UNspeakable

A beloved team chef. A know-it-all goalie. A morning coffee run that changes everything.

Team chef Emma Corrigan would rather eat crow than do something nice for Rusties goalie Harlan Royce. But when a life or death situation barrels his way, Emma puts herself at risk to make the save. 

With a new lease on life, Harlan sets out to achieve his one unmet life goal: become a chef. He begs Chef Emma for private cooking lessons at an unspeakable sum. The kitchen heats up when these two are cooking, and all that bickering and naughty mischief has been hiding some fiery chemistry.

Tastes turn sour when Emma’s teenaged son isn’t pleased with his mom’s choice in hockey players, but Harlan is willing to play the long game to win him over. The pot gets stirred when both of Emma’s main men face life-changing decisions, and she’s left torn between the boy she raised and the man she saved.

Can Harlan and Emma team up to keep their love sizzling? Or is it destined to scald on the back burner?

Readers typically give Unspeakable 3 out of 5 chili peppers.

For those counting, it has nine spicy scenes.

Unspeakable is relatively low angst!

No! All my books are interconnected standalones, meaning you can start and read wherever you like!

You will see couples from previous books, but isn’t that half the fun of a romance series?
