I’m so excited to share the cover for Hot Shot! I’ve had this one for a while and trust me, it was hard to keep this to myself! Thank you to the cover artist, Sleepy Fox Studio!

A cowboy walks into a bar looking for NHL’s new rookie hot shot and gets more than he bargained on…
Welcome back to Elmwood! Hot Shot belongs to Denny and Hank, the hockey star and the stranger with a cowboy hat who needs a quick fix favor. Except nothing happens fast in Elmwood and Denny isn’t a cocky, egotistical jock who can be charmed into doing some easy PR work. But maybe they can make a deal. A sexy, temporary proposal, no strings attached, and no chance of falling for each other. Except…it might be too late for that.
I can’t wait for you to meet Denny and Hank, and catch up with the rest of the Elmwood gang!
Hot Shot is book five in my Elmwood Stories Small-town Hockey series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but you may want to check out the other books too!
Blurb for HOT SHOT
The rookie superstar, the desperate cowboy, and a naughty proposition…
Denny
The press calls me this year’s hot shot, the rookie who scores at will and conjures plays out of thin air. Truth is…I’m a PR nightmare. Seriously. Ask my agent.
My anxiety is off the charts. I can’t talk to the media without breaking into a cold sweat, but once I get through the season, I can regroup at home. Life is simpler in Vermont.
Well, not anymore. There’s a new cowboy in town. Literally, a cowboy. At least, Hank looks like one—he owns a horse, wears a hat, and did I mention he’s hot?
And get this…he has a proposition for me.
Hank
Proposition is a strong word. I prefer to call this a mutually beneficial arrangement. See, I could use Denny’s help with a family business venture, and though I was planning to offer cash, the jock has a sexier idea.
Not gonna lie, I’m interested.
This could be a fun distraction while I’m stuck in Elmwood. Nice enough place, however, the locals are wary of an outsider taking over the neighboring mill. Long story short…they don’t trust me. But they love their hometown hockey hero.
I don’t blame them. I’ve never met anyone like Denny—skittish in street clothes and a feral beast with cunning instincts on the ice. He’s fascinating, sexy, smart, and—
Whoa! I’m not falling for the hot shot rookie. No way, no how, no chance…
Too late.
Hot Shot is an MM bisexual, small town romance featuring a hot shot rookie, a sexy cowboy, and a proposition that changes everything.

Last but not least…
Send all the healing thoughts George’s way! He had surgery this week to remove his “you know what” and he’s in recovery mode. He’s doing well, but he’s not quite himself. The doctor says it’ll be a week before he’s himself again. Poor baby!

Hope you’re staying safe and cool this summer! Happy July and Happy Reading!
