Release Dates: April 13 - 24, 2026




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.

THE FIRST RULE OF FAKING IT

What’s worse than being stuck in paradise with your ex and the woman he cheated on you with?

When your hot hockey player best friend–who’s always made your heart beat a little faster–insists on pretending to be your new boyfriend.

Alec means well, but no one–not my ex, not my friends, and certainly not my family–is going to believe he’s suddenly madly in love with me. The only person at risk of believing the act… is me.

But maybe I’ll get through this despite his tempting touches, lingering smiles, and the fact there’s only one bed in our hotel room… as long as I remember the most important rule of all: Don’t fall for your fake boyfriend.

If you loved the emotional heat of books by Becka Mack and Avery Keelan, then buy THE FIRST RULE OF FAKING IT to start reading your next addictive hockey romance today!

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.

I'm recovering from a kidnapping that had nothing to do with me. I also have the most frustrating stepbrother this side of the Pacific Ocean, and a crush on a guy who makes hot and cold feel normal.

My solution—meet someone new. One of the Dusk Bay Demon's coaches. A guy who works with my stepbrother and my crush. They might tear him a new one when they find out.

Or they might help him to save me when I come under fire from an enemy who doesn't like people sticking their nose in their business.

If we can't learn to work together, we'll be one power play away from being totally effed. Not to mention dead.

Release Blitz - Power Play by Rosemary Willhide




Title: Power Play
Author: Rosemary Willhide
Publisher: Luminosity Publishing LLC
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: October 9, 2020


BLURB

Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

When the bad boy of the NHL, Zack Parker, lands himself in a public relations nightmare, his manager hatches a foolproof plan to get him out of trouble. With Zack’s hockey career in limbo, he reluctantly agrees to compete on a reality TV show called The Stars of Ballroom. 
At the end of the day, Zack figures he’ll slog his way through the first week, get voted off and everyone will forget about his latest scandal, plus he’ll score a brand-new contract with the Vegas Royals. 
What he doesn’t bank on is his tough, no-nonsense dance partner, Hannah Thorne from the UK. After missing the show last year due to an injury, Hannah is back and ready to battle it out to the end. She’s won the show twice and if she takes home the top prize again it will make her the only three-time champion of The Stars of Ballroom. 
Hannah is a fighter and has zero patience for Zack and his bad-boy ways. Her future depends on this victory, and she’s willing to risk everything to win. 

Go big or go home!

EXCERPT

Zack 

“You totally fucked up this time,” my manager, Greg, huffed into the phone. “What the hell were you thinking, Zack? Jesus Christ, first you get ejected from the game, then kicked out of Drai’s After Hours Club? Was it not enough to ruin the team’s last chance to get into the playoffs, you had to cause a scandal in the process? It’s all over the news, ‘Hockey’s bad boy, Zack Parker from the Vegas Royals, urinates in a potted plant. Drai’s cries foul.’ This is a PR nightmare.” 
“Are you through?” I heaved, not wanting to listen to any more of his bullshit. “My head is killing me and I’m fucking tired.” 
“Through?” he bellowed. “I’m just getting started. You’re lucky Drai’s only kicked your ass out and didn’t press charges. You need to make some changes or—” 
“Or what?” I spat back and hurled myself out of bed to get water or whiskey, whatever I found first. “I was the Royals’ leading scorer this season. So we didn’t make the playoffs. Big deal. There’s always next year.” 
“Don’t you get it, Zack? There won’t be a next year if you don’t clean up your act.” 
I halted in my tracks. “What the fuck are you talking about?” 
After a pause, Greg sighed. “The owner of the Royals, he’s pissed. This isn’t the first time you’ve been in the press with this kind of crap. They’re seriously considering dropping you from the team. You’re in between contracts. Last night might’ve been the final straw. What’s going on, man? What happened to you? You used to be a fighter, the king of teamwork.” 
“Maybe I just don’t feel like I have anything left to fight for.” 
I gave up everything for hockey. I kept telling myself the injuries, the things I missed out on, would be worth it someday. Then, my parents were killed in a car accident last year. What’s the point of playing by the rules? What’s the point of anything? 
“Listen, Zack,” Greg said in a less angry tone. “I know you haven’t been yourself, but you’re going to have to help me out here. Do you want to call it quits?” 
“Fuck no. What the hell would I do with myself? Although, the thought of a long off-season isn’t the worst thing in the world. I can get out of the states and party abroad where no one knows me. Finally, have some damn fun.” 
“They’ve got paparazzi and camera phones abroad too. One more slip-up and I won’t be able to get you signed anywhere for next season.” 
“That’s not true. Last week you said the Warriors wanted me back.” 
“They rescinded their offer early this morning.” 
“Jesus Christ. Fucking assholes.” I grabbed a bottle of water and flopped on the sofa. “Okay, bro, I’m all ears. What do you suggest?” 
“Rehab. Now, before you curse me out, just listen. There’s a nice place in Malibu you could chill for a while until this blows over. It’ll show everyone you’re making an effort, then we can get you signed for next season.” 
“That’s a hard no. The prick that killed my parents was a drunk. I’m not like him. Hell, last night was practically the only serious partying I’d done all season.” 
“Well, I’ve got one more suggestion and you’re not going to like it.” 
“Then, I can hardly fucking wait, hit me.” 
Greg cleared his throat. “We rehab your image. I got a call from that show, The Stars of Ballroom, Marcus White had to pull out. He tore his Achilles.” 
“I’m going to stop you right there. There’s no fucking way I’m going on some goofy dance show.” 
“It’s not a goofy dance show,” Greg argued. “Marcus was an all-pro football player, a real athlete in his day. He said in some ways it was tougher than spring training.” 
“The answer is no. I can’t believe the producers would even want me. Isn’t it a family show?” 
“Yeah, a squeaky clean family show. And for the record, they didn’t contact me about you. They wanted Holmes, my other client. I had to talk them into you.” 
“You’re wasting your breath, man. The Stars of Ballroom is out. What other bright ideas have you got?” 
“That’s it, Zack. I got nothing else. Think of it this way, the first live show is a week from Friday and it only lasts six weeks. It’ll keep you out of trouble and in shape. I spoke to coach Gerard today. He told me if you do the show, he’ll personally go to the mat to keep you on the team. Think of the press, nothing but positive G-rated shit to get you out of this mess.” 
I rubbed my forehead, pissed that I found myself in this mess. Was there a way to make the best of it? “So, what do they do? Pair me up with a hot dancer? I do love a dancer’s body. What’s my partner look like?” “She’s pretty in a refined way, not the stripper way you’re thinking about. Which brings me to my next point. You can’t fuck your partner. It’ll ruin everything. Your relationship with her has to remain a hundred-percent professional.”






AUTHOR BIO


I’m an actress, turned fitness instructor, turned author of naughty shenanigans. I’ve told stories and entertained people my entire life. Writing is my favorite because I don’t have to leave the house or put on pants. Plus, the voices in my head always do what I say, for the most part. LOL!

I live in Las Vegas with my husband, Bill and my adopted pooches, Harley and Brownie. I still teach cycling classes. It keeps me sane-ish. Welcome to my world.
