About the Book
Brody Saunders is the best coach in the NHL. Grumpy, menacing and with two Stanley Cups under his belt as the head coach of the DC Stars, the last thing he should be doing is hooking up with his player’s younger sister. After the night of their one night stand almost ends in tragedy, he pulls away, vowing to pretend like their rendezvous ever happened.
Hannah Everett is a world champion figure skater who doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life. When she acknowledges she’s burnt out with the sport she’s spent her whole life doing, she realizes she needs all the help she can get to find herself, and her love of skating, again.
What starts as an agreement for Hannah to coach Brody’s daughter for the figure skating season, quickly turns into something more. Between the time they’re spending together on and off the ice, Hannah starts to see Brody isn’t the short-tempered man the media portrays him to be, and the longer they fight their connection, the more the tension between them grows.
Falling in love with the girl fourteen years younger than him isn’t part of Brody’s plan, but can he stay out of the sin bin when the world finally learns about their relationship?

I always do my best to write my books as standalone novels even though they’re part of a series, but many of the characters mentioned in Sin Bin have their own books. I never want anyone to feel confused while reading, so I created a quick character catch-up so you can know who is who before diving in.
If this is your first book of mine, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re a big DC Stars fan, I hope you’re excited to be back with the boys.
For timeline purposes, the first chapters of Sin Bin takes place at the same time as the Hat Trick prologue. When we time jump to sixteen months later, we’re in the season after Hat Trick. Hat Trick’s epilogue takes place in chapter twenty of Sin Bin.
Maverick Miller and Emmy Hartwell have their own book, Face Off, which is book one in the DC Stars series. It’s a dislike to lovers, rivals with benefits, black cat x golden retriever story full of banter and spice.
Piper Mitchell and Liam Sullivan have their own book, Power Play, which is book two in the DC Stars series. It’s a grumpy x sunshine, goalie x rinkside reporter, teach me, accidental marriage story.
Hudson Hayes and Madeline Galloway have their own book, Slap Shot, which is book three in the DC Stars series. It’s a single mom x hockey player, sunshine x sunshine, slow burn story.
Riley Mitchell and Lexi Armstrong have their own book, Hat Trick, which is book four in the DC Stars series. It’s a former sunshine x sunshine, hockey player x athletic trainer, friends-with-benefits story.
As always, I’ve left lots of clues about upcoming books. I can’t wait to see if you find them!
