After a devastating injury, I’m getting a second chance to work my way up to the NHL. I just have to save a failing minor-league team first. It starts innocently enough. I get to town and wander into the first bar & grill I find, striking up a conversation with the gorgeous woman sitting next to me. Our witty conversation leads back to my hotel and turns into a steamy version of truth or dare...heavy on the dare. And everything is perfect, until I walk into my new job and discover that she - Tierney - is the new team publicist. This won't be awkward at all. Especially after she announces that she's been tasked with turning the team into TikTok sensations, and hatches a beefcake calendar plan that all of my new teammates hate. While I struggle to become one of the guys instead of the odd man out, behind closed doors, Tierney and I can't resist each other. We're undercover friends with bennies, trying to keep our secret safe while our common quirks threaten to expose us. Shared addiction to Flamin' Hot Cheetos? Yup. Clumsy huggles? Double yup. Don't even get me started on my pet rock, Ginger. When we can't hide any longer, we fake hate in front of the other players. But as St. Patrick's Day rolls around, our ridiculous costumes and affection for each other become impossible to ignore. We're tempted to risk it all for our love, but fate has a few curveballs in store. Will our passion survive the chaos and bring hope to Sorrowville's struggling hockey scene? Or will the team go down the toilet right along with my NHL dreams?

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.
