Game Changer ( Book One) Blurb:

New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. When a particular smoothie precedes Scott's breaking his on-ice slump, he’s desperate to recreate the magic…and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.

Kip Grady knew there was more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon—and more. What goes on between them is hot, incredible and frequent…but also only on Scott’s terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.

Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career or the public’s image of what a hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

Most Valuable Playboy (book one) Blurb:

When the hot new quarterback desperately needs a fake girlfriend he turns to his best friend's sister, only to find that she may turn out to be the woman of his dreams even though she's been right there all along…

When I enter the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction, my goal is simple—be the player who goes for the most dough. But when trouble shows up at the auction, I need a whole new play.

Enter Violet—she's my best friend's sister and she's my close friend too. With a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash, Violet saves the day with the highest bid. I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend. 

Which would be fine except my agent tells me we've got to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract. Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, and soon our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport.

But falling for her wasn't in the playbook…

Flawless (book one) blurb:

Rhett Eaton lives for three things: riding bulls, causing trouble, and doing exactly what he wants. But when an outburst threatens his career, his team brings in a professional babysitter. Enter Summer Hamilton, his agent's daughter.

She has no interest in rodeos, cowboys, or babysitting overgrown man-children. Too bad she's stuck with Rhett for the entire season. He's arrogant. She's uptight. He thinks rules are made to be broken. She wrote the rulebook. But somewhere between the fake smiles, endless road trips, and the occasional hotel mix-up that leaves them sharing a bed, the line between enemies and something much more starts to blur.

Summer says there are boundaries they shouldn't cross. That his reputation can't take any more hits and neither can her damaged heart.

Rhett says he's going to steal it anyway.

First-time caller (book one) blurb:

Aiden Valentine has a secret: he’s fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, that’s a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom Lucie, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight.

Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life—or lack thereof—she begins to question if she’s as happy as she thought. Maybe a little more romance wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending. . . even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final call between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.
