Over The Line *
An injury. Two pink lines. One future neither of them planned
Reid Hutchison knows how to hold the line. As the Colorado Storm’s veteran goalie, control has defined his career and his life. When an injury sidelines him, the last thing he expects is to be drawn into the orbit of Dr. Carina Park.
Carina is brilliant, disciplined, and fiercely guarded. As a senior orthopedic surgical resident in a high-pressure sports medicine clinic, she’s spent years earning her place in a world that rarely makes room for women like her.
What begins as a private, no-strings-attached connection deepens into something neither of them planned for when Carina finds herself pregnant. Her career suddenly hangs in the balance, and for the first time, control slips through her fingers.
For Reid, the question isn’t about obligation, but intention. As his career and identity begin to change, he’s forced to consider what he wants to grow and nurture, what he’s willing to protect, and the type of life he wants to build.
Over the Line is a spicy, strangers-to-lovers, accidental pregnancy pro hockey romance about about choices, roots, and the courage it takes to build a life that doesn’t follow the plan. Featuring a gruff but devoted goalie, a brilliant heroine who refuses to shrink herself, and the Colorado Storm found family readers love.
As book four in the Colorado Storm series, it can also be read as a standalone.

One flood. One favor. A rule they’re both about to break
Talulah ‘Lulu’ Parnell has always been easy to underestimate. A 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 pro hockey teammate since forever.
Logan Miller has built his life around discipline and distance. The gorgeous but 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 moves in across the street, and 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 “wishlist” jar.
He’s determined to stay detached. She’s determined to crack him. But their close proximity makes it hard to ignore what’s been simmering between them, and even harder to pretend it’s only temporary.
Break The Ice is a grumpy x sunshine, secret relationship, brother’s teammate hockey romance filled with banter, spice, 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 chemistry that sizzles.
As book three in the Colorado Storm series, it can also be read as a standalone.

One night. One contract. A very 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 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 some 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.
Make the Play is a spicy, frenemies-to-lovers, fake dating hockey romance packed with quick-witted banter, fake dating chaos, a heap of spice, 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
Oh hey, it’s me!
I hate writing these author bio thingies because I never know what to say and does anyone actually read these? I dunno.
But, hello! I’m Hailey. I write sports romance and firefighter romance, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about found family, emotionally unavailable men with excellent forearms, women who are funny and strong, and all the beautiful, terribly messy human emotions that connect us all.
You probably already know what romance books generally include, so I won’t give you a spiel about stories full of heart, heat, and guaranteed HEAs, because that’s a given.
What I can tell you is that I grew up watching Roswell (the original, obviously) and Grey’s Anatomy in real time, and those season cliffies were HARD.
I’ve always loved the secondary/best friend characters more than the mains (think Pacey Witter, Cristina Yang, Summer Roberts, etc) because I connected with them more. They were usually given more humor, the weirder arcs and quirks, followed by unexpected depth and growth. They were messy and loyal and occasionally unhinged, and I loved them for it.
So I guess that's what I strive to achieve with what I write. I like the oddball, the banter and the funny found family situations which start as a joke but end up being the place someone finally feels at home. I like the angst that sneaks up under the funny parts. The kind of love that doesn’t fix every broken thing, but does make the broken things easier to carry.
Also, a decent spice scene. Because let’s be honest—we were robbed of those parts in all of the best TV shows. Understandable, but still rude.
So if you like kissing books which aren’t just about kissing, a little emotional damage, and some hockey romance written by someone who watches hockey and can often be found ranting on Instagram about trades, rosters, injuries, and the playoffs (go Avs!), or an author who is planning to ask her local fire station for a tour so her firefighter romance books stay relatively accurate… then you might like my stories.
No pressure. But don’t tell me if you don’t, because I’ll cry.
Don’t be shy…
Me, every time someone signs up to my newsy.
