Excerpt:
โWe should dance,โ she coos. โWouldnโt that be fun?โ
โDarlinโ, as long as you donโt mind your toes being stepped on a few times, letโs do it,โ I drawl, standing and taking her hand in mine and tugging her upward.
Iโm aware of Trippโs 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 Iโm just thankful as hell when it switches from some fast-beat pop shit to a slow country song by Riley Green.
Fuck, Iโm jealous of that dudeโs mustache. To be honest, Iโm sort of jealous of everything when it comes to the dude. Sometimes, I open TikTok, and I swear to fuck, heโs half my feed. I canโt even be mad at the dude either because heโs one smooth motherfucker.
She wraps her arms around my neck, flashing me a drunken grin as my arms slide around her waist. โWorst Wayโ plays, and for a country song, that shit is sexy as hell.
โSo, you didnโt tell me, what are you doing here, drinking all by yourself, sweet thing?โ I murmur, tilting my head closer to hers so that our foreheads almost touch.
She tries to shrug it off, but thereโs a pain in her eyes Iโve never seen before. I donโt know what happened to her, but I know sheโs sad.
โSometimes, a girl just wants to drink alone, Pretty Boy,โ she says, her voice as smooth as silk.
โEasier to pick up guys like you when I donโt have any competition.โ
โRight.โ I practically snort. โGuys like me.โ
โWell, yeah,โ she coos. โAttractive, muscly, rich guys like you.โ She winks. โAnd letโs not forget, you said you have a big dick. So, basically, youโre a top-tier hookup choice.โ
โCareful with the words youโre throwing around, darlinโ,โ I mumble. โYouโll get more than youโre bargaining for.โ
We sway on the dance floor, and with every passing second, it feels like our bodies are closer even though they arenโt.
โWhat Iโm bargaining for is a release, Cambridge. Because I could really, really use one after this week.โ She tries to play bashful, but itโs an act. โWhat do you say, Ry-Ry? Can you put this supposedly big dick to good use and help a girl out?โ
Holy fucking shit.
In all the years Iโve known Saylor, Iโve been wildly attracted to her, but Iโve 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 Iโve done. A lot.
โAre you trying to use me as a revenge fuck, Saylor?โ I say, sliding my hands a little lower,
resting them just above her ass. โIs that it?โ
โDoes it matter?โ She cocks her head to the side. โYou either want to fuck me or you donโt. My reasoning behind why Iโm doing this doesnโt really matter, does it?โ She slides one hand from my neck to my chest. โEither way, Iโm craving a manโs touch. And, yeah โฆ fucking one of Rowanโs friendsโor in your case, ex-friendโwell, thatโs just the icing on the cake, baby.โ
BLURB:
Life as a professional hockey player keeps me plenty busy, and yet it often feels like Iโm on autopilot as the world passes me by. I suppose I canโt 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 Iโve never taken the time to actually get to know any of them. In fact, thereโs only one Iโve relentlessly thought about, but sheโs off-limits. Everyone knows you canโt go after your best friendโs little sister. Especially if heโs already forbidden it.
Iโve had a crush on Saylor Sawyer since I met her years ago, and even though Iโve spent many showers and nights alone creating my own fantasies, starring her, I know I canโt
act on those โฆ filthy thoughts.
No matter how hot they are.
When a teammate hurts her badly, Saylorโs 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 wasnโt mine, and Iโm 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 wonโt stop until sheโs mine.

About THE OVERTIME KISS (Coming 6/18/2025):
Just what every bride dreams ofโrunning straight from her cheating fiancรฉ into the arms of a hot hockey starโฆ and then getting hired as his kidsโ nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatiousโฆand frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things Iโd never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately needโand a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I donโt 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 heโs not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.
Exceptโฆthis was never meant to last. Iโm 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 itโs just physical. Because Iโm not only falling for my bossโIโm 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
Heโs drilling. I repeatโmy 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. Heโs 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 freelyโthe 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, โWhat do you think?โ
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.
โI think it looksโฆwell hung,โ 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, heโs no longer caught off guardโheโs in control. โIt is, Sabrina. It is,โ he says, his voice low and amused as he pats the shelf. โSturdy. Want to give it a tug?โ
My heart beats too fast. Heโs playing with me, and I love it. โYes,โ 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, โChad was never handy. I like handy.โ
โWell, that works out for both of us, doesnโt it?โ Tylerโs charm flashes, teasing, a little flirtyโbut never quite crossing the line.
โIt does.โ
