BLURB:
As a high school hockey star, I was on track for greatness. Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind.
For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross.
Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the Blades: they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong.
His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower.
As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me.
The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack?

BLURB:
They’re on opposite sides of the battle—until they’re forced under the same roof.
At Wildwood University, student body president Sylvester Salvatore is used to playing by the rules. But when funding gets slashed and donors pull out, he’s left juggling angry students, impossible expectations, and his own fading dreams of becoming a filmmaker. The last thing he needs is a rogue hockey player turning him into a campus punchline.
Maxwell Jessup knows how to fix things—with his hands, that is. So when the university cuts the hockey team’s funding, he grabs his tools and starts livestreaming DIY renovations to raise cash. But after a viral mishap lands him in hot water, he’s sentenced to community service under the most uptight guy on campus: Sylvester.
Tensions flare as they’re forced to spend time together, but what starts as mutual irritation turns into undeniable chemistry—especially after a housing crisis leaves Sylvester crashing at Jessup’s place. As their walls come down, a partnership forms—not just to save the hockey season, but to expose the corruption threatening Wildwood itself.
The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous things become. But with the help of a famous whistleblower and an unshakable best friend, Jessup and Sylvester might just win more than a battle for justice.
They might win each other.

PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 377
RELEASE DATE: 4/28/2025
BLURB:
As old desires resurface, the line between sacrifice and obsession blurs, threatening to draw them both into a place they cannot escape…
Elias:
I took a vow to God, to my faith, to my people. As a priest, I am bound by duty, but there’s something I can never escape—Ronan. He was my entire world. We were young, stupid, and full of dreams neither of us was able to express and when those feelings became too much, he left me.
I chose this life—a life of celibacy and sacrifice. I convinced myself it was what I wanted. To move on and let go of the past I could never have. To let go of him. But when he comes back whispering his sins and fantasies that all allude to being about me. His every word pulls me back where I can’t forget and awakens my own hidden desires.
I thought I had buried him—buried us—but the truth is, I never stopped loving him. He left to become someone else, someone who didn’t carry the weight of our love and I became suffocated within the confines of my collar. Now the temptation to cross every line I’ve sworn to uphold burns hotter than ever because he’s just within my grasp.
Ronan:
I should have never come back. But how could I stay away when the man I still love haunts my dreams? When I left, I thought I could move on, but the truth is—I never did. Despite the bodies I put beneath me, it was Elias I heard screaming my name. It was always him.
I came back seeking closure, but when I saw him again, standing there in his priest’s robes, cold and distant, I realized he wasn’t the sweet boy I had left behind. He had become a man—a man who made me realize I was still yearning to rekindle the fire I had extinguished out of fear all those years ago. I can’t stop myself from demanding everything I want and need from him.
I can’t stop begging for more. He may have made a vow, but I will show him that succumbing to me and allowing our fire to consume him will be greater than his heaven. I would worship every part of his body and soul. If he would just let me in…I would be his god.
Bound by duty and haunted by regret, Elias and Ronan are forced to confront a past that refuses to stay hidden. Elias, fixed in place by promises made long ago, is unable to shake the weight of a love that was never meant to be. Ronan returns like a restless force, pulling him back to what they once shared. Can they break free from the ties that bind them, or will they be forced to surrender to a past that still burns too brightly to forget?

BLURB:
A brawny lineman, a ginger English teacher, and a horny pup. What could go wrong?
Mike Albert hates moving. Absolutely hates it. But there he was, standing in the driveway of his brand-new home, exhausted, exasperated, and—thanks to his hyperactive Jack Russell, Homer—already causing a scene.
Then he sees him.
Eliot.
All broad shoulders and thick, his chest coated in sweat and debris, his voice like honey over gravel, wielding an ax like it’s an extension of his own body.
It’s too bad Mike’s introduction involved his dog aggressively humping the man’s leg. Like serious, puppy making humping.
Eliot, a no-nonsense power lineman, was used to storms—both the electrical kind and the messes people make of their lives. He didn’t expect the nervous, fast-talking new guy next door to turn his world upside down. But with Mike’s awkward charm, penchant for disasters, and a dimple that should be illegal, Eliot found himself intrigued.
What started as a neighborly friendship quickly turned into something more—something warm, electric, and undeniable. But Mike had a history of playing it safe, and Eliot spent years keeping people at arm’s length.
Could a jittery schoolteacher and a grounded, gruff lineman find common ground? Or would their connection short-circuit before they got a chance to light up the night?

