She remains still for a second or two before shaking her head. โNo.โ
My muscles loosen with relief. โJust know that thereโs nowhere you can run that I wonโt give chase.โ
A fine tremble slides through her as she whispers, โWolf.โ
โYeah, angel?โ
โI just wanted a little bit of time to sort everything out in my head. Is that really so much to ask?โ
Maybe not. But my answer isnโt going to change.
โIโve given you as much as I can. I wonโt allow any more distance between us.โ I press another kiss against her lips before drawing away. โI need to get to practice. Iโll be back later to take you home.โ
She nods, giving me exactly what I want.
What I need.
โAll right. Iโll see you then.โ
That settled, I press one last kiss against her mouth before swinging around and walking out of the bar.
BLURB:
Wolf Westerville.
There was a time when my world revolved around him, and Iโd foolishly thought heโd be the one to claim all my firsts. Those dreams shattered into a million jagged pieces when the unthinkable happened.
Five years later and we both attend the same college. Heโs a superstar goaltender for the Western Wildcats with a ticket to the NHL. Iโm just trying to make it through the last year and a half of college all the while doing my best to avoid him.
Wolf has decided that itโs time for us to get reacquainted. As far as Iโm concerned, he can shove that idea where the sun doesnโt shine.
Better yet, he can bend over, and Iโll happily do it for him.
He might not realize it, but my life is splintering apart at the seams. My parents have lost everything and canโt pay my tuition for the second semester, which means I need to figure something out.
Fast.
Or Iโll be forced to drop out and move back home.
Unwilling to allow that to happen, I decide to sell the only thing I have of value.

Vaughn Madden is hockey’s hotshot who moves to a small town, only to learn that Isla Chase has kept a nine-month secret from him.
It was one night trapped with a hockey god due to a hurricane. We shared one bed too. I also ignored the little fact that Vaughn has always been my brother’s rival on the ice. And when the storm cleared, so did Vaughn. Months later, he shows up in my hospital room in Lake Spark where it only takes one look at me and the man is counting back in his head, or maybe itโs my face that explains it all.
He’s going to be a dad. And I didnโt tell him.
His eyes inform me that he wonโt let me off easy. He wants answers to why I kept this a secretโand he quite possibly needs a scotch for his nerves too. Vaughn is soon adamant that he isnโt going anywhere, especially as he is the new General Manager of our hockey team that trains in town. He also has a list of demands that I owe him due to my secret keeping. Hence, why I move into his house. Iโm not sure if developing feelings for a man with a wicked smirk is good for me or our child, but heโs becoming more than my baby daddy. And it turns out that Vaughnโs head has been working overtime, because the family image that Iโve dreamed about is the game that Vaughn seems to have been waiting to play…

Waiting to Play can be read as a complete standalone and is the third book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is part of the Lake Spark world. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.
I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates. By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldnโt get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.
Life was greatโuntil it wasnโt. Because when I was seventeen, my best friend died in my arms. And nothing made sense after that. Drinking turned to smoking. And smoking turned to pills. But no matter how high I got, I couldnโt erase that night. Or the guilt I felt.
Because that night had been my fault. And my friend was dead โฆ because of me.
As my best friendโs baby sister, an actual angel sent from above, Haley Thompson is forbidden fruit, and I should stay away from her. Because everything I touch turns to crap. But like all things Iโm not supposed to do, chasing her is another temptation Iโm not strong enough to avoid. But when I spiral down, hitting my lowest point, I know I canโt take her with me. Because innocent, sweet souls like her, they donโt belong at the bottom.
The trouble is, she refuses to let go of me. Even if it will ruin her.
Anyone who thinks star-crossed love is romantic has never actually experienced it.

Love wasnโt part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and heโs more determined than ever to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.
Getting locked in the menโs restroom during my motherโs funeral wasnโt exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.
I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but Iโd prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isnโt a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like Iโm the only person in the room.
As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, itโs been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.
Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasnโt one of them.
According to him, that is ancient history.
Also, according to him, itโs never too late for a second chance. Heโs out to prove heโs solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. Heโs a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.

Heading to a teachersโ conference hundreds of miles away from my small town should have been a nice break. Until I was propositioned by a stranger to be his wife for the next six months. And for whatever reason, I said yes.
Talon Beckett was a domineering billionaire with a steely-blue gaze that made me forget my own name. It was my excuse for agreeing to his termsโฆthat and he agreed to play up our recent vows when we attended my exโs wedding.
We both decided that weโd go our separate ways when our six months were up. Heโd get full control of his bank account and the hotel chain that bared his motherโs maiden name, and Iโd get whatever I needed in return.
When our time was coming to an end, I realized the one thing I wanted was something he had no desire to give. It was the affectionate side heโd kept hidden from everyone despite his need to say, โMy Wifeโ when we were out in public. And as I crossed the days off the calendar, it was harder to remember that our marriage wasnโt real. Especially when we needed to sign those termination papers.
I feared Iโd lose not only my new last name and job, but my heart along the way.

Iโve always been a wild card โ the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it โ but appearances can be deceiving.
Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
But the first night Iโm back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I donโt need a tutor to do that kind of math.
Audrey insists she doesnโt want me involved in Grahamโs life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.
But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and Iโm left questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game Iโve given my entire life to.
There was a time when my world revolved around him, and Iโd foolishly thought heโd be the one to claim all my firsts. Those dreams shattered into a million jagged pieces when the unthinkable happened.

Review: Sage needs to distance herself from her past so the opportunity to stay at a mountain cabin will give her the time she needs to come up with a plan. What she didnโt know is that the cabin had been sold to Jack.
Jack has found a supportive group of friends within the other inhabitants on the mountain, and he has now purchased his own cabin. When he finds Sage in his cabin his first instinct is to send her on her way but when that isnโt possible rather than wanting her to leave, he wants to convince her to stay.
Jack is determined to keep Sage safe even if it is from himself, but she knows what she wants and it is him. The narrators were a great choice for the characters as they brought out the protectiveness of Jack and the strength of Sage. ๐ง Pink Flamingo Productions

Moving with my three best friends and our seven kids into a dilapidated brownstone in Boston may have seemed like the most insane thing Iโd do this year. Apparently the universe said hold my beer.
Because last night I got drunk and married my boss.
Donโt worry, itโs all fake. Or at least everything after ‘I Do’ will be.
Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. Iโm an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason weโre getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea.
Considering I just got divorced, Iโm not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally canโt refuse, so I donโt.
Heโll help fix up our broken house and all I have to do is take a few pictures and pretend weโre happily married.
Easy peasy.
Now if someone could just remind him that itโs all fake.
Authors Note: Mother Faker is book one of the Momcoms Series and features an accidental marriage between a billionaire grump and a plus size single mom who happens to work for him where there is only one bed, tons of laughs, a lot of ducks, and it’s always been you vibes.
