I was never a girl to drool over the hockey players at our academy-they're all egotistical jerks. But since my father is the coach of Scotia Storms, everywhere I turn, there's a player-in more ways than one.
I'm smart enough to know they don't just avoid me because I'm the coach's daughter. They avoid me because I'm a nerdy drama student with no game.
With winter break upon us, I plan to escape to Florida, to where no one knows my past. Or that I'm the butt of every hockey player's joke. It's true, I overheard the hurtful bet no player had the balls to take.
Not that I'd hand over my pesky V-card to any of them. Nope, I plan to take care of that problem on a beach down south.
Until the storm of the century throws a monkey wrench into my plans, and I find myself snowed-in with a smoking hot Southie. I figured he was the perfect guy to help me with my pesky problem-until my stupid heart got involved.
How could I avoid it when he was sweet and kind, and so different from the guys at the academy?
I begin to dream about our future, until the storm breaks and I realize he's everything I never wanted and I'm everything that can destroy his future.

I've been reading romance novels for as long as I can remember. I just never thought I'd be writing them. In fact, I graduated from university with a business degree and started working in the Finance Department of Environment Canada...shiver. A few years into my career, my hubby, who's a meteorologist, got posted up north, population 800. I quit my job and went with him. At first all the spare time was great, then I got bored so I started to read. Day and night. When I ran out of books to read I decided to try writing one. After all, how hard could it be. Ha!! Well, you guessed it. It was hard!
Many years later I discovered Romance Writers of America and have learned a great deal since joining my local chapter. My journey to publication hasn't been smooth sailing, but with the support and guidance from the wonderful writers at RWAC, it's been a lot easier. And a lot more fun!
I'm very fortunate to have a husband and two children who have been supportive in every possible way. On those frustrating days when I'm banging my head against my desk I look up to see a heart shaped sticky note on my computer that says I love you because you naver give up.
