Between the Glass: A Steamy Off-Limits Hockey Romance

by H.A. Laine

Instant download

Off the record: they are not supposed to want each other. On the record: they have spent an entire season pretending otherwise. A slow-burn athlete/journalist romance where the thing they can't say out loud is the truest thing either of them has. Ben Kowalski has been the funniest person in every room since he was eleven. One contract year left, one shot at the deal that keeps him in Portland, and the absolute last thing he needs is the new beat reporter who is the only person in the press room who does not laugh at his material. Renee Lavoie has been watching the people around her perform for six years and writing down what she sees in notebooks she does not share. Now she is credentialed inside the Wolves season for access that could rebuild what she lost, and the alternate captain keeps offering her the version of himself that does not make it into the press conference. Between the Glass is Book 2 in the Ice and Instinct series. Each book follows a different couple on the Portland Wolves. Interconnected standalones. They all play dirty.

Last Save: A Steamy Forbidden Hockey Romance

He notices everything. She was sent to find what the team is hiding. Neither of them planned for this. Milo Varga is twenty-four, the Portland Wolves' starting goaltender, and the most observant man in any room he walks into. He catalogs details the way other players read plays: quietly, completely, with nothing asked in return. He has spent his entire career being the youngest guy on the ice, the quiet one, the one nobody sees. Until a league attorney walks into the practice facility with a binder and a list of names, and Milo realizes she's the first person who has ever looked at him the way he looks at everyone else. Risa Kwon is thirty-seven, a senior league investigator, and the woman the Wolves hired her firm to bury. Her job is simple: trace the pattern of misconduct her predecessor refused to document, build a case that cannot be ignored, and protect the players who deserved better. She cannot be seen with anyone on the roster. She cannot let a twenty-four-year-old goalie rearrange her entire understanding of what she came to Portland to do. She definitely cannot fall for him. Last Save is Book 5, the series finale, of the Ice and Instinct series. Each book follows a different couple on the Portland Wolves. Interconnected standalones. They all play dirty.

Lucia survived the Wilds. Now she has to survive the beast who bled for her—and the truth of what she is. Separated from the Blackwood Pack, and from Kaelen, the Alpha who swore to protect her but kept her in a gilded cage, Lucia is stranded on the edge of the human world. Her only protector is Ragnar. The pack’s Enforcer is brutal, possessive, and dangerously intoxicating—and he has no intention of coddling a fragile human. He wants to teach her how to bite back. But as care turns into something darker, something territorial, Lucia is pulled into a war she doesn’t understand. The Wilds are waking. The creatures are calling her my lady. Her power is changing. And so is she. Because the truth of Lucia’s bloodline won’t just change her… it will tear the shifter world apart.

Unassisted: A Forbidden Slow-Burn Hockey Romance

by H.A. Laine

Instant download

She speaks in diagnoses. He's learning her language. They call it the Translation Game. A slow-burn, forbidden hockey romance where two guarded professionals can only tell each other the truth in code. Declan Rourke has spent a decade being the man everyone on the Portland Wolves can count on. The captain who never misses a shift, never shows weakness, never lets anyone close enough to see what holding it all together actually costs. He learned the price of being seen as a rookie, when a teammate sold his story to the press. So when a torn shoulder threatens to end everything, the last thing he needs is a therapist who treats his silence like a symptom. The trouble is, he doesn't want to flinch from her. He wants to learn her words. Elena Marlowe doesn't trust athletes, institutions, or men who smile like they're hiding something. She weaponizes clinical terminology the way other people use small talk. Posterior capsule. Capsular adhesion. Safe, precise words for things she refuses to feel, the armor she built the year an institution decided she was the problem. The captain is the one variable she cannot diagnose. He doesn't back away from her vocabulary. He leans in, asks what each term means, and turns her defenses into a private language only the two of them speak. Amazon review is required for this ARC.

Sabrina Jackson -Amazon reviewer...FIVE STARS. Fans of Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" series and Patrica Briggs's "Mercy Thompson" series will fall in love with this book by Miriam Khan, and keep an eye out eagerly for the next book in the series. KK jones book reviews - Amazon reviewer - FIVE STARS I had always longed for a family, but some bonds come at a price. After spending my whole life in group homes, I finally have somewhere to belong. Blacksville, West Virginia, isn’t much—quiet, forgotten, a little too empty—but it’s home to the only family I have left: The Lockes. They’re everything I never expected: wealthy, refined, and eager to claim me as one of their own. After a lifetime of being unwanted, I tell myself not to question it. But something in Blacksville feels wrong. Secrets seep through the cracks of the town, and the Lockes begin to act strange and erratic, too watchful, almost afraid. The truth always seems to circle back to Thorncrest Manor. I didn’t expect it to involve a spell cast a century ago. I definitely didn’t expect it to involve crossed bloodlines and something waiting to be born. Because the people of Blacksville already know what I’m starting to see: there’s something I'm supposed to uncover, something powerful and life-changing. And whatever has been haunting my family for generations is waiting for its moment to rise and take reign, which is why it's time for me to find out not only who, but what I am, and save my kind before it’s too late. A spell-binding new adult paranormal romance with a touch of gothic... Part 1 novella length of 145 pages. Part 2 available on Amazon. Book 2 released July/August. [Read More]
