Last Exclusive Excerpt from He Has Pluck!

Hi everyone!

I wrote THE END in He Has Pluck this week and it wasn't easy. Jason & Juliette are each dedicated to their careers. Juliette's filmmaking threatens to take her off to the jungle and Jason is determined to make his dream for an NHL career a reality. How the heck am I going to give them their HEA?

You'll see how I managed to do it when you read the book.

Meanwhile, it was tough to choose an excerpt that wouldn't be a spoiler, but that still hasI enough intrigue without. Let me know what you think.

Check out the LAST EXCERPT below! 🧡

He Has a Baby is only $1.99 in this month's Kindle Deals!

LAST Exclusive Excerpt: He Has Pluck

Jason

Finn and I walk down the hall past the management offices on our way to the training room when we run into Delaney heading the other way.

“Just the two I want to see,” she says, and my stomach sinks.

“What’s up?” Finn asks.

She pulls us aside like we’re a couple of kids, bringing us toward an open office door, and practically shoves us in there.

“Whose office is this?” I get the feeling it belongs to someone important by the way it’s furnished.

“Never mind that,” she snaps and shuts the door behind her.

“Tell me about the fight between you and Tony G,” she says to me. Fuck.

“How did you find out about that? And it wasn’t a fight.”

“Video clips of the fight showed up on social media. Of course. And while you might not consider the shoving match a fight, it’s being characterized as a blow up, a fight, a scuffle and a shove fest by numerous social media influencers.” Ouch.

“It was nothing,” Finn says. “We took care of it.”

“You and the team may be all set with the scuffle, and that’s fine, but the public is just sinking their teeth into the salacious gossip about infighting on the team. This is the exact kind of thing we need to handle by way of the documentary. I’ll be talking to Ruminski and Sullivan about it.”

“Sullivan?” Finn says.

“Juliette,” I say. It’s funny, but she’s known to the team by her first name because that’s what I call her in front of them. I keep her pet name, Ice Chip, for when we’re alone. Which is more often than it should be.

“Whatever,” Delaney says. “We’ll have to get some shots of you and Tony together, laughing and getting along, and I don’t care if it kills you and you hate his guts.”

“No problem,” I say. My gut clenches because every time I think of him my body reacts as if he’s a visceral threat to my wellbeing, which is completely irrational. Worse, I feel like he’s a threat to Juliette, to my relationship with her.

Which is laughable because what relationship? We hooked up twice, and we have no idea what the fuck we’re doing except that we agree it’s messed up. And all wrong.

An obsession more than a relationship.

An obsession that wants to be a relationship if I believe what she said that night in a moment of weakness. I have feelings.

If I believe the automatic reaction of my own body to her words, to her softness.

Sizzling Eyes - Hattie Lou

Willow

Feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, all I wanted to do was go to the bar and have myself a drink or two before my sister's wedding the next day. My night ended with a few drinks and an unforgettable one-night stand with a handsome stranger. I never expected to see him again after I left his hotel room later that night.

Tanner

She captured my attention the moment I stepped into the bar. I knew one taste of her wasn't going to be enough. When I ran into her at my buddy's wedding the next day, I thought luck was on my side. As it turned out, she wanted nothing to do with me.

Two weeks later, Willow and Tanner find themselves staying at the beach house that Willow's family owns. With neither of them planning on leaving, they soon find themselves getting closer.
