I BUILT MY FOOTBALL CAREER BY KEEPING EVERYONE AT A DISTANCE. THEN I MET MY SISTER’S BEST FRIEND.

For years, winning was the only thing that mattered.

I was the perfect star quarterback. Focused. Controlled. A team player. I smiled for the cameras, kept my head down, and made damn sure the people I loved stayed safely out of reach.

Until my best friend’s bachelor party forced me back into the life I’d left behind.

And there she was. Lily Callahan.

My sister’s best friend. A single mother with a heart too big for her own good. And someone I had absolutely no business wanting.

It started with one conversation while my defenses were down and turned into hours together that replayed in my mind.

Then came the wedding. Christmas. New Year’s. And suddenly, I was finding every excuse to return to the city I’d spent years avoiding.

Except it wasn’t the city pulling me back.

It was Lily.

She makes me want things I gave up on a long time ago. A home. A family. A future beyond football. Even her daughter has become someone I would protect with my life.

But wanting Lily means letting her past my walls. And I know what happens when I let people get too close.

I’m already the reason someone I love got hurt. I won’t risk becoming the mistake that costs Lily and her daughter everything.

But what happens when the woman I’m determined to protect is the one person who makes me want to stop running?

Blinding Lights is a single mom, best friend’s brother romance in the San Francisco End Game world. This angsty football romance features banter, holiday fun and steam.

🏈Review🏈
Beckett is a professional football player who doesn’t believe that he can have his career and a personal life. It is for this reason that he has remained commitment free however a chance encounter with Lily, his best friend’s sister shows him what has been missing in his life.

Lily is a single mother to her daughter Ava, and she is her whole world. There is nothing she would like more than a man to share her life with, however that hasn’t yet. Seeing Beckett again there is denying the connection between them however their lives couldn’t be more different. As they spend time together she sees the life they could have together, but will Beckett agree.

This is a heartwarming story about love, family and following your heart. Due to his past Beckett has a preconceived idea of his future and when it will happen, but when it comes to Lily and Ava nothing is going according to plan including the unexpected love he has for them.

She’s the one line he can’t afford to cross.

Jackie

I trusted the wrong man and lost everything.

My career. My savings. My home.

And enough faith in my own judgment that moving in with my little brother feels safer than trusting myself again.

Then I go and fall— literally— into the arms of the one man my brother warned me to stay away from.

His enemy. His teammate. The infuriatingly handsome complication I absolutely do not need.

I’m prepared to hate him. But I’m not prepared for the way he makes me feel.

Until I stumble across who he is when no one’s watching, and suddenly I’m seeing Colby in a whole new light.

The moody forward is nothing like my brother said.

And everything I shouldn’t want.

Colby

I know what one mistake can cost, and what it means to spend the rest of your life paying for it.

The guilt. The shame. The tragedy.

I was just a kid when mine happened, and my sister has lived with the consequences ever since.

That’s why I keep people at a distance, and why losing my spot on this team is not an option.

I won’t let my sister down again, and Jackie’s brother is already looking for a reason to get rid of me.

If I don’t keep my head in the game and my hands to myself, Jackie could be that reason.

One kiss crosses the line. One night obliterates it. Every stolen touch makes it harder to remember why she’s off-limits.

If he discovers what we’re doing behind his back, I could lose the game, the girl… and the only future I’ve got left.

Perfect for readers who love:

Brother’s teammate • Forbidden romance • Secret cinnamon roll • Slow burn • Redemption romance • Sailor hero

🏒Review🏒

Colby is a private man who doesn’t allow many people close and doesn’t always say the right thing.   He is having challenges adjusting to his new team and in particular Donovan and if that doesn’t change it could impact his future with them.  He knows that he should keep his distance from Jackie, Donovan’s sister, however when their paths cross in the most unlikely way he is drawn to her in a way he never expected.

With her personal and professional life in turmoil Jackie is now staying with her brother.   She has a preconceived idea of Colby from her brother, but when a chance encounter brings them together she realizes that man she sees and the way he presents himself to everyone else is very different.   She doesn’t believe that she is ready to let anyone into her life which only ups the angst between them.

Although the reasons are very different both Colby and Jackie bear the emotional scars of the past and are both hesitant and cautious.   It was so rewarding to see them break through the walls they have both built and realize that what they share is worth fighting for.

Aria Bad is a tattooist who’s mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.

Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria Bad, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.

Nikki

It’s not easy to live knowing that your best days are behind you. It’s not easy feeling like you have nothing to live for, even with an amazing, lucrative career and a loving family. It’s damn near impossible to keep breathing when the love of your life chooses your best friend and teammate over you. I barely survived by burying that part of myself, leaving my heartbreak firmly in the past. But when a pre-season trade re-opens old wounds, I’m forced to reconsider everything, because if she’s not happy with him…it might be my chance to ensure that this time, she chooses correctly. And this time she won’t have a choice.

