Bad Boy Romance Anyone?
He Has Charm - coming soon...
Excerpt:
Maddox
"If I'd known there was a camera running, I swear I would have kept my clothes on.
But how was I supposed to know? I was blindfolded."
Long story short, my life of bachelorhood fun, otherwise known as debauchery, unchecked except by hockey--though maybe playing in the NHL actually enhanced the-more-women-the-merrier lifestyle--whatever, said lifestyle came to a sudden halt when the unplanned video went viral, spreading the exploits of my blindfolded birthday adventure far and wide. Now I'm known better as the porn star of the NHL than one of its leading scorers.
Traded and sentenced to spending the remainder of the season being watch-dogged by one of the most serious jailers--I mean agents--I've ever met, Harper the jailer tells me I need to pretend I'm a monk. Too bad she also happens to be temptation in a pin-striped suit sent to test my resolve with her sweet buns.
But it's only for four months, so I can contain my lust, right? Concentrate on hockey and winning and ignore sugar buns. Easy, right?
Problem is there's a lot more to Harper than sugar and buns...
Pre-order now! He Has Charm

Hockey + Romance = Yikes!
There's something about those college years that's super exciting, dorms, sororities, the players--especially the hockey jocks!
Hockey players are understated in their cocky confidence and in killer shape--talk about stamina!!
Did you know they need to eat 7,000 calories a day to make up for all that energy they expend on the ice?
And that doesn't even count the Big D energy.
My newest release, Your Kiss Is On My List , all about a hockey player at St. Paul U and his best friend from childhood who is too grown up not to want a new grown up relationship with, and their ill-fated fake girlfriend-boyfriend pretense.
Of course there's a whole lot more to the story, but here's a little TEASER:
"Come with me to my dad's house in New York for the weekend. I need the moral support."
"What's the catch?" Because the way she's looking at me, I know there is one.
"We'll have to share a bedroom because I told him we were... serious."
"Serious? Seriously?" I'm stalling to get my sh*t together because I'm not sure if she's inviting me to sleep with her or if she expects me to sleep on the floor. There's no way I can sleep on the floor with her in the bed in the same room. No sleeping would be involved either way.
"Well?" she prompts and I'm still afraid to ask about her intentions...

Writing angsty college romance
Is not for the faint of heart!
Currently writing: Bad Man on Campus - a second chance hockey romance
The thing is, Kace isn't really bad, just misunderstood.
Mostly because of a tragedy that happened his summer before going away to St. Paul University.
The same tragedy that tore him and the love of his young life apart.
Starting fresh at St. Paul's was fun, but after leaving a trail of broken hearts, it was clear he wasn't over his high school sweetheart...
Glory Rose.

Big Man on Campus: Snippet Anyone?
I'm at the point in writing this story where the excitement of knowing the characters so well and all the blood, good and bad, they have between them is driving me to write, write, write--even when I should be doing something else.
Here's a Snippet:
Joni
His truck is parked out front of the building in a spot usually reserved for professors and he opens my door when we reach it. I give him a neutral look, or as neutral as I can make my face, not willing to part with my feelings voluntarily, not sure what they’re all about except a churning deep in my gut and a heat swirling and touching all those places that should be forbidden to the likes of Jack Hunter. My tormenter from the past and sworn enemy. And now my Calculus savior?

BMOC Research Tidbits
Big Man on Campus
Even college romance stories require research though heaven knows I've been there and done that!
The Latest RESEARCH TIDBITS
So one of the things that's cool to do in a story is have a "signature scent" for the hero and/or heroine.
But I didn't want it to be the same old spicy musky scent, so I did some research.
How?
I googled men's colognes. And I found the perfect one for Jack Hunger, BMOC. Since he doesn't have a lot of money, I didn't want to use one of those crazy expensive chi-chi designer colognes. So this is what I found!
Perfect, don't you think?
Here's the ad copy:
"Hard-working men don't have time to screw around with messy sprays that leave them smelling like they were attacked by the perfume lady at the mall. They need a fool-proof way to smell good on the go.... perfect for gym bags... lasts a good long time"
The Scent:
"The Bourbon Solid Cologne offers a woodsy, oak barrel scent inspired by the rack houses at our favorite place in the world, the Buffalo Trace Distillery."
To get the intoxicating description of Jack's signature scent--and why--you'll have to read the story...
