ONE NIGHT ONLY by Shann McPherson is AVAILABLE NOW
Blurb:
A spicy, forbidden romance where she’s older and he’s OBSESSED.
Dallas Shaw is a “no strings” kind of guy. Voted NHL’s sexiest goalie two years in a row, he’s the league’s biggest playboy—a reputation he maintains with pride.
But when a pretty blonde crashes into his life like an adorable wrecking ball, what was supposed to be a one night stand turns Dallas’ whole world upside down. When he wakes up alone the morning after, he’s left with nothing but her sweet scent on his pillow and a serious case of longing he’s never felt before.
A month later, fate brings Dallas’ dream girl back into his life. And he’s determined to win her over. The only problem? She’s his agent’s new executive assistant, and her employment contract definitely included a pesky non-fraternization clause.
Emily Cole, the beautiful woman with honey eyes and hidden scars, unknowingly has Dallas’ heart in the palm of her hand. He can’t stay away from her, no matter how hard she tries to push him away or how many times she reminds him that she’s almost 10 years his senior. For the first time in his life, Dallas Shaw is down bad.
Now, all he has to do is convince Emily that he’s worth the risk. That he’s no longer the infamous playboy with a roster of women in every city he’s ever played. And, most importantly, that he’ll never hurt her the way she’s been hurt before.
It was supposed to be just one night. One night only. But what if the one night stand is the one?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
This book was amazing! One Night Only is the first book I’ve read by Shann McPherson, and I will definitely be checking out more.
Dallas is the playboy goalie for the NY Thunder hockey team. Emily is the smart older woman he saved from an awkward blind date. They shared what was supposed to be one night only, and then Emily snuck out of his apartment, never expecting to see him again. But their paths cross again several weeks later when it turns out that Emily is the executive assistant to Dallas’ sports agent.
It’s clear that they have a sizzling connection, but Emily’s company strictly prohibits employees from dating athletes. She has so much more to lose than Dallas, so at first, she doesn’t give much thought to the notorious playboy, nine years her junior. Eventually, Dallas wears her down — and despite these two not seeming to have much in common, they balance each other perfectly.
Reformed playboys who fall head over heels in love are always a favorite of mine to read, and Dallas was absolutely smitten with Emily from the start. I really saw the transformation in him from the guy who had a puck bunny lined up in every city to the man who adored and worshipped the woman in his life. He was so patient and loving with Emily, which is exactly what she needed as she tried to rebuild her life post-cancer and after her engagement ended. The tenderness between these two was so well-written, and I thought that McPherson did a phenomenal job in penning Emily’s journey of healing and finding love again.
I can’t wait to see what is going on with Dallas’ sister Millie, and his teammate, Logan!
