USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Norinne believes every great love story should bring the heat and make you swoon.

After earning a degree in journalism, Rebecca moved back to California, where she worked in technology public relations and corporate communications. After 12 years of writing press releases and bylined articles with other people listed as the author, she quit to fulfill her dream of writing romance full time.

Now, when she’s not banging away at the keyboard, you can find her cheering on her favorite Irish rugby team, playing board games, trying new recipes, or planning her next vacation.

Rebecca currently lives near Boston in a house built in the 1700s with her wonderful husband and two adorable cats. And yes, there is a ghost. If you want to know more, click here.

In My Cowboy Romance Era

He was my first love, and my biggest regret. Now I’m his son’s new teacher.

I swore I’d never return to Bridger Falls. Just like I swore I’d never fall for Jake Mercer again. But one look at the handsome single dad and every rule I made for myself flies right out the window.

Now we’re stuck working side by side on the school’s biggest fundraiser, and the harder I try to ignore my feelings, the more the past comes roaring back.

Our chemistry is off the charts. Our history is a ticking time bomb … and every time he’s near, my body remembers exactly what it felt like to be his.

I moved back to rebuild my life, not to risk my heart all over again. So why can’t I resist the gruff, brooding cowboy?

A decade ago, I asked her to be my wife. She chose a different life instead.

Eden James, back in Bridger Falls? I didn’t think she had the nerve. Not after the way she left me. I’ve had ten years to forget her. It wasn’t enough.

But with just one look at her, all that bitterness I’ve held onto starts to unravel. I don’t do complicated, and I certainly don’t do love. But this woman? She makes me want both.

When I get stuck working with her on a school fundraiser, I try to pretend I’m not affected by her, that she no longer has power over me.

Only our past refuses to stay buried. Our chemistry’s too damn strong. And every moment I spend with her makes me forget how I ever convinced myself she isn’t the woman for me.

I might be grumpy, but I’m not stupid. I’ve been given a second shot at forever, and I’m not going to mess this up.

On Thin Ice

I’ve spent fifteen years in the NHL hiding who I really am. One more season—head down, mouth shut, and lies firmly in place—and I can retire with my secret intact. Then Stryker Bell skates into my life.

He’s got hands of gold, a mouth made for sin, and a body that moves like a promise. Ten years younger, he’s cocky, reckless, and everything I shouldn’t want. He’s my problem. My obsession. My undoing.

We clash from the start. But no matter how hard I try to keep my distance, Bell doesn’t back off. He crowds my space. Smirks like he knows exactly what I’m thinking. Every glance feels like foreplay. Every brush of contact, a dare.

And after a brutal loss on the road, I break. One raw, desperate moment, and I’ve got him pinned to the wall, my mouth on his like I’ve been starving for a taste.

Now I’m playing the most dangerous game of my career—falling for the rookie who makes me feel more alive than I ever have, while battling trauma I’ve buried so deep I almost believed it was gone.

I want him, but those old demons don’t let go easy. They’ve got their hands around my throat, whispering every lie I’ve ever believed about what it would cost to be open.

But if I don’t fight for Bell, I won’t just retire in the closet—I’ll lose the only man who’s ever made me want to step out into the light.

What People Are Saying

Rebecca's "comeback" to sports romance is Stanley Cup worthy with this amazing M/M romance between Ethan and Bell. Angsty. On Thin Ice is a MUST READ.

I am loving that Rebecca is writing sports romance again. I'm a massive fan of her rugby series, so I was really excited for this one and I was not disappointed.

River Hill is an amazing series: the stories are well written, easy to read, and smooth, with a fun vibe. I like the characters, their friendship, and innate sensuality.
