The Girl in the Hockey Jersey

2023

When a mystery girl wearing my hockey jersey and a matching toque to mine tumbles out of a post-game party, I have to follow her. When we end up at the bar, trading stories and laughs? I have to make a play for the rest of the night. That she only wants one night, and doesn’t want to give me her name…those are problems for the morning. And that tiny niggle of worry? I have to ignore it... The Girl in the Hockey Jersey is a one-night stand prequel that takes place two years before The Playing Game, a full length novel!

The Playing Game

2023

NHL veteran player Kieran Marsh has had more relationships than trips to the sin bin, making him a player on and off the ice. And two years ago, I had a one night stand with him when I thought I would forever stay the anonymous girl in the hockey jersey. But now my city has an expansion team, and guess who's one of their star players? Of course I accept an offer to go see the opening night game. I can't stay away, even though hockey destroyed my family, and so much about Kieran reminds me of the worst things my father ever did to my mother. And when Kieran sees me in the stands? I know nothing is going to be the same again. This is his game, and he knows how to win.

The Scoring Secret

2024

Hook up with the irritating hockey player living downstairs? Never. Fall in love with his sexy online alter-ego, on the other hand… a girl might just accidentally do that. The first time I meet Ty Connor, he comes off as a privileged jerk. The second time, he’s breaking into my best friend’s apartment…apparently, with her permission. And his arrival in my life coincides with the start of a brutal dry spell in my dating life. Do I blame him for that? Maybe a little. So we’re not going to be friends. But it’s impossible to fully ignore a guy I share a stairwell with. The only bright spot is an online sexting buddy who I can’t meet in person, because I can’t handle one more bad date. That is, until my feelings for my anonymous online pen pal collide headfirst with the sizzling attraction starting to burn with the jerk downstairs. Now my best friend is marrying his teammate, and things are getting complicated. It can’t be more than a secret, summer fling... one that ends before the hockey season starts again. Because I won’t risk falling for another beautiful, talented man who is so far outside my league, nobody would ever believe us as a real couple. The Scoring Secret is a spicy, blush-inducing slow burn hockey romance with “You’ve Got Mail for the Tinder age” vibes.

The Rebound Plan

2024

I’ve got one week to get my head in the game and forget about my inconvenient attraction to my teammate’s wife. A relaxing retreat to cottage country with my teammates is the perfect way to prep for the upcoming hockey season. Or so I thought. Now I’m trapped in my cabin with my crush–and her jerk of a husband–where it's impossible to get space or clarity. Or get over her. And that mission becomes even harder when I learn that Shannon’s marriage is failing. With the lines of loyalty and friendship becoming blurred, and relationships being tested in all directions, I know I need to tap the brakes hard. Until one night when everyone else is at a party down the lake, and the team captain makes me an offer I can’t refuse…to share his wife, and have a taste of the forbidden I always assumed was forever out of reach. The Rebound Plan is a swoony forbidden romance between a tall, growly, protective hockey player and a failed model-turned-escort-turned-WAG who needs to learn to love herself as much as she loves those around her. It's not a love triangle - you know who to root for from page one. #TeamRuss the whole way.
