SIX days left until CAGE!!! 💛🩵💛🩵💛 My insides squee SIX days left until CAGE!!! 💛🩵💛🩵💛
My insides squeeze at the mention of his name. 
Owen Stone is the newest member of the Champions, a forward who moved up from the minor leagues at the end of last season. 
He’s older than most of the other guys, but he still has that killer, hockey-player bod. He also has shaggy dark hair, a square jaw, and blue eyes that make my stomach dip… 
Not that I’m looking for a love connection at all. 
I learned the hard way that Frenchie from the classic, blockbuster movie-musical Grease is right: “The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.”
My dad, Garrett Bradford, happens to be the best dad in the whole wide world, and it’ll take a lot for me to get back on the romance merry-go-round after Baxter the love-bomber ghosted me and broke my heart. Talk about amoebas on fleas on rats.
Owen Stone might make my insides ignite, but I am not getting involved with a hockey player, not even a soft-spoken single dad from small-town South Carolina… who has a gorgeous bloodhound and a killer smile.
He’s our temporary roommate while he looks for his own place to live, which means he’s occupying Gavin’s old room. It’s down the hall from mine, and I am keeping things strictly platonic during what I expect will be a brief stay.
CAGE is just a WEEK AWAY!!! Are you excited??? Int CAGE is just a WEEK AWAY!!! Are you excited???
Introducing Owen and Gina, our heroes... lol!!! These two have chemistry off the charts. What's the worst that could happen... LOL! Who are you excited to get to know better?
LUCKY 13 DAYS until CAGE release!!! 🩵💛🩵 I’m lost i LUCKY 13 DAYS until CAGE release!!! 🩵💛🩵
I’m lost in thought, distracted by intrusive thoughts of Owen Stone’s take-no-prisoners blue eyes, the way his full lips press together over straight white teeth when he smiles, that ridiculously cute dimple in his cheek… I don’t even notice my surroundings have changed. 
  Loud noises approach from the outside. It’s a mixture of male shouts and a dog baying. The door to my studio flies open just as I’m bringing the clippers around the top of Spanky’s hipbone.
 A loud Rooo! echoes in the crisp tile room just before a massive, copper-colored dog bounds straight into my workspace.
 “Oh!” Haddy cries. “Ladybird, NO!” 
  Spanky lifts his front legs, ready to jump and play just as Owen’s bloodhound does the same, and the clippers in my hand go flying across the back of my show dog’s rear like a lawn mower.
 “Nooo!” I fall back on my butt, as Ladybird bounds over to jump on me.
 I’m covered in big, slobbery dog-body. The clippers land with a smack in the back corner of the grooming area, still buzzing. 
 “Ladybird!” Owen's deep voice cuts through the chaos, and two massive male bodies rush into my tiny workspace.
 Spanky jumps around as much as he can with the short leash holding him in place, and the two dogs rise on their back legs, brushing their noses together with their mouths open in a typical big-dog greeting. Owen hasn’t been here a week, but our dogs are already inseparable. 
 “Oh, no…” Haddy’s hands are over her mouth. 
  I don’t want to look. I know what I’m going to see. 
  Forcing a swallow, I quietly ask, “How bad is it?” 
  My green eyes meet my cousin’s bright blue ones, and as much as I love dogs, as much as they’re all good dogs, her dismay tests my resolve. 
 “You buzzed his butt,” my cousin Mav observes drily.

Gigi Bradford is a champion dog breeder, groomer, and trainer, and if there's one thing she knows for sure, dogs are better than men. Owen Stone is the newest member of the LA Champions hockey team, a single dad, bloodhound owner, and he's learned hockey is safer than love--by a longshot. Until his psychic sister says the girl of his dreams is holding a dog, and his new friend Maverick Bradford invites him to be his temporary roommate...

Cage is a hockey romance with a broody single dad, a STEM FMC obsessed with dogs/not love, close proximity, roommates to lovers, close proximity, a vow of "just once," family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.

Read PINCH Now!!! 💜🖤🤍 “My dad said I should be her Read PINCH Now!!! 💜🖤🤍
“My dad said I should be here with you, so I came.”

She stops in her tracks, turning to face me. “You told your dad about us?”

“Yes, and no.” I tilt my head side to side, but I can see she’s worried. “I told him we knew each other from college, and I had strong feelings for you. He said in that case I should be here, with you, and I decided he was right.” 

Her chin drops. “You have strong feelings for me?” 

“You know I do. I haven’t tried to hide it.” 

She starts to walk again. I follow her, and we take several steps in silence, the only sound the shushing of the tiny ripples on the water. 

“I’m glad you’re here.” Her voice is quiet. “I’ve been thinking about all of this so much, trying to understand how it happened. Based on where I was in my cycle, I should not have gotten pregnant when we were together… but there have been studies that show females will ovulate if they’re aroused by a suitable male.” 

Her scientific approach is too much. “Are you saying I make you ovulate, Princess?” 

She looks up at me, wrinkling her nose. “I think it’s possible. I would never have disregarded common sense like that if I hadn’t been significantly aroused.”

“I was pretty hørny for you, too…”
