Join us for a signing with author Leslie Cohen and former New York Ranger Sean Avery!

A summer vacation that heats up with a forbidden attraction strong enough to burn their neighboring Hamptons houses to the ground.

Summer has begun on the East End of Long Island and bestselling author Jessica Riley finds herself unable to deliver on her highly anticipated second book. Her children are demanding. Her husband is preoccupied. With a deadline looming, she fakes a mental breakdown to get away . . . only to find that the house next door is filled with rowdy hockey players.

One of those players is Carter Hughes, a soon-to-be rookie on the New York Rangers, and in Carter and his friends, Jessica discovers a treasure trove of material for her next book. But she quickly finds herself in over her head, as her connection with Carter spirals out of control and his behavior becomes more erratic. Meanwhile, as Carter mixes with the power scene in the Hamptons, one false move could turn what was supposed to be a summer of training and good times into a game he can’t afford to play.

Sexy and addictive, Summer Skate is the sun on your skin in a string bikini. It’s the sound of skates cutting across the ice of a hockey rink, chasing victory. It’s an answer to the question: How bad do you want it?

ABOUT LESLIE COHEN

Leslie Cohen was born and raised in New York. She studied English and creative writing at Columbia University. Inspired by a combination of Jack Kerouac, James Joyce and Sex and the City, she composed many brooding personal essays that she hopes nobody remembers. Her first job was at a magazine called Outdoor Life, where she wrote about hunting and fishing, even though she knew very little about either. While working there, she received an unlimited supply of beef jerky and camouflaged clothing, which didn’t really suit her Manhattan lifestyle. So she moved to Colorado and penned a weekly music column for the Aspen Daily News, which was widely read, despite only occasionally referencing the subject of music. Upon returning to New York, she began writing fiction. She is the author of This Love Story Will Self-Destruct and My Ride or Die. She lives on the Upper West Side with her husband and two children.
