EXCLUSIVE Excerpt #3: The One Timer

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

I love it when a story comes together!

I finally know my characters in The One Timer well enough to have fun with them and write with flow!

What that means for you is a book that reads smoothly and naturally.

Of course the idea is to make all books read that way, and for the most part, I think they do.

But what you don't see in the end product is the struggle--or lack thereof--that goes into getting it to the finished polished version of itself.

Trust me, early drafts of some stories read like total nonsense!

That's what makes sharing these excerpts with you so tricky. They're from an UNFINISHED version of my book and... well, it's scary to let even a few paragraphs from an unfinished work go public for fear that it's all wrong.

That said, I hope you enjoy the THIRD EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT from The One Timer, a hockey rom-com. Check it out below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Tis the season to get together with friends and go out to festive places!➜➜➜➜

I went out with friends to a place called Tuscan Village and it felt like we stepped into the set of a Hallmark movie!

Being old friends, we felt free to be silly and took video clips of our reenactment of a Hallmark movie scene--the one where the heroine appreciates her home town and the villagy atmosphere. Wish I could share the video here--Not! (It was really hokey.)

Meanwhile, H and I have been watching the UConn Huskies win basketball games left and right!

So many sports to watch this time of year... another good reason to love this season!

(I apologize to all non-sports fans for my ra-ra superfan persona dominating here.)

My diet, you ask?

Boring. No loss, but no gain either. Guess I'll take that.❤️

One more thing--Do I dare ask the stress-inducing question?

Who's finished with their holiday gift shopping?

Not me. (have I mentioned I'm a procrastinator?)

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

from Playing Until the End - a football romance

Charline

She felt the restraint as if it were a chain around her heart. It was stopping her from having what she needed most, what she longed for and what she hoped desperately would save her somehow from something even though she had no idea what. In the end, he spoke first.

“I want you, Charlie.” His mouth trembled on the raspy words. “All of you. All the way. Nothing held back.”

Still unable to speak, she nodded. And then she leaned into him and this time there was fire where there’d been the warmth of comfort before.

When Trent swept his arms under her and lifted her from her feet, the sensation of tumbling on a wild ride rolled through her. Her insides expanded with the zip of euphoric energy. The chaos of emotions narrowed instantly with the crazy pumping of her heart, pushing all her blood to flood her senses and rushing to the center of her desire. Heat and tension gripped her. Giddiness and a buoyancy took over.

There was no talk when Trent lowered them onto the couch, still cradling her in his arms. He rested her on his lap and her butt nestled on his hard, bulging cock in her most excruciatingly tender and explosively sensitive spot. She couldn’t help the cry or moan or whatever the sound was she made as the raw need for satisfaction roared through her and she squirmed to feel more of him. Gripping his face, she pulled him in for a devouring kiss.

She wanted only one thing: to give this man back what he’d given her. Whatever need she felt for her own satisfaction right now was nothing compared to how much she wanted to see him writhe in pleasure at her hands, her mouth and every part of her being. His lips, his mouth, his tongue, his teeth all explored, devoured and overwhelmed her. Pushing back, she bit his lower lip and slid from his lap, still holding his stubble-roughened face in her hands, caressing his jaw as she moved to face him, kneeling between his legs. Then her teeth let go of his lip and parted from the moist heat of his mouth and she dragged her hands from his face, skimming along the silky material covering his chest, feeling the blip in her chest at the hardness of his muscles and staring into his glazed, hooded eyes. 

The only sound was their strained breathing, heavy and tight with pent-up need. His hands shook as he grasped her shoulders when she reached for his zipper. He flinched when she touched his cock through the fabric and she

RELEASE DATE December 30th

THE ONE TIMER

Chase

I’m in full control and I keep going, kicking my bedroom door open and then kicking it closed behind me. Emery feathers kisses all over my face, on lips, my cheeks, my chin, my eyes—that’s when I stop.

I nip her lip. “I need to see where I’m going.”

“Where is that Mr. Perfect? Where are you going to take me tonight, or my one-night special? To the stars and back? To the moon?”

“To the fucking ends of the universe.” I tell her the god’s honest truth because I know that’s what it’s going to feel like. We reach my bed and I turn and sit on the edge while she settles on my lap, planting her hot spot exactly on top of my dick. “Jesus. You feel like a furnace.”

“I am. Thanks to you.”  We sit face to face and she bites the corner of her lip. I lick the spot, wondering why she’s doing it, knowing it’s a tell for nerves.

“What is it?”

“Confession? I haven’t done this in a long, long time.”

“I can call your confession and raise you a couple of longs.” I have no idea if it’s exactly true, but that’s not the point.

Getting the point, she laughs and the sound runs through me, soothing and exciting at the same time and I have no idea how that’s possible, but it’s what I feel, I swear. Unless I’ve lost my mind—which is entirely possible.

She wriggles her hips and whatever mind I have disappears. Falling back on the bed with her, I roll her over onto her back and move onto my side. Watching her, I lower my hands to the button of her jeans and pop it open. Her golden honey eyes go dark and the curve of her lips turns serious. She reaches down and unbuttons my pants, then lowers the zipper.

Fuck. I lower her zipper and then gripping the waistband, pull her pants down. She wriggles to help until they’re down to her thighs.

“Time to get serious about this,” I say, kneeling up. I finish taking off her pants as she kicks off her sneakers. I finish undressing her as my dick rages against my half unzipped pants...

a fake relationship billionaire accidental pregnancy hockey rom-com

Sabien

What does a billionaire hockey player and a clueless dog walker have in common?

Besides my dog, we both enjoyed spending one hot night burning up the sheets.

And we both need something desperately enough to strike a deal.

Possibly the stupidest deal ever imagined according to my lawyer.

But once it's done, we're in bed together--literally--for the duration of the season.

The one rule is that we agree to part ways cleanly at the end of the contract. My lawyer insists.

No contact allowed.

No matter what...

Tricky Puck - a fake fiancee hockey rom-com

I'd never heard of a real life matchmaker before, but grandma insists on introducing me to one and makes sure it's really real when she tells me I'm her matchmaker's new client...

Normally, I'd do anything for grandma, but this is a big ask.

I'm not ready to settle down. Not even close. I'm only twenty-six and a rising star in the NHL - otherwise known as a chick-magnet.

After all the hard work and focus I've put in to get this far, I've barely begun to have fun. No way am I going along with the matchmaking plan.

Sure.

Fast forward to when my attitude changes real fast after grandma informs me her clock is ticking and her time's almost up.

And her dying wish is to see me settled down with a nice young woman.

Shit.

She goes on about babies, but my mind is spinning with the knowledge that I have no choice. I need to go along with this matchmaking deal for grandma.

Unless I can come up with a way to give her the comfort she wants, the illusion that I'm settled down--without actually settling down...

No Insurance for a Miracle - Sarah Lamb

When Pressman’s Christmas Tree Farm goes up in flames only weeks before Christmas, Stuart seeks help from his insurance agent.

He wasn’t expecting her to be a female version of Scrooge...

Allison doesn’t like Christmas and could care less about the upset man in front of her, handsome or not. Fresh trees are wasteful, bad for the environment, and what kind of grownup makes his living in selling Christmas cheer?

Other than giving the minimum payout, she doesn't have any personal interest in the case. To be honest, she hates Christmas. It’s filled with nothing but bad memories.

Stuart is praying for a miracle. Allison just wants to put the whole season behind her. Then she discovers some of the reasons Stuart is so desperate to save his farm and make it a success.

Will Allison let herself get caught up in the magic of the season? Can a Christmas miracle really happen not just for him, but her too?
