Blurb:

I can’t decide if my new summer tenant—a devastatingly handsome hockey player and single dad—is the answer to my problems or the start of a new one.

When big-city developers threaten to buy up my small town, I need to save the rental cottage next door from demolition. I have a plan . . . until Daniel Sutton checks in.

Six-four, a face chiseled by the gods, and a body built by a career on the ice, I’m knocked sideways. He’s charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, it’s electric.

But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I can stop myself, I’m offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my problems. He’ll buy the cottage for me if I help him clean up his reputation.

Sounds simple enough. But when I start to fall in love with him, even though I know he’s leaving in a few months, it’s suddenly more complicated than ever.

I’m willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin ice, he’s going to have to sacrifice something—me or his career.

I just hope XOXO, Summer isn’t the last thing I ever say to him.

Jennifer Sucevic has revealed the narrators for Promise Me This!

Narrated by: JF Harding & Savannah Peachwood

Releasing June 25, 2026

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart.

I never planned to end up pregnant, alone, and starting over. But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby… even if I have no idea what comes next.

Taking a live-in nanny job for Laiken Lennox is supposed to be temporary. A fresh start. A safe place to land while I rebuild my life. It’s not supposed to be dangerous.

Laiken is my brother’s teammate.
My new boss.
A guarded NHL goalie and devoted single dad already fighting a custody battle.

I tell myself I can handle the proximity.
The late nights.
The way he looks at me like I’m something worth saving.
But living under his roof blurs every line I swore I wouldn’t cross.
Especially when he starts caring for me in ways no one else ever has.

I’m carrying another man’s baby.
He’s the last person I should fall for.
But the more time we spend together, the more Laiken feels like the one thing I can’t lose.
And when the truth comes out, it could cost me everything.

Promise Me This is a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart. It’s book four in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.

💍Marriage in repair

🩷Only ever been you

🍼Surprise baby (but not how you’d think)

🏁Former NASCAR driver

🏠Small town romance

🩷Heat and heart and HEA

A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.

Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.

Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.

Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.

Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, I’ll do anything to keep her.

Enter Dart Rivers again.

An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s still mine.

Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man I’ve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.

But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dart’s new promises?

Rogue River series is a spin-off from the Sterling Falls series, specifically Sterling Touch, giving readers small-town romances with characters over 40.

🔥(secret) fake relationship

🔥reunited with high school nemesis

🔥opposites attract

🔥hot nerd hero

🔥he falls first

🔥horrible double dates

Their secret fake relationship began with a little white lie…

Nora

My ginger beer brewery is, quite literally, my life. Unfortunately, I’m about to lose it. My male business partner’s new fiancée is insanely jealous, and it’s only a matter of time before she forces him to quit.

So I ask him what it’ll take for her to back down.

A boyfriend.

I make one up, telling her it’s too early to introduce him, which works up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother.

She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason I’ve been keeping my boyfriend secret is because it’s him.

I should definitely set her straight. Cormac is the last person I’d ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. I’ve known him since high school, and he’s awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant.

But I’m desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever.

Cormac

Nora begs me to be her secret fake boyfriend–an act that only has to work on two people.

Any sane man would refuse, but I’ve promised my father to make peace with her. So I present her with an offer: dog sit my corgi for a weekend, and I’ll be the fake boyfriend of your dreams.

She accepts quickly, because she’s never met my dog.

There’s only one problem: I had a huge crush on Nora in high school, and the more time we spend together, the more I realize it never went away.

**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series**

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes

A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

Blurb: 

I survived a deployment because of her letters, so there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her now…

I was fully prepared to come home in a box. In the dust of Afghanistan, I’d accepted that my life was worth exactly as much as the brothers standing beside me. But then the packages started arriving. My buddy’s little sister quickly became my only tether to a world that made sense. And her letters kept me from losing my mind when the world went dark.

Somehow I managed to trade the battlefield for the Knightdale Charter, and since I’ve been home I’ve used the club’s business to drown out the echoes of war. I’ve never stopped thinking about her, but I’ve kept my distance from her world of soft edges and quiet dreams. We are opposites in every way. The only thing we have in common is her brother.

Then one phone call changes everything. She’s drowning in grief and caught in the chaos that follows every soldier home from war. The moment she whispers my name, I’m done for. Now I can’t stay away, but I can be the stoic shoulder she can cry on. Yet the moment she collapses into my arms, every instinct I have starts screaming a single truth: she’s mine. And I don’t just want to comfort her, I want to make her forget the pain.

