Empty Net Excerpt
“Lilah?” Fox says as I step over the threshold.
“Hmm?” I ask, turning toward him.
“You can kiss me.”
For the second time tonight, his words steal my breath away.
“I…”
He shrugs, like what he’s said is no big deal. “If you want, I mean. You can kiss me if you want to.”
Then he steps forward, pressing his lips to my cheek, his five o’clock shadow scraping against me in the most delightful way.
“Good night, sugar,” he says softly, then he dips his head before turning back toward the elevator.
I don’t say anything. Where would I even start? No. I just stare after him with wide eyes, my jaw dropped in surprise.
Fox steps into the car, facing me, and just as the doors close, he winks. It’s the last thing I see before he disappears, and I’m left with the realization that Rory was right—I absolutely do have a crush on Fox, who is now my fake fiancé.
And I have no clue what to do about it.

Empty Net Cover Reveal!
Releasing: April 10, 2025
Model Cover Design: Shanoff Designs
Photographer: Katie Cadwallader Photography
Model: Cole Forsgren
I have two goals this season:
1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.
2. Don't fall for my fake fiancée.
When Lilah Maddison's mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she's not interested in, she blurts out that she's already seeing someone. The problem? She's single.
So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we're no longer just dating--we're engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.
She's funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we're playing a dangerous game, yet I can't stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn't be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.
It's my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can't win...and I might not want to.

Best Friends for Never is LIVE!
The movie star and the small-town girl he left behind. They have a lot of catching up to do in an emotional and rousing romantic comedy about fame, second chances, and making dreams come true.
Parker Pruitt’s dream is to restore her small town’s long-shuttered theater—one to be named in honor of Noel Carter, the boy who followed his dream from Emerald Grove, Washington, to Hollywood…and broke Parker’s heart. Now he’s back to attend the kickoff ceremony, and for Parker, that means smiling through a swell of mixed emotions at seeing her former best friend for the first time in a decade.
Noel may be one of the hottest actors in the world, but he’s still touched by the tribute. And a little nervous about seeing Parker again. But when his weekend jaunt extends into a six-week stay, long-repressed memories and feelings come rushing back. As the simmering attraction between them builds, Noel is determined not to ruin this second chance even if his return to LA is hanging over them.
They’re making the best of the time they have left, but is there any chance of a Hollywood ending?

Best Friends for Never Excerpt
Nobody moves. Nobody says anything. And I’m pretty sure it means I’m going on a date with Leonard Figgins, where he will no doubt grill me on any- and everything, and I’ll walk out a headline.
“Five thousand.”
My head whips toward Parker, who is staring down at Leonard with sharp eyes and a face that says Try me.
“You can’t do that,” he tells her, fuming.
“What? I can’t donate to a good cause?” she challenges.
“Yeah, can’t she donate too?” someone says.
“Let her bid!”
The volume kicks up, and everyone agrees that Parker should be allowed to play along with everyone else.
“But you . . . you . . .” Leonard stomps his foot. “Ugh! I’m out.”
Parker smiles victoriously. “Well, there you have it. Noel Carter, sold to the highest bidder—me.”
She bangs the gavel, making it official.
I was wrong. I’m not going on a date with Leonard. I’m going with Parker.
And damn if I haven’t been more excited for anything in my life.

SALE!
Today, I'm tempting you to read my very first traditionally published book, THE DM DIARIES, because it's on sale for $1.99 in the US!
This online romance with a hidden identity is a fun read with low spice, plenty of heart, and lots of banter. You won't want to miss it.
Amazon: https://amzn.to/41eU4ZQ
If you have KU, you can listen for FREE if you borrow the book!
The catfish is out of the bag...
Olive O’Brien is a plus-size influencer with half a million followers and big dreams. And she’s feeling the pressure to stand out while staying true to herself. To cope, Olive finds solace in an unexpected place: the DMs of Jasper Rafferty, the world’s hottest movie star, where she feels safe to share her hopes, fears, and secrets because it’s not like he’ll read them. Until he does. Kind of.
Career-wise, Jasper’s younger brother, Jude, is in free fall. After an interview gone wrong, Jude now has the thankless job of managing his brother’s social media accounts to help reboot his own image. Olive’s messages are unexpected, and her wit and vulnerability catch his interest. How can “Jasper” not respond? And how long can Jude keep up the ruse?
As the DMs get flirtier and more personal, the bigger question is what’ll happen when Olive finds out she’s fallen for a fraud. It might not be what either of them expects.

Sneak Peak at Best Friends For Never
I waltz into the grocery store with a grin, wave to Peggy behind the front counter, who gives me a curt nod, and then head straight for the wine aisle.
If I hadn’t taken that sweet, sweet nap, I would have had more time to peruse the bottles and find us something fun and new to try, but now I’m going to play it safe and grab an old favorite.
Looks like Axel is getting his precious red wine, after all.
I grab the brand I know he loves, then a bottle of white I love just to mess with him and turn toward the front.
Only there’s nowhere to go, and I smack straight into something hard.
When did Peggy put a wall here?
Did I get turned around?
“Shit.”
It’s one word.
One single, tiny word.
And it’s enough to rock my entire world.
I tip my head back, looking up, up, up, and right into the eyes of someone I once thought would be in my life forever.
Into the eyes of someone I was wrong about. Someone I haven’t seen for ten years.
Right into the ocean eyes of Noel Carter, my former best friend.
And the boy who broke my heart.

I have two goals this season:
1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents.
2. Stay single.
I’m right on track…until she happens.
Auden Sinclair.
We’re stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that’s all the promise we make—one night, then we go our separate ways.
Except she pops up again.
Then again.
Suddenly, she’s everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.
The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.

Cover Reveal and New Audio!
Delayed Penalty is now live in audio!
Narrated by: J.F. Harding & Rose Dioro
I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m not a complete screwup.
2. Stay away from the nanny.
I’m hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in.
It’s all going according to plan…until I’m forced to hire Quinn Benson.
She’s everything I need to avoid—flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me.
Thing is, the more she’s around, the more I want her around—and not just as a nanny. I can’t seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn’t. Quinn goes against everything I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t stay away.
This might be one delayed penalty I don’t mind serving…
DELAYED PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a single guardian a bit on the grumpy side, a sunshine nanny who doesn't take any crap from him, an adorable little girl you'll want to hug and keep safe, ridiculous teammates who make way too crude jokes, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.
