Blurb:
Xavier and Clara kissing in a tree…
When your best friend growing up is a girl, that’s the song your classmates taunt you with over and over again. But it was never like that… until now.
It’s always been Clara and me. She’s the only one who truly knows me. After I was drafted into the NFL and ended up the starting quarterback for the San Francisco Kingsmen, I begged her to come with me. But she had her own life and responsibilities back in our small Alaskan town, so I didn’t fault her for staying.
We remained the best of friends despite the distance. I’d hang with her in Alaska during the off season, and she’d visit me in California while I was playing. Then, one night the lines blurred for the briefest of moments and set in motion a series of events that changed everything.
I’m not proud of the decisions I made after that fateful night, and I plan on making amends, because I need Clara back in my life. But not as my best friend—as my everything.

This small town romance series set in the fictional town of Lake Starlight, Alaska follows the lives of nine orphaned Bailey siblings as they tumble into love.

The eldest Bailey, Austin, meets his match after a one-night stand with a mystery woman. Little does he know she’s the new principal of the high school he teaches at.
Advice from a Jilted Bride (The Baileys #2)
Brooklyn Bailey is dumped at the altar but finds solace in arms of her new neighbor across the hall. But Wyatt isn’t who he says he is, not entirely.
Birth of a Baby Daddy (The Baileys #3)
Rome Bailey has finally returned home and given up his playboy ways to open a new restaurant in town. He could’ve never predicted that the woman he’d spent one night with years before would come looking for him with a baby on her hip.
Operation Bailey Wedding (The Baileys #3.5)
Austin and Holly’s big day is approaching, and all nine siblings are pitching in to help. Like anything with the Baileys, not everything goes according to plan.

My Scorned Best Friend Excerpt
I shake my head. “Nah. I’m heading to the library.”
“Clara?” She smiles.
“Why else would I go?” I laugh and she does too.
“Let me grab you her usual so you can take it over. She’s been working like crazy lately.” The door shuts before I can say anything.
“She’s been busy with the auction, I assume?”
My grandma’s lips purse for a moment. “Well, since you haven’t been here, let me fill you in. Gavin said there’s nothing in the budget for a library extension. Gave her some five-year plan and even then, it would still be a maybe. So, she has the auction and some other fundraisers. The poor girl is fighting for something I’m not sure she’ll be able to pull off. But I’m sure it keeps her from thinking of—” She sips her coffee as though she wasn’t midsentence.
“Grandma?”
“Huh?”
“You were saying something.”
She shakes her head. “No. I just meant the poor girl has been through so much. First her dad lost at sea, her mom dying, her grandma dying, and then, you know.” She nods at me.
“Are you suggesting she lost me?” I point at my chest in disbelief. “Because she gave me up.”
“I’m sure she had her reasons.” She gives me a “tell me I’m wrong” expression.
I shake my head. “Has she told you something?”
She leans forward and pats my leg. “Grandmas know these things. You should talk to Cade. Hear how happy he is with Presley and now little Leighton.”
I crinkle my eyebrows, trying to follow her line of thinking. Maybe her mind is going. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
She raises a shoulder and lets it drop. “It was bound to happen. You each have your own scars from that day.”
My chest tightens. “I should go.” I move to stand, but she pats my knee again.
“It’s okay to love again. Those models you’re dating.” She shakes her head. “They aren’t the ones for you.”
“Giulia and I broke up.”
“Yes, but then I saw pictures of you and another one the other day.”
“That was just a dinner.”
She sighs, finishes her coffee, and leaves money on the table under her mug. “Well then, you go to dinner with the wrong women.”
“Great, thanks.”
She shakes her head at me as though she’s disappointed.
“Clara and I are—were—just friends if that’s where you’re going with this.”
She’s quick to hold up her hands in defense. “Hey, it’s none of my business.”
“Yet you’ve been harping on it since I sat down. Here I thought maybe you just missed me.” I stand and shove my hands in my pockets because damn, it’s cold up here.
She steps up to me and signals for me to bend down. Once I’m in range of her hands, she presses them to my cheeks. “Everyone misses you here, but one person has been lost for some time without you. I think this trip, you need to make amends.

The guy who doesn’t know when it’s time to retire. Still, I can’t bear the thought of leaving the game.This past year I’ve reflected on all my regrets, and I told myself that once I retire it’ll be the time to find the right woman. But this is where it gets tricky.I think I’ve found her—although she’ll deny our connection to anyone who asks. We’ve been sleeping together casually and since I’m still playing hockey, I’ve let her get what she wants—me—whenever she wants.After being told my career as a player is over, the owner of Florida Fury grants me a shot to stay in the game. A coaching position I didn’t know I wanted until it was offered. The catch? He’s also passing the family business down to his daughter.Who’s his daughter?The woman who’s been in and out of my bed for the past year. Which means the woman I intend to make mine is now my new boss.

Offside with #55 Excerpt
Then again, maybe she’s right. Maybe I shouldn’t be fucking the owner during my first year of coaching. Still, the idea leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I lay my chopsticks on the napkin next to my plate and slide out of my chair. “Your wish, as always, Jana, is my command. See you at the office.” I wink and walk out of the kitchen.
“Kane, stop being so dramatic,” she says to my back.
But I continue toward the door. The fact that she doesn’t follow me tells me everything I need to know. No matter how hard I try, Jana might never break. I’m wasting my time.
The door shuts behind me, and I climb into my truck and drive away without putting up much of an argument, just like she wants me to.