Nothing has changed for me since the day I met him. I’m still head over heels in love with my guy.
That’s the real me. But to the rest of the world, I’m thought of as a legal powerhouse and courtroom bulldog. That’s why people hire me and why it’s in your best interest to not get on my bad side.
Yet, life is complicated. In a sudden twist of fate, the rug gets pulled out from underneath me, leaving me reeling.
Beau Brooks
Once I learned to get out of my own way, my life transformed in ways I never thought possible. Fast forward a few years, and my mister is not only the love and joy of my life, but every dream we dared to make has come true.
Other dreams have a funny way of manifesting too. I’m now co-owner in a thrilling charter fishing service, alongside my lifelong buddy and new Sea Springs neighbor, Scott Lee.
Then out of nowhere, life hurls a fastball that sends me sprawling. My meticulously built inner defensives crumble, thrusting me into a place I never wanted to be. Can I muster the strength to be the leader of my family or will the fear of losing my life’s love bring me to my knees, risking everything I hold dear.
When our cherished lives suddenly go sideways, are either of us really the men we believed ourselves to be? Can we navigate the maze of these powerful truths, or will the force of change shatter what we hold dear?

He was the wound that never healed
Jamie
A chance encounter at a charity event brings the past I thought I left behind rushing back—along with the one person I never wanted to see again.
Now, plagued by his presence, I’m drowning in memories. Some devastatingly bitter, some heartbreakingly sweet. Feelings I buried long ago are clawing their way to the surface.
I don’t want to want him. I don’t want to need him.
But when he touches me, the chaos quiets, and for the first time in years, I feel like myself again.
Do I turn away, unable to trust him again? Or is there a chance to rebuild something beautiful from the mistakes of our past?
Shane
I never expected to see him again, not with the weight of my guilt holding me back. I never imagined I’d have the chance to ask for forgiveness, to make things right.
But when the opportunity comes, I become someone I never thought I’d be—someone who lurks in the shadows, following him everywhere, just hoping for a fleeting moment to talk, to apologise.
Staying away from him is harder than I thought, and when the chance to protect him from pain arises, I don’t hesitate—even if it means putting myself in harm’s way.
Will I carry this guilt and these unrequited feelings forever? Or can we rise from the ashes of our past to build something new?

They say journalists should never become part of the story. Someone should’ve warned me before I locked eyes with six-foot-two of brooding hockey defenseman.
Covering the college hockey team was supposed to be my stepping stone, not the assignment that would tangle my heart in a power play I never saw coming.
My mentor always preached about professional distance. Funny how those principles evaporate when Sean’s guarded eyes meet mine across a locker room.
Then I noticed it during a game. The wince, the careful way he rotated his shoulder when nobody was watching. Nobody except me.
The scoop of the season is right there. The star defenseman hiding injury, risking his future in the pros. The kind of story that could launch my career. The kind of betrayal that would shatter whatever this electric thing between us is becoming.
Every journalist instinct screams to follow the story. Every other part of me wants to follow him.
Each interview becomes a dance. As I circle closer to his secret, he leads me away with those rare smiles that transform his serious face into something my recorder can’t capture.
He says I’m trouble with a press badge, closer than a source should ever be. I should back away, remember my ethics, protect my journalistic integrity. But he’s a story I can’t stop writing.
We’re closing in on the championship. I’m closing in on my deadline. Something has to give, and I’m terrified it might be my heart.

Unfortunately, our quick rescue mission has turned into protecting a mysterious childwhile evading enemies we can’t seem to identify.

That is definitely a conversation for another time. For now, I’ll focus on the other hissing ball of big mad aboard our ship—the adorable alien baby we need to safely return to their home planet.
With a family as large as mine, I’m not worried about the logistics of caring for them, but then we discover the only way to complete our mission is for me to level up my powers.

The task seems simple—recruit allies from among the coyote shifter community—but nothing is easy when your alluring partner has no patience for protocols and regulations. And when monsters attack from the darkness.
When obligation collides with desire, Con must decide how to fulfill his mission, keep himself and Isaac alive… and cope with the demons that seek to consume him. And in order to succeed, he just might have to break some rules.

