Sleet Banshee

Mother freaking hockey players. My friends found their happily-ever-afters with a couple of sweet, doting, over-the-top, in-love athletes. They got nicknames like Kitten and Sugar. But me? I got stuck with a dickhead who riles me up on purpose and calls me Banshee. Yeah, he might have a voice made specifically for wet dreams. And he might have a body and face carved by the gods. And he might have a level of Alpha-hole that gets me all hot and bothered. But when he presses my buttons, he presses ALL my buttons. And I'm not the type of girl who takes things sitting down. And I only got caught on my knees that one time. In the museum. But when my decisions gets one of my friends hurt... I can't stop blaming myself. And him. Except he can't take a hint. And I can't keep my panties on.

Ellendige ijshockeyspelers... Mijn vriendinnen hebben allemaal hun sprookjeseinde gevonden en daten met lieve, romantische topsporters die stapelgek op ze zijn. Hun vriendjes hebben schattige koosnaampjes voor ze. En wat krijg ik? Een koppige eikel die me continu en met opzet uit de tent lokt en die me ‘Feeks’ noemt. Oké, hij heeft dan wel een stem die je hoort in je meest erotische dromen. En hij heeft dan wel een lichaam dat op dat van een Griekse god lijkt, met bijbehorende knappe kop. En, oké, hij heeft misschien wel zo’n alfamannetjeskarakter waar ik totaal opgewonden van raak… Maar hij haalt het bloed vanonder mijn nagels. Hij maakt me knettergek. En ik ben niet het type vrouw dat dat allemaal zomaar over zich heen laat komen. Ik bedoel, ik laat hém wel over me heen komen, maar dat was maar één keer. In het museum. Als blijkt dat door mijn gedrag een van mijn vriendinnen serieus wordt gekwetst, zoek ik de schuld bij mezelf. En bij hem. Het is klaar. Punt. Uit. Alleen... Hij snapt de hint niet. En mij lijkt het maar niet te lukken om bij hem vandaan te blijven...

Four-year degree in business. Trained in hand-to-hand combat. Works well with zombies. This is the resume of the last mailman on Earth. It is the near future, and the modern world we knew has been overrun and destroyed by reanimated corpses who hunt humans for food. Mankind has retreated to small pockets of civilization and practically surrendered to the walking dead. But one man routinely leaves behind the safety and comfort to find the people and things we’ve long abandoned. He battles the elements. He battles his own brewing insanity. But mostly, he battles zombies.

My friends have convinced me. No more hockey players. With a dad who is the Head Coach for the Minnesota Sleet, it seemed like an easy decision. My friends have also convinced me that the best way to boost my fragile self-esteem is through a one-night-stand. A dating App. A hotel bar. A sexy-as-hell man, who's sweet, and funny, and did I mention, sexy-as-hell... I fortified my courage and invited myself up to his room. Assumptions. There's a rule about them. I assumed he was passing through town. I assumed he was a businessman, or maybe an investor, or accountant, or literally anything other than a professional hockey player. I assumed I'd never see him again. I assumed wrong.

Standing on an icy bridge above a frozen river, he must decide if he will quit once and for all. But this time, quitting just might save his life. Sawyer Kent knew he could never go back home. Lies, broken promises, and the ruin of Sarah had settled that. Some matters were impossible to fix. Or for a man like Sawyer, too troublesome. But after squandering a promising Broadway career, he receives a plea that he cannot ignore. Sawyer's great mentor and high school director, Ed Bertollini, lay dying. The old man's hospital-bed request is for Sawyer to return home and complete Bertollini's final show. With no future, little dignity, and the loathsome prospect of disappointing the only man who genuinely loved him, Sawyer Kent finds himself traveling back to a world of familiar faces, old grudges, and a cast of talented young teens counting on him to sort it all out. With the help of a Christian friend, Sawyer begins to navigate the strange battlefield of his new life. Unknown to him, however, is an old secret that has been kept hidden from him for years. This surprising truth may threaten to crush his new life and the fragile faith that has begun to take root in his heart.

"If you're a fan of Kristen Ashley, then you will love this book." -- Aestas Book Blog on Four Letter Word He didn't want to be bad. He just didn't have a choice... Shayla Perkins isn't the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean "Stitch" Molina. So when he gives her the world's biggest rejection, that's it--she's done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn't mean he's interested in her. Or does it? Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he's paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected--especially from a man like Sean. He's tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before. Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most...is to let each other go?
