Behind the Bench (In the Game Hockey Romance, Book 2)
Dr. Danni Angelo is the team physician for the Clarington
Quakes hockey team. She’s worked hard to earn the players’ respect, but the new
coach, Trey Mason, is stirring things up, and Danni’s worried her job may be in
jeopardy.
Trey finds Danni…distracting. Beauty, brains, and sexy moves
on the ice have him uncomfortably attracted. He’s the new guy on the block. He
has a reputation to build and a standard to set. The last thing he needs is a
complication.
When the team spirals out of control and Danni and Trey get
caught up in a drug scandal, things heat up on and off the ice. It’s a whole
new game plan…Behind the Bench.
Excerpt:
Author Spotlight Interview:
About the Author:
Danni watched the tail end of the in-house broadcast of the
news conference and flicked off the screen. How could you not be impressed with
that? Trey Mason was confident and eloquent, and spoke in a relaxed and
engaging way. The beach-bum blond hair, sculpted cheekbones, and easy smile
would win over the non-hockey fans, and his passion and knowledge of the game
would impress the followers. He had it all, and landing in a town like
Clarington must be a dream come true. For him.
And a nightmare for her.
She had worked part-time as the team physician for the
Clarington Earthquakes, Quakes for short, for the past three years. It had
taken time to gain the players’ confidence. Being a female physician for a
men’s hockey team hadn’t been easy, but she’d built a solid professional
relationship.
She loved everything about the job – the energy of the
games, working with high-level athletes, and a new clinic in a state-of-the-art
arena. She certainly didn’t want it to change because of a new head coach.
Trey Mason couldn’t fire her. Theoretically. That would be
up to the owners of the team. He could, however, make her life miserable. And
if there was friction between them, it would affect the players, and
ultimately, what affected the players influenced the owners. There were two
other physicians who shared the job with her and a few more who would be eager
to take it on.
He, on the other hand, could be set for a long run if he
delivered half of what he’d promised today. She certainly hadn’t seen any charm
when he’d walked into the pressroom, and yet it came out in spades when he
spoke. She could only hope that her initial impression had been wrong, because
between the two of them, it wasn’t likely that he’d be leaving any time soon.
Bottom line – she needed to suck it up and get along with the new guy. She
sighed. She hated sucking up. She’d thought she was done with that. Apparently
not. She shook her head and gritted her teeth. Time to smile and play nice.
Author Spotlight Interview:
Hi, I’m Linda O’Connor, and I’m very excited to bring a
Canadian flare to the Coming in Hot: Rescue Me boxed set. I’m from Ontario,
Canada, and I’ve written a hockey medical romance. I don’t have a lot of
experience playing hockey, but I have three sons – and I’ve spent a lot of time
watching it. :D
Why do you write romance novels?
I’m a physician, and I
started writing because I wanted to find a fun way to disseminate medical
information and to educate and empower readers to take ownership of their
health. Targeting a female audience with romance novels seemed like a good idea
because women are usually the ones who see a doctor. (Males typically only go
when a girlfriend/partner/spouse/mom encourages them to do so. :D) I write
romantic comedies because I love being in a fun headspace when I’m writing. I
think laughter is essential to great health!
What is one of your favorite things about writing?
My favorite thing about writing is creating the storyline
and figuring out how I’m going to make things happen - with humor and a bit of
the unexpected thrown in.
When you're brainstorming for a new story, what usually
comes first for you, the plot or the characters?
The characters. And I can’t start writing until I’ve nailed
down the characters’ names. The male names are the hardest because I have 3
sons, and they have a lot of friends. The name can’t remind me of anyone I know.
Where do you find inspiration for your stories?
Everywhere! News stories, headlines, snippets of
conversations I hear, lyrics of songs, watching people and putting a story
behind their body language or expression – they all inspire my imagination.
What is your favorite quote?
It ain’t no use putting up your
umbrella till it rains. Alice Caldwell Rice
So simple, but excellent advice for all those worry-worts –
don’t be worrying about something that may not happen!
Name two things people don’t know about you?
I don’t drink
coffee. I make earrings as a hobby (it’s handy for gifts!).
Describe your ‘perfect’ writing day.
Get up. Eat breakfast. Write until noon with a Skittle break
at 10:30 a.m. Eat lunch. Write until 3 p.m. and get 4000 sublime,
no-need-to-edit words done. Go for a bicycle ride. Swim. Share a healthy dinner
with my family that someone else has cooked. Go to Zumba. Shower. Spend the
evening at book club with my friends. Sleep and dream of the next chapter
before waking completely refreshed. Haha.
Tell us about your other books?
I’ve written six novels in the Perfectly Series – medical
romantic comedies in small towns – and the sixth one was going to be the final
one, BUT haha, I joined other authors in a couple of boxed sets and wrote two
Perfectly Series novellas to include. Behind the Bench is the second book in my
new medical hockey romance series. I’m excited to start a new series – and
what’s more Canadian than hockey!
Linda O’Connor started writing a few years ago when she
needed a creative outlet other than subtly rearranging the displays at the
local home décor store. It turns out she loves writing romantic comedies and
has a few more stories to tell. When not writing, she’s a physician at an
Urgent Care Clinic (well, even when she is writing she’s a physician, and it
shows up in her stories. She hangs out at www.lindaoconnor.net.
