Cedar Bluff Penalties

Franchesca "Frankie" Blake's life is a carefully balanced chaos: single mom, rink-side bartender, and secret late-night skater with two left feet.

Romance? Not on the schedule. Especially not with the cocky, dominant, too-hot-for-their-own-good beer league boys who practically live at the rink.

At least, that's what she tells herself—right up until a babysitter emergency drops her kids in the laps of Travis and Elliot.

Travis is a rugged carpenter who smells like sawdust and sin. Elliot is a golden retriever firefighter who blushes when he's turned on. They're best friends, which makes her off-limits. But stolen glances spark into heated kisses, secret phone calls, and one night that turns into three tangled bodies and dangerously tempting more.

Now Frankie's juggling bedtime stories, secret sleepovers, and two men who don't know how to share—but aren't willing to let her go.

But someone else is watching.

A stalker lurks in the shadows, leaving behind chilling reminders that her past isn't as far behind as she thinks. And when obsession turns dangerous, Travis and Elliot might be the only thing standing between her and the threat she doesn't dare name out loud.

She never planned to fall for either of them.

She definitely didn't plan to fall for both.

And she never expected the biggest risk would be surviving it.
