The Book You Didn't Ask For

Yeah, I said what I said.

No one’s asking me to write a hockey book.

But you know what? I love hockey.

Always have (though there was a decade or so when we didn’t have a pro hockey team here in Seattle and my sports love shifted onto the Seahawks).

So, when we got our pro team (The Kraken), my love for the sport was reborn. There’s just something about the speed of the game, the violence, the strategy… it’s a rush to watch.

Last year, two of my favorite things collided: Smutty romance books and hockey.

It was, for me, a dream come true. As I was watching my favorite players last year, an idea sparked. What if a pro hockey player got a message from a fan on social media? Only, she wasn’t throwing herself at him. Instead, she was talking shit (or chirping, because… hockey). Telling him how much he sucks.

And instead of getting offended, he’s like… “Who is this chick and why’s she so hot?” And then he asks to be traded to her local team and starts to stalk her…

Since my black little heart loves dark romance and breeding kink, I’ve been frustrated by the lack of both of these things in hockey romance. It’s always so cute and fluffy and rah-rah and that’s just not me as an author. My heroes are assholes. They’re unapologetic. And at the end of the book, they’re not going to suddenly have an epiphany that what they’ve been doing is wrong and change their ways.

So, as Stefan would say, this book has everything: Breeding kink (stealthing!), somnophilia, manipulation, an over the top jealous and obsessed hero who will literally do ANYTHING to chain his heroine to him for life. He gives, like, negative ten fucks about doing what he has to do to get his way. There’s jealousy (yesssss) and one of my books wouldn’t be complete without someone getting their hands bloody.

This book should release in January (I say should because my muse is a fickle bitch and ADHD is like the shit sprinkles on top) as I’m actively focusing on finishing it. Are you looking forward to reading Dirty Hit? Let me know in the comments!
