"I won my brother's rival in a Date the Player auction… and had the best night of my life.
Davis Guidry is Orleans University's starting rookie pitcher. He's handsome, charming, and an all-around flirt. After spending a hot, spontaneous night together, we can't seem to keep our hands off each other.
Our no-strings fun comes crashing down when my overbearing brother, who happens to be Davis's biggest rival, catches us in action. Even that seems to only make the fire burn hotter when we're together.
And suddenly, our secret fling starts to feel like something more than either of us bid on.
Are these casual hookups between us just a fun way to pass my freshman year… Or have we made the ultimate rookie mistake and caught feelings?
Rookie Mistake is a high-spice, low-plot novella in the Orleans University world. It is a complete standalone and lots of fun! Tropes include: college baseball, Playboy Rookie meets Wild Child, 'Good Boy,' rival's sister, and secret hookups."
"I fell for my secret pen pal, believing we would never meet, but now... he's my husband.
Grant Bergeron is Orleans University's playboy first baseman. He's charming, kind… and a tad arrogant. But underneath his party-guy demeanor, he's more than anyone sees.
I needed a husband, and he strode in like prince charming, taking me up on the marriage pact from our past. One that I never imagined actually happening.
Our I-dos were meant to be temporary, a walk-off wedding that benefited us both. But when he takes our vows more seriously than I expect, old feelings begin to resurface.
Now we're sharing a too-small apartment, and he's everywhere. In my room, in my bed, and… in my heart.
Our marriage is supposed to be fake, but I think I'm falling for my husband.
Walkoff Wedding is book three in the Orleans University series and can be enjoyed as a standalone. It's a marriage of convenience, college baseball, secret identities romance with only one bed and 'teach me' tropes."
"My family is famous for two things in our small town:
Our annual Christmas party
And…
Our feud with The Pearce family.
Our families hate each other. It's a tale as old as St. Nick himself.
So, imagine what happens when a harmless little argument with Jackson Pearce ends with us both behind bars for the night.
As if that wasn't bad enough… The punishment for our crime?
The only Christmas party we're allowed to have is one together.
At Town Hall.
But… It gets worse.
That means I'll be forced to spend time with Jackson and his enormous ego while we plan this party and somehow keep our families from strangling each other with tinsel this holiday season.
It doesn't help that he is annoyingly attractive and goes out of his way to push my buttons.
With his old, dirty, work boots, and his stupid veiny forearms, he works his way into my perfectly organized life and leaves everything in disarray.
Will we actually be able to survive this… Festive Feud, or will we end up back where we started?
A Festive Feud is a novella packed full of spice and all the Christmas feelings to put you in the spirit this year. It is a standalone in the Strawberry Hollow universe."
"Everyone says, 'There's no place like home.' Well, not for me.
When I'm forced to spend the holidays at home with my family in Strawberry Hollow, I have no idea how I'm even going to survive the week, let alone make it through my least favorite holiday… Christmas.
That is until I run into my childhood crush and my brother's best friend, Parker Grant. Now, he's the sexy, off-limits doctor in our small town and nothing like the man I left behind six years ago.
While I hate the holidays, there is nothing he loves more. Well, other than a good bet. Which is exactly what happens when we end up together under the mistletoe. A bet that changes everything.
He asks for the next seven days to change my mind about Christmas. But seven days alone with Parker is more than either of us bargained for. Now, there's much more at stake than a silly mistletoe bet.
The Mistletoe Bet is a complete standalone novella in the Strawberry Hollow universe with lots of banter, even more laughter, and a heartwarming HEA."
"I accidentally hooked up with the guy I despise. A mistake I'd love to forget… except now he's my new roommate.
Reese Landry is Orleans University's arrogant, all-star catcher. I'm the one girl he can't seem to catch. If anything, it only makes him want me more.
He's disgustingly rich, stupidly charming, and everyone loves him. Except me.
Then life throws me the ultimate curveball: He's my new temporary roomie. I thought it was going to be easy, keeping him at a distance. Turns out, I was wrong.
He's nothing like the cocky, rich playboy that I thought he was. I told myself one more time wouldn't hurt. We promised to keep things casual, no strings attached. But soon lines blur, and he somehow becomes my only safe space to land.
And now, we're catching feelings.
