Kate Meader | Five Things You Don’t Know About Chicago
August 15, 2017
Millennium Park’s Hidden Garden is a hidden gem. Separated from the city
bustle by a 15-foot-high hedge of conifers and trees, the Lurie Garden is the perfect spot for
sneaking in a few chapters of your favorite book or meeting your summertime fling.
The best cupcakes are from Sweet Mandy B’s. This is a fact. (And in 1930, the Twinkie
was invented in Chicago. This is also a fact.)
The Chicago River flows backwards. In the late 19th century, the river was
reversed to empty into the Mississippi River instead of Lake Michigan, so all
the garbage wouldn’t contaminate the lake—source of the city’s drinking
water.
Chicago banned paying public toilets in 1973. So all public restrooms are
free – now good luck finding one!
theWit has a Rooftop bar and it’s amazing. You can check it out in winter
(curl up by the fireplace) or summer (look at those views!). Hanging out here
one night with author Abby Green, I was struck by an idea: two people have a
sexy dalliance on adjoining hotel balconies in the dark. No names, no faces, no
touching—each other. And so IN SKATES TROUBLE, the
Chicago Rebels prequel novella was born.
Hot in Chicago series author Kate Meader returns with her all new, scorching
Chicago Rebels hockey series, featuring her signature “steamy sex scenes,
colorful characters, and riveting dialogue” (Romantic Times). Three
estranged sisters inherit their late father’s failing hockey franchise and are
forced to confront a man’s world, their family’s demons, and the battle-hardened
ice warriors skating into their hearts.
Harper Chase has just become the most powerful woman in the NHL after the
death of her father Clifford Chase, maverick owner of the Chicago Rebels. But
the team is a hot mess—underfunded, overweight, and close to tapping out of the
league. Hell-bent on turning the luckless franchise around, Harper won’t let
anything stand in her way. Not her gender, not her sisters, and especially not a
veteran player with an attitude problem and a smoldering gaze designed to melt
her ice-compacted defenses.
Veteran center Remy “Jinx” DuPre is on the downside of a career that’s seen
him win big sponsorships, fans’ hearts, and more than a few notches on his
stick. Only one goal has eluded him: the Stanley Cup. Sure, he’s been labeled as
the unluckiest guy in the league, but with his recent streak of good play, he
knows this is his year. So why the hell is he being shunted off to a failing
hockey franchise run by a ball-buster in heels? And is she seriously expecting
him to lead her band of misfit losers to a coveted spot in the playoffs?
He’d have a better chance of leading Harper on a merry skate to his bed…

Originally from Ireland, Kate cut her romance reader teeth on Maeve Binchy
and Jilly Cooper novels, with some Mills & Boon thrown in for variety. Give her
tales about brooding mill owners, oversexed equestrians, and men who can rock an
apron or a fire hose, and she’s there. Now based in Chicago, she writes sexy
contemporary romance with alpha heroes and strong heroines who can match their
men quip for quip.