Blake

The life of a hockey wife isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When I imploded the best thing that had ever happened to me, I hoped it wouldn’t be for nothing. I hoped there’d be a way to salvage some sort of happiness lying in the bed I’d made. I was worse than wrong, and I’ve paid for it in a million little ways over the last ten years. Now, thrust back into the life of the person I hurt the most, the reality is worse than I expected. It’s not just that I have to see him, looking better than ever, and remember the love that I thought I had imagined. It’s that everything from the past feels like it’s just below the surface, waiting to explode. Every stolen glance, every barely there touch…it’s kindling on a pyre that will destroy everything.

I spent years of my childhood dreaming of the day I’d call Atlas Grant my own.

He was my older brother’s best friend, my protector, my friend, and the guy I had loved for as long as I could remember.

I bided my time, waiting until I was old enough to make my move.

But the moment I finally worked up the courage to tell him how I felt, he shattered my heart without a second thought.

Since then, I’ve done everything I could to avoid him.

Too bad that’s no longer an option… Because now I’m on a plane to Las Vegas for a combined bachelor and bachelorette weekend. Which means spending the next few days with Atlas is unavoidable.

If I can’t escape him, I’ll settle for making the football superstar regret ever rejecting me.

But you know what they say about Vegas…

What happens there stays there.

Well, unfortunately for us, some things can’t be buried under those neon lights.

When Henley was 18 she declared her feeling for Atlas, her brother’s best friend, and was hurt when he didn’t feel the same. Since then, she kept her distance however that is about to be put to the test when they both will be in Vegas to celebrate their friends upcoming nuptials.

Seeing Henley again intensifies the feelings that Atlas has had for Henley. When their fun night together results in an impromptu marriage he isn’t disappointed and now he needs to show her that this wasn’t a mistake, but they are meant to be together.

Henley is feisty, fiery and not about to just forgive and forget the past, but Atlas is determined in his pursuit to show her that she can count on him to be there for her both when it comes to the little things he does for her but the romance as well.

Christmas was supposed to be quiet for nurse and former Army medic Tessa Hensley until a wrecked motorcycle and a mouth-watering biker crashes into her life.

Caleb “Bear” Lawson is big, tattooed, and far too tempting to resist. Taking him home to recover should’ve been a mistake…but one smoldering look, one stolen kiss, and suddenly Tessa’s holiday feels anything but lonely.

She knows he’s not here to stay. He knows walking away will hurt like hell.

This Christmas, sparks fly, hearts tangle, and Tessa learns some gifts are impossible to give back.

Give Me Tonight by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!

Waking up married in Vegas? Not exactly part of the plan.
Especially when the groom is Jax Wilder—Chicago Railers hockey star, shameless flirt, and the most infuriating man I’ve ever met.
I want an annulment.
He wants to stay married.
But with custody of my younger siblings on the line, a stable home—and a husband—might be exactly what I need to keep us together.
Jax offers me a deal: stay married, move into his penthouse, and let him help until everything is settled.
It’s only temporary.
Except Jax doesn’t just make room for me. He makes room for all of us.
And somewhere between family dinners, late nights, and sharing a bed with the husband I never wanted, our marriage starts feeling dangerously real.
Falling for my husband was never part of the plan. Neither was wanting to keep him.
Give Me Tonight is an enemies-to-lovers, Vegas wedding, pro hockey romance featuring a golden retriever hero who falls first—and a black cat heroine who’s spent her whole life standing on her own. He’s determined to prove he’s in it for the long haul… even if she’s terrified to believe him.

🏒Review🏒
Even though it is challenging trying to finish her education while being responsible for her three siblings Sawyer, Faith and Caleb, Sloane wouldn’t change a thing. She is determined to be independent and do it on her own until a birthday trip to Vegas leads to a marriage and a husband. She wants to pretend it never happened however Jax has other ideas.

Jax has had feelings for Sloane for a while however he has been unable to convince her to give him a chance. Their marriage is a way to show her that she is no longer alone and that she can count on him to be there for her, show her that what they share is real and that allowing others to help is a strength and not a weakness.

Jax is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony and the relationship he shares with her siblings is heartwarming as they become his family as well. Their journey to happiness is filled with humorous interactions, great chemistry, intense feelings and a love that is built on being there for each other.

Second Chance, Forced Proximity

Release Date: October 22, 2026

BLURB

From author LM Fox comes the next steamy, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, second chance romance. It stars a down on his luck playboy who has spent his life in the shadow of his successful older brother and the one woman who could turn his whole world upside down.

Step 1: Stop partying.

Step 2: Save my family vineyard.

Step 3: Find a fake wife before time and money run out.

