COVER REVEAL: SLAP SHOT (A BLADES HOCKEY NOVEL) BY MARIA LUIS

 



SLAP SHOT

Maria Luis

Release Date: September 6

He’ll
do anything for his best friend…even marry her.

I live by two universal truths:

  1. When I step onto the ice, I’m a god.

  2. Daisy Hall is the other half of my soul.


My teammates joke that I’m too co-dependent with the coach’s daughter, and maybe that’s true. We’ve been thick as thieves since college, and even when I got drafted to the Boston Blades, Daisy followed me across state lines. Which suited me just fine.

If a person can be a home, then Daisy Hall is mine.

Only, I never anticipated that my best friend might be keeping a secret from me, one big enough to rain down Hell from every team in the league. Now they’re all out for blood and I’m Daisy’s only shield.

The home we built together suddenly feels like it’s made of glass.

One wrong move, and it all might shatter.

The smart thing to do would be to focus on my game. We’re coming off a Cup win, and if I want another, I can’t afford any distractions. But there isn’t anything I won’t do to protect my girl…

Even make her my wife.

SLAP SHOT is a friends to lovers/marriage of
convenience romance. It is the fifth book in the Blades Hockey series but can be read as a complete standalone.

Release Date: July 31, 2024


As I claim my dream as a chef, my old flame returns to claim me.
How can he possibly be my missing ingredient?


STELLA:
I’ve worked my entire life to become the executive chef of my family’s fabled restaurant. But my world crumbles when Aiden Mitchell, no longer an awkward boy but now a gorgeous small-town doctor, returns. Our paths collide during a mortifying encounter in his clinic.

My first love, the man who left without a backward glance, tries to assure me he’s changed. As our cautious trust becomes pulsing heat, mysteries start unraveling, tossing family strife into my carefully laid plans. More than my heart is on the line—my family is at stake.

I want to focus on my career, not the way his touch sends me reeling. Despite the fire consuming us, finding the recipe for our second chance might be my toughest challenge ever.

Will this unexpected reunion upend the future I've worked so hard to build?

MEMORIES OF YOU is part of the Calypso Key series, where an HEA always comes with a steamy tropical twist. Can bitter endings be forgiven, and can career ambition exist with heated passion? Find out if second chances exist in this interconnected standalone.

TEASER ALERT



Misconduct by Jami Davenport releases on August 22nd!





Available on All Platforms

I've been a backup goalie my entire professional career. I've bounced around from team to team, never staying anywhere long enough to feel at home. When I join the Sockeyes, and their starter is injured for the season, I finally have a chance to prove I belong in the league.

My career might be on an upward trajectory, but my personal life is in the dumps. I've become increasingly close to a teammate's estranged and emotionally abused wife, Inga Chowaski, rescuing her from situation after situation, causing friction on the team and disrupting my normally quiet existence.

As I resist my growing attraction to the sweet, shy Inga, I have to wonder who's going to rescue me from myself?

HAPPY BOOK WEEK

🔥 STEAMY, SMALL-TOWN DRAGON SHIFTER ROMANCE ALERT ðŸš¨
My Dragon Savior by Lia Davis & Lainie Anderson is now live and #FREE to read with #KindleUnlimited!






Erin
My life was a series of calculated risks and narrow escapes—until I stumbled upon Stock Creek, a picturesque town that promised solace from my haunted past. I'm Erin Montgomery, once just another face in the bustling streets of Chicago, now the wary owner of a cozy bed-and-breakfast. I believed I could start anew here, surrounded by the warm embrace of nature and the quirky charm of small-town living.

But Stock Creek is more than it seems, and so am I. My heart still races at night, not just from the memories of the cold steel pressed against my temple or the scent of gunpowder, but from the piercing green eyes of Ashton—a man shrouded in as much mystery as the town itself. A dragon-shifter with scales as dark as the secrets he keeps, his presence ignites a fire within me that I cannot quell.

Ashton's whispers are like a balm to my scarred soul, but his touch? It's an inferno that promises to consume us both. They say fate brought us together, two beings caught in the relentless storm of our intertwined destinies. He's the protector I never knew I needed; the missing piece that makes sense of my fragmented world. But even as we grow closer, danger lurks in the shadows, a reminder that my past is never too far behind.

Ashton
I never believed in destiny. As a dragon-shifter living among humans, I've always been a master of my own fate—until Erin Montgomery crashed into my life like a tempest with eyes the color of a wild forest and hair like autumn's most daring flame.

She doesn't know it yet, but Erin is my fated mate. She sees me as the mysterious stranger who strolled into her B&B and saved her life. But our connection runs deeper than she can imagine. I can feel the pulse of her blood like the beat of a drum, calling to the very core of my being.

Erin's in danger and doesn't even know it. The shadows that chased her from the city streets of Chicago to the deceptive calm of Stock Creek are closing in. And I'll burn the world to ash before I let them touch her.

Faith

Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.

That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.

It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.

Chad

The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.

Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.

Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.

A bittersweet sonnet of love. Beneath the Desert Sun is the journey of two wandering hearts trying to find their way home. Ryan puts into words the emotions the soul struggles to say.

Shayne

I’ve never had anyone look at me the way he looks at me, like I could be his whole world.

Ford is different from other guys. For starters, he doesn’t know about my troubled past—the one this small town won’t let me forget, no matter how hard I try. Being with him, I can be myself. Without judgment. Without pretending. He’s unlocked a part of me I wasn’t sure still existed.

Just as quickly as we find each other, it’s time to say goodbye. Ford might feel a world away, but reading his letters and sharing starry nights with him keeps us close until I can be back in his arms.



Ford

From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I needed more time.

While on leave with my best friend from the Army, I finally meet his cousin, Shayne. She’s unexpected—in the best of ways. I quickly realize she could be exactly who I need her to be—my everything.

As long as my life belongs to the military, I can only offer her promises and distance. Maybe getting in involved while enlisted is a mistake, but I’m not ready to let her go. From afar, we find something neither of us was looking for, and it’s all possible beneath the fallen stars.

REVIEW: BENEATH THE FALLEN STARS (NEVER TOO FAR #1) BY KAYLEE RYAN & LACEY BLACK

Beneath the Fallen Stars (Never Too Far Book 1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A double team of the heart that blindsided the soul. Beneath the Fallen Stars says all the right words, but it's the feelings that are the loudest. Shayne and Ford are destined to tug at the heartstrings. Ryan and Black have taken the sweetest heartache and showcased the power of love.
