Meet the next hockey hunk: Quinn James

My reading besties,

I have a juicy new hero for you to fall for. He's the main character in my upcoming book, THE PUCK BUNNY, a hockey star and glamour boy in from the L.A. Shooting Stars and headed straight for trouble with the Boston Brawlers, Quinn James.

Take a look at his pic and a quick chat with him below!⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Meanwhile

I still don't have a name for the new hockey rom-com series. So far I'm calling it a spin-off.

Could this be a Name That Series Contest in the making?

Yes or No? Let me know your vote!

We took down the tree--that's the downfall of having a real one. It must come down whether you're ready or not.💜

Confession: My shoulder recovery has stalled out because of inflammation in the nerves--likely due to excessive time typing at my computer. Geesh

I may need a shot! Yikes! 😳

Meanwhile-- I tried out a new recipe yesterday: Tomato-Artichoke Polenta. ➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜➜

Because I'm determined to get away from all that holiday indulgence eating,

Sorry we ate some before taking the pic! 💜

(BTW - hit me up if you want the recipe!)

I sincerely hope you're having a joy-filled New year so far!

MEET QUINN JAMES

Our hero from The Puck Bunny

Quinn James here...

I apologize for all the sweat. I just finished a work-out.

On the ice.

What kind of work out were you thinking?

Are you looking at me like I'm your next meal, like you haven't eaten in a year?

I might be a little hungry too...

Sorry. Flirting is a bad habit I need to break. There's a certain puck bunny who's making that hard for me to do. Make that impossible.

But seriously, I'm sick of the shallow L.A. bachelor lifestyle. That's why I took the deal with the Boston Brawlers, to get back to my New England roots and my family. That, and because of another matter that needs to remain confidential.

Confession: I need to mend fences with my family. I haven't been there for them over the years--not really. Not enough. Sure, I've sent them money, bought them a lot of stuff, but that's not the same thing.

What do I mean? For instance, I didn't make it home to see my dad when he was sick and dying...

Don't go hating me now--I was out of the country working through a... problem (see the confidential matter above) when he took a turn for the worse and I couldn't get back in time. I meant to. I thought I'd have time...

Now my family isn't talking to me much--and by family, I mean my brother mostly.

Mom has an idea to help get me back in his good graces, but she made me promise two things and I would do anything for her.

The second thing is a doozie. It'll take a lot of doing to deliver, but I have no choice. I'll do anything to be with my family for Christmas.

But first things first. I need to keep focused on hockey and have a helluva season with my new team.

And to do that, I need to keep that fascinating red-haired puck bunny out of my head...

"I can’t get enough of Stephanie Queen’s work. I have never read anything by her that I didn’t like and this book didn’t disappoint. I couldn’t read it fast enough. Jason and Juliette had this friction in the story that made it worth reading. I highly recommend it."
