Can Phillip find a way to thaw the hearts of both the women in his life, or will he be forever trying to break them away from their pasts? TANGLED IN THE LACES Karson King is on the fast track to the NHL. Lacey Martin is coming back from a hard fight against cancer and is terrified of him but the attraction is too much to ignore.

Or will they let those around them and the circumstances they face, along with questions and doubt, ruin a second chance at the life they both deserve?  WANTING TO FORGET Jordie Thomas is looking for something to take his mind off of the woman he let go— or rather, pushed away— and the terrifying prospect of what will happen if his broken leg doesn’t heal. He’s ready to get back to his family and fellow teammates on the Nashville Assassins and get back onto the ice.

Cocky Cage Fighter Box Set


Lane Hart - 2016
    Known for his viciousness in the cage, and his playboy ways out of it, Jax is arrested and charged with a brutal rape. The thought of spending decades in prison is one of the few things that actually scares the shit out of this cocky fighter. Newly admitted attorney Page Davenport is willing to do anything it takes to get out from under her father's thumb and finally prove herself in his law firm. Anything except represent the infamous miscreant, Jackson "The Mauler" Malone.

He decides to go for it, but that little string just might turn out to be the one that unravels him completely. Sadie Briggs is a quiet, introverted tomboy. She was raised by a single father and grew up in his MMA training gym with dozens of sweaty, aggressive men.

Jude feels like he's been sucker punched when Sadie's unexpected Cinderella transformation forces him to actually see her as a woman for the very first time.

Only one thing stands in the way of him winning the world championship welterweight title and a gorgeous girl. The truth. ~ Linc ~ Linc is in love with a porn star. Okay, so maybe he’s not in love with Eve Kelly, but he’s completely freaking obsessed with her, addicted even. For years he’s been using Eve as an escape from reality. Why? Because Linc’s heart was not only ripped out of his chest by his high school sweetheart, she crushed it into so many pieces that he still hasn’t found them all. But now he’s ready to stop letting the past haunt him and a porn star own him.
