This past week has been a whirlwind packing for my trip to Albuquerque. I always kinda forget how much work it is to pack for a trip where I’ll be gone for a MONTH. Thankfully, since I’m staying with friends that whole time, I can do laundry. But when I’ll be hiking, going to a goth ball, sightseeing, and working, I have to prepare for everything!   Wish me luck.   I use an airline miles credit card for pretty much everything, then pay it off every month, so I accumulate mil

It’s been quite a week! I went to not one, but TWO hockey games on Saturday. I took my parents to a noon game in Detroit to cheer on the Pittsburgh Penguins when they beat Detroit, then met up with a friend who had free tickets to a 7pm University of Michigan game where they beat the USNTDP (national development program) team. If you want to see my adventures, check out my pics on Instagram . I am also preparing for my annual trip to Albuquerque to visit my bestie and her fam

I got so excited about the idea of Date in a Pinch coming to audio that I forgot that many of you started with my hockey books and aren’t familiar with what came before them! I created a fictional small town on the shores of Lake Michigan called Pendleton Bay. The town may look quaint and charming, but there's a naughty side underneath.   It's a place where ordinary guys find their kinky happily ever afters .   Neil, a sweet and inexperienced submissive, gets an unexpected n

I am so excited to share Thad & Graham’s story with you. I have been wanting to tell it since I started planning the series and Gavin’s brother mysteriously appeared. Getting in Thad’s head was such an interesting experience and I hope you love how swoony he and Graham are together. Thad’s adult life was rough until he landed in Boston. Finding a safe place in the Harriers, reuniting with his brother, and being loved by Graham is exactly what he needed to heal.   The beauty o

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, if you celebrated.   Mine was just my parents and I, but we did the full Thanksgiving spread. We also did our annual family doughnut party on Sunday with the extended family.    I got to see two of my cousins and their families and my parents are continuing the traditions my mom’s parents started, which is really fun. It was great to catch up and the kids (many of whom are in college/graduating now!) have fun helping my dad fry the doughnut

Here’s a little teaser from Delayed Penalty .    Graham tried googling and eventually fell down a rabbit hole of dating advice on Reddit. He’d found it helpful in the past. Why not try it for this?  He found one subreddit that seemed kinda promising and spent some time reading it.  None of the advice really applied to him, but it seemed sensible at least and he began typing up his own question.  So, like, I’m into this guy and we kissed once but we’ve never done anything else

When their eyes locked a frisson of hot-cold-hot ran across Graham's skin like a physical touch. Fuck. This was going to be a problem.

It’s been a bit of a wild week for me. Lots of things going sideways on me as I try to prepare for the holiday craziness ahead. I’m trying to take lots of deep breaths and just deal with everything as it comes but YIKES. I also have jury duty December 1-19 (which includes my birthday on the 18 th 😿). While I would normally be more than willing to participate, this is the WORST possible timing. I’m crossing my fingers I don’t get picked and if you can send a few good vibes,

Things are humming along around here. I took a couple of days off writing to focus on some admin work that’s been lingering on my To Do list. It feels so good to get that all checked off. I also finished my heirloom pumpkin puzzle and started a woodland wildlife one. I really enjoyed watching the Global Series in Stockholm Sweden last weekend. The Pittsburgh Penguins played the Nashville Predators twice there and it was really fun to see the behind the scenes social media con

Dear Diary,  Graham Pennington is something else.   Don’t get me wrong, he’s hot. In the rich, frat boy kinda way that would have gotten him either laughed out of prison or made him very popular with certain guys.   I knew who he was of course. Top line winger. Golden boy.   The kind of franchise building player who Gavin’s always salivating over.   Squeaky-clean too. The dude’s probably never smoked weed or gotten so much as a speeding ticket.   He’s a decent guy though, I’

Graham couldn't seem to move, to breathe, to push Thad away. All he could do was stare at his face as the laughter faded from it and turned into something sharper. Hungrier ...

Hope you’re having a good week. Mine has been a little chaotic (really feeling that Mercury in Retrograde energy right now …) but I’ve gotten a lot done.   I bought and assembled a comfy new desk chair because my previous one was getting so old. The cushion was losing its supportiveness and the latch that lets me lean back in it/lock it upright went on the fritz.  I figured it was time to get something more comfortable.    My humidifier and my garment steamer both died too. L

Happy Halloween!  I can’t believe October is almost over.   This week my focus has been almost entirely on wrapping up Delayed Penalty  and watching hockey.  There was a really wild Penguins vs. Flyers game the other night where I learned two new rules that I didn’t even know existed! That’s always fun.   Somehow, my Penguins are 2 nd  in the entire league, despite the fact that we have several ancient players (in hockey years) along with some baby prospects, and no one thoug

I am finally settling back into my routine, and it has been such a relief.   My knee is allllmost there and things like doing my morning interval walks on the treadmill and squatting/stretching are almost back to normal. I’m still taking it a little easy but it feels so good to not be limited in what I can do.   It’s been cool and rainy here too, which means I am very  happy. Hooray for real autumn weather! I’m back to wearing cozy sweaters, burning my apple-scented candles,

I am SO excited to share the Delayed Penalty  cover and blurb with you today.  Since I’d put Gavin on the cover of Body Check, I knew I wanted Thad on the front of Delayed Penalty .   Christopher’s photo was perfect, and I am totally loving  the backwards hat, smirky vibes of the model …  Series: Scoring Chances  Title: Delayed Penalty  Book #: 4  Couple: Thad Racine & Graham Pennington  Team: The Boston Harriers  Release Date: December 12, 2025  Cover Model Photographer:  Ch
