I get up on the wrong side of the bed... every single day. They call me grumpy. A downer. Maybe even negative. But when your fiancée shatters your life into a million pieces it can take a while to heal. Enter Gwenivere. She's ethereal, hypnotic and completely stunning. Everything that I'm not. The night she slips into the empty chair next to me during a night out with the team feels like the shutters being thrown open in a blackened room. Her heat pierces my tough outer shell just like a ray of light. And as I swallow her sunshine, she draws me to her. The closer I get, the more I want to claim her as mine. But she's not looking for a knight in shining armor... she has her own thing going on. Helping people. Healing people. They say my heart is broken, and that I don't believe in second chances. But deep down - I do. I want to trust and let her see the real me underneath the gruff exterior. I don't want my sweet Gwen to pay for the sins of the past. And if I let her in - let myself fall again - her soft vulnerability might be exactly what stitches me back together. ***** HOOKED is a full-length steamy ice hockey sports romance from USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles.

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.
