About JUST PLAYING FOR KEEPS:
Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?
Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when Lake Axelrod, the team’s broody, tattooed right winger, swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.
Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.
It’s the perfect plan. His family stops pressuring him to settle down, and I’ll get the ultimate revenge, since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.
We need rules though.
1. To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.
2. That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.
3. When it ends, we walk away.
But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.
Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.
If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.

Release Boost: Inn Love Again
Inn Love Again by Jody Brettkelly is now live!
Lights, hammer, action!
On this season of your favorite reality renovation show, four design teams compete to turn a home into a business.
Posh design editor Tabitha is desperate to transform her parents' crumbling Cotswolds manor into a themed inn. It's the only way to keep them—and their menagerie of animals—from moving into her tiny flat.
Tabitha is teaming up with Tim, a brawny, rugby-playing builder who needs the prize money to pay for his own … complications.
He also happens to be the jerk who ghosted her seven years ago.
Now they must work together to win the cash prize, but they can’t be in the same room without sparks flying—and that’s not just the faulty wiring.
Can they demo the walls they've built up to win the show … and each other's hearts?

Killien
I'm in trouble. Since we were turned into vampires, I can't stop feeling Damien's allure. His presence seems to call for my most primal instincts, and it's so damn hard to resist... The whole thing is a mess since our maker just took off without a warning, leaving us to fend for ourselves. At least our friend, Jacob, can guide us through it all. Well—he's more than a friend for Damien, which I'm not very comfortable with. Especially because I shouldn't be feeling any of this to begin with; Damien is my stepbrother.
Damien
I have a plan to finally get Killien to melt into my arms. Who cares that we're stepbrothers? Now that I'm a bloodsucker, I don't give a damn anymore. It didn't stop me from falling for him years ago, anyway. There's a little problem, though: Jacob. He's definitely into me, and I can't help but seduce him. I mean, he's hot as hell. Old habits die hard, I guess. Living at the mercy of my own impulses is all I know. However, I do wonder if I can even win the game I'm playing.
Deviate Me is book 1 in the Tangled in Blood Ties series. The list of content warnings is available in the first few pages of the book or on my website. This book is only suitable for adult audiences (18+).

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.
Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.
The one who shows up.
The one who stays.
Even for her.
What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.
Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.
And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.
At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

Victoria
Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.
Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.
We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.
We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.
I never expected to see him again.
I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.
As the new coach of the team.
Zane
I was the youngest coach in the NHL.
I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.
My job.
It’s the only thing I had time for.
Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.
She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.
Not just because she’s younger than me.
She’s the sister to my star player.
