Tampa Suns Hockey Romance, Volume One, contains three complete novels: Healthy Scratch, Risky Move, and Timely Assist. Follow the growing group of friends centered around the Tampa Suns Hockey team. Although interconnected, readers can enjoy each book on its own. Fans of The Clearing The Ice Trilogy will find old friends and new ones introduced in the trilogy. Healthy Scratch: He wants out of the friend zone…she doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Relationships are not in Lauren Gentry’s playbook. The only kind she’s willing to consider are friends-with-benefits, and even a red-hot and sexy hockey player like Dave Martin isn’t going to change that. Right? When those chocolate brown eyes threaten to melt her defenses, she has to remind herself that demons from her past could rise up at any moment. Which is going to be pretty hard to do, since she loses herself every time they touch. Dave used to love the benefits that came easily to professional athletes, especially when they were in the form of puck bunnies who only wanted one night. But when he meets the pint-sized girl with bewitching green eyes and sun-streaked auburn hair, his outlook suddenly changes. He wants forever with Lauren. Now he just has to convince her. Can Lauren risk everything for the man she’s secretly been falling for? Or will her past stop her from taking a chance on love? Risky Move I know all the reasons I shouldn’t kiss you… and then I look at your eyes, and those intentions cease to exist. She’s his brother’s nanny... and totally off-limits. To escape her overprotective mother, Cassie moves to Tampa to decide her future and claim her independence. When she lands a job as a live-in nanny to adorable twin infants, she’s convinced she’s on the right track. Until she meets her new housemate, Tom, an off-the-charts gorgeous neurologist (are they even allowed to be that sexy?), her boss’ brother, and her aunt’s best friend. There are way too many points of contact for them to take the risk... but Cassie can’t help but fantasize what contact with him would feel like. Tom knows the stakes, but Cassie’s vibrant spirit strikes a chord in his heart, and he can’t stay away. But when they think they’re moving in sync, the unthinkable happens. Did taking the risk create a chasm too wide to bridge? Timely Assist "Tough moments, inspiring details, and everything in between..." She has no time for romance. He’s not looking for love. Neither sees the slapshot life sends their way. Shannon Mackenna’s life revolves around her family, with her four-year-old daughter at the center. She knows firsthand how life can change in an instant. Her parents’ unexpected death taught her never to take things for granted. She lives with no regrets—not even the one-night stand with a minor league hockey player that resulted in a surprise pregnancy. When she tried to contact him, he denied recognizing her, and Shannon vowed to raise her daughter alone. Cliff “Cam” Camden embraced the bad-boy-athlete persona the moment he was drafted. He enjoyed all the perks and has long stopped counting notches on his hockey stick. Now, Cam wants more than off-ice conquests. It’s time to put his career first. He’s not looking for distractions—until he meets the beautiful, sassy owner of Shamrock Fitness. Intrigued by the elusive, private woman, Cam hopes for the chance of something more. Shannon fears her past has collided with her carefully scripted life. Neither denies the mutual attraction, but Shannon must protect her secret at all costs—even if it means walking away from her happily ever after.

“If a judgment were ever rendered on all the multi-million words I have spoken into microphones, I hope something like this could be said: ‘He [Huntley] had a great respect, almost an awe, of the medium in which he worked. He regarded it as a privilege, not a license.... Perhaps the best I might hope is that by some accident of voice tone or arrangement of words I did, on a few occasions, excite, exhort, annoy or provoke a few of my fellow human beings to think with their heads, not the viscera’”—Chet Huntley. This biography of NBC newsman Chet Huntley, who, along with David Brinkley, anchored NBC’s “Huntley-Brinkley Report,” covers his youth on a farm in Montana, his education and his graduation from the University of Washington, his development as a radio personality and news reporter for stations in Seattle, Spokane, Portland, and his work for CBS, ABC and NBC radio and television in Los Angeles from 1939 to 1955. It also details his move to New York and his work on the “Huntley-Brinkley Report” from 1956 to 1970, his retirement from the news business, his supervision of the development of the Big Sky Ski resort in Montana, and his death from cancer in 1974 at the age of 62.
