What if Romeo wore hockey skates, and Juliet was raised on a farm next door? As a life-long Vermonter, there are three beliefs I’ve always held true:

1. Our family farm is everything
2. Hockey is a close second
3. The Todds next door are our sworn enemies

But this season will test everything I stand for.  I have an illicit side job that could cost me my hockey scholarship. And now Maggie Todd knows my secret. She’s waiting for the right moment to use it against me. But every time I face off against her, I learn things I shouldn’t want to know. Like how deeply her competitive streak runs, and how sexy that is. And how easy it is to make her blush… everywhere. An Adler and a Todd cannot be lovers. Breaking that rule is like pulling a pin on a grenade--everything in my life could blow up. Can we surrender to these feelings… or will our families’ feud make us its next casualty?

I’m banished to Vermont for a scandal that wasn’t my fault, and broke because my famous father cut me off. And did I mention my roommate stole my boyfriend? Yeah, I’m loving my Moo U experience.  Now I need a job, because this gel manicure won’t upkeep itself. The only available option is the last one I’d ever want--a job as the hockey team’s equipment manager. My plan is to do the bare minimum, get paid, and find my way back into my father’s good graces.  I will not get involved with a hockey player, no matter how hot. They’re cocky. And obnoxious. I know their type, and I’m not willing to risk getting hurt again. Until Lex Vonne glides into my life looking like sin on a stick.  He thinks I’m a spoiled brat. 

I think he’s using me to get ahead. 

But the fire I feel when we’re together is like a slapshot to my heart…

Jonah Daniels has enough work preparing for his hockey season without spending time interviewing a roommate to help share expenses. So when some dude answers J.D.’s ad and agrees to his terms, he puts a key under the mat and leaves for practice. 

What he doesn’t expect is that his new roommate is not a dude at all, but an overtalkative, energetic hottie. What’s worse? She’s the younger sister of his friend on the team, and she’s sworn him to secrecy.

Ryann Reiner needs a place to live, stat. After an incident at the dorms that almost tanked her scholarship, Ryann wants a boring roommate who’ll leave her alone. J.D. almost fits the bill. He lives and breathes hockey, just like her brother, and he wouldn’t know a joke unless it hip checked him against the boards.

​ He’s also gorgeous. And broody. And he looks fine on laundry day, in too little clothing. Soon, late-night study sessions turn into dangerous flirting. And then a kiss turns into more. But they’re determined to keep things in the feelings-free zone.  Until lines blur and tensions rise when Ryann’s brother learns the truth. And both their hearts are skating on thin ice...

The story behind Sliding Home...

11/10/2020

Writing a book is hard. Writing a book after having your life changed forever is even harder. Sliding Home is the first story I sat down and wrote after having my son last year and it was hard. Like, can I still be a writer hard. 

My identity shifted from wife, co-worker, educator, writer to something more--mother--and it took time to figure out what that meant. Now, over a year later, it feels right and the best thing in the entire world, but I had to learn how all the things that made me me fit together. 

The story isn't about motherhood by any means, but it's about defining yourself. Michelle had a rough life and was choosing to be different after one nurse said something to her as a child. I knew after writing Evening the Score (the standalone first book in the series) that Michelle would get her story but she was still a mystery to me.  I had a very tough time writing while pregnant. My word counts used to be in the 10K during the weekends, and I think over three months, I barely wrote three chapters. My mind and body were so focused on being healthy for our little human, my writing just stopped. My creative well was dry. 

It was after our experience having our son that everything clicked together again. I don't talk about it often but the first five days of our son's life he was in the NICU. It was terrifying and my husband and I still get very emotional when we talk about the birth, that week, what we went through. We did learn that having an emergency c-section isn't that uncommon but it felt like our very foundation went through an earthquake. 

That week, where I was healing and we were waiting on tests and news about our baby, we met the nurses of the NICU. These nurses...my eyes sting thinking about them. They were the kindest, most bad-ass, helpful, intelligent, wonderful human beings and made those life-changing few days okay. Seeing our tiny guy attached to tubes and beeping. Wow. SO much beeping. It reminded us of a baby casino and we would smile, hiding our anxiety every time we wheeled up there to see him. But those nurses were the ones who helped me form Michelle--months and months later. 

I wanted to write someone who didn't want her past to define her and someone who wanted to rewrite her future to make a difference. I dedicated the story to the nurses who are the backbone of society, all before COVID happened. This past year has just solidified that the nurses and doctors are badass, fierce, and determined to help. 

Sliding Home was written as my son napped, as my emotions went from the highest-highs, the lowest-lows, and I learned how to be a mom. I'm still learning, every day, but this book proved to me that I was still a writer. Even if it was slower than my normal pace, or that I couldn't focus because exhaustion took over. For some reason, I needed this book to help me navigate scary new waters where I got to keep a little part of myself just for me.


"If you love sports romance, or sarcastic leading ladies or hot sweet baseball players then this book is for you. It’s hot and sweet and funny..."
