Reclaim (Stingrays, book 5) – May 12
He can block every shot on the ice…except the one straight to his heart.
Victor Reed has crushed opponents on the ice for over a decade—but nothing knocks the grumpy, foul-mouthed defenseman off his game like being forced to share his off-season home with his four-year-old whirlwind niece, Pip…and her maddeningly cheerful nanny.
Belle is all sunshine and sparkles, the kind of woman who hums while she folds laundry and believes every problem can be solved with kindness. Victor’s convinced she was sent to torment him—until she downloads a dating app and starts lining up dates with men who are absolutely wrong for her.
He’s not jealous. Definitely not.
He’s just…protective. And if he “accidentally” scares off a few of her suitors? Well, someone has to keep her safe.
But when Belle’s big heart starts drifting out of his orbit, Victor is forced to face the truth: the Baltimore Stingrays’ resident beast has fallen for his beauty. And if he doesn’t change his game fast, he might lose the only woman who’s ever made his house—and his life—feel like home.
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…
Return (Stingrays Hockey, book 6) – September 15
His comeback was supposed to be behind the bench—until she put his heart back in play.
Dean Fields thought he’d already played his final hockey period.
Forced to retire at twenty-nine after a brutal, career-ending injury, Dean traded skates for a clipboard, grinding his way through assistant coaching jobs across the league. He built a life in the shadows of the game he loved—controlled, disciplined, safe. Because if hockey had taught him anything, it was how quickly everything you want can be taken from you.
Coming back to Baltimore as head coach of the Stingrays was supposed to be just another step forward. It wasn’t supposed to bring her back into his life.
Vivian Hale had once been off-limits in every possible way—his teammate’s little sister, too young, too bright, and already falling for someone else. Dean had noticed her anyway. Always. But timing had been cruel, and by the time he understood what he felt, she was gone—married, building a life that had no place for him.
Now she’s back too.
Five years a widow, raising her spirited daughter Pip on her own, Vivian has spent long enough grieving the life she lost—and convincing herself it was enough. Love was something she had. Something she buried. Something she wasn’t sure she’d ever risk again.
But Dean isn’t the same man she once knew. And she isn’t the girl who watched him from afar.
What starts as familiarity—shared history, old almosts, quiet understanding—quickly turns into something deeper, something impossible to ignore. This time, there are no rules about teammates or timing. Only fear, second chances… and a little girl who might just change everything.
Dean never believed he’d get a shot at the life he once ruled out.
Vivian never thought she’d want one again.
But sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t moving on—
It’s allowing yourself to return.
