Book Description
USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart brings you a forced-proximity, naked-man-on-my-couch hockey romcom that'll have you snort-laughing! Grab the prequel to her new series: The Wilcox Wombats, and get ready to giggle. You have to be pretty desperate to consult someone referred to as the Drunken Psychic for insight into your perennially single status. But that's me... - Working in a bakery despite dreaming of culinary school. - Hanging out with my happily married friends and trying not to be gut-twistingly jealous. - And renting a blissfully sweet one-bedroom apartment on the banks of a river that has been a much-needed refuge. Until now. Because tonight, after trying to make heads or tails of the psychic's mysterious pronouncements about my love life, I arrive home to find a man on my couch. A very naked, very muscley, very handsome man. Did I mention he was butt naked? And things only get more confusing from there. We have a whole conversation, in which he reveals that he's the star center for the Wilcox Wombats hockey team, Rock Stevens. And that Rock is actually his real name. And that he's in town for a week for an all-star pickleball tournament. And that my apartment is actually his apartment. And then he refuses to leave. Things only get more confusing from there. As we try to navigate our sudden forced-roommates situation while the landlord gets to the bottom of the mixup, Rock decides to turn the tables. Instead of being annoyed that I'm in his apartment, he suddenly becomes charming. Sweet, even. And even though I know it's a mistake, he charms me right up onto the kitchen counter, and... well, you can imagine the rest.

Book Description
Pickleball Pete loves pickleball! He plays all the time and works hard to get better. There are three other animal players in the game. Dexter the Dog plays to win. Karina the Kangaroo likes to meet new people. Betty the Bear wants to try a new hobby. The story accounts characters playing a pickleball game, how they act towards one another, and problems that arise. It illustrates how one player’s competitive, mean behavior can ruin the game for everyone. Pickleball Pete explains how sports are supposed to be fun and winning isn’t everything. Pickleball Pete: A Tale of Good Sportsmanship was inspired by the author watching “adults behaving badly” on the pickleball court. Good sportsmanship, kindness, and other social skills seem to be on the decline today. The story of Pickleball Pete serves as a resource for teachers, counselors, and parents to start a conversation with children about these seemingly neglected qualities.

The day I met Cadence, I was drunk, lying on the floor of her rescue singing Twinkle Twinkle to a dog. The second time I met her, she was waitressing at a club. She was a dream, and the way she lit up around me, I thought I found my future. Until my brother let it slip that I own the club and was technically her boss. The third time I saw her, I was drunk again, mostly naked, upside down on a stripper pole. Then I fell off. Of course she’s able to resist me. But when I find her and her grandma sleeping in the rescue? Well maybe forcing them to come live with me wasn’t the best plan, but now that they’re here, I don’t want to let them go. So I’m going to work like hell to prove to her that she can trust me with all of her.
