At SQ's House

So I did NOT win the billion dollar Mega Millions jackpot.

But even if I did, in case you were wondering, I would continue to write stories.

What I did do is some cooking because my stove was finally repaired. The repairman told us he wasn't surprised that it was still on warranty and confirmed that 'they' truly don't make them like they used to!

These days, all his repairs are for appliances less than ten years old!

Sometimes I hate it when an old saying is true.

My husband did some cooking too. We both sauteed some chicken and vegetables with sauce and spices and I have to say... his was better.

Absolutely delicious.

I'd share the recipe, but it was totally ad-libbed.

I'd share a picture, but we were too busy eating the food to take a photo.😁

Hope you're all cooking up something good wherever you are! 💜

He Has Charm

"Loved the characters of Maddox and Harper. They are such a great couple and the chemistry between them is off the charts... The attraction between them is explosive... I really enjoyed the book, it was fast-paced and kept me interested all the way through."

He Has Pluck

The NEXT story Boston Brawlers hockey romance...

He Has Pluck -an enemies-to-lovers hockey rom-com 💜

What does an International award-winning camera lady think about going from filming earthquakes and behind the scenes of drug cartel operations to shooting Boston sports?

I'm not enjoying the so-called break in the action, that's for d@mn sure.

Shooting the Brawlers hockey team--even if they are in the playoffs--is a major demotion as far as I'm concerned and I don't care how many people would trade their right arm for the assignment.

Especially when I end up shooting the behind-the-scenes series for the team where I have to interact with the players on a daily basis.

Pro athletes are over-privileged prima donnas as far as I'm concerned and I want noting to do with the kind of grown men who play games for a living.

They're spoiled, living in fantasyland and don't have any idea how tough it is out there in the real world.

Not even the larger-than-life new guy with the killer body, contagious laugh, and a ridiculous dimple in his strong chin--cliche much?--can convince me otherwise.

Or can he?

Lasairiona McMaster - Two For Tripping

Awkward. Adrift. Alone.

Fresh out of college, Will Morrison finds himself at a loss. Graduating top of his class was all well and good, but with no idea of what to do next, it’s all meaningless, and his recent mistakes have put him on tenuous ground with his best friend and sister.

His championship hockey teammates are moving on without him, he has too many choices for what to do next, and no clue what makes his heart sing… Until a one night stand with a fiery red-head turns his world upside down. Quinn’s everything he’s not: outgoing, brave and driven.

Being with her shines a light on his dark side. But following the road to redemption means more than making amends with friends and family. Can he forgive himself, and accept that he doesn’t need to know the full path to take the first step? Or will his inability to love himself mean losing her, too?

If you’re pucking obsessed with Helena Hunting, Pippa Grant, and Elle Kennedy, you’ll love this steamy, one-night stand, sports romance. Two for Tripping is a full length standalone with no cheating, cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
