Pucking Ridiculous is out in less than two months!

I’ve teased you about Pucking Ridiculous in lots of different ways, but I could never tease you as much as Max Morin, our favourite American hockey player teases his younger British nanny or how hard she teases him back.

But the time for teasing is over. Are you ready to get to the good stuff? Because I have more reveals including a blurb and how you can be considered for an advanced reader copy (an ARC).

AND I need you to see the cover. I can’t stop staring at it because it is incredible. The art was created by @Irdeinfierno from Instagram and turned into a cover by AveryDaisyBookDesign from Etsy.

You can preorder the ebook here already. It is 99p or the equivalent in your country.

I haven’t shared any of this on my social media channels yet. The only ones who’ve seen it are my street team. So please keep it quiet until I announce it. The big reveal day on social media is Monday 24^th August! Feel free to be the perfect chaos demon and repost the hell out of it once I reveal it.

So here’s the blurb. Keeping scrolling for the cover.

Wanted: British nanny. Must be comfortable working under a silver fox hockey player with a filthy mouth who refuses to fall in love.

Tropes

age gap (13 years)

British nanny x American ice hockey player

Neurodivergent FMC

forced proximity

British ice hockey

small town vibes

Found family

Romcom

Slow burn (ish)

PUCKING RIDICULOUS blurb

American hockey player Max Morin has moved to England for one reason – to repair the strained relationship with his stepson.

But every time Max tries to bond with him, the teenager pushes him away. With only one season in England, Max is worried he’ll lose his stepson forever.

In walks a fiery redhead who gets Max and his son talking and laughing.

Ignoring his attraction to her, Max tries to hire her as a nanny.

The last thing Flora Macdonald needs is to move in with a frustrating silver fox hockey player thirteen years older than her with a filthy smirk who she loves bantering with.

But when Flora’s world implodes, she finds herself at Max’s door with nowhere else to go.

They swear to keep things platonic, but their undeniable chemistry and close proximity are a dangerous combination, and it’s not long before things between Max and Flora go from flirty to sizzling hot.

But Max is leaving in five months, and Flora doesn’t do relationships, so there’s no chance they’ll catch feelings…

That would be pucking ridiculous.

Now it's finally time for the cover.

Foxleigh Park by Lulu Moore

Miles, Lord Burlington, has a plan – return to the top spot as the world’s best polo player.

Oh, and get revenge on the guy who nearly killed him.

Ruby Lanson has simpler ambitions – become a polo player. So far she’s not doing well, and her future is an opaque vision of life as a groom, fighting off handsy patrons.

When Miles charges into her Colorado stable, first impressions aren’t good. She’s less enamored of his status than he feels she should be, and places him firmly in the category of entitled billionaire.

But Miles isn’t to be deterred.

He’s vowed to do whatever it takes to reach his goal. If offering Ruby a job at Foxleigh Park is the price to pay, then sobeit.

For Ruby, this is the opportunity she never expected, and jumps at the chance before she can think twice. Or worse, linger on Miles’s blue eyes and deep dimples.

Except visa complications means there’s only one solution.

Get married.

Because what’s the big deal? It’s a season playing polo in England, and annulments happen every day.

But the longer Ruby lives with Miles, the quicker she realizes he’s not who she thought he was. While Miles begins to think this marriage malarkey might be something he could get behind.

As the season progresses, matches are won and truths become known, Ruby and Miles soon have a decision to make. . .

Admit their marriage might be the most important match of all.

You can find Foxleigh Park here.

The Joker by Sorena Graves

Adelaide

This is still safe. He can’t reach me. He can’t touch me.

And I absolutely do not want him to, either.

If I keep telling myself this often enough, it’ll become true, right?
While exchanging letters with a convicted felon for my court-mandated community service (don’t ask), I find myself inconveniently intrigued by my prison pen pal.

Sasha seems to understand me better than anyone else has recently, but I’m not an idiot. He’s serving a life sentence, so getting too caught up in this when realistically, it has zero future, is out of the question.

Obviously.

Sasha

She is the one, the other half of my damned, rotten soul, the bright light to my darkness.

The Blackwood Correctional Facility is my castle, and I’m its motherfucking king. When I first started responding to the letters from this woman who always seems to be oversharing, I did it to get the counselor off my back. I've got plans and I need them to think I'm on board with their program, not building my own empire.

But I hadn’t expected her. I’ve never met anyone like her and I’m sure I never will again. It doesn’t take me long to figure out I’m obsessed with Adelaide Romano and there is no doubt in my mind that she’ll be mine.

You can find The Joker here.
