Cherry Picker
2025
Bill
At the end of a long business conference, I’m eager to get home to my daughter. But a snowstorm strands me in Chicago for the night with my assistant Tate Cherry.
He’s very cute and very off-limits, no matter how much he’s flirting with me tonight. My willpower is put to the test though, when we’re forced to share a hotel room.
Even more so when he makes me an offer I’m unable to refuse.
Tate
After two years of working under Bill Crandell, and fantasizing about being under him in other ways, fate is shining down on me. Tonight will finally be the night we consummate the unnerving tension crackling between us.
It’s my last shot with Bill. I can’t screw it up and develop real feelings for my boss. Not tonight.

Scoring Chance
2026
A totally fake marriage… with very real feelings.
I'm a carefree bachelor who never wanted kids. But it seems life has other plans.
When my best friend and hockey teammate Tanner Chance finds himself jobless with four kids to support, I suggest a wild marriage. My health insurance can cover Tanner’s family, but to keep nosy coworkers from sniffing out the scheme, the whole Chance clan moves in. Together, we pretend to be one big, happy family.
Suddenly, my sleek apartment is overrun with sticky fingers, loud giggles, and chaotic bedtime routines.
As I stumble my way through parenting, I start to realize the kids and Tanner are finding a permanent place in my heart. But when our fake marriage risks exposure, I risk losing not just my job, but the unexpected family I've grown to love. Will this sham marriage turn into something real before our secret unravels?
Scoring Chance is a single dad, friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience MM hockey romance. It's book 2 in The Comebacks series, which revolves around a group of former hockey champions recapturing their magic in a local amateur league, but can be read as a standalone. Whether they win or lose, there's always a post-game beer.
