Hat Trick

Twelve year hockey veteran Garrick LeBlanc isn’t ready to hang up his skates, particularly since he hasn’t figured out what the hell he’s planning to do next. He needs the new trainer to keep him fit to play, and she’s got the skills to do it. Too bad he lost his mind and hit on her the day they met. Now she hates his guts and he’s made an art of ignoring her.

When the team is put up for sale, Garrick and Savannah have to work together to save their jobs and their team. Somewhere along the way, they discover Garrick isn’t just a hockey player, Savannah isn’t only passionate about her work, and just maybe they’ve got more in common than they thought.

Fair Play, the 1st book in the Hat Trick series, is a enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a hometown hero, a kick-ass woman who can weaponize duct tape, and the Moncton Ice Cats—a hockey team that looks out for their own and takes care of each other. All of Sam’s romances take place in the same world, but Fair Play can be read as a standalone. It is an 80,000 word f/m romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA. Fair Play contains only brief m/m content, but don't worry, there's plenty more in Book 2.

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!).

Savannah Morrison has no one but herself to blame for practically shoving her lover into the arms of another man. After all, it was her idea that Garrick take a lover while they are separated for the season. She loves Garrick with all her heart, but how the hell is she going to share him with Rhian?

Rhian Savage used to have such a simple life. Now he’s in love, his dreams of skating on an NHL team are coming true, and he keeps spotting a strangely familiar face in the crowds. To top it all off, he has to see Savannah every day. He knows she’s Garrick’s real future, but he doesn’t have the balls to do the right thing for all of them and end it—until his life goes sideways. As usual.

Now Rhian is alone, Garrick is heartbroken, and Savannah—the one person Rhian figured would celebrate his departure—is beating down his door. What the hell is up with that?

Something is bothering Rhian, and his friends and family want to know what that is. His lovers, Garrick and Savannah, think they have an idea and they’re trying to give him some space. His teammates haven’t any clue, but they’re convinced that enough nights out and beautiful women making eyes at him will make it better. And his grandfather and sister just want him to be happy and to know that he is loved.

Rhian Savage does know he’s loved. He just wishes everyone else knew it, too.
