Summary:

I’ve been captured by the Ice Lords, and I fear they’ll never let me go.

What was supposed to be a fun night out at a hockey game is derailed when I accidentally find myself in the rival team’s locker room.

Not only do I get an eye full of chiseled bodies, but I also overhear a secret that could destroy the reputation, and future, of every player on the team.

Before I can decide whether I should run or hide, the choice is quickly made for me when a pair of piercing green eyes meet mine.

Callan Cromwell—the brooding center of the Lords hockey team. Not only did I steal his virginity in high school, I shattered his heart when I insisted we never tell a soul.
To make matters worse, he’s my best friend’s brother.

As soon as the leader of Callan’s pack discovers I’m onto their sinister plan, he makes a vow to ensure my silence. At my expense.

Now I’m caught in a web of secrets and my only chance of surviving is to do exactly what they say. What he says.

As I’m swept deeper into their savage world of power plays and fierce loyalty, I begin to realize that in this dangerous game—at the mercy of these men—I just might be the biggest casualty of them all.

Summary:

I have two goals this season:
1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.
2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.

When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.

So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.

She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.

It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.


EMPTY NET is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a cinnamon roll goalie (who is a very good boy)who is fake engaged to a headstrong heroine, found family vibes, slightly unhinged group chats with teammates, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Summary:

Callahan Hastings is relentless when it comes to getting what he wants, and what he wants is me–to be his private chef in the Hamptons for the summer.

My dream job served to me on a silver platter by one of the wealthiest members of Pembroke Hills Country Club.

The only catch? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s older brother with a reputation for being as charming as he is cunning.

But Cal doesn’t take no for an answer. He draws you in with flirty smiles and extravagant promises.

I should have seen him coming, but I didn’t. I should have stayed away, but I couldn’t.

His playful touches and burning gaze have ignited a fire in me. The more I resist him, the more irresistible he becomes.

I've always known there's an expiration date on the job–an expiration date on us.

But leaving isn't going to be easy with Cal on his knees, begging me to stay...
