Be "just friends" with a smokeshow like her? That's pretty much a p#cking impossible ask.
—Tyler Lockhardt, VEGAS CRUSH
I'm just over here minding my business playing hockey for the Crush when the SMOKESHOW of my dreams turns up and seriously rocks my world.
For real.
Beautiful, smart, and so incredibly sweet I cannot help myself from wanting to get to know her a whole lot better.
But it's not happening.
C*ck-blocked by her paranoid older brother (also my teammate) and her Feminazi sister, I've lost my game long before I ever had any.
It gets worse.
Zoya Kolochev has zero interest in dating hockey players and she is completely firm on that.
She would like to be my friend though. *facepalm*
I know I'm definitely not boyfriend material, but I don't think I'm very good friend material either.
But it's what she wants... so I guess I'll have a new "friend" now.
A smokin' hot, legs-for-days, sexy, gorgeous SMOKESHOW for my new friend.

Raine Miller is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author since 2012.
Before that, she spent two decades teaching kiddos to read–something she’s most proud of. These days, writing steamy romance stories pretty much fills up the hours. . . for which she keeps pinching herself to make sure she’s not dreaming.

She has a handsome husband, two amazing sons, and two very bouncy Italian greyhounds to keep her busy the rest of the time. Her boys know she writes romance books but gratefully have zero interest in reading even a single one. Thank God!
When she’s not writing she’s likely deep into a hockey game cheering on her beloved Vegas Golden Knights and dreaming up a new book. The greyhounds are likely to be in her lap while she writes the books or watches hockey—both dogs at the same time.
She loves to hear from readers and chat about the characters she’s created.

Brit DeMille is the alter ego of NYT Bestselling author, Raine Miller, having an absolute blast writing books quite different from what she writes as Raine.
Stories about sexy billionaires [millionaires make the cut too] who fall in instalove with young women who may or may not be virgins, and then go on to make adorable babies together are her favorite themes. In addition to the billionaires, hot hockey players are at the top of her list of favorite heroes, along with royals and ex-military bodyguards.
Most important when she writes a story is a happily ever after. But during the actual writing of the story, the most important thing is a cup of hot tea with a splash of milk (and don’t forget the stash of cherry Jolly Ranchers).
A dog or two will likely be in between her and the chair at any given moment, which is very handy because they are the ones who approve everything she writes.
