Johnson x 2

2023

They’re both professional hockey players, albeit for different teams. They’re both attending the same celebrity charity golf tournament. And they both have a hotel reservation under the name ‘J. Johnson’. Or so they thought. What happens when the hotel accidentally only holds one room instead of two? Can these two antagonistic, rival hockey players manage to share a hotel room without any sexy, forbidden, naughty hanky panky? For Jaime Johnson and J.J. Johnson, the answer is… no. A momentary lapse in judgment is all it can be. That’s all they can let it be. But what if underneath all the sniping and squabbling, there was… more? Jaime Johnson and J.J. Johnson know how to handle being enemies. Can they handle falling in love?

Baby Blue

2023

Wearing an oversized foam head and being the mascot of an NHL team might not have been his childhood dream, but Miles Gillespie likes his job with the Bangor Blue Bangers. He just wished that, occasionally, people would remember his name isn’t actually Blue. A PR executive with the Bangers, Scott Delgado feels a certain responsibility to monitor all of Blue’s activities and appearances, even if he isn’t possibly, technically, his boss. And it must be that sense of responsibility that has him flying across the country when Miles gets injured. As Scott gets to know the man inside the suit, will he be able to handle falling for the man with eyes as blue as the synthetic hair of the mascot he plays or will he let their work roles get in the way? This is a 35K word novella, set within the hockey world of Shae Michaels' Stick Handling series. There are mentions of other characters and events from the series, but this can be read as a complete stand-alone work.

Shae lives in Wisconsin with her family and a cat named Stanley who tolerates them. She enjoys reading, of course, hockey, American football, listening to music, and whiling away time on the internet on social media or doing random searches for images of hot guys when she's supposed to be doing other things, like writing or cleaning. Her books are full of slow burn but high heat romance, with a HEA and plenty of interesting characters and humor.
