Looks like NEW Hockey Romances coming in 2025!

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello ,

Greetings from the tundra of New Hampshire!

Okay, it's not that cold, but it's been pretty darn cold and the lake is frozen solid, tempting me to skate.

I haven't taken the plunge yet--for those of you who don't know/remember/care, I broke my arm two winters ago in a skating incident. But I'm determined to get back on the ice. Skating is too much fun.

In the meantime, I have the proofreader lined up for The Cheerleader, and that should be done sometime in the next week or so.

Which means you should get it sometime the week of the 20th! Not exactly as planned, but the main thing is it's getting done. Finally. Whew! ➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜

Onto the next project!

At SQ's House

This weekend I'm visiting with my mother in Connecticut ➜➜➜➜

She's 93 and not camera shy, going along with this shot for all my newsletter peeps.

We're watching NFL football playoffs--even though my two favorite teams are out of the running.

I'm now rooting for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Go Bills!

Not a bad way to spend a sunny cold Sunday afternoon.

No cleaning, no cooking, no one to instigate me into going to the gym--all around a great day!

How's your Sunday afternoon? 💜

I'd love to hear your story!

Teaser QUOTE from THE CHEERLEADER!

“If my life was ending, your face would be the last one I’d want to see. You’re the most important person in the world to me, Susie, more important than family. I want you. Desperately, like a dying man needs life. I’ve always wanted you, craved you. With every encounter, every word, every gesture and touch, I’ve only wanted you more. You’re mine, Susie. Tell me you’re mine.” 

--Bryan Granger

It would mean a great deal to me if you pre-order The Cheerleader at your favorite store. 💞

SQ's Favorite Review from the Past - With an Excerpt!

EXCERPT from Book 10

BEACHCOMBER ENEMY

Dane

The instant Dane stepped through the back door of his beach shack, even before the screen door sprang shut behind him, he knew something was wrong. 

Deadly wrong. 

He smelled it in the air. Gas.

All his senses came alert as if electrified. He ran through the kitchen, down the hall, scanning each room until he slammed through the door of his bedroom.

“Shana!” She wasn’t there. The thudding of his heart drowned out his thoughts. Driven by fear, he raced back through the small house and out the back door into the yard. 

She wasn’t inside. But was that a good thing, or a very bad thing? He wouldn’t let himself speculate as he raced around the side of the house, back to the patio. 

There he saw her.

“Shana.” His voice sounded less strangled, but the panic didn’t subside as he darted a glance back at his home—their home. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her from where she stood stretching after her run. A protest died on her lips as her eyes met his. He knew she saw his fear.

He didn’t let up on the death grip he had on her arm as he sprang across the lawn to the pier. She kept pace with him. Not that she had any choice.

“What is it?” she asked breathlessly, without letting up. He glanced back once to look at her, but there was no time to answer as they reached the end of the pier that jutted out into the harbor. There was no time to do anything but pull her into his arms.

The beach shack exploded with a roar of flames that shot into the air at the same instant he leapt off the pier with Shana. The heat hit him just before they hit the water and sank deep into the blessedly cold sea.

Fletch - Jeanne St. James

When a challenge comes along that should be resisted, is it best to fight the urge or just say screw it?

Shane Fletcher loves his job as a state trooper. Even more so when he gets to work undercover. When the DEA creates a task force to stop the trafficking of meth into Pennsylvania by the Deadly Demons, an outlaw MC, Fletch jumps on the chance to be involved.

The Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force is not only made up of some of his own Blue Avengers MC brotherhood, but with law enforcement from other agencies.

Including Nova Wilder, a special agent with the FBI. A kick-ass, no-nonsense woman whose specialty is fighting organized crime.

When Fletch and Nova go undercover with the Dirty Angels MC, they’re forced to work as partners, share an apartment and pretend they’re a couple.

Only, living in close proximity and acting like a biker and his ol’ lady ends up being the easy part. What proves to be the most difficult is trying to resist each other for the sake of not screwing up the assignment.

As it turns out, the Demons aren’t the only problem they have to deal with. Unbeknownst to them, a much more powerful threat is lurking and ready to strike.
