Hi friends,
Happy Tuesday! Today is a heavy-hitting day for book releases, and I’m so honored that Breakaway shares this book birthday 💙 The gorgeous Avon Books edition is out now in paperback wherever books are sold! This re-release includes a long, spicy bonus epilogue (What ARE Coop and Pen up to over the summer while Mia and Seb are at each other’s throats in the Callahan house, I wonder?), plus a redesigned cover (Don’t worry, Tangerine made her way onto the spine!) and interior. It looks absolutely stunning in person, and I am feeling incredibly lucky that this book of my heart is now so widely available!
I mean!!! Look at her!! She’s perfection:
If you happen upon Cooper and Penny in the wild, please share your sighting with me! Nothing makes me happier than bookstore pictures :) And remember that you can always request that your local libraries/indies carry the Beyond the Play series, if it’s not in stock when you check!
spice coaching + no 3rd act breakup? yes please!
The BookTok sensation: a spicy coach’s daughter college sports romance, second in the Beyond the Play series, with new exclusive content in this edition!
A secret friends-with-benefits arrangement with the hockey coach’s daughter shouldn’t have a shot in the dark of leading to more…
Cooper
As a pro-bound college athlete with a good-time reputation, I usually have my pick of puck bunnies. But lately, I’ve been in a dry spell that feels more like a curse, and the stress is affecting my game—the one thing that can’t happen if I’m going to make team captain, and eventually the NHL.
Enter Penny Ryder.
She’s my coach’s daughter, but the moment she pulls me into that ice rink closet, she’s the one thing on my mind besides hockey. She has a sex bucket list, and each item on it confirms we’re kindred spirits in the bedroom. If I say yes, I’ll be relaxed on the ice again—but if her dad finds out, I’ll be forced to say goodbye to being captain and finally earning my own father’s approval.
Penny
Thanks to the ex from hell, I’m a long way from being ready for a relationship—but it’s time to reclaim my agency, one long-sought-after experience in bed at a time.
Enter Cooper Callahan.
He’s my dad’s star defenseman; an arrangement with him will mean keeping yet another major secret from my father. But the agreement we strike is simple: secret friends-with-benefits until he makes captain…and I cross off everything on my list, so I can finally move on from the incident that ruined both my life and my figure skating career.
Yet the longer our connection goes on, the more we trust each other, and the less I want to say goodbye. I know love leads to heartbreak, but what if it can also clear the ice for a breakaway?
Filled with swoons, spice coaching, sports, and book nerds in love, Breakaway is a don’t-miss adult college sports romance.

what I’m loving:
I’m hyper-focused on Breakaway today, but here are some other things I’m into right now! I saw this section at the bottom of Victoria Lee’s most recent newsletter and thought it was too cute not to share.
What I’m reading: I just finished Love Contract by Sophie Lark, and now I’m onto Heart’s Blood by Juliet Marillier, at Olivia Hayle’s excellent suggestion
What I’m listening to: “Real Love Baby” by Father John Misty
What I’m eating: buttery lemon pasta with almonds + arugula, by Melissa Clark (via NYT Cooking)
Currently writing: Book 5 (standalone coming summer 2025)
Hang out with me: Wanderlust Book Boutique 4/13, 3pm **I will have merch and goodies!**
You wonderful, passionate readers are the reason my nerdy, smutty hockey romance is available everywhere, and I am so grateful! Thank you for your support. I can’t wait until Stealing Home re-releases in June, and when Wicked Serve hits shelves in August!
