It's the Hot Shot Running Back Book Birthday!
Ongoing Excitement: A NEW Episode #4 is coming tomorrow in my Kindle Vella Story! See the details below!
At SQ's House -
This weekend wasn't just any graduation pool party. The graduate was the daughter of one of my best college friends and it gave me the opportunity to get together with five of my absolute best friends from UConn! (I'm 4th from the left with the sun glasses)💞
It's been over 40 years since we graduated, but the minute we see each other, it's like we're 21 and it's 1977 all over again! (Yes, I realize that means we're wicked old! Lol!)
The important thing is that we're still young at heart, loyal friends to the end and passionate UConn huskies fans. Next stop--the homecoming football game at UConn in October. Go Huskies!
What Am I Reading? This week I'm listening to Falling Into Love with You: The Hate-Love Duet Book 2 by Lauren Rowe, a very angsty new adult rock star romance.😀
How about you? What do you think of the rock star trope?

Book Birthday: Hot Shot Running Back
George & Izzy's story
"Man, do I love reading Stephanie’s books, especially since she began writing football romances. And, what fun has it been watching all these characters mature through their college years at St. Paul University. George and Izzy are a perfect example of growth and maturity. These two have explosive chemistry"

KINDLE VELLA Story: Episode #4 Tomorrow!
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
by Stephanie Queen
If you like to read a story in short snippets in between the busyness of your hectic life, then please download the first three episodes of I Want to Know What Love Is for FREE!
I'd really appreciate your feedback on this college football story set at St. Paul University. (Sound familiar? It should since I set it at my favorite fictional campus where the BIG MEN ON CAMPUS series takes place. This Kindle Vella story will be the first to kick off my new series, St. Paul U Players, late this year.

Exclusive Excerpt #1 from He Has a Baby!
Raphael “Rafe” Lemaire
I give her a good look and I swear her eyes are like a pair of exquisite aquamarine gemstones strikingly set in her luminous skin. She looks familiar somehow, but more like a picture someone painted than a real person. Maybe I’m staring too long, too impressed with the full-on glitter of her because she slides her glance past me and re-focuses her attention on Lizette. Not that I blame her.
“How can this little beauty yours?”
She reaches her arms out as she smiles and my little girl smiles back, the traitor.
“I’m her one and only,” I say. Zoey turns to me then.
“No mama?”
I shake my head. Everyone’s eyes are on me now.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t—” Ryan says.
“No, no. Her mother isn’t dead.” Shit. This is awkward to the point of uncomfortable. What do I tell them? “She’s… gone. I have sole custody.” Fuck. Real smooth. I’m not prepared to explain the story about my essentially motherless child, too busy concentrating on hockey, leaving Montreal and wrapping my head around the fact that I’m now playing for my old team’s chief rivals, the Boston Brawlers.
A lot of serious eyes look back at me, troubled, puzzled and silent, except not Ms. Frank Mouth.
“What do you mean, she’s gone?” Zoey arches a skeptical brow and takes my baby from me, without asking and without a fuss from Lizette, so I let her. Our hands touch when she lifts Lizette out of my arms and a massive shot of static electricity hits us, powerful enough to hear the snap. She laughs it off, but I’m taken aback. I’m pretty sure it’s static electricity, but it could have been a bolt of massive sensual awareness because my cock sparks to life. Reverting to my game face, I automatically shut down any expression, playing it cool.
She smiles at Lizette and the lady’s smile is as startling as her eyes, with dimples and bright teeth, blinding in authenticity. I force myself to regroup.
“I mean she’s living in France,” I say, “married to someone else.” The words are easy to say though the reality still feels like a shot to my soul. Not for me, but for my baby girl.
Coming soon in the anthology Irresistible Hot Single Daddies. Pre-Order Now!

Featured Review Quote
"Glory and Kace...My heart. Their story is tragic and magical. What the two of them have to work through to make it to the other side is inspiring. I loved seeing the path they took. This book was a delightful surprise."

Exciting NEXT Book in the BMOC series! Release Date September 15th:

I shouldn't be so excited about a book I've barely started writing, but I am!!
This one is going to be epic. It's a classic bad boy, enemies to lovers romance with a deep dark secret about what makes this bad boy, Brick, so broken and so untrusting of women--especially HER: Nyla Rhoades.
