Best Things in Life on Sale for $.99!

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello ,

Happy almost Valentine's Day!

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to some special chocolates to go with my romance reading.

Are you a Candy or Flowers person?

Never mind. Silly question--of course it's both, right? Or maybe that's just me...

Either way, the common denominator is always ROMANCE!

To celebrate, I have a second chance romance, Best Things in Life, on sale for a limited time!

In other book news... I'm working on the cover for my next release, Lucky Puck, but I'm having trouble finding the right cover guy. It's a hockey rom-com (in the Portsmouth Whalers series) so I was looking for a rom-com vibe but without the cartoon cover. Not that I don't like them, but I want it to match the series covers.

So far, it's been a challenge!

In the meantime, I'm working on the blurb for Lucky Puck and I'll share my draft blurb with you today.

Check out the Draft Blurb for Lucky Puck below!

Also coming soon - the special hardcover edition of The Cheerleader!

And finally, look for my new upcoming Shopify Store - Stephanie Queen Romance Books. It's not live yet, but I'll keep you posted!

Next week look for the Name That Character Contest for Lucky Puck!

This weekend my friends took me out for my milestone birthday (a little early due to scheduling). We went to a spa!➜➜➜➜

(I'm on the far right.)

Afterwards we went to dinner where I opened gifts (did I mention how wonderful my friends are?).

One of the gifts was a necklace with little valentine hearts-like the candy-with little romantic words on them. Another gift included gorgeous pink roses.

So naturally I said, "These would look great together on a book cover." So we started putting them together using the pink tissue paper for the background and took pics to create a possible romance book cover! Right there at the table in the restaurant.

That's what happens at dinner with a romance author and her very indulgent friends! Lol! 💜

What milestone birthday is it? you ask.

I turn 70 years of age (not old, but not young either!) on February 22nd.💜

Tonight I'll be watching the Super Bowl, like so many gaziillions of other people, but what I'm most excited about is the special recipe buffalo chicken wings I'm making!

Are you

Team Snacks or Team Football?

LUCKY PUCK (DRAFT) BLURB

You know you're having a bad day when you wake up alone in a hotel room and your wallet is missing. And your keys. And when you've finished rummaging around the room, you realize your clothes are missing too.

And all you have is what's on your back.

Absolutely nothing. You're stark naked.

Did I mention I'm here for the NHL All Star weekend--and I'm supposed to play in one hour?

Lucky Puck is a hockey rom-com about a rookie phenom who might have run into some trouble... and his killer agent who bails him out of it. The problem is, his agent is a scorching beauty with a take no prisoners attitude and has him locked down--but not in a good way.

Look for the Name That Character Contest for the Hero and Heroine next week!

Stephanie Queen's Featured Authors

a hockey romance

Ghosted by the Goalie - Jennifer Lazaris

To-Do List:

1) Lose my V-card before my twenty-fourth birthday.

2) Get over my off-limits crush on my bestie, hockey player Cade Hale.

3) Stop making to-do lists!

Jules

Cade and I made a promise not to cross any lines that would hurt our friendship, so there’s no way I can tell him I’ve caught feelings. Especially since he only dates smokeshow hotties—not average, curvy girls like me.

So when Cade’s teammate asks me out, I say yes. He’s not looking for anything serious, making him the perfect guy to help me cross item number one off of my to-do list...and to distract me from my crush on Cade.

Cade

Thanks to a stupid pact I made years ago, I’ve been moving through puck bunnies at warp speed because I can’t have the woman I really want—my best friend, Jules.

When she forces me to face a hard truth I wasn’t ready for, I end up ghosting her for two months. Dumbest decision ever, since even two months without Jules is way too long. But when I drive to her place in the middle of the night to apologize and spill my feelings, what do I find? Her—wearing my teammate’s jersey. Yeah, there’s no way I’m letting anyone steal away the only girl I’ve ever cared about.

This pact ends now.

Groveton College.

The place where you only matter if you were born with a silver spoon In your mouth.

Where the chance of getting a place was the same as winning the lottery.

But the perks of having a new stepdad who works there meant that I got to finish out my degree with the elite.

And then I met him. My worst enemies’ married father.

I never meant to fall in love with him,

And I never meant to lie to him either.

He thinks I’m a teacher,

I just think I’m screwed.

Ascension - Rachel Callahan

I really should've stayed in bed on my twentieth birthday.

Instead, I decide to go out, have a few too many drinks, meet Adrian—a gorgeous man I'm magnetically attracted to—and if that isn't enough, I manage to get abducted to another realm.

I find out I'm not human—well–not entirely. It turns out I'm a demigod, half-human, half-god. If that reality check doesn't knock a girl on her ass, I don't know what would.

To top it off, Adrian isn't just some hot one-night stand at the bar. He's one of the four gods tasked with ruling over the school this year. A school I'm now forced to attend if I want to control my powers. Powers that will be locked away until I prove I can handle them.

Despite my anger towards Adrian for taking me from my life, I can't help but find myself drawn to him.

The only problem is, he isn't the only god that makes me feel this way. Mateo, Kyros, and Maximus keep popping up into my life, confusing me with their penetrating stares and possessive attitudes.

When a dark power emerges, I must rely on them to find the threat attacking the school and its students, especially when the malevolent force turns its attention towards me.

If I could go back to that day, I—almost—definitely would've stayed in bed.
