Hello my romance-loving besties!

Next week I'll have an exclusive excerpt for you from The Groupie featuring Rylee and Zack, supposedly fun characters in this hockey rom-com.

BUT, in the meantime while I'm working things out with Rylee and Zack, I have a COVER REVEAL for you! Check out the COVER FOR my BOOK coming in December: THE ONE TIMER ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

from He Has Pluck

Ice Chip aka Juliette

“Let’s bring our drinks into the great room,” I say, striving for nonchalance. But my comfort level is as shallow as my words, disappearing as my breath hits the open air. I pour some Glenlivet into a glass and add some ice from the fridge door dispenser.

“Does this mean you’re going to answer my questions?” he asks.

“Why?”

“It’s either that, or we find another way to pass the time.” He follows me with his beer. I stop near the oversized sectional. It’s big enough. Serviceable for so-called passing the time activities if that’s where we’re going.

But is that what I really want? I don’t give a fuck what Ruminski says. This is about me and making up my own mind about whether or not Hockey Boy is worth the potential for distraction. I look him up and down as he claims me again, planting his hands on my hips and moving in for that magical connection. I use the term “magical” loosely here. Or maybe not, because as our zippers meet and I feel the heady pressure again of his hard-as-fuck cock against me, knowing that I make him feel this way makes me dizzy.

“I suppose we should get to know each other."My voice sounds parched, so I beef it up. "That doesn’t mean you get to ask anything you want. I’ll tell you about my professional background.” I drag him with me to the couch. “Let’s sit and behave professionally.”

“Why start now?” he says, far too amused.

“I hate smugness in a man.” Not exactly true, but I need to knock him back, to diffuse whatever this compulsion is between us to touch or be touched. It’s purely physical, and as much as I’m into sex for pure physical pleasure, he shouldn’t be the one. I hate hockey. And I especially hate professional players.

He cough-laughs, and I disengage completely from his hold as I sit. But the couch conspires against me, and I sink into it, and he sinks next to me so that we’re in this cushiony well, compressed together by the laws of physics and an old worn couch’s foam and springs.

“This is cozy.” His dark eyes and suggestive lips hover close. The scent of him wafts and mingles around me. Everything about him pervades and confuses the line between us. I sink further back but he leans in.

He smiles. “So tell me about your last adventure. In Columbia.” 

The shock of the words coming from him stop me for a second from my usual quick comeback, sending a spike of fear like a dart through my consciousness.

“No,” I say automatically, but meaning it because I’m not going there with him.

Portsmouth Whalers: a hockey romance series

Sometimes you gotta just suck it up and put up with a girl--or two--who drive you crazy...

The good news is I was recently named head coach of the Portsmouth Whalers.

The youngest coach in the NHL for the newest expansion team.

The bad news is I found out my half-brother recently committed suicide and left me with a mountain of debt—and his baby daughter.

My Aunt Hildie promises to come live with me in to help me take care of the little bundle, but not until after her hip surgery heals.

So I show up on the first day of practice with a stroller full of trouble.

Lucky for me--and luckier for the kid--the sister of one of my players is there, and she offers to help me out.

It’s only for a month. What could go wrong?

She’s laid-back.and I'm an in-charge type.

(Read: I'm grumpy and she's sunshine.)

She loves kids and I don’t know what to do with the little girl.

She teaches me.

My girlfriend objects…

THE PLAYING GAME - AINSLEY BOOTH

Two years ago, I spent the hottest night of my life with a woman who never told me her name. In the morning, she was gone.

I've searched for her—relentlessly. I've scanned the stands and the cheering crowds in every city I've played in, but "Jersey Girl" never showed up again.

That night ruined me for anyone else. She was funny, sexy, and—after I got past her brittle shell—secretly very sweet.

Then one night, I skate onto brand new ice as part of the NHL's latest team. And she's in the stands at our first game of the season, very carefully not looking at me.

She disappears after the first period, and the chase is on again. This time, I have more clues, and I stop at nothing in my need to find her.

Turns out, she has good reasons why she can't date a pro hockey player. But I have even better reasons why she can—like, we're meant for each other, and I'll do whatever it takes to be the man she needs.

Does Linc have the skills off the ice to keep up with her? Will he follow in his father’s footsteps? Or will he step out from the shadows and chase his dreams?

If you’re pucking obsessed with Helena Hunting, Pippa Grant, and Elle Kennedy, you’ll love this hilarious, hot-as-puck, secret identity, opposites attract, curvy girl sports romance. Two for Interference is a full length standalone with no cheating, cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
