    Then she walks back into it again. With her mismatched eyes, perfect pink mouth and a laugh that still haunts him, she gave him nothing but marvelous misery. Now she wants his hands on her again.

The pain she caused him in the past eats at her daily, and she can’t move on with her life. But she has a plan, a hope for redemption – a way for him to take his revenge out on her flesh.

Rush Addison is the only woman he wants in his bed. Hell, he’s inked her name into his skin, and he plans on asking her to move in with him. Problem is, she’s acting like she doesn’t feel the same way about him. It’s like something’s changed between them. And when an old girlfriend comes back into the picture – stirring up memories and fears about his past – Rush knows that if he and Addison are ever going to have a chance at happiness, it’s time to shatter the walls between them once and for all.

     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. So, I chose Scarlett Winters, the most sought-after actress in Hollywood and also the sexiest woman on Earth. I simply needed to get past the roadblock—her assistant, Morgan Bentley—the wicked bitch of the west. Between her multiple personalities and the giant stick up her ass, I should’ve seen it coming. 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. But then it turned into an obsession every Monday night. And I don’t know what’s harder—hiding how I feel about his sister from my best friend or watching the woman I want live a life with someone else. 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.
