ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 1, 2025

Steele Sanderson has always been my safe place.
My best friend.
My constant.
My person.
So when I walk in on my boyfriend—who also happens to be my boss—screwing a colleague on his desk, it’s Steele who picks up the pieces.

Now I’m living in his penthouse, crashing in his guest room, and working as his assistant while I figure out what’s next. Every day, I tell myself this is temporary. That just because he looks at me like I already belong to him doesn’t mean I actually do.

Except… Steele doesn’t see it that way.
To him, I’ve always been his.
The only one he’s ever wanted.
The only one he’s ever loved.
He’s protective.
Possessive.
And done waiting.

I keep telling myself that crossing the line could ruin everything—that risking our friendship isn’t worth it. But when he offers a friends-with-benefits arrangement, promising to give me everything I’ve secretly craved, how can I possibly say no?
It doesn’t take long for the lines between us to blur.

Now I have to decide—keep pretending nothing’s changed or finally give in to the man who’s been right in front of me all along.

•••••

REVIEW: MAKE ME YOURS is the first instalment in Jennifer Sucevic’s contemporary, adult CHICAGO RAILERS HOCKEY erotic, hockey romance series, a spin off from the author’s WESTERN WILDCATS HOCKEY. This is professional hockey player Steele Sanderson, and attorney Lilah Monroe’s story line. Some of the characters from the Western Wildcats Hockey cross over for backstory and cohesion.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lilah and Steele) MAKE ME YOURS follows in the aftermath of attorney Lilah Monroe discovering her fiance’s affair with a fellow attorney. Distraught, jobless and now homeless, Lilah finds herself searching for her best friend, professional hockey player Steele Sanderson, who will offer her everything and more. Steele Sanderson has always been Lilah Monroe’s anchor and our hero is hoping for something more but Lilah must come to terms with what happened and why, seeking a new direction including a change in career, and a new life with the man who is her rock and support.

The world building focuses on Steele Sanderson’s career, as we are up close and personal with the team dynamics, friendships and off-ice interactions. Lilah’s tight knit group of friends are struggling with their own betrayals, and the possibility of new heart aches and new loves.

The relationship between Lilah and Steele is a best friends to lovers. Steele has been in love with Lilah since freshman year at college but never crossed the line fearing a loss of friendship and support. Lilah has always loved our story line hero but has been oblivious to Steele’s need and desire for the woman that calls to his heart. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense with a few spanking scenarios.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic, colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced or re-introduced café owner and single mother Callie and her daughter Nora, part-owners of the Chicago Railers and Lilah’s aunt Evelyn and Hugh Landry; players River Thompson, Knox McNichols, Zane; Lilah’s supportive friends Rina and Sloane.

MAKE ME YOURS is a story of betrayal and heartbreak, friendships and family, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is emotional, captivating and dramatic; the romance is seductive and edgy; the characters are sassy, determined and charismatic.
