"Behind the Pitch" is a novella set in the "Chasing Serenity" universe and is told in Declan Fraser's point of view. The release date is set tentatively for December/January.
Synopsis:
Expat Irish rugby player Declan Fraser only wanted to play the sport he
loves. He didn’t want to be stuck in this middle-of-nowhere town at this all
too quaint university. He didn’t want his team captain to be an entitled
jackass who switched Declan's position on the squad just to make himself look
good. And he sure as hell didn’t want to fall in love with graduate student
Autumn McShane.
Autumn is stubborn, but gorgeous; she bristles at any hint of
dependency on anyone or anything, but she’s also a survivor. She’s everything
Declan didn’t know he wanted. When Autumn finds herself in the middle of a
challenging bet with her ex-boyfriend - who just happens to be the arrogant
team captain that Declan hates - he feels honor bound to help her out. But he
didn’t expect to fall for her in the process.
“Behind the Pitch” reveals the most twisted and erotic thoughts in
Declan’s head as he navigates through his on again/off again, frustrating and
deeply erotic relationship with Autumn McShane.
And lordy, does he have a filthy mind.
EXCERPT:
The scar was
vicious. A red, jagged line that swept across her stomach, dipped in the center
where I thought the stitches must have been. It was fierce-looking, and the
only thing that disturbed the perfect contours of her creamy skin. Her stomach
was tight, toned, and I couldn’t help my bleeding fingers as they descended on
her skin, my hand as it rested above her hip or my thumb as it rubbed against
that scar.
I wanted to kiss
it, lick it, make this gorgeous girl see I wasn’t fussed by the mark. It was
part of her, wasn’t it? And even though I had wanted to throttle her just an
hour before, I couldn’t lie and say I hadn’t wanted her from that first chat in
her classroom. She was smart. Funny. And blimey was she fecking gorgeous.
I touched her,
my thumbnail running along that pink, angry gash and her stomach muscles
twitched and the faint, nearly translucent hairs on her stomach stood on end.
She liked that.
She liked me touching her.
Well, shite,
mate, that was excellent, wasn’t it now?
But I couldn’t
let her see that I liked it too, the touching her bit. I pulled back,
straightened, and my first thought was to show her just how marked up I was as
well.
I showed her my
shoulder, where I’d had a particularly nasty scar since I was a kid, the one
Rory McDonald gave me when he pushed me onto some broken equipment. Her face
went nearly blank, those beautiful gray eyes skimming all over my skin.
Dismissing the
way she stared at me, I showed her another one just below my belly button.
“Mickey Douglas forgot to ditch his watch during a practice match when I was
eighteen. Fecking thing nearly ripped me in half when he lined me up and
smashed me as I went for a try-scoring pass.”
Then it was my
stomach tightening, working the muscles hard as she stared. Autumn swallowed
and her full, pink lips moved as though they wouldn’t let whatever was trying
to come out her mouth, leave.
“That’s um,
yeah.”
I took a step
toward her, liking the way she stared, liking that her eyes weren’t on my scar,
but stared down at the lines in my stomach, at the thin hair above my belt. I
hoped she didn’t notice how hard I was getting. I hoped she wouldn’t see that
my body liked her eyes on my skin.

Book Blurb:
Graduate student Autumn McShane has had her share of heartbreak. She's
been abandoned and betrayed and she lost her beloved mother in a tragic car
accident five months ago. That loss damaged her body and fractured her spirit
but she's learning to recover, until her ex-boyfriend returns to town, intent
on making her life miserable.
Declan Fraser hates
her ex as much as Autumn does, but the last thing she needs is to put her trust
in the hands of another man, especially one like Declan: his hard body and
lulling Irish accent makes more than a few girls weak-kneed. The talented rugby
player is rude and sarcastic, with tattooed, muscular arms and a cocky
attitude, but he's the only one who can help Autumn win an ill-advised bet
that, if lost, could cost her more than she's willing to pay. The reluctant
alliance between Declan and Autumn stirs up cravings she doesn't want to admit,
but Declan is a hard man to resist.
Just when Autumn starts letting down her carefully constructed walls to
the sexy bad boy, he betrays her when she needs him most. Autumn suspects
Declan has secrets, and she is determined to uncover what drove him away from
her, even if that means fraternizing with the enemy. But will the truth return
Declan to her arms or add to the scars on her heart?
