Guts & Glory: Brick
Summary
No one would ever expect what haunted him because he hid it so well.... As a former Navy SEAL sniper, Brick has faced his share of intense situations, but nothing could have prepared him for his latest assignment. The king of hookups, going undercover with a ring on his left finger may as well be a noose around his neck. If that’s not enough, he’s paired with a whirlwind of a woman who’s as outspoken as she is curvy. Fresh off the heels of a life-changing breakup, Londyn crashes at her sister’s house. To prevent knocking heads with her future brother-in-law, Mercy, she jumps at the opportunity to take the undercover job that has her “playing house” with the notorious playboy of the Shadows crew. His laid-back personality, coupled with stunning good looks, should make this a walk in the park. If they weren’t trying to catch a murderer. Brick, however, is unprepared for the intimacy that comes with living as a married couple and soon the lines between real life and assignment begin to blur. But beneath his easygoing smile there’s a secret he hides from the world. One he’s not sure he’s willing to let it come to light. Note: Brick is the sixth book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to listen to both series in order, each book can be heard as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

It was supposed to be just another event, except it took a turn I didn’t see coming. Evelyn Attending my best friend’s bachelorette party isn’t something I was looking forward to, but it’s strange what a couple of glasses of wine will do. It was one night, and I thought I would never see him again - especially not coming face-to-face with him and his wife while picking up my nephew from hockey practice.

Big Shot
Summary
Jace Bennett is the kind of man you'll love forever. Tall, dark, and brooding, he makes your lashes flutter and your heart pound. It could be that slow, sexy smile or his filthy, dirty mouth. It could be the way he makes you feel like you're the only one who matters. Or maybe it's because just one smoldering look makes you go weak in the knees. I haven't seen him since the day I walked away. And yet seeing him now, I can't deny I want him back. No matter how much time passes, he'll always be the hot college guy sitting on the counter at a frat house drinking a beer...the one I knew I wanted to marry before I said hello. But from what I can tell, to him, I'm just somebody he used to know. The thing that sucks about love is that there's never any going back. But somehow I'll have to learn to deal with that because, like it or not, I'm stuck with him - or rather, he's stuck with me. You see I'm his new employee - the one he unknowingly hired to help save his company...and this time I'm not going anywhere.

The Vow
Summary
For the last 10 years, he never stayed with a woman longer than it took to screw them. But then she walked in. Back then she was nothing but a little girl, but now she’s all grown up, with curves, and a smile that reminds him of everything he’s spent the last 10 years trying to forget. His attraction to her is instant, and wrong, on so many levels. He’ll do anything he can to stop it, even make her hate him if he has to. She’s here to study, and he’s the newly appointed dean. He shouldn’t be tempted by a student, especially one who’s 10 years younger. And he definitely shouldn’t be developing feelings for her, but he is. Because as badly as he doesn’t want to admit it, Lily just might be the one person to make him fall in love again.