Everyone in town knows Samuel Lee is a reckless playboy who lives in his successful older brother’s shadow. And honestly? I’ve accepted that. Why bother trying when everyone expects you to fail? If you’re going to be labeled “The Spare,” you might as well have a good time doing it.

But when my grandfather’s will drops a bombshell, the party comes to a screeching halt. His legacy hangs on one impossible condition. I have to settle down, marry, and prove it’s real.

With time running out and my pockets running dry, there’s only one woman who can make this work. And I’ll need a damn miracle to convince her to wear my wedding ring. Because Alexis Patterson despises the very ground I walk on.

This is more than marrying my old childhood friend. If I manage to persuade this strong willed beauty to consider this, how do I walk away when it’s over? I’m certain when the lines between fake and real begin to blur, it will be torture. I already know I want it all: the vineyard, the town’s respect, and the love of the one woman who was always supposed to be by my side.

Sam has always known his place in his family which is an afterthought as he has been told that over and over. As a result, he is a man who lives a life filled with casual relationships and fun until he needs to save his family’s vineyard. The only thing standing in his way is to claim his trust fund however that includes marriage and the only woman he can see being his wife is Lexi even if he previously destroyed their friendship.

Lexi and Sam have a past that didn’t end well and she still has questions about why. She has moved forward with her life and is now an accomplished doctor who isn’t about to turn her back on Sam but that doesn’t mean that she is willing to letting him break her heart for a second time.

Although it wasn’t without its setbacks the growth of Sam was inspiring as Lexi shows him that he is perfect just the way he is, and he learns to trust in her and their love. The turmoil is real, the romance swoony and the banter entertaining as Sam and Lexi take us on an emotional journey.

Breakaway Bet by Lisa Suzanne is now live!

Waking up with a ring on my finger and a professional hockey player in my bed was not on my Vegas itinerary. Especially since that hockey player is Vegas Vengeance superstar Cash Maddox, my brother’s sworn enemy.

But maybe he’s exactly the kind of reckless choice I need.

I’m the youngest Bradley…sheltered, overprotected, and, yes, still a virgin. He’s an experienced bad boy a decade older than me.
But a white dress and too much tequila lead us straight to a wedding chapel I don’t remember visiting.

When the hangover wears off, I realize this is my chance to break away from my family’s constant hovering. We agree to two simple rules: pretend we’re happily married, and don’t let feelings get involved.

Except Cash makes pretending a little too easy. Behind his cocky smirk is a fiercely protective, thoughtful man who inspires me to take risks. Every heated glance and stolen touch leaves me aching for him to be my first.

I was only supposed to stay married to him.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for him.

But the more I hear Cash call me his wife, the more I want it to be real.

Until the secret he’s keeping catches up with us.

And when I discover the truth, all bets are off.

🏒Review🏒
Ivy is tired of being protected by her older siblings even if it comes from a place of caring. Now that she has finished school, she has moved to Vegas to work at her sister’s company. While celebrating her birthday she meets Cash and the sparks fly until her brother puts a stop to it, but it doesn’t end there as he comes to her work to hire her to launch his tequila brand.

Cash is a professional hockey star who was attracted to Ivy from the moment he saw her but he wants nothing to do with any Bradley due to the trouble that could have happened which he blames them for. A bet between him and his teammate leads to a marriage that came about due to a little too much fun and alcohol and now they decide to stay married to protect both their reputations. Developing feelings for each other was against the rules but their hearts didn’t agree and now a secret stands between them that could destroy everything.

The romance between Ivy and Cash was fun to watch and the chemistry between them intense. When all is revealed, you can feel Ivy’s hurt, but Cash isn’t about to just let her walk away and now he needs to show her that what they share is very real and that she is all that matters. As a bonus we get to catch up with the entire Bradley family which is always entertaining.

One More Goal is a fake dating, opposites attract romance…

As the newest forward for the Jacksonville Mud Hens, I’m determined to make a name for myself.

But it’s not easy. I stumble my way through interviews and choke when there are lights and cameras in my face. When the fans get a little too friendly, I freeze up. My public persona is taking a nosedive and my rookie season has just begun.

The solution? A fake relationship. Apparently, a girlfriend will make me look more approachable, and she’ll have no trouble telling fans to keep their hands off her man.

My team and my publicist think they’ve found the perfect person for the job. She’s a figure skater. She’s gorgeous. And her reputation could use a little rehab, too.

But she’s no stranger. I already know Emersyn Zabek. How could I forget being snowed in with the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen? How could I forget losing my virginity to her?

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t have asked for a better fake girlfriend.

My feelings for Em are far from fake.  They’re heating up as the days go by. And when her safety is threatened, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep her out of harm’s way.

One More Goal is the first book in the Dirty Puckers Book Club pro hockey series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love sassy heroines, stoic heroes, and enough steam to melt your Kindle, then Leo and Emersyn are the perfect couple for you!
