I find out what he’s like beneath his charm and start to feel things. Just no. I refuse to take that risk. Because no matter what they promise, one ever stays.

She's my obsession, my world, my everything. If only she would let me in, tell me why she's terrified, why she stays in the shadows, why she can't be seen in public.

Book excerpt: Derek Caulton is well-known for his exceptional speed and skill on the ice. His natural ability to read the game and create scoring chances has made him a valuable playmaker for the Baltimore Banners, but his skill off the ice is a little different. Coming from a world of privilege with a devilish charm and fun-loving spirit, responsibility isn't something Derek's ever had to worry about. And he's not accustomed to working for what he wants. That all changes after a single encounter with Bridget Lloyd. Fiercely independent and entirely too outspoken, Bridget learned early in life how to work--and fight--for what she wants. After struggling with the loss of her mother at an early age, she's worked her way through college with the goal of becoming a social worker who specializes in working with children. As a member of the Banner's Ice Crew, she's familiar with Derek's play on and off the ice and wants nothing to do with the irresponsible, fun-loving player--until a minor accident throws them together. Can a one-night encounter really change the course of two lives? And when the tables are turned, can one stubborn woman teach the fun-loving playmaker that responsibility isn't a four-letter-word and sometimes it's what happens behind the scenes that matters most?

A glimpse of bare shoulder takes me back to a steamy, two-week Vegas tryst I can’t forget. One I’m eager to repeat. Suddenly our one-night stand is turning into the sequel. Still, Lacey’s keeping secrets. She doesn’t trust me. And maybe I deserve it. But I know more than she thinks I do and there’s no chance I’m letting her get away—or letting another guy take what is mine. This time, I’m playing for keeps.

Book excerpt: What starts as a game ends with two hearts on the line Dana "Mac" McPherson is a goaltender without a job, a team, or a city. Until he lands in Denver as a backup goalie. He should be happy, but he's not. Not only is his new job a step down from the starting goaltender position he's used to, even worse, he's uprooting his family from the only home they've ever known-and he's doing it as a widowed single dad of two young children. Mac decides the move to a new city is the perfect chance to hit the reset button and recapture a slice of his younger self when he was a ladies' man. But he's a little out of practice. So when he meets Mia Morales, the dark-eyed beauty helping him and his family find their Denver house, he decides she's the perfect woman to help him sharpen his skills. Burned out on her job, her family in turmoil, Mia doesn't need to add another twist in her already complicated life-like her hunky new client. Mac isn't just a twist: he's a huge wrinkle she needs to keep in the client zone because his halting boyish charm threatens to expose her carefully cloistered heart. Fate has a way of scrambling plans, and as Mac and Mia are continually thrown together, their attraction becomes bigger than both of them. When Mac decides Mia's more than a candidate to practice his imagined playboy moves on, his determined mother-in-law steps in with an agenda of her own. Meanwhile, Mia struggles to balance the weight of family and job. Her heart's not all she has to lose if she gives in to her desire to be with Mac. The path to Mac and Mia's happily-ever-after is littered with hip-checking hurdles. Some are of their own making, but others are barriers put up by those with a desire to keep them apart. Will they be able to skate around the barricades blocking their way and make it to the goal line, or will they veer so far off the path that they lose out on their happy ending? A little bit of humor and whole lot of heat

Book excerpt: Vaughn Madden is hockey's hotshot who moves to a small town, only to learn that Isla Chase has kept a secret from him for the past nine months. It was one night trapped with a hockey god due to a hurricane. We shared one bed too. I ignored the little fact that Vaughn has always been my brother's rival on the ice. And when the storm cleared off, so did Vaughn. Months later, he shows up in my hospital room in Lake Spark; it only takes one look at me and the man is counting back in his head, or maybe it's my face that explains it all. He's going to be a dad. And I didn't tell him. His eyes inform me that he won't let me off easy. He wants answers to why I kept this a secret-and he quite possibly needs a scotch for his nerves too. Vaughn is soon adamant that he isn't going anywhere, especially as he is the new general manager of our hockey team that trains in town. He also has a list of demands that I owe him due to my secret-keeping. Hence, why I move into his house. I'm not sure if developing feelings for a man with a wicked smirk is good for me or our child, but he's becoming more than my baby daddy. And it turns out that Vaughn's head has been working overtime, because the family image that I've dreamed about is the game that Vaughn seems to have been waiting to play... Vaughn and Isla bring you a heartwarming and steamy secret- and accidental-baby romance. Waiting to Play can be read as a complete standalone and is the third book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is a spin-off of the Lake Spark series. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.
