She broke every one of my rules… and made me glad she did. I’ve got a list. No sleepovers. No holidays. No meeting friends or family. It’s how I survive—keep things casual, keep my heart intact. Then Dr. Violet Sawyer walks into my life—Venom head injury specialist, daughter of a big shot in the front office, and the only woman on earth who makes me want to burn my own rulebook. She needs protection from a teammate who won’t take no for an answer. The solution? Pretend to be her boyfriend. Keep her close. Make it look real. Problem is… it feels real. She stitches me up on the ice, gets under my skin off it, and before I know it… she’s in my bed, breaking every boundary I’ve ever had. Now my so-called rules are dust, my focus is wrecked, and my teammates are betting on how long before I fall for her for good. This isn’t just a game anymore. Violet’s the win I can’t afford to lose—and I’ll fight like hell to keep her.

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.
