Lucas
She’s a goddess in heels. Absolute perfection. Well, almost.
Samantha Fox is the heiress of Fox Sporting, my new management team. As one of the best wings in the NHL, I have never shied away from a challenge, and she is definitely a challenge. But if her company representing me doesn’t stop me from wanting her, the fact she’s engaged should, right?
But the noticeably absent sparkle from her left ring finger makes me question. I vow to myself that I’ll find out what that’s all about. And if she’s single, I plan to make her mine. Or at least, mine for the night. I just need one taste of the divine.
Samantha
Off-limits. That’s what he is. Lucas Bouchard is the prestigious new client acquired by my family’s company. From what I know, not only is he an amazing hockey player, he’s a humble and generous philanthropist too. Also, he’s a walking aphrodisiac.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve just broken off my engagement to a cheating, using loser. Every time our eyes lock, I find myself captivated. But he’s not for me. No matter how many times I remind myself of this, though, it doesn’t compute. Plain and simple, I want him. And keeping my distance might prove impossible.

Mika
She’s the uber-sexy, single mother living next door. Everyone tells me to keep my distance. But there’s something about her. Specifically, her eyes. They speak to me. Drawing me in like a siren. I want to know her, but she’s more guarded than Buckingham Palace. However, after one afternoon in her presence, I find myself addicted and wanting more. Willing to do whatever I have to just to make it past her defenses.
 
Shiloh
My next-door neighbor is an insanely hot, single professional hockey player. As if that isn’t bad enough, he’s a nice guy too. After spending an afternoon where he showed my son how to skate and took us out to ice cream, I want to let him in. My past cautions me to put on the brakes, but I find myself going full steam ahead, ignoring all the red flags waving at me.

Noah Whittaker hated riding the bench.

 

But after taking a fall he didn’t see coming, he ended up in hospital and out of the game indefinitely.

 

The only problem is the doctors aren’t letting him break free unless he has someone who can help him out.

 

Maddy Higgins is lurking around the halls, watching and waiting, researching her next role. One she hopes will save her flailing career. When she falls through the door and finds Noah begging her to help him, how can she say no?

 

Now Maddy must play the role of her life. Live in nurse and fake girlfriend to Chicago Hawk’s captain, Noah Whittaker. But for an actress, that shouldn’t be hard, right? As long as she doesn’t go and fall in love.

Release Date: May 11, 2023
Alone—
That was my life even before my mother died. Until I found my father and a sister with the life I should have had. I know my heart had a time limit.
Putting my plans on hold, I enrolled in college, and inserted myself into my sister’s life.
What could go wrong?
Evidently a lot. I didn’t count on her wanting to be friends. Or the guy across the street to end up in my bed. Relationships were not on my bucket list and I hate they all make me want more…more fun, more family, more love.
Should I give them the little time I have left or continue on with my plans to travel the world?

Elizabeth Hayes lives in the Midwest with her husband, two kids.

She keeps busy with her gang of pets that include, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and pigs. And is an avid houseplant collector.

Ares de la Peña: sports star, stripper, bisexual playboy.

As our world’s collide, I discover he’s more than just the flashy heir to a billion dollar fortune.
I’ll never fit into his world. But I want to.
Ares:
What is it about this girl?
She hides her scars behind her bright hair, quirky clothing, and striking lipstick, but I see her.
She’s the calm that quiets my demons, while running from her own.
My reputation precedes me, which is usually a good thing, but in this case her preconceived notions about me aren’t working in my favor.
How can I make her see that what we have is far more than skin deep?

Blurb:

The moment Rochelle Reed walked into my gym and interrupted my training, she was unabashed, confident, and downright gorgeous. Her hypnotizing almond-shaped eyes and captivating smile was a sucker punch to my gut, and I wanted her.

 

Somehow, she managed to break down my walls and unlock the wrought-iron gates around my dark soul. She made me forget the scars of my past. Rochelle made me realize she is everything I ever longed for in a woman.

 

Without warning, Rochelle was taken from me. The ransom call and complying to the demands came with a heavy price. It’s then I realize, the woman I am madly in love with, has deep rooted secrets, and our past is what brought us together.

 

But no matter how betrayed I feel, I am putting everything on the line for Rochelle, and will stop at nothing to get her back. Alive.

Bad-boy hockey player Hayden Harrington always lands on his feet. Or skates, in this case.
After a scandalous fling with the coach’s daughter comes to light, this good-looking hotshot forward is swiftly traded to the Atlanta Thunder—an up-and-coming new hockey team.
It’s not all bad, though.
This could be his big chance to play center on the top line.
So yeah, maybe it’s fortuitous that the pesky team marketing intern, Addison Knight, let his secret out.
Still, though she’s hot as sin, he’s happy he’ll never have to see her again.
Or will he?
What Hayden doesn’t know is Addison just landed a job with the Thunder too. And what it involves is spending an exorbitant amount of time with him working on rehabilitating his image.
Ha, like that’ll go well.
Hayden is an enemies-to-friends love story and the first book in the new Breakaway Hockey romance series. (can be a standalone)

Title: Payoff Pitch

Series: Venom Baseball Series Book 1
Author: Kaylee Rose
Release: March 25, 2023
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance/Second Chance Romance
Publisher: Red’s Bookshelf Publishing
Photographer: RPLUSM PHOTOGRAPHY
Cover Model: Marcel Pospiech

Whoever said out of sight, out of mind must be crazy.
 
There wasn’t a day since I left that I didn’t think about her.
 
As much as I wanted to stay with her in Boulder City, it was never an option.
 
Caroline had big dreams of becoming a chef, and I’d just signed my rookie contract.
It was the chance of a lifetime for both of us.
 
After years of no contact, I’d assumed I’d lost her for good, but when I injured my pitching arm, I was given a second chance to right the wrongs from the past.
 
This is my last chance and the biggest payoff pitch of my life.

How quickly we’ve fallen back into old ways surprises me. Maybe I’ll be able to pull off being just friends after all.

“Now, go take a shower while I make lunch.” I clap my hands and rub them together like a mad scientist. “Where do I begin?” Kathy did a fantastic job stocking this refrigerator with all sorts of gourmet foods. I run through a recipe in my head that I think Micha will like and will work with the ingredients on hand.

“Caroline.” Micha’s deep voice close to my ear makes me jump.

“Damn it.” Lost in my thoughts, I hadn’t heard him approach. I clutch my chest. “You scared the crap out of me.”

“Sorry.” His brow furrows like he’s struggling with something.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong…” He pauses like he’s carefully considering his words, then leans closer and whispers, “…I’m glad you’re here.”

And just like that, the friendly back and forth we had a few seconds ago is obliterated. I’m pulled back to when kissing and exploring each other’s bodies were a regular part of our lives.

The air is thick with sexual tension and no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the energy to look away.

His gaze lands on my lips.

I resist the urge to lick them and draw in a staggered breath. My hands find their way to rest on his hips while my legs turn to jelly.

His blue eyes look deep into mine.

Is he going to kiss me? Do I want him to kiss me? Should I kiss him?

The last person I ever expected as my assignment is Dean Kraygen. Middleweight Champion of the World and Sexiest Man Alive.

What was supposed to be a facade, has become all too real, and I have no choice but to resist him, at all costs, or I will be destroyed for good.
