Release (Stingrays, book 4) – January 13
He’s her PR nightmare. She’s his forbidden fantasy. Falling in love was never part of the game.
Tank Phillips is used to scoring—on and off the ice. But after a scandalous night with two puck bunnies makes headlines, the cocky star of the Stingrays is benched in more ways than one. His only shot at salvaging his career? A squeaky-clean image makeover…starting with a fake girlfriend.
Enter McKenna Bailey—nerdy, no-nonsense, and painfully new at her job as the Stingrays’ social media manager. Tasked with taming Tank’s wild reputation, she’d rather be buried in data analytics than babysitting the team’s notorious playboy. He calls her mouse, barely remembers her name, and flashes that infuriating grin like he owns the world. But the more time they spend together faking a romance, the more the chemistry between them feels dangerously real.
McKenna has her own secret—one that could blow everything up: she’s the estranged daughter of Coach Fields. And when the truth comes out, Daddy Dearest gives Tank a hard warning—stay away from my little girl.
But Tank’s never been one to play by the rules…especially when the one thing he wants most is finally within reach.

Before the Storm (Perfect Storm, book 5) – July 21
One lie, one storm, and a night that rewrites all the rules.
Grayson has built his life on order—rows of perfect vines, strict schedules, and a reputation as the grouchy Storm brother. At twenty-seven he’s already a curmudgeon in work boots, a “get off my lawn” kind of man whose scowl does most of the talking. And nothing ruffles him more than Lark—one of his family’s wild, impulsive tasting-room assistants.
So when “Lark” joins him for a weekend wine festival, he braces for chaos. What he doesn’t expect is her sudden sweetness…or the way she blushes, or listens, or curls trustingly into him when a drunk festival-goer won’t take no for an answer. He saves her, shaken by the fierce urge to protect the woman he shouldn’t want.
But it isn’t Lark at all.
It’s Wren—her shy, bookish twin sister. The town’s quiet librarian who’s never broken a rule in her life…until now. Caught in her sister’s lie, sharing one hotel room—one bed—and far too much heat with a man she absolutely cannot want, Wren tries desperately to keep her distance. If Grayson learns the truth, Lark could lose her job. And Wren could lose something even more fragile: the only man who’s ever really looked at her.
Back home, Grayson is determined to forget the confusing attraction he felt for Lark—that is, until a chance encounter in the library reveals the unmistakable pull he can’t explain. Because something about the quiet twin feels achingly familiar…