Catching Feelings is book two in the Orleans University series and can be enjoyed as a complete standalone."
"I had the best sex of my life with a man whose name I didn't even know.
No names, no strings, and . . . no panties. Long story. Don't ask.
So imagine my surprise when I walk into my dad's office a week later and see none other than the man who has my panties, but not my name. Turns out, he's the Avalanche's hotshot goalie, thirteen years older and my father is his coach.
As if all of that wasn't bad enough . . . we still can't seem to keep our hands off each other. The man is famous for . . . using his hands.
Soon we're stealing moments together in secret, putting us both on the line. Hudson 'Romeo' Rome is everything I can't have. Not when my relationship with my father and his career in the NHL are at stake.
Yet, between secret moments and stolen kisses, I find myself falling for Chicago's playboy playmaker.
Contains mature themes."
"The one and only rule: Nothing affects our roommate agreement.
Being a single mom, my life revolves around rules. But . . . some rules are meant to be broken.
And my new roommate is the temptation I can't afford.
Asher Hart, the handsome, tattooed hockey player who's doing everything he can to pierce the walls around my heart. I should have known that he would be trouble . . . but maybe a little trouble is exactly what I need.
He tells me I'm his good girl. That he's proud of me. And shows me a side of myself I never knew existed until he walked into my life. No matter how addicted I am to the way he makes me feel, I know it's only temporary.
And now I just have to find a way to protect my heart from being the penalty.
Contains mature themes."
"The proposal was simple: Score a home run and take my virginity.
Except my proposal went to the wrong brother.
It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother.
Lane Collins is Orleans University's All-Star baseball captain. Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The life of every party.
And the same guy I've crushed on in secret since we were kids.
He's always been out of my league. That is until he signs the dotted line on a proposal that wasn't meant for him and offers to teach me… everything.
The one and only condition? We walk away once everything's checked off.
Easier said than done when my heart is involved.
Now, it's a whole new ballgame."
"Falling in love with my brother's teammate, the very last guy on my scorecard, was the one thing I never expected to happen.
Well, falling in love . . . period.
But it happened. I fell for the NHL's rookie playboy, and together we brought our beautiful baby girls into the world.
And while our story started as a fake engagement, it turned into the most real thing I'd ever experienced.
Until everything changed in the blink of an eye, and now I have to choose between my head and my heart.
The Final Score is the emotional, heartfelt conclusion to Graham and Emery's story.
Contains mature themes."
"When I stumbled across my dream job in the classified section of my newspaper, I knew it had to be too good to be true. Turns out it was.
Becoming the nanny for the grumpiest hockey coach in the NHL was more like a nightmare. Liam Cartright was infuriating, stubborn, and impossible. Oh, and he happened to be my new boss.
I should have signed my resignation with a giant kiss my ass the moment he opened his mouth, but I couldn't. I fell for his little girls before I realized it was happening, and my resolve began to weaken.
Our roles were clearly drawn out. He was the boss, and I was the nanny. But then we crossed a line.
I wouldn't lose my job over a chiseled jawline and a few stolen kisses. I couldn't. Not when so much was at stake.
But Liam was the one who made the rule book, and I had no choice but to play by his rules.
Contains mature themes."
"Pretending to be married to my brother's best friend and my biggest enemy is the last thing I imagined I'd be doing.
But there was a thin line between lust and hate, and when I fell into bed with the NHL's rookie playboy, I found out just how easy that line got blurred.
We were enemies with benefits, but then two pink lines changed it all.
Now he was bringing me back home to his family's farm and faking it became real . . . in more ways than one.
He was meant to be the enemy but falling for him meant letting him win.
The Scorecard: Graham: 1; Me: 0
Contains mature themes."
"Spoiler alert . . .
Briggs Wilson, the NHL's most notorious bad boy, isn't actually who everyone thinks he is. He's kind, compassionate, loyal. And plot twist?
The best baby daddy ever. Yep, you read that right. One weekend. One mind blowing weekend that ended with me having a baby with someone I barely knew.
We had a plan. Co-parent, raise our daughter, and put her first. Always. Too bad I never considered actually falling for my charming baby daddy. Even better? He wanted our family, more than anything.
The problem? I have a secret. One that could destroy everything.
Sincerely, The Puck Bunny
Contains mature themes."
