     The Bad Co-Worker - #JERK I was bored and needed a new challenge. Something to keep me occupied. And one day, it all just fell into place (by accident of course). Our office was one giant playground. I dubbed myself the school bully and the ice queen was my target. It’s her own fault though; I’d never met a woman so ridiculously uptight you would need a whole army to pull the giant stick out of her butt. I had to have her. The Bad Rebound – Mr. Rebound I told myself I would no longer prey on emotionally unstable women. I don’t do relationships—I’m a selfish bastard who enjoys not answering to anyone—and relationships mean being with only one woman. My cousin, Charlie, dared me to settle down with one woman.

Morgan Bentley’s after one thing, and one thing only—a rebound. That’s me. But this time—what if I want more? The Bad Brother’s Best Friend – Kicking Reality Nothing breaks my focus. I train hard, work hard, and play hard. Except for Emerson—my best friend’s sister. The girl next door turned Hollywood TV star. It started off innocent, a stupid kiss to shut her up.

The Bad Hollywood Alpha - Bad Boy Rich I’m a self-proclaimed bad boy. The ultimate heartbreaker, and your daddy’s worst nightmare. The lethal mix every woman should stay away from. It started off as payback. Messing with my ex-fiancée by screwing her assistant. Plus, I was bored with the same old gold diggers. I just didn’t expect her to be my savior. The holy water ready to wash away my sins. The out-of-towner miss-goody-two shoes became my saving grace. And there’s no chance in hell I would let go of her now. No. She is mine. And I will do anything I can to keep it that way. Four full-length books about bad boys, their dirty mouths and minds, and the women who capture them.
