Every town has a secret. Every story has a lie. And every truth comes with a price.

A new psychological thriller inspired by A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the Netflix adaptation of Voicemails for Isabelle.

If you love stories from the minds of Veronica Bane and Holly Jackson, this is for you.

Coming October 2027.

The truth at Magnolia Coast is waiting.

I made a pinterest board of what i imagined my main characters in my new hockey romance Playing For Keeps would look like and i thought i would share it with you!

Bea is warm, smart minded and delicate who loves fresh flowers sitting in chipped ceramic mugs while Liam is cold, broad shoulders and crooked smiles with impossible expectations

Playing For Keeps will be yours March 13 2027 and I cannot wait! this book was so fun to write with so many emotions tied! I can’t wait for you to experience the world of Bea and Liam coming soon!

I am so excited to officially reveal the cover for Playing for Keeps! 💜🏒

This story has completely stolen my heart. It has fake dating, a hockey star in a scoring slump, a girl who accidentally becomes his lucky charm, found family, swoony romance, and so many moments that made me smile while writing. I can’t wait for you to meet Bea and Liam.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to my incredible cover designer, Bella. You brought this book to life in a way I could have only dreamed of. Your talent, creativity, and attention to every little detail are truly unmatched, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for creating the most beautiful cover for my story. You’re absolutely amazing. 🤍

Liam Ryan can’t seem to win a hockey game… until Bea Matthews walks into the arena.

One win turns into a superstition, and suddenly the fans believe she’s the team’s lucky charm. To keep the streak alive, they agree to fake date for the season.

What starts as a publicity stunt turns into late night drives, quiet moments away from the cameras, and a love neither of them expected. But some choices are impossible to come back from, and one heartbreaking decision changes everything.

If you love:
✨ Fake dating
🏒 Hockey romance
🤍 He’s obsessed first
🍂 Slow burn
💍 Forced proximity
🥹 Found family
💋 Banter and tension
❤️ “I’ll always choose you”
💔 Soul crushing heartbreak
🌟 She’s his lucky charm

📖 Playing for Keeps releases March 13.

📚 Preorder information is coming soon.

Get ready to laugh, fall in love, and have your heart completely shattered. ❤️‍🩹
