The Firebird Trilogy, Book #2
Cover Designer: WICKED BY DESIGN
— SYNOPSIS —
Recovering from years of living the superstar hockey life wasn’t easy, but now Aleksandr Volynsky finally has everything…
He’s married to the love of his life, expecting a daughter, and has a new job as an assistant coach with his old team, the Buffalo Gladiators. His happiness is short lived, however, when a sexual assault allegation surfaces, and Alex is forced to cooperate with an investigation for a crime he didn’t commit.
Stephanie Hartwell is juggling her dream job with marriage and motherhood, but she’s not convinced she’s doing any of it well…
Stephanie’s stress level goes from bad to worse when she’s diagnosed with a serious illness. Battling declining health and the critics who question her commitment to Alex in light of the allegation, she makes a decision that could change their relationship forever.
Alex is afraid he’s about to lose everything—especially when he sees Stephanie’s friend kiss her…
Devastated that his life is spiraling out of control again, Alex turns to his friend, Natasha, a Russian pop star. Convinced that Stephanie and her friend Brandon are having an affair, Alex resumes his self-destructive behavior.
What Alex doesn’t know is Stephanie has been conducting a secret investigation of her own. She learns the truth behind the sexual assault—a truth no one, especially Alex, expects.
With everything now out in the open, can Stephanie and Alex commit to a fresh start for the sake of their daughter, or will the ghosts of their pasts finally tear apart everything they have left?

Firebird (The Firebird Trilogy Book 1)
Stephanie Hartwell is a journalist chasing the story of her career…
When superstar hockey player and notorious bad boy Aleksandr Volynsky is traded to the Seattle Earthquakes in a blockbuster deal, Stephanie demands the opportunity to prove herself by scoring an exclusive interview with a man with no love for the media…the same man she once thought, as a naïve teenager, she’d someday marry.
An Olympian and Stanley Cup Champion, Aleksandr has achieved every goal he’s ever set…
Now expected to carry a failing team on his shoulders, Aleksandr’s troubles deepen when he encounters Stephanie after a season-opening loss. His lifestyle of drinking and random hookups has been a futile attempt to forget the beautiful tomboy who stole his heart nine years ago. And worse, fame and fortune have made it impossible for him to trust anyone—especially Stephanie, who is engaged to another man.
Romance rekindles, but tragedy reveals Aleksandr’s dark side…
Being with Aleksandr in the first place jeopardizes Stephanie’s journalistic integrity and threatens her career, and when he spirals out of control, it reawakens fears from her own history, making her unable to commit to a future with him.
When Aleksandr discovers the truth behind his self-destructive behavior, will his newfound self-awareness be enough to convince Stephanie to give him one last chance…
Or will his revelation drive her away for good?

Interview With Jennifer Loring:
- Can you tell us a little about your books?
2. When did you know you wanted to write a book?
I've been writing since I was a child, and my first short story was published 18 years ago, so the desire has always been there. I wrote a few (bad) novels in my teens/early twenties but stuck with short fiction until I went to grad school, at which point I was forced to write a novel if I wanted my degree. :P My thesis became my first published novel.
3. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I write all my first drafts longhand, and my favorite spot for that is usually on the couch. I do have an office where I write all subsequent drafts. Occasionally I like going to a local coffee shop just to get out of the house.
4. What is a usual writing day like for you, how is it structured?
I go to the gym three times a week, so if it's a workout day, I get that out of the way first. Then, if there's promo/marketing that needs to be tended to immediately, I tackle that. I usually balance two projects at once. If I'm on the second or higher draft of something--or edits have come back--I'm in my office in the morning, and after lunch I work on whatever first-draft project I have going. I'm a workaholic, so I'll easily keep writing until 10 pm (when I typically go to bed). I've tried to cut back in order to spend more time with my husband and dogs.
5. For a reader who hasn't read your books yet, which book do you suggest they start with?
It depends on what genre they're interested in. If it's romance, Firebird was my first novel in that genre and the first in the series. If it's horror, I'd recommend my novella Conduits.
6. What's one random fact about yourself that you can share?
I was raised on a Native American reservation in Western New York.
7. If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
Good question (and appropriate, as you'll see below...). Being invisible and/or able to fly would be kind of cool. And super-strength would definitely come in handy!
8. What writing projects are you currently working on?
The big project right now is Firebird Book 3, which is in second-draft stage. I'm also writing a hockey-themed romance short story for an anthology, and plotting a science fiction romance novel about superheroes. I might try to squeeze in a short story for another anthology before the end of the year, but I have two novellas coming out on top of it all, so we'll see if time permits...
