Should've Known Better
Sara Jenkins is a self-professed math geek and hockey fanatic. She's thrilled when the Buffalo Sting of the NHL hire her as an advisor because she can marry her two loves into the perfect job.
Sebastian St. Amant is a young French-Canadian hockey player looking to make the jump from the minors to the big leagues. His lifelong dream is within reach, but he needs to convince the Sting's management and coaches he's ready for the NHL.
Sara and Sebastian meet, and sparks fly immediately. Both want to succeed at their jobs, but they can't ignore the growing attraction between them. Of course, a relationship is out of the question since Sara works for the Sting and Sebastian is a player -- and one fifteen years her junior. But the impossible becomes the necessary as Sara and Sebastian find they can't fight their attraction any longer. Being together might destroy them both, but they'd still win at the game of love.
Author Interview:
1. Does Sarah have any control over Sebastian's job?
The answer to that isn't simple. Sarah is not a coach, but her recommendations to the coaching staff do make a difference in the playing style of the team, who gets ice time, etc. Because she's not a direct controller the line between moral and immoral in her relationship with Sebastian is very gray.
2. Does Sarah play hockey as a hobby? Who would win her or Sebastian?
No, Sarah has never played hockey but has been a fan of the game since she was a kid and went with her dad to games.
3. Are there any sequels? Will there be?
There are no sequels - yet. As soon as I have time I'll write Sebastian's roommate's Rob's story. The readers have been clamoring for it, and who I am to say no to readers? ;-)
4. What character does the title relate to?
Both of them. In the end, they both get burned, but that doesn't mean it's not a HEA. Could my answer be a little more obtuse? I don't think so!
5. What do you like most and least about hockey?
The most: the speed and skill of the game, and genuine goodness of most of the players
The bad: lack of respect from a few players toward their opposition (which is a problem in all sports)
Thanks for having me!
