Summary: Eight seasons ago, Jarek Badura made the biggest mistake of his career, earning him the nickname “Joke.” He’s been fighting ever since to prove that season was a fluke, and he’s only just started to leave it behind, finally regaining some respect and securing his place as second line center. But his team just made a new acquisition, and suddenly he’s linemates with the man who was the unknowing catalyst for his fall from grace all those years ago. After seven long seasons, Hunter Michaud is done carrying his disastrously managed team. An unrestricted free agent, he startles the hockey world by accepting an offer elsewhere, signing with a team that works together and builds on each other’s strengths. And it doesn’t hurt that one of Hunter’s longtime idols is on the roster. He just doesn’t realize how much his career is already intertwined with Jarek’s. Or how much resentment is waiting for him in Pittsburgh. Or how much chemistry is hiding under the ice between them. Own Goal is a 125,000-word contemporary hockey romance that isn't currently part of a series, but the author doesn't dare declare it a standalone because that's just asking for it. For fans of slow burns, grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, and teammates to lovers!

Summary: An oblivious roadie and a lighting designer with self-confidence issues...will they ever manage to communicate what they want? All Dave wants is a low-stress job driving flight cases around, loading and unloading, rinse and repeat. Then he can go home and spend what time he can with his kids, concentrate on his pottery, listen to music and gardening podcasts and dream about the life he’s never had. He’s known Richie for years and he’s never thought of him as more than a mate. Never thought of himself as anything other than straight. It’s a shock when he suddenly realises he has a massive crush on the guy. It’s more than a shock for Richie when Dave turns up at a Heggarty’s Bow gig with an empty truck instead of a van full of kit. There’s no time for Richie’s usual low-key flirtation with the oblivious Dave whilst they’ve got twelve hours to rig a show in the middle of nowhere. And it’s not Dave’s fault the steering on the van blows out on the way home, either. Thrown together overnight in a hotel, will Dave confide his attraction to Richie? Or will Richie snap first and make a move? Surely all the time they’ve spent in the van driving around the country means they’ve had plenty of time to talk. Or does it?
