What's new in the new year

How about a Snippet from my brand new work-in-progress?
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello !
Welcome to my writing world in this new year.
Maybe it's resolution fever, but...
Today I'm in a brave mood. I've decided to share a RAW SNIPPET from my brand new, barely begun Work-In Progress (WIP), Two Pucks. (This book features Sabien Dumas as the hero. He was the teammate and buddy in the previous two Portsmouth Whalers books!)
Trust me, this is either an act of bravery, or a totally foolish mistake!
Early drafts of books generally read like total nonsense and this book is in the amoeba stage of drafting. eek!
That's what makes sharing excerpts, and especially snippets, with you so tricky. There's a reason drafts are UNFINISHED versions of published books and... well, it's scary to let even a few lines from a WIP go public for fear that it's all wrong.
That said, to answer the all important question asked by the immortal Dirty Harry, Are you feeling lucky, punk?
The answer is heck yeah!
I hope you enjoy the EXCLUSIVE RAW SNIPPET from Two Pucks, a hockey rom-com. Check it out below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This week I went to a UConn Men's Basketball game with H all the way down in Connecticut!➜➜
It was a two hour drive each way!
Am I crazy? A crazy UConn fan, yes! But my poor husband, who did all the driving, is a perfectly sane, really good guy. ❤️ Like a romance hero...
Meanwhile, My son Tom is still hanging around on his endless holiday trip home from D.C.
Seriously, it's been great having him with all his energy and big young-man appetite. He'll be leaving today and I'll miss him.❤️
My diet, you ask?
It's a rollercoaster, but I'm happy to report I'm in a dip on this wild ride and determined to keep dipping.
In the spirit of optimizing health, H and I have gone for a walk 7 days in a row and counting--which doesn't sound like much, but remember it's winter here--and the regular walking in brisk weather helps.
Next week... Chair Yoga here I come!
One more thing--Do I dare ask this seasonal stress-inducing question?
What's your New Year's Resolution?
Mine? (see diet and health stuff above)

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥
The One Timer - a hockey rom-com
Chase
She slides her arm down my side and lets her hand trail to the mother ship, my steely dick. “I think I owe you a couple of orgasms about now.” She grins and pushes herself up, taking hold of me with more gusto than I can manage.
“I’ll settle for one right now. One mighty all-holds-barred fucker of an orgasm. Think you can handle it?”
She laughs and strokes me soft and firm, and it probably doesn’t matter what she does now. I’m so on edge that it’ll take only a small nudge to make me crash and burn.
“Hold that thought,” I say, reaching into the nightstand drawer and pulling it open to find my stash of condoms. “If I’m coming, I want to do it while I’m inside you.” I await her response, holding my breath and hoping she’s with me.
“You promised a wild ride, and I’m ready… except…”
Shit. “Except what, Em? Tell me. It’s okay. Whatever you—”
“It’s just that you’re so ….big and I’m so…”
“Small?”
“No. I mean, I don’t know, but I mean, I’m so out of…condition. Out of practice.”
I grin. “I’ll be gentle, I promise. We’ll take it easy the first time.”
Her eyebrows go up. “You have big plans for the night, don’t you? More than once? Really? After playing a hockey game?”
“With you, I feel like I could go all night. You turn me on like you have a magic switch.”
Her smile lights her face, and my heart stops and skips, then thuds like a stampede of stallions in my chest. The surge prompts me to take care of the condom, and I roll it on.
“What if I wanted a taste of you?” she says, fingering my balls and giving me the kind of smile I’d imagine on a she-wolf before she devours me.
“Later. I promise you won’t go hungry.” She gives a small laugh, and I lower myself, returning my attention to her...

“It’s not exactly the proposal I’ve always dreamed of, but homeless dogwalkers can’t afford to be too choosey,” she says.
I take a deep relieved breath. “I’ll have my lawyer write up a contract.”
“Have him include a clause that says we’re not allowed to sleep together.”
“You’re no fun.”
“I’m no lollipop girl.”
“No—of course not. I didn’t mean—”
“Of course you didn’t. But let’s include it in the contract anyway. It’ll make me feel better so I can face my mother with a clear conscience when I have to go back and live at home again after this is all over.”

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...
