One flood. One favor. One rule they’re both about to break
Talulah ‘Lulu’ Parnell has always been easy to underestimate. The sparkly, free-spirited teacher who talks with her hands and believes in celebrating everything. She’s used to being seen as soft. She’s also had a crush on her brother’s best friend and teammate since forever.
Logan Miller has built his life around discipline and distance. The grumpy, gorgeous, emotionally allergic Colorado Storm defenseman lives for structure, silence, and rules. Especially the one about not touching his teammate’s little sister, Lulu.
Until she buys the house across the street. Until he starts asking for dog-sitting favors. Until a burst pipe turns her kitchen into a swimming pool—and his guest room into a very bad idea.
Letting Lulu stay with him while her house dries out feels like the right thing to do, until her streak of terrible dates turns into one very questionable idea for “lessons”.
He’s determined to stay detached. She’s determined to crack him. But proximity makes it hard to ignore what’s been simmering between them, and even harder to pretend it’s only temporary.
Somewhere between the acts of service, inside jokes, and lessons that stop being hypothetical, Logan realizes that falling for Lulu might not be a mistake at all.
She’s sunshine, he’s stormclouds. And some lessons you can’t learn until you’re willing to get a little messy.
Break The Ice is a grumpy x sunshine, brother’s teammate hockey romance filled with sharp banter, emotional slow burn, and lessons which have nothing to do with the classroom. Featuring the loveable Colorado Storm found family, a dog named Dusty, and the kind of love that feels like coming home. As book three in the Colorado Storm series, it can also be read as a standalone.

One night. One contract. One dangerously real fake relationship
Zoe Carlson has always handled chaos with a smile, especially when it comes to Chase Walton, the Colorado Storm’s flirtiest defenseman and her personal migraine in a backwards cap.
But after one accidental night together and one very public scandal, Zoe finds herself at the center of a PR nightmare… and the face of a fake relationship with the one man she’s sworn to resist.
It’s supposed to be simple: keep things public, professional, and temporary. But Chase has never played by the rules, especially when it comes to her.
Now she’s living in his condo, dodging feelings, side-stepping tension, and trying to ignore the fact that he looks at her like she’s already his.
But when the threats start getting real—and Zoe’s safety is on the line—Chase drops the act for good. Because there’s one thing he won’t fake: how far he’ll go to protect her.
She swore she wouldn’t fall. He’s never been more real about anything.
Now the only thing more dangerous than the lie is what happens when it stops feeling like one.
Make the Play is a steamy, high-stakes hockey romance packed with quick-witted banter, fake dating chaos, emotional heat, and a golden retriever hero who plays for keeps. Includes darker themes around stalking. As book two in the Colorado Storm series, it can also be read as a standalone.

It Was Always You
I’m Hailey, a coffee-fueled romance writer who believes every great story needs three things: heart, heat, and a sense of humor. I write the kind of books I love to read—where characters are flawed, funny, and swoony.
My debut novel, Seal the Deal, is a spicy hockey romance about second chances, undeniable chemistry, and a protective cinnamon-roll athlete who’ll do anything to get back the girl who got away.
I write for readers who love:
✨ Hot-but-adorable cinnamon rolls (with big hearts and bigger... feelings)
✨ Found families & steamy moments that might melt your Kindle
✨ Witty banter and on-page text messages
✨ All the side character besties from every 2000s TV show ever (cough PACEY WITTER cough).
Stick around, things are just getting started. And don’t forget to join my newsletter for all the behind-the-scenes fun. (It’s like joining a secret club, minus the creepy initiation rituals but with a good dose of oversharing in GIFs).
