Wild Card

The game has rules for a reason…

Rumors swirled around the Rake Forge University campus about a scandalous game played by none other than the Devil’s baseball team.

Honestly, I didn’t care.

Not my business, but when my editor takes away my chance to be featured in the senior showcase, and my little sister gets a mysterious playing card; a devious idea emerged.

I decided I’d sneak into the party, and scoop the story.
I would not get caught, definitely not seduced, and absolutely wouldn’t die.

That is until I was stopped and rendered totally speechless by a pair of mossy eyes, and a jawline so divine that I nearly melted into goo right in some stranger’s room.

He lured me in, close enough to feel the press of his mouth against my skin and the heat of his hands on my body. Undoubtedly, I was a sheep headed straight for the slaughter, which only proved true when he called my bluff.

With him holding all the cards for my future success, and to salvage what remained of my dream, I did the only thing I could.

I made a deal with a devil.

*While this book is very angsty, there is no cheating and it is cliffhanger free.*

One Look

I’m a full time single dad. A former NFL player turned coach, tasked with turning around a college team full of kids who either don’t take it seriously or are determined to get injured. I will absolutely not be falling for my new neighbor.

Lark Butler is pure chaos wrapped in gorgeous, infuriating sunshine. She showed up out of nowhere––getting paid to cry at a funeral, no less. Who does that? But somewhere between offering her condolences and crawling out of a literal grave site, we’ve found ourselves tangled in the drama of Outtatowner, Michigan–my coastal hometown with a decades-old feud and two aunties determined to end it.

I’m finally putting down roots so my daughter has a normal life and I need to forget about Lark. Forget the way it felt the night we kissed or what it’s like to finally take something just for me. But when those sparks ignited, it was more intense than either of us bargained for.

Trouble is, I can’t trust her, and she never stays.

She’s burning my carefully laid plans to the ground and all it took was one look.

A Very Bossy Billionaire

“I’m the boss.” Those are the last three words I wanted to hear from a stranger I stood up on a second date without the courtesy of a call…

In the land of the size zero supermodel, as a plus size woman, I don’t often catch the attention of a man that makes my toes curl.

To add to the decadent encounter, the illegally hot stranger with a sexy British accent and dreamy hazel brown eyes wants to see me again.

Finally, finally, I get to break my one-time coffee date curse.

Standing up Mr. Suit on our second date is the biggest Shakespearean tragedy ever. I didn’t mean to be a no-show. It was out of my control. Losing my phone was the nail in my coffin.

A week later, arriving at my new job and coming face to face with him, counts as one of the worst days of my life… that’s until I discover he’s the boss.

Turns out, my boss doesn’t appreciate being stood up without the courtesy of a call or a text. And boy, the man holds a grudge.

Mr. Suit is determined to make me pay.
