About Shootout Save
Renegades 6 - Shootout Save (Can be
read as a standalone)
Is it true that love overcomes all?
He was one of the star goalies on
the Renegades, best buddies with Dom Zanetti - also a goalie, he was carefree
and always smiling.
She was Hailee’s best friend, an ice
skating instructor in her spare time and owner of a pet salon. She worked hard
for what she wanted out of life, she earned her own way in life.
Kaden O’Conner and Alison Bishop met
by chance when Dom was still trying to woo Hailee back. They’ve been hot and
heavy ever since. Exclusive without ever actually saying they were exclusive,
but every second of their romance was pure fun. Kaden was never a one-woman
kind of guy, but there was something about being with Ali that had him sure he
didn’t want anyone else.
Reality catches up with them and
drops a bombshell in their lap. Ali chooses to handle it with poise and grace,
or like a boss, as she says. Kaden doesn’t. On the heels of their lives being
turned upside down, Kaden’s life takes another hit, and it inadvertently
becomes his major focus.
After everything working to keep
them apart, were they still meant to be together? Can they reconcile and deal
with their life changing issue as a couple?

Exclusive Excerpt
Coach
Walker blew the whistle loudly and tapped a stick on the boards as he skated
around to center ice. “Zanetti! Looking good. O’Conner – are you sleep walking
out here? Get your ass in gear or ride the bench! Morris, partner with Luc, and
Kris, you partner with Hall.”
Kaden stood
at his net, sprayed water on his face and then into his mouth. His eyes stung
from the sweat dripping into them and his muscles ached. Coach was right, he
was moving in slow motion today. He had no one to blame but himself. His legs
were fatigued from so much off-ice activity the last few days.
“Laps!”
Coach blew the whistle
Ugh, Kaden
groaned. I need to focus a little more on taking care of myself and a little
less on getting laid. This shit isn’t working. He wondered if it was possible
to just sleep next to Ali sometimes. He’d rather try then not be beside her at
all. An empty bed was cold and lonely and not something he looked forward to.
“C’mon
O’Conner! Laps mean you too.” Coach beckoned.
Kaden
joined the line circling around the outside of the rink, falling to the back of
it with Dom. It wasn’t easy to skate laps with all the heavy goalie equipment
on, but speed wasn’t a concern. You just had to do it.
“I hate
these fucking laps.” Dom grumbled through his mask.
“I know. If
I took these pads off, I’d run circles around these fools.” Kaden teased.
“Hey, who
you calling a fool?” Tyler surprised him from behind, giving him a soft tap on
his leg pad with his stick.
“You up for
lunch after this, K?” Dom asked.
“Sure, if I
survive!”
“Bunnies
keeping you up at night again, Kaden?” Harrison, one of the younger guys
commented smugly as he skated by.
“Hey, watch
your mouth!” Kaden snapped. Ali was not a bunny. And for the first time in his
life, he didn’t want the guys to get the wrong idea.
“Relax
hot-shot, your rep proceeds you, so I just thought…” The young player shrugged
and offered a weak form of regret before taking off to race one of the other
guys.
“Ali isn’t
a bunny.” He grunted, sure his comment disappeared into his mask.
“Ignore
them, Kaden. Those young guys are new to this. They don’t know anything about
you and Ali. And they don’t know when to keep their mouth shut.” Dom rounded
the end of the rink with Kaden following behind. They joined the other guys at
the bench and took a breather.
Kaden
turned and was face to face with Harrison who made the ‘bunny’ comment. “Look,
O’Conner, I didn’t mean nothin’ by that comment. I just thought, I mean, I’ve
heard the stories and seen the pics…”
“I really
don’t care what you meant. And I really don’t give a shit what you’ve seen. I’m
done with bunnies. Got it? And it’s none of your damn business anyway.” He
wanted to say more, defend Ali’s honor or something, but practice continued.
“Line up,
ladies! Scrimmage time.” Coach blew the whistle and the team dispersed.
As much as
he tried to ignore the comments from Harrison, they got to him. The younger
guys avoided him as much as possible the rest of the morning, which was for the
best. According to the rumor mill, Kaden had a temper, they obviously heard
that about him too. Damn rumor mill was going to cause him issue someday, but
not today. He was just happy the young-guns were backing off.

About Melody
Melody was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she lives with her husband, and son. She’s a dog lover and recently losing her two 15yr old girls (dogs) they adopted a new puppy, in addition to a cat. After years of begging for a cat, she finally let her son adopt a kitten (even though she’s allergic!) The cat is definitely a “mama’s boy”. A house just isn’t a home without pets.
The whole family are avid Pittsburgh Penguins fans and like going to hockey games when they get the chance. Having met some of the players has fueled her interest in writing about them and creating wonderful stories.
Melody has loved writing since she was young, in school she never met a creative writing assignment that she didn't love. She is lucky enough to have a wonderful husband who encourages her to write. When she was laid off from her job of 14 years, he was supportive about letting her stay home and just be a mom. During that time, she discovered hockey-romances and found a renewed love of reading as well as a passion for writing.
She spends her spare time reading hockey romances. At holiday time she really enjoys any romance about Christmas, and Hallmark movies on tv. When it is the hockey off-season, she enjoys swimming and spending her days out in the sun with her family.
Basically if she’s not writing or reading, then she’s doing something that has to do with hockey!
