Excerpt:
“We should dance,” she coos. “Wouldn’t that be fun?”
“Darlin’, as long as you don’t mind your toes being stepped on a few times, let’s do it,” I drawl, standing and taking her hand in mine and tugging her upward.
I’m aware of Tripp’s glare on us, but when Saylor waves her fingertips at him, he waves back.
His expression is odd, but so is hers. Before I can think on it too much, she tugs me out onto the dance floor. And I’m just thankful as hell when it switches from some fast-beat pop shit to a slow country song by Riley Green.
Fuck, I’m jealous of that dude’s mustache. To be honest, I’m sort of jealous of everything when it comes to the dude. Sometimes, I open TikTok, and I swear to fuck, he’s half my feed. I can’t even be mad at the dude either because he’s one smooth motherfucker.
She wraps her arms around my neck, flashing me a drunken grin as my arms slide around her waist. “Worst Way” plays, and for a country song, that shit is sexy as hell.
“So, you didn’t tell me, what are you doing here, drinking all by yourself, sweet thing?” I murmur, tilting my head closer to hers so that our foreheads almost touch.
She tries to shrug it off, but there’s a pain in her eyes I’ve never seen before. I don’t know what happened to her, but I know she’s sad.
“Sometimes, a girl just wants to drink alone, Pretty Boy,” she says, her voice as smooth as silk.
“Easier to pick up guys like you when I don’t have any competition.”
“Right.” I practically snort. “Guys like me.”
“Well, yeah,” she coos. “Attractive, muscly, rich guys like you.” She winks. “And let’s not forget, you said you have a big dick. So, basically, you’re a top-tier hookup choice.”
“Careful with the words you’re throwing around, darlin’,” I mumble. “You’ll get more than you’re bargaining for.”
We sway on the dance floor, and with every passing second, it feels like our bodies are closer even though they aren’t.
“What I’m bargaining for is a release, Cambridge. Because I could really, really use one after this week.” She tries to play bashful, but it’s an act. “What do you say, Ry-Ry? Can you put this supposedly big dick to good use and help a girl out?”
Holy fucking shit.
In all the years I’ve known Saylor, I’ve been wildly attracted to her, but I’ve never made a pass at her out of respect for her brother. That, and Saylor always seems to have some love interest, even if it is just a fuck buddy. But admire her? Fantasize about her? That I’ve done. A lot.
“Are you trying to use me as a revenge fuck, Saylor?” I say, sliding my hands a little lower,
resting them just above her ass. “Is that it?”
“Does it matter?” She cocks her head to the side. “You either want to fuck me or you don’t. My reasoning behind why I’m doing this doesn’t really matter, does it?” She slides one hand from my neck to my chest. “Either way, I’m craving a man’s touch. And, yeah … fucking one of Rowan’s friends—or in your case, ex-friend—well, that’s just the icing on the cake, baby.”
BLURB:
Life as a professional hockey player keeps me plenty busy, and yet it often feels like I’m on autopilot as the world passes me by. I suppose I can’t complain. I have the honor of calling myself a New England Bay Shark, so I have more than enough money to buy some form of happiness.
Sleeping around with beautiful women may come with the territory, but I’ve never taken the time to actually get to know any of them. In fact, there’s only one I’ve relentlessly thought about, but she’s off-limits. Everyone knows you can’t go after your best friend’s little sister. Especially if he’s already forbidden it.
I’ve had a crush on Saylor Sawyer since I met her years ago, and even though I’ve spent many showers and nights alone creating my own fantasies, starring her, I know I can’t
act on those … filthy thoughts.
No matter how hot they are.
When a teammate hurts her badly, Saylor’s on the warpath, looking for sweet revenge. I just happen to be the lucky bastard sitting at the other end of the bar.
One hookup gets entangled with a lie, and things get complicated fast. But the lie wasn’t mine, and I’m going to make damn sure she knows it too.
See, the night she used me to get back at her ex awakened a beast inside of me. A beast that only wants Saylor Sawyer.
A beast that won’t stop until she’s mine.

About THE OVERTIME KISS (Coming 6/18/2025):
Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.
Until one night, the tension snaps.
Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.
But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.
Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.
The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.
Tropes: single dad/nanny, runaway bride, forced proximity, spicy lessons, she’s his daughter’s skating coach, confession of all secrets, love notes, found family

Sabrina
He’s drilling. I repeat—my hot, single-dad boss is drilling. I might as well strip out of all my clothes right now. Instead, as I hold the bookshelf against the wall, he drills holes in the brackets. He’s inches from me, and his woodsmoke scent taunts me, curling past my nose and drifting into my mind.
I swallow roughly as his arm vibrates from the drill.
Pretty sure I vibrate too.
His body is so close. I let myself stare freely—the way the muscles in his corded forearms flex, how his biceps move, how his shirt clings to him.
His focus is intense, his eyes narrowed on the bracket on the second shelf, since he already hung one. A few more seconds pass, then he turns off the drill and shifts his gaze to me.
His hazel eyes radiate hopefulness but also pride, as he asks, “What do you think?”
Like he wants me to like it.
But news flash: I love it. And what I really think is that I was today years old when I discovered my new guilty pleasure: hot dad capableness. Yum.
“I think it looks…well hung,” I say before I even consider the words leaving my mouth. The second I do, I slam my palm over my lips. I should not be allowed to speak sometimes. Where does this part of me even come from? Little Miss Perfectionist Sabrina never blurted out her dirty thoughts when she was with F*&k Chad.
Tyler blinks. Once. Twice. But when he clears his throat, he’s no longer caught off guard—he’s in control. “It is, Sabrina. It is,” he says, his voice low and amused as he pats the shelf. “Sturdy. Want to give it a tug?”
My heart beats too fast. He’s playing with me, and I love it. “Yes,” I croak out.
I reach for the shelf, grab it, and yank. Yep. This shelf does not lose its strength at all. When I let go, I scramble for something appropriate to say but completely fail. Instead, I blurt, “Chad was never handy. I like handy.”
“Well, that works out for both of us, doesn’t it?” Tyler’s charm flashes, teasing, a little flirty—but never quite crossing the line.
“It does.”
