I’ve been lonely for a long time. She’s the first person who’s ever felt like home. We weren’t supposed to meet like this—a brilliant runaway living in the arena garage with her ferret, and me, the Vegas Venom winger who pretends he likes being alone. Minerva Marino is quiet, anxious, too smart for her own good… and running from a man who won’t let her go. I should’ve walked away. Instead, I let her turn my whole world inside out. Now we’re stuck together—forced proximity, late nights, slow-burn tension I can’t shake. She thinks she’s a burden, but I think she’s the bravest woman I’ve ever met. And I’m done pretending I don’t want more. Because Minerva isn’t just the girl who landed in my orbit. She’s the one shot at love I’m not willing to lose.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
