HUX HAS ARRIVED!

Hey there! I have some exciting news to share with you. The third book in the Colorado Storm Hockey Series, Push, is now available for pre-order on Amazon. The official release date is September 30, 2024, and I couldn't be more excited for you to dive into this steamy story.

Push follows our favorite grumpy defender, Nikolas "Hux" Huxley, and Adaline Khoury, a delightful botanical shop owner, as they navigate the consequences of a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding. What starts as a way to prove a point quickly turns into an unexpected journey of self-discovery and falling in love.

Here's an excerpt from Push.

HUX HAS ARRIVED!

At the beginning of the year I made a blog post about taking a break and stepping away from writing. 2023 had been a tumultus year and losing my dad to cancer was a lot to go through and take on after his passing. The work on his estate continues, but I've had time to rest and regroup in 2024 and I'm ready to keep going.

I'm currently tucked away at a lovely Colorado inn with a lot of other local romance authors for a retreat. We had a blizzard last night, which is kind of fitting for writing a Colorado Storm Hockey romance novel.

Push is coming along now. It's got some very good tropes. Here's a sample of something I wrote yesterday about our favorite grumpy defenseman Hux from Ada's persepctive.

Hi, it's me—the author who released a book at the end of July and then disappeared. My dad passed away just two weeks later after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer and I am once again settling the estate of someone I loved dearly who lived a beautiful life.

It's funny to me to think of Cara and Reid in Be What Love Is, going through the house, room by room, sometimes item by item, and begging by the end to have someone come in to take it all away. I was just presuming back then, but I wasn't far off.

I've been at this for a few years now. They've been hard years after losing my husband and then supporting my dad through his illness and passing. I've changed fundamentally as a person through it. My imagination has been suppressed. It's a miracle I even got Velocity out after all those years.

This season of my life as an author is over and I'm easing into the next one. I'm not saying forever, after all seasons return, right? But I'm no longer going to try and force it. I'm only going to pick it back up when I want to tell a story.

In 2024, I plan to reset and figure out who I am and what I want in this next season of my life.

Thank you for sticking with me this far. Thank you for your support and kind words throughout these past three difficult years. Thank you to the friends I've made along the way.

Getting stuck with a hot hockey player in a snowstorm is like a dream. Finding out he’s my dad’s star goalie is a total nightmare.

Velocity is live on Kindle, Kindled Unlimited, and Paperback! I honestly didn’t know if I’d ever make it to this day. But here we are. Alex and Alex now belong to the world. Happy reading!

I am thrilled to announce that the highly-anticipated second book in the Colorado Storm hockey series, "Velocity," is now available for pre-order! After the incredible response to the first book, I am so excited to share this new romance with you all.

Set to be published on July 31, 2023, "Velocity" picks up where we left off and delves deeper into the world of the Colorado Storm hockey team. This time, we focus on the journey of Alexandria Bliss, a young woman with a reckless reputation, and Alex "Hawk" Hawkins, the Storm's star goalie. Their story is filled with passion, determination, and the struggle to find love in the face of adversity.

As the daughter of the team's coach, Alexandria's past actions have left her with a reputation that's hard to shake. When a snowstorm traps her with Hawk in a local superstore, the temptation to break all the rules becomes irresistible. But her father would never allow his star player to be distracted by his so-called reckless daughter.

Hawk, on the other hand, is used to success coming easily to him. Yet, when fate brings him together with Alexandria, he faces a challenge like never before. As the two navigate the thin ice of their growing friendship, they must confront the mounting pressure of their mutual attraction before it shatters beneath them.

Fans of the Colorado Storm hockey series can expect another heartwarming romance with "Velocity," filled with raw emotions, undeniable chemistry, and the pursuit of redemption.
