Aasher Matthews is everything I detest. Arrogant jock: 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬. Coy smirk: 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬. Too hot for his own good: 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬. To make matters worse, 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘺. Unfortunately for him, my father is his coach. Fortunately for me, I’m deemed untouchable.
The only common ground I have with hockey players is our love of the ice, so staying away from them will be easy-peasy.
Until I overhear their bet—𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩’𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵?
I’m ready to bring the entire Bexley U hockey team to their knees. Instead of fleeing, I flirt. Instead of hiding, I run just so they’ll chase me. Luring my father’s players into a trap has a certain appeal to it.
Except, Aasher isn’t fooled by my feigned temptation. He has too much riding on a perfect season and has plans to join the NHL after winning the Frozen Four.
So he proposes our own bet.
If he wins, I stay away from his teammates and stop messing with their heads.
If I win, he tells my father—𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩—about his teammates’ dirty plans for me.
But the more Aasher crosses the lines we’ve carved into the ice, the more I find myself letting him. The only problem is, someone else is in on our gamble, and they aren’t willing to concede.

Tropes: Stalker/Serial Killer, Secret Society
Second Chance, Star Crossed Lovers
Release Date: November 2, 2023
BLURB
I’ve stared into the face of Death, falling victim to her deceptively sweet lullaby. Until she released me from her icy grip without any warning, sending me stumbling back out the other side to continue on as if nothing happened.
When I come to in the hospital as their mysterious John Doe, I discover that the past year of my life never happened at all.
But I remember all of it. Every drop of blood shed, every life lost, every bullet fired.
I’ve been propelled back into a personal hell where I’m fraternizing with the very men whose souls I’ve coaxed from their bodies.
Where the woman I love has no idea who I am.
Where the driving force behind my revenge is alive and well, and has taken it upon herself to make sorting out my new reality increasingly difficult.
I’m reliving each day as if it hasn’t already happened while everyone around me remains oblivious to the truth. My sole objective is preventing history from repeating itself, and I’m failing miserably.
Perhaps I’m death incarnate. Perhaps I’m the embodiment of life.
Either way, I plan to set the scales straight, reclaim my precious little lamb, and take back what’s rightfully mine.

Blurb
I stop pucks flying at 100mph, but even I didn’t see this shot coming.
On the surface, I’ve got it all. I’m the starting goalie and Captain of the Colorado Bulldogs hockey team. I’ve got more money than I know what to do with. I can count an entire team of elite athletes as my friends. And according to the pundits, I’m an eligible bachelor.
That’s the image everyone sees, but it’s just a role I play. A part dictated by my career. I have to be just as perfect off the ice as I am on it since everything I do reflects on my team in some way or another. So, those questions I have about why I don’t crave sexual contact the way my teammates do–questions I’m afraid to ask with the world watching… I decided a long time ago it didn’t make sense to look for answers until after I retire.
Then I ran into him.
Tripp is loud, obnoxious, and full of confidence. Some people find his sass off-putting, but not me. I find it intriguing, and I admire his ability to be himself, consequences be damned. Apparently, I also admire the way he looks, since my eyes seem to linger on him longer than they should, and when he sets his sights on me…
Waiting for retirement to explore who I am seems like too big a sacrifice, so when Tripp offers to help me answer some of those questions about myself, I jump.
I’m tired of pretending to be Mr. Perfect… Tripp and his playboy antics might be just the thing I need to figure out who I am outside of hockey. The only problem is, everyone–including our mutual friends–see him as a bad pucking influence.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi! I’m Michele. I was ten when I read my first romance, a Jude Deveraux book I swiped from my mom’s bookshelf. I’ve read anything and everything since then; historical fiction, mystery, fantasy and even non-fiction. I devour it all. But I keep coming back to romance. Though sports romance is my guilty pleasure (I love all things active and outdoors), I don’t discriminate by genre or trope.
I love a steamy story (no closed-door scenes for me) but I also love romance. I want to see the emotion behind the steam, to understand what drives characters to fall in love. And I want to fall in love with the people on the page as they’re falling in love with each other. Above all else, I want the fantasy to feel like it could be reality. That’s why I started writing.
I am an Amazon Best Selling Author in the Fiction Anthology category. My first book series, Mile High Romance, is currently available on Kindle Unlimited. Shameless plug – several of those books have been recognized in the MARA Fiction From the Homeland contest. My second series based in a small Colorado town will debut sometime in the fall of 2022. I live in Colorado with my husband, two sons, and an adorable fur baby.
