Summary

Paula stared out of the window; her gaze fixed on nothing in particular. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, orange glow over the quiet neighbourhood. Five years had passed since the day her world had shattered into a million pieces, and yet the ache in her heart was as raw as ever. 
James had been just a little boy of eight, his laughter filling the air like a melody. He was her golden-haired boy, full of life and boundless energy. She could still remember the sound of his laughter, the way his small hand felt in hers as they walked to the park. But then, in the blink of an eye, he was gone.....

    She’s got enemies. He’s got scars. Together, they’ll face a war neither of them expected. 
    Gerard Guidry fought hard for his country — and lost a piece of himself in the process. Medically discharged and recruited into the Bayou Brotherhood Protectors, he’s ready for his first major solo assignment: guarding a stubborn farm girl with a target on her back. 
    Widowed and alone, Bernie Bellamy’s life depends on the land — and the animals she calls family. When her friend Gertrude is murdered and the threats close in, she turns to the Brotherhood for protection. 
    A fish out of water, Gerard doesn’t know anything about farms or feelings — but as danger circles and sparks fly, he’ll have to decide if love is a risk worth taking... or a weakness that could get them both killed. 
    In the bayou, love can be just as dangerous as the enemies chasing you.

    Unfortunately, this is one wedding crisis that requires more than a strategically placed bobby pin or double-sided sticky tape. 
     
    Can there be a fairy tale ending, or will it be Happily Ever Never?

    "The Gray Wolf's Daughter" by Gertrude Warden presents a richly woven narrative likely crafted in the late 19th century. Set against the moody backdrop of Victorian society, the story pulsates with drama and intrigue, revolving around the lives of Dr. Ernest Netherbridge, the ethereal Lady Clare Cranstoun, and her imposing husband, Sir Philip. As they navigate the turbulent seas of personal conflict, societal norms, and deeply buried family secrets, the novel profoundly explores themes of identity, love, and betrayal. 
    At the opening of this mesmerizing tale, we are introduced to Dr. Netherbridge, a young and earnest physician, striving to carve a place for himself in the quiet, almost languid town of Grayling. His life takes a fateful turn when he is summoned to the grand yet oppressive estate of Sir Philip Cranstoun. There, he finds Lady Clare, a vision of beauty cloaked in fragility, who battles not only a severe illness but also the weight of her tumultuous gypsy heritage and the stifling confines of her marriage. 
    As Lady Clare emerges from the shadows of her troubled existence, the narrative unfolds her tragic family history, entwined with a fervent longing for freedom and reconciliation with her roots. This longing sets the stage for a gripping tale tinged with suspense and a sense of impending danger. The intertwining fates of Lady Clare, Dr. Netherbridge, and the rigid expectations of their time create a tapestry of emotion, illuminating their struggles and desires against the stark realities of a society that seeks to bind them.

    The Games We Play, Book 1 
    Theo Mathis doesn’t regret defying the general manager during his brief stint on the Seattle Rainiers last season. The rainbow tape on his stick cost him dearly, but he’d do it again in a heartbeat… even though it means he’ll never get called up from the minors again while that GM is at the helm. 
    Then a flood of injuries leaves Seattle desperate for players, and Theo gets called up after all. But he’s warned: provoke the GM again, and he will regret it. 
    Except stick tape wasn’t the only line Theo skated over, and the temptation to cross it again has nothing to do with spite. 
    Equipment manager Christian Hayes has had that hot minor league player living rent-free in his head ever since they hooked up last year. It wasn’t love, but it was fun, and he wishes they could do it again because they want to—not as an act of rebellion. If Christian’s dad ever finds out, there will be hell to pay. But it’s a non-issue, since his dad—the team’s GM—has vowed to never call up that player again no matter how bad the team needs him… and he doesn’t even know Theo and Christian hooked up. 
    Now Theo’s back in the Rainiers’ locker room. They don’t dare risk a rematch—they both value their careers too much. All they have to do is ride this out for a few games until Theo’s sent back down. Easy enough. Right? 
    But their mutual attraction refuses to be ignored. 
    And it looks like Theo’s going to be staying a while. 
    The Games We Play is a multi-author minor league hockey romance series! All titles run concurrently through the same hockey season and the books can be read in any order, so jump in anywhere!
