About
RAFE:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Sawyer Bennett comes a new story in her Arizona Vengeance
series…
I was living my dream until one phone call changed everything.
As the second line center for the Arizona Vengeance, my mind has
been on one thing—helping my team bring home a championship. But that all
changed when I found out my dad had cancer and only months to live. In that
moment, nothing mattered more than getting home to North Carolina to be by his
side. That meant asking for the unthinkable—a trade to the Carolina Cold Fury.
Now I’m
home and when I’m
not on the ice with my new team, I’m helping care for my dad. And in the midst of my grief,
I find comfort from the one person I never expected.
Calliope Ramirez stole my heart at a very young age. The
beautiful, smart, headstrong girl next door, she was my first… everything. She
has never forgiven me for leaving her, believing that I chose hockey over a
future together. What she doesn’t understand is that every decision I made was for her,
and I’ve
never given up hope that one day we’d be together again.
Watching my dad slip away is a harsh reminder of how short life
can be, and having Calliope by my side makes me realize I was a damn fool
before. That changes starting right now. Calliope Ramirez is mine and I’m not going
to waste the second chance that I’ve been given.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new
readers, it’s
an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series.
We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt:
“You
look like a fairy sea princess,” I tell her truthfully.
She blinks, waterdrops fall.
I
can’t
help it... I start laughing.
Immediately, I snap my mouth shut and bite down hard on
my tongue. “I’m sorry.”
Calliope blinks again and then her lips
part.
Her
beautiful eyes narrow on me, and the next thing I know, she’s sending a wave of nasty pond
water right at me. It catches me full in the face, hits the back of my throat,
and I choke on it. I deserve it.
When I clear my eyes, Calliope is bent over, laughing
hysterically, her shoulder dipping down into the water. The sound of her
lilting voice is music to my ears, and I don’t want it to stop.
I
splash a wall of water back at her. She sputters and looks stunned for only a
moment before her palms slap at the pond’s surface, and I’m caught full in the face again.
We
both go at each other, laughing and splashing. Calliope comes up to her knees.
She wobbles in the sucking mud but gets better leverage on me. I’m entirely doused by wave after
wave. I hold up my arms, trying to protect myself, and suddenly realize I need
to go more on the offensive.
I
lurch up, lunge at her, and grab her wrists to stop the inundation. She’s laughing
so hard she barely has any strength left to fight against me. Her face is
flushed despite the chill, and I can’t fucking help myself.
I
crash my mouth down on hers, feel her freeze in shock for a moment, and then
gobble down the sultry groan that warbles out of her. It heats me to my bones,
and then we’re
clawing at each other.
Grabbing, fisting clothing, attacking each other with
our mouths. My hands make their way back to her face, intent on holding her
still so I can consume everything she has to offer.
The kiss is atomic, off-the-charts hot, and filled with
so much emotion I don’t know whether she’s coming at me with hate or something else.
Then something comes over me...a calm that feels like a
steadying hand. I slow myself, make an exploring and leisurely swipe of my
tongue against hers, and she melts into my body. An arm around her waist, I
pull both of us to a standing position, the water lapping at my lower legs. I
haul her into me and kiss her with all the regret I’ve been carrying around in my soul
for years—a sincere apology.
BOOK TRAILER
“Each time I
read a new book in this series, I have a new favourite, they just keep getting
better and better. This was an entertaining read that I thoroughly enjoyed.”
~ Erin, MI
Bookshelf
"Is it
weird that I want to give this book a standing ovation?
It was just...so perfectly done. So beautifully written and so
emotionally fulfilling. It was absolutely everything I was hoping for and my
heart is overflowing with feels." ~
Shelly, Bookgasms Book
Blog
"This series is by far eclipsing any other I have read by this
author. This is the story of Dax and Regan. Brother's best friend, friends to
lovers, hockey romance, and just a great read about two people who deserve to
be happy together. " ~ Suzi, Obsessive Reading
Disorder
“The writing was observantly
insightful and sneakily emotive. . . . The storylines were briskly paced, well
plotted, written with my favorite dual POV, and kept me continually entertained
with a pleasantly engaging romance while also tickling my curiosity as I waited
for the looming threat to arise.”—Books and
Bindings
“Add together an incredibly sexy
story and a swoon-worthy hero with the intensity of a hockey player and you
have an absolute winner. Sawyer Bennett has long been an instant one-click
author for me, and Erik’s story is a fantastic addition to the Arizona Vengeance
series.”—Stacey Lynn, author of Knocked
Up
“Forbidden fruit always tastes
better! With the kick off of a new hockey series, Sawyer Bennett introduces us
to the Arizona Vengeance team and brings us Bishop’s story. The characters are quick
to grab attention, and keep us entertained throughout.”—Thoughts of a
Blonde
About SAWYER

Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of
which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal
bestseller lists.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real
life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array

believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great
work-out, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S.
Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.
