BLAZE SERIES BOOK 4
Alek
I play in the NHL and I'm good, but there's an asterisk by my name - my parents left Canada ten years ago with money they'd stolen in a Ponzi scheme. Being traded from LA to Toronto is the last thing I wanted, since I know that history is going to be revived again. My first night in the city, before the trade is announced, I have an anonymous hookup with an interesting woman - except she's not who I thought she was.
Jess
Our lives blew up when my parents lost all their money in a Ponzi scheme. My twin brother bore the brunt of it, giving up his college dreams to play in the NHL to play, and things did not go well. When the son of the people that stole from us is traded to my twin's team, I know things are going to be bad. But it's a shock when I meet him and find out it's not the first time.

BLAZE SERIES BOOK 1
A BLAZE Christmas Treat!
PLAYING TO WIN
Out Now!
The story starts immediately after the HALFTIME epilogue; Coming January 2024!
Braydon
All my life, I’ve fought to play in the NHL. Now I may have blown my shot with a drunken rant someone recorded. I can’t tell anyone that the reason for my outburst about the female goalie is because she’s my half-sister.
To repair my reputation and prove I‘m not opposed to women’s hockey, I’m pretend dating one of my half-sister’s teammates. Fortunately, Jayna is brilliant, as well as sexy and an incredible hockey player.
When she might lose her hockey career, I support her, and things between us are feeling real, but I have to remember – she’s only dating me for her job. Because she has no interest in being the girlfriend of a player.
Jayna
I’m one of the top women players in hockey, but my family still considers my brother, drafted but never signed a bigger success. They’ve gone to more of his games than mine, even though I won a fricking Olympic medal.
Now I’m injured and working PR for the Toronto Blaze while I rehab. When an idiot they brought up from the farm team gets caught dissing my teammate, I’m asked to fake date him to rehab his reputation. It’s just temporary.
Until they tell me my knee may never recover. Suddenly my fake date is my biggest support. But I can’t lose my identity. I’m a hockey player, not a WAG.
Where the Blaze Began:
CROSSING THE GOAL LINE
Icebreaker or endgame?
Can two devoted athletes make room in their lives for love?
Mike Reimer knows from experience that hockey and relationships don’t mix. And hot-tempered swim coach Bridget O’Reilly couldn’t be more wrong for the widowed pro goalie, aka the Iceman. As the playoffs approach, Mike’s growing feelings for her could melt the hardest heart. But what if being with Bridget means letting down his team…and, worst of all, himself?
Reader Comments:

I didn’t expect a connection with his broody teammate, but this year, maybe I was getting something more for Christmas.

Cooper
I hate lawyers. My family is made up of lawyers, so I know what they’re like. I play hockey, and even though I’ve got more money and success than they have, I’m still the black sheep.
I need an impressive date for my sister’s wedding. The tax lawyer with the ugly dress, being sneered at by an asshole who’s a clone of my brother, would be perfect. In return, I can show her how to navigate the country club dress code the asshole is taunting her about.
Other than my family, she’s the only one who sees past my surface layers. But unlike them, she connects with me like no one else ever has. But when feelings develop, she runs. I’m fast on the ice, but I might not be able to catch her.
Callie
My mother was a flake. Exhibit A - she called me Calliope. I grew up bouncing between her custody and foster care waiting for her to get her act together. Spoiler alert, it never happened.
Never again would I be dependent on anyone else for security. I worked hard, and now I’m a tax attorney, valuable to my firm and on track to become partner. Except. It’s not enough to be a genius at numbers and contracts, I have to navigate things like golfing at the country club, and there aren’t books
to study on that.
A cocky hockey player offers to help me if I’ll be his date to a family wedding. And he insists on supervising what I wear. I can’t trust him, but I need his help. Then I find out what he’s like beneath his charm and start to feel things. Just no. I refuse to take that risk. Because no one ever stays.
HER FAMILY’S DEFENDER
He has home advantage…
But she’s got a strong defensive play.
Hockey star Troy Green never gives up. Not on the ice. Not when he battled cancer last year. And not when it comes to his new neighbor, Michelle Robinson. Troy only wants to help the struggling single mom and her sweet kids, but soon he’s falling for her. Is Troy finally ready to trade in his bachelor life and become a family man?

HALFTIME
Set in Sarina Bowen’s world of THE TRUE NORTH.
There’s no halftime in hockey, but maybe there’s one in love…
Drunk dialing your girlfriend to tell her that you didn’t really cheat is a bad idea--a lesson Seb Hunter learned the hard way. It was no surprise when she cut him completely out of her life. Now he’s finally moved on, and he’s looking forward to sophomore year at Moo U. Until his ex arrives on campus.
For goalie Faith Devereaux, cheating is a hard pass. She grew up knowing all too well how destructive infidelity can be. She’s gotten over Seb and picked the college of her dreams. The fact that he’s a student there will not be a problem. Hockey is her priority. Not guys, not dating, definitely not exes.
But when an exhibition game forces them into close proximity, it isn’t long before their old attraction flares. Regaining trust is hard, though, when the heart plays a good defensive game.
But when the goal is love, one more shot might be all they need.
Reader Comments:
“Great story! Can't wait for the next one!”
“This is a first read for me by this author, I really liked Faith and Seb and really felt like I could relate to them. This is a well written story.”
A sweet, entertaining, empowering, interesting, well-written story with a PERFECT epilogue.
Phin
The Christmas hockey break came at just the right time. I wanted to avoid my family's Christmas plans and rest my shoulder, so I drove out of the city to spend the holidays at the cottage. I didn't expect a snowfall to blow up into a storm, or to land in the ditch. I also didn't expect the tow driver who came to rescue me to be the girl from the cottage next door. The anger she blazed at me? Also unexpected.
When we get snowed in together, I have my chance to find out why.
Skye
Phin Collins' face was on a dartboard in our family garage. Finding out he is the reason I was dragged out in a snowstorm two days before Christmas was infuriating. Especially when he asked me to drop him at the 'cottage' his family had built after forcing us to sell ours. But the kicker was when the power lines came down, and I was forced to shelter in their McMansion cottage during the storm.
I was worried about controlling my temper. I didn't realize our chemistry would be the problem.
