He plays to win. She plays to roast him on live TV. Christmas is about to be a full-contact sport. When locker-room reporter Faith Langley asks a star forward one brutally honest question, she doesn't expect to go viral-or to get permanent access to the one man she cannot stand. Gabriel Saint is every headline she swore off: cocky, stupidly hot, and allergic to playing it safe. Forced together for holiday segments, charity events, and a very public bet before the Christmas Classic, Faith and Gabe spend December sniping into microphones, snarking under the mistletoe, and pretending the chemistry crackling between them is just "for the cameras." Then a snowstorm strands them in the arena overnight. Then a hot mic catches Gabe admitting she's the only reporter he cares about. Then one stupid, reckless kiss turns into something neither of them can laugh off. With Faith's dream promotion on the line, Gabriel's season under a microscope, and the entire league watching, keeping their hands off each other might save their careers... but cost them the only thing that's ever felt real. When the lights go up on the Christmas Classic, Gabriel is done hiding how hard he's fallen. One game, one grand gesture, one hat trick of a proposal- And if Faith is brave enough to want both love and the life she's built, this Christmas might just end in sudden-death happily ever after.

Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesign
