Rookie Season is LIVE!
'Tis the season… for deliciously bad decisions.
Last Christmas, I made a rookie mistake.
I had a one-night stand with the Denver Kodiaks’ new golden boy.
It was hot, reckless, and a play I’ll never make again.
At least, that’s what I tell myself.
Because forgetting isn’t so easy when I work at the team’s bar.
When I see him twice a week, grinning, flirting, acting like he doesn’t remember.
Now, everyone’s favorite rookie is hosting a team holiday getaway, and guess who’s stuck on the invite list?
Me. Their favorite bartender.
Cue:
-One secluded cabin
-One massive blizzard
-One too-gorgeous rookie determined to test my limits
I can handle it. I can keep my distance. I can survive a few festive nights in close quarters without slipping up…
Right?
ROOKIE SEASON is a steamy, snowed-in holiday romance set in the Denver Kodiaks world. Devour a new couple's story, plus catch up with all your fave characters! This novella is packed with snowy shenanigans, forced proximity, and enough heat to melt every mountain in Colorado.

Rookies Season Excerpt
Coming November 4th!
“Good tongue. Good hands. Anything else you’re good at?” I ask lightly as I take the cherry, biting off the fruit and dropping the stem on the bar.
I don’t even mean it like that. Or hell, maybe I do.
Because when Ryan’s eyes glint, it lights something up in me.
“You want to find out?” His voice is playful and a little rough, as if the idea of me finding out exactly how good he is turns him on.
Heat floods me.
How long has it been since I’ve hooked up with someone?
This year has been crazy with the team’s success. I’ve worked a wild number of hours. The idea of one wild night with the hottest rookie in basketball is a tempting fantasy.
Except it could get complicated.
It won’t, I insist. It’s only physical.
Ryan sways toward me, or maybe it only feels that way.
We both look down. My hand’s fisted in the front of his sweater, and I have no damn clue how that happened. Somehow my knees have slipped farther apart, my skirt halfway up my thighs now.
My next inhale is shallow, the air rough in my throat.
The music changes to a sultry track.
I’ve flirted with the idea of hooking up with players. Even done it a couple of times. But one time, I let myself get in too deep, and it burned me.
Now, I have a rule: no hooking up with someone as central to my business as a member of the Kodiaks’ starting five.
This bar is the team, and while sex is only sex, it’s a bad fucking idea to imagine it with him.
“It’s a bad idea,” I murmur.
“Probably,” he agrees.
I inch closer to the edge of the bar. Ryan’s hand finds my knee, and the lightest pressure of his thumb just inside has my body lighting up.
“But it is Christmas,” I add under my breath.
“Mistletoe and all.” His nose bumps mine as he nods.
Heat crackles between us. I want him so badly I can taste him.
It’s only one night. That vow has me teetering on the edge.
“All right, Rookie. Show me what you’ve got.”
“Good tongue. Good hands. Anything else you’re good at?” I ask lightly as I take the cherry, biting off the fruit and dropping the stem on the bar.

Blurb:
I sold my soul to a man I hate. Now, he owns me.
I had a plan: sign a contract and board a plane to Ibiza. The anonymous deal would salvage the smoldering wreckage of my life.
It would not involve billionaire Harrison King, the reason I need saving in the first place.
He’s as beautiful as he is cruel. A British business titan who makes a living getting what he wants.
The man flies private. Dates supermodels. But the crisp accent and cocky smirk don’t fool me. He’s a gentleman on the outside, a savage beneath. Dangerous, rough and brutal.
Because after my attempt to publicly stand up for those who needed it...
He destroyed my reputation.
Now, he’s come for the rest of me.
Except it’s not salvation he’s promising. It’s nights in Ibiza, under his roof, rules, his control.
I can’t back out. No matter what he has in store for me.
Harrison King knows my secrets...
But kings keep secrets too.

Hard to Fake is Live in Audio!
Narrated by: Simone Lewis & Tim Paige
It’s not every day you ask your older brother's teammate to be your fake boyfriend. But desperate times call for gorgeous, impulsive measures.
Miles Garrett is a pro basketball player with a heartstopping smile and infamous cocky charm.
But to me, he's always been more than a celebrity. Miles is the guy who puts friends and family first…and my college crush.
When my sorority sister decides to bring my ex to our reunion, I need a plus-one who can have my back and save my pride. Asking Miles is the perfect solution.
Until he raises the stakes for both of us.
He says he’s only playing to win. He'll be the best fake boyfriend I've ever had.
But his gaze hunts mine across a crowded room. He protects me with a fierceness that steals my breath. Our just-for-show kisses ignite a wildfire inside me.
I’m fighting feelings that have been simmering for years. Soon our pretend relationship starts feeling dangerously legit…
Because it’s hard to fake what’s always been real.