Now you see me, now you don’t.
I’m trying to pull the biggest con of my life. This time it’s not a quarter I’m hiding under half a coconut shell, it’s me. Like the game I used to pull down at the pier, I rented three different motel rooms in three different cities for the same days and made it look like I was hiding in them. I paid three guys who vaguely resemble me to get my distinctive haircut and check into the rooms, then traveled to each of the cities, paying everything in cash along the way, and stayed in each room alternate nights just to make sure any CCTV got a really good look at me. I then paid the guys to stay in the rooms an extra two nights while I hid myself elsewhere.
I know Rick’s hunting me, no two ways about it. Luckily the guys I hired knew to vamoose and get far, far away after getting yet another new haircut. Even if he tracked any of them down, all they know is I’m a guy who shared a hotel room with them off and on after paying them a tidy sum to get the same haircut and pretend to be me when I wasn’t there. None of them knew about the others or anything and I paid cash everywhere but at the hotels and their nearby restaurants and shops in the cities I chose as my ‘shells’. All of it money he’ll want to recover because I took it from his accounts. Well, more likely money he’ll want to make me pay dearly for, because he not only lost that but will be majorly ticked off that I ran away after he threatened to kill me if I ever tried to leave him.

Jules
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I entered the small town of Eden, Wyoming, but I can easily say that being accosted by a few thugs in a dirty alley because I had a modicum of fashion sense hadn’t been high on the list of possibilities. Growing up in Manhattan probably should have prepared me better, but it wasn’t like there was a sign posted outside of Eden warning me to ditch my Mongolian wool wrap and dark nail polish. Sure, I knew I’d get some looks of disgust, but I’d always had a snarky remark at the ready. Unfortunately, snarky only worked when you weren’t having the crap kicked out of you.
Enter the kind of hot cowboy I’d been fantasizing about since, well, forever, and within seconds the ignorant bigots were stumbling out of the alley, and I was alone with my gorgeous savior. Only problem was that said savior was under the assumption that he’d been rescuing a damsel in distress.
And I was definitely no damsel. A fact that Hot Cowboy didn’t realize until after he’d kissed me.
Flynn
Eden was supposed to be another small town just like all the others. A place to do some temporary work on one of the local ranches before moving on. It wasn’t a life for most people, but it’d been working for me. With the exception of my horse, I liked being alone.
A dusty, garbage-filled alley changed all of that. Helping someone who was the victim of a serious beating wasn’t a big deal for me. The victim was a big deal. As soon as I locked eyes with the person I assumed was a woman based on the clothes and nail polish, I was a goner. As confused as I was about my attraction to her since I played for the other team, she kissed like a dream. Only she wasn’t a she at all.
The young man in my arms did something to me with that kiss. I was both relieved and disappointed when the guy took off. In the long run, it would be good because the last thing I needed was an intense attraction to someone who clearly didn’t belong in Eden.
Enter Black Hills Ranch and a familiar stranger who wasn’t very happy to see me.
At all.
Jules, a New York city boy, was an enigma but that didn’t matter. I wanted him. Even though we were like night and day, arguing with Jules was just as much fun as kissing him.
It was also very dangerous. For him. For me. The last thing I could afford was to fall for a guy who’d never truly be mine. I had to let him go. It was the right thing to do.
Then why did it feel so wrong?

As if that didn’t already have disaster written all over it, I grab a suitcase from the wrong luggage carousel in baggage claim when I change planes in Vegas.
Luckily Zachary, the owner of the suitcase, has mine, and we agree to swap clothes for the week. Problem solved. Until I get a look at what I’ll be wearing.
Not only are the outfits much tighter than I prefer, they’re obviously meant for someone much younger than me. And let’s not get started on his lace underwear.
But Zachary encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, checking on me periodically to ensure I’m not waffling. He’s sweet, and inspiring, and somehow the sexual adventure I was looking for changes. Because now Zachary is all I can think about.
I can only hope that once we get back home he’ll give me a shot. Or else it’ll take all the margaritas in Texas to drown my sorrows.

Bailey
As if causing a scene on my front lawn with my lying, cheating scumbag of an ex wasn’t bad enough, having to be rescued by my two giant, muscled, gorgeous neighbors makes it even more humiliating.
But I feel safe in their arms. Safer than I’ve ever felt. They seem like a happy couple and are probably just pitying the fool next door who gave his heart to the wrong person. Why would they need anyone else?
Duke
Racing over to help Bailey was a no-brainer. We’d always assist someone in need. But Bailey’s not just anyone. He ignited something in Stellan and me the day we moved in next door.
Bailey was in a relationship then, and therefore strictly off-limits. But he’s single now. Stellan is eager for us to pursue something with Bailey, but is Bailey even ready?
Stellan
There’s something about Bailey that unlocks a part of me that desperately wants to care and protect someone. Duke is my best friend and soulmate, but as much as I love him, he doesn’t need me in that way. And I know he has the same needs I have, the same desire to lavish love on someone that I do.
We realized years ago that a third person would make what we have truly perfect, the missing piece to our puzzle. Could Bailey be the one we’ve been waiting for all this time?
