Single dad, Wade Jenkins, Magnolia Grove’s landscaping hottie who likes to mow lawns without a shirt on is thrown for a loop when his spirited seven-year-old daughter Goldie comes to live with him. While Wade’s thrilled to have his daughter full-time, there’s one little issue . . .
The elementary school principal.
Lemon Walsh is a woman who doesn’t live life to the fullest, despite her best friend urging her to all the time. When someone from her past shows up front and center, she has no choice but to finally reconcile the decision she made in college.
Will one of her students be the catalyst for change?
Watching too many women settle for mediocre men has made me lose my taste for relationships, but when I see Duncan Lavoie again after all this time, suddenly I’m starving.
An awkward chance encounter with my secret former fling in an upscale dressing room should’ve been the beginning and the end of having the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot AF hockey captain back in my life, but it’s not.
Because he’s just bid an unspeakable sum of money to win me in a charity auction. We’re talking this woman is mine money. No one else can have her money. Touch her and die money.
News flash, Lavoie: I’m not for sale, and that bid doesn’t come with favors.
But after the auction, the entire city is shipping us. Strangers are giving me knowing winks. My bosses want to use the publicity of our “Are they, aren’t they?” gossip coverage for the benefit of the team.
Which is the other problem. If I go along with this, I’m no longer professional baseball coach Addie Bloom. Now I’m just that girl dating a hockey player.
Duncan asked me to choose between him before my career once before. Now he says he’s never gotten over me. He says he wants to try again. He says this time is different.
But is it? Or will taking another chance, this time a public chance, with him put my career—and my heart—on the bench forever?
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.
This was such a fun story! I loved the way the met up again inside the dress store. It was perfectly embarrassing and hilarious and face-palming, which is pretty much what I expect from Pippa Grant.
I was happy to see that Duncan finally got his own story and it did not disappoint. When he got his second chance with Addie, he matured and really thought about what would get him what he wanted…her. It was a fun and steamy story and I couldn’t read the words fast enough.
Addie was the exact kind of heroine you want to root for. She has plenty of reasons to avoid relationships, which were totally understandable, but she was also able to see what was happening and how good it was for herself. This is what I’d call a ‘grown folks’ romance because they were adults about pretty much everything and it was such a fun, heartfelt and humorous read.
I’m here today to share with you a project I’ve been working on while writing the full-length follow up to Just One Night!
The idea came about while I was working on the follow-up because I am a romance author who loves romance and travel so the idea of a series that features both was too appealing and here we are.
Today we have the trope reveal for the first book in the One Night series, One Night in Amsterdam. This is Trish & Nate’s story.

High-octane thrills come to the cozy town of Magnolia Grove in the latest must-read book by NYT Best-selling author LP Dover!
Declan Parker thought he left the danger and thrills of being an undercover FBI agent behind when he moved to the small town of Magnolia Grove. Then he meets beautiful and feisty dentist, Ayla Carington, and his heart races in an enticing new way.
Ayla is more than a pretty face. With her quick wit and tenacity, Declan finds himself falling for her fast.
Unfortunately, clouds of darkness creep in when Declan’s past follows him to Magnolia Grove. More than anything he wants to keep Ayla safe from the dangers lurking closer. Thankfully, he doesn’t have to do it alone. The greatest benefit of this small town is that everyone protects each other. And these locals aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
Will Ayla be able to see past Declan’s checkered history? Or will the life he had before cost him his chance at true happiness? One way or another, life in Magnolia Grove was about to get a lot more interesting!
As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back–especially when it comes to past flames.
So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.
My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.
Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history.
And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.
Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.
