A Green Family Vacation Excerpt
I whip around, forgetting whatever Cam was saying. “I’m sorry?”
“We’re just figuring out the rooms. We couldn’t book another room, so this way everyone has their own bed.” Nikki fills me in on a plan that I am not down with.
Grandma puts her arm around my waist and pulls me toward her. “This will be so much fun. Just us girls. Like a prolonged sleepover. Remember when you used to love to sleep over at the house?”
I fake a smile. “Yeah.” Meanwhile, I give a death stare to all my other family members until I remember… I turn and eye Cam. “Who are you staying with?”
He chuckles and glances at Fisher. “Myself.”
Cam goes around our group to the other receptionist and hands over his credit card and ID.
“What? He got a room to himself?” I’m this close to stomping my foot like a three-year-old.
My sister nods. “He got his own room.”
“And why didn’t I?”
“No one thought about it until we got here, and there are no other rooms available.” Nikki puts her hand on my arm like Marla does when she feels as though she’s disappointed us. “I’m sorry. I’m usually on top of these things, but with the baby… I’m not myself these days.”
Since she looks as if she’s seconds from crying, I suck it up. “It’s okay. Yay! A sleepover.” I look at my grandma and drum up the best smile I can.
We all get our keys and head to our rooms. They’re scattered around the resort except for mine and my grandma’s and Dori and Midge’s. Lucky for me, they booked adjoining rooms.

I never felt truly desired by a man—until him.
My sisters are always the ones who catch a guy’s eye at first sight. I’m used to attracting guys because I’m funny, or kind, or have a beautiful face. Never has my curvy figure drawn the attention of a man as hot as Noah.
But the second he stepped foot into my small town Alaskan inn, his gaze swept over me with desire, igniting a flame I thought was dead. He flirted with me, and I might’ve left two chocolates on his pillow at turndown, but that’s where it stayed.
Over the years, he’s floated in and out of town while a friendship developed between us. Which is probably for the best because I’m not a one-night stand kind of woman.
Which is funny because when he propositions me to be his fake fiancé in order to end a family feud, it turns out I am the kind of woman willing to pretend to be the one he’s in love with.

Blurb:
My mom always said you don’t get a second shot at making a first impression. I’ve remembered that my entire career. Especially since I’m one of the few black men who play professional hockey.
I’m calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I’ve never taken a risk… until her.
I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed.
After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other’s city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over.
Then one night after practice I see her. She’s here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that’s not fate tell me what is.
I’ve never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she’s determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.

Second Shot with #76 Excerpt
The Bluetooth kicks in as I answer the call. “Hey, Dad.”
“When will you be able to keep your dick in your pants?”
“Franklin!” my mom hollers in the background.
“One of these days, you’re gonna get someone pregnant and you’ll have a baby mama who wants that paycheck of yours, not your dick.”
“Franklin!”
I sigh and flick on my turn signal. I don’t know where he finds this stuff. “What did you see?”
“I search your name every morning and a new article always pops up.”
“And?” I wave to get this conversation moving even if he can’t see me.
“You were in the ocean with some woman. It’s pretty clear from the pictures what you two are doing, even if it is fuzzy.”

HOCKEY HOTTIE ON SALE!
MY LUCKY #13 (Hockey Hotties #1) is FREE for a limited time!

Lucky.
The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and the team owner is talking about trading me.
I’ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.
Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.
I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.
"My Lucky #13 is smart, sexy and fun! A hot hockey player, a sassy heroine, the best superstition ever, and a slow burn romance that had me panting until they gave in. And if that wasn't enough, a happily ever after that had the crowd cheering. A definite must read!" - Carly Phillips, NY Times Bestselling Author

It’s Ford and Lena’s destination wedding and every professional hockey player joining them for the big day is ready to let loose.
