Will

Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.

I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.

By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.

Then I fumble it all by falling for her best friend.

Amanda is strong, stubborn, and raising her daughter alone after her husband’s betrayal.

One kiss becomes something neither of us can ignore.

She wants to keep it secret. I don’t.

Because this time, I’m willing to risk the play. I won’t lose my second chance at love.

Amanda

I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just never planned on doing it alone.

But when my ex got his assistant pregnant, I stopped, waiting for the life I thought I’d have—and choose motherhood for myself.

Now I’m a single mom doing my best to build a quiet, steady life with no drama and no risks.

Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.

Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.

Watching him fight for his daughter only makes falling for him more dangerous.

We tell ourselves it’s just once.

But one reckless kiss turns into a night we can’t take back—and a secret we definitely can’t afford to keep.

Because if we’re discovered, I could lose my best friend…

And he could lose his daughter all over again.

Falling for me was never part of his playbook.

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE

April

My whole life changed in a night. Broke up with my douchebag boyfriend, decided to take a new job in another state, bonus on that I would be working with my sister who I missed like crazy. All big life changes.

Biggest life change that I was not anticipating, was Sandavi, 'Davi' Badagova.

To prove to my ex that I could do so much better than him, I walked up to Davi and kissed him in a bar. Which lead to a night I will never forget, and a friendship I was never expecting, and the man who was going to change everything, if I let him. That was my biggest challenge.

Davi

As the starting goalie for the Colorado Dragons, I was absolutely the last line of defense for my team. I love it. Thrived on studying the movements of my opponents, learning to anticipate shots before they were even fired. Never in my life did I think that would translate into my personal life. Watching April strut up to me at the bar, lean into me and kiss me was something I never expected, and a moment I will never forget. She’s moving to my town, working for my team. I want more. She does too, but she’s scared. No worries, I’ll learn what she needs from me, I’ll fight the battles she’s got going on in her head, and I’ll protect the treasure she is. I am a Dragon after all.

SCORING CHANCE

When romance author, Avery Daniels, agrees to shadow a professional hockey player as research for her upcoming series, she never dreams she’ll get to meet her long-time crush, Logan Keller. Or end up in the emergency room.

But accidents happen, and she’s more than willing to forget about the whole thing. Too bad Logan isn’t. His guilt runs deep, and in order to make it up to her, he offers to give her a deep dive into all things hockey. Including a place to stay for the duration of her trip. His spare bedroom.

It would be foolish to agree, for so many reasons. But it would be a great way to get all the inside knowledge on the life of an actual player. And spend some time with someone who's intrigued her for most of her life.

But Logan is hiding a secret. He knows exactly who Avery is, and she isn’t the only one with a crush. Now he just needs to convince her to give his offer a chance.

POWER PLAY

He’s the team’s enforcer—scarred, gruff, and untouchable. She’s the coach’s daughter—off-limits, infuriating, and impossible to ignore.

On the ice, I’m built for battle, my scars a warning to anyone who dares get too close. Off the ice, I am just as guarded, convinced love is nothing but drama I don’t need. Bianca is the last person I should want—spoiled, privileged, and protected by the one man I can’t cross.

But every clash between us sparks fire. Every argument feels like foreplay. And the more we fight, the harder it becomes to deny the pull between us.

Rules say she’s forbidden. My heart says it’s inevitable.

And when hate blurs into something dangerously close to desire, neither of us can pretend anymore.

FACE-OFF

He's the team's captain—strong, empowering, and chivalrous. She's a decorated veteran—smart, beautiful, and fierce.

I breathe, eat, and sleep hockey. It's my duty, my honor, my privilege to give all I have to my team, for my team. Lead by example. Leave the pain on the ice, wearing blood and sweat on my jersey with pride.

No sacrifice is too big… or so I thought.

Emmeline knows true sacrifice. Face of an angel. Heart of a warrior. Marine turned coffee shoppe owner, brewing a mean cup of joe kissed by the heavens, protective of her family by choice and those in need of saving.

I thought I knew sacrifice. I had no idea. Em makes me look like an amateur.

And I can't get enough. I can't get her out of my head, not that I want to.

But she's full up. She has no need nor desire for a pro athlete who lives in the limelight and dines with celebrities and politicians.

I face off with the toughest players in the NHL, yet I can't break the ice around her heart. I'm a warrior of a different kind, and I'm prepared to go to battle for her.

1-click this angsty, heart-pounding hockey romance and fall hard for Nightly and his Emmeline.

BREAKAWAY

A new team. A clean slate. Storm Cromwell comes to Denver determined to step out of his famous NHL brother’s shadow and prove he belongs on the ice. Hockey is the only thing that matters—until he meets Asher King.

Confident, brilliant, and completely off-limits, Asher is the heiress to Denver’s hockey empire, carrying a legacy heavy enough to crush anyone who dares to touch it. With her grandfather in hospice and a ruthless family war brewing, her future—and the empire itself—hangs by a thread.

Storm should stay focused. Asher should keep her distance. But the pull between them is impossible to ignore. He sees her beyond the name and the power. She sees him as more than a reckless distraction. As loyalty, ambition, and desire collide, they’re forced to choose how much they’re willing to risk.

Letting each other in could cost them everything … but walking away might destroy them both.

Love, legacy, and loyalty collide in this emotional hockey romance. Are you ready to fall for Storm and Asher? 1-click to start reading today.

Book Blitz - Playtime's Over by R.L. Mathewson

Title: Playtime's Over

A Neighbor from Hell Series Standalone

Author: R.L. Mathewson

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Rom Com

Release Date: January 23, 2026

BLURB

Six years is a long time to wait for revenge…

From New York Times Bestselling Author R.L. Mathewson comes the next novel in the Neighbor from Hell series, filled with revenge, questionable choices, and a Bradford determined to make the one woman that he couldn’t live without fall in love with him.

Once upon a time, Kristen Haven was his best friend, his entire world, and the one woman Garrett Bradford couldn’t stop thinking about, but that all changed six years ago when a simple misunderstanding ruined everything, and now…

Now, he was really hoping that she was willing to overlook the fact that he’d made her life a living hell for the past six years.

It was never going to happen.

Not after he’d told her to go to hell, and definitely not after he sent clowns to frolic in her front yard. Now that he knew the truth, Kristen was determined to forget about him and move on with her life, but there was just one problem with that plan…

She needed him.

Which meant that she had no choice but to give in to his demands, remind herself that she needed him whenever the urge to beat the hell out of him with whatever was within reach hit, and pretend that she wasn’t falling in love with the one man that she could never forgive.

A romantic comedy about second chances, revenge, questionable life choices, and one man determined to win back the only woman he’s ever loved…whether she likes it or not.

Series: Don't Date Him #4

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Secret Baby, Second Chance Romance

Grumpy/Sunshine, Small Town

Release Date: April 14, 2026

BLURB

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.

If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way.

I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.

Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.

I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved.

But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.

And I almost died because of it.

After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again.

And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.

I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.

Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t falter.

I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
