Garrick LeBlanc is lonely and counting the days until his last season with the Ice Cats is over and he can move to Boston. When his girlfriend suggests he take a lover—as long as that lover is a man and he tells her all about it—Garrick laughs it off. But damned if his friend Rhian doesn’t suddenly take on the starring role in his fantasies. Good thing Rhian is way too young—and straight—for what Garrick has in mind.
Rhian takes a chance when Garrick’s increasingly confusing signals start making sense, and soon discovers he’s bitten off more than he can chew. Sex with strangers is simple. Sex with his best friend? Complicated.
Two Man Advantage, the 2nd book in the Hat Trick series, is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring a man who thinks he’s meant to go through life alone, his one and only friend, and the Moncton Ice Cats—a team that looks out for their own. Two Man Advantage can be read as a standalone, but will probably be even better if you read Fair Play (Hat Trick Book 1) first.
It is an 58,000 word m/m romance with NO CHEATING, no cliffhangers, and a swoony HFN (with an HEA just around the corner in Book 3!).
Samantha Wayland has three great loves in life: her family, writing books, and hockey. She is often found apologizing to the first for how much time and attention is taken up by the latter two, but they forgive her because they are awesome and she clearly doesn’t deserve them.
Sam lives with her family—of both the two- and four-legged variety—outside of Boston. She is a wicked passionate New Englander (born and raised) who has been known to wax rhapsodic about the Maine Coast, the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, and the sensible way in which her local brethren don’t see a need for directional signals (blinkahs!).
Her favorite things include dirty martinis, tiny Chihuahuas with big attitude problems, and the Oxford comma.
