Famous Last Words

2024

A laugh out loud haters-to-lovers, fake-dating hockey romance. Not so long ago, Robbie Mason had it all. Three Stanley Cup wins, two Hart trophies, and sponsorship deals worth millions. But then he went and broke his own teammate’s jaw, and the best defenseman in the history of the NHL hit rock bottom, hard. Offered one last chance to play on the worst team in the league, the New York Thunder, Robbie knows he has to fix his reputation in order to prove to his coaches and league officials that he’s no longer the infamous bad boy of hockey. With her job on the line, New York City real estate agent, Fran Keller, needs a sale before she loses her one and only listing. When she receives a last-minute viewing request, Fran is prepared to do just about anything to secure a signed deal sheet. That is until she opens the door to Robbie Mason, her old high school nemesis. Fran needs to sell a six-million-dollar apartment to keep her job. Robbie needs a place to live, and just so happens to have six-million bucks to spend. It’s the perfect plan. Robbie buys the apartment and, in exchange, Fran pretends to be his girlfriend. Because what better way to prove that he’s cleaned up his act than by settling down with a nice, young career-driver woman? And, besides, who better to fake a relationship with that someone you can’t stand? Yeah, right…. Famous Last Words.

One Night Only

2025

A spicy, forbidden romance where she's older and he's OBSESSED. ​​Dallas Shaw is a "no strings" kind of guy. Voted NHL’s sexiest goalie two years in a row, he's the league's biggest playboy—a reputation he maintains with pride. But when a pretty blonde crashes into his life like an adorable wrecking ball, what was supposed to be a one night stand turns Dallas’ whole world upside down. When he wakes up alone the morning after, he’s left with nothing but her sweet scent on his pillow and a serious case of longing he’s never felt before. Now, a month later, fate brings Dallas’ dream girl back into his life. And he’s determined to win her over. The only problem? She’s his agent’s new executive assistant, and her employment contract definitely included a pesky non-fraternization clause. Emily Cole, the beautiful woman with honey eyes and hidden scars, unknowingly has Dallas’ heart in the palm of her hand. He can’t stay away from her, no matter how hard she tries to push him or how many times she reminds him that she’s almost 10 years his senior. For the first time in his life, Dallas Shaw is down bad. Now, all he has to do is convince Emily that he's worth the risk. That he's no longer the infamous playboy with a roster of women in every city he's ever played. And, most importantly, that he'll never hurt her the way she's been hurt before. It was supposed to be just one night. One night only. But what if the one night stand is the one? Trigger Warning: One Night Only includes a female protagonist who is a breast cancer survivor. This book includes mention of cancer and cancer treatment, the physiological and psychological effects of cancer and cancer treatments, the mention of lasting effects of cancer treatments, and, most importantly, the journey to learning to love oneself after cancer.
