another man.
Six years later and Junie's a widow, coming home finally, starting over. And so is Logan...

Wyatt Ellis, Brantley Ellis and Maverick Wallace are just as pretentious as their names sound. Who cares if theyโre gorgeous billionaires. They are the literal worst.
Between the long hours, the snippy comments, and the last minute requests youโd think even one of them would get my name right. Nope. Theyโre infuriating. Insufferable. Overbearing.
Unfortunately I need this job.
Especially after an unexpected expense, makes me desperate and I need to look at getting some cash and quick but thereโs only one thing I have worth selling. My V-card.
I really shouldnโt have had the auction site open on my company computer and I definitely shouldโve left the hotel room when I realized who the highest bidders were.
But I didnโt and now they want more. Too bad for them my heart isnโt for sale.