She thinks she has to face this darkness on her own, but this woman’s love carried me through a war. I leave no man behind, so she’s not shouldering this burden alone. We’ll get through this together, no matter what it takes.

🏍️Review🏍️

When Jo was going through a devastating time she reached out to Hawk, her brother’s best friend, even though they were estranged.   She expects that they would get through the turmoil and he would walk out of her life for a second time, so she is cautious about letting him into her heart and her life.

While Hawk was serving his country the one bright spot were the packages he would receive from Jo.   When he returned he was having difficult adjusting to civilian life which meant distancing himself from her and finding a new life with the MC.   Seeing her again he realizes what a mistake that was and now he needs to convince her to give him a second chance.

This is an emotional story about grief, guilt and second chances which includes a little suspense and a touching romance.   Michael Norman Johnson brings out the protector in Hawk while Sarah Puckett brings out the strength of Jo.

Blurb:

Lucifer has come a long way since being trapped in Hell. Trading darkness for a life in the light, he’s built a family with the Guardians and their mates—a future he never thought possible. But when a familiar nemesis threatens his peace, he’s determined to end the Daemon King once and for all.

Until his plan is interrupted by an unexpected complication.

Summoned by Archangel Cassiel, he’s forced to bond with Scarlet, a celestrial with secrets of her own. Yet something about her pulls at him in ways he can’t ignore—a connection that feels unlike anything he’s ever experienced. And despite her frosty demeanour and sharp tongue, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to let her go.

Tricking her way into working for London’s only Archangel, Scarlet will do anything to seek revenge, and finally lay her brother to rest. Even if that means spying on Lucifer, a frustratingly hedonistic and unpredictable man.

As she’s drawn deeper into Lucifer’s battle against the Daemon King, Scarlet finds herself torn between vengeance and a growing attraction that’s nothing but a distraction, one that could cost her everything.

Because leaving her past behind was dangerous enough, and now she finds herself risking not just her mission, but her very soul.

Why you will love this book…

🌺Small Town

💛Firefighter

🌺Forced Proximity

💛Grumpy/Sunshine

🌺He Falls First

💛Slow Burn

🌺Found Family

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Billionaire Hero

🥃Small Town Romance

🔥Not his baby

🥃Grumpy/Sunshine

🔥Found Family

🥃Suspense

I came to Whispers to start over. Just me, my baby, and a bakery that smells like second chances.

No more judgmental glances. No more family who treated me like a stain they couldn’t scrub out. Just flour, sugar, and the quiet hope that I can build a life worth living.

I didn’t expect to meet Griffin.

Grumpy, gorgeous, and maddeningly closed off, he’s the town’s most elusive billionaire and the man who built homes for the rich but never made one for himself.

He sees me. Not just the bump or the baggage, but the woman underneath. And when he looks at me like I’m the only thing that’s ever made sense, I forget how to breathe.

But trust isn’t something I can afford. My past has taught me to be wary of everyone. Even if the grumpy builder says he’s ready to fight for something real. 

I just hope he knows what it costs.

Blurb:

I’ve never been one who thought she needed a man by her side. I’m a strong independent woman who likes to give a middle finger to the patriarchy, you know?

But whenever I do find myself in a bind—a bad date, an arrest, you know, normal things—Cole Campbell is always there.

He’s my knight in shining football pads.

And so when I need a place to stay, my brother’s best friend is there with a key in his hand.

Living with a man I’ve known since childhood should be easy. Except seeing him walk around the apartment shirtless with only a towel around his waist has me biting my lip…among other things.

We try to keep it friendly, but the pull is too strong. The chemistry is undeniable. And when our lips touch for the first time? We both know this is more than a mutual crush.

Our living situation was supposed to be temporary,

Only it’s starting to feel like forever.

Which is probably dumb, right? Falling in love with your brother’s best friend? The man who’s paid millions of dollars to protect him on the football field?

Definitely not what a strong, independent woman would do.

We know we need to come clean. But how?

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about football over the years, it’s that teammates shouldn’t fall for sisters.

And sisters shouldn’t fall for their brother’s best friend.

About JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS (Coming 6/3/2026):

Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?

Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team’s broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.

Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.

It’s the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I’ll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.

We need rules though.

1. To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.
2. That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.
3. When it ends, we walk away.

But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.

Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.

If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.
