I was a star, a stud, the envy of all men. After that life, coaching high school basketball should be a piece of cake. But there’s just one problem: Katie. She’s gorgeous, she’s spellbinding, she’s barely legal, and worst of all, she’s a student. Katie looks like she just stepped out of a magazine. Her curves drive me wild, and when I’m not around her, I can’t stop thinking about her, and the best part about Katie, is she has no idea the power she has over me. I can’t control myself any longer. I have to have her and I don’t care what the consequences are. I’m going to take her and make her mine. Coach Steele is a stand alone, steamy short read, stuffed with tons of romance and enough heat to melt your Kindle! And of course, Autumn Avery style, no cheating and a guaranteed HEA!

I could have been called a bastard for knowing her father would fail in paying me for a mutual business agreement, for knowing I would take Megan as payment. But she was mine and in my world, when I wanted something, I took it. And I wanted her. She was bought and paid for, collateral damage when her father failed to uphold his end of the deal. They all think it’s only for a week. They’re wrong. I’m keeping her. MEGAN My father couldn't fulfill a debt to Jackson King, but Jackson didn't seem to mind, not when he got me as his payment. Having been attracted to the brutal businessman for years, I couldn't help but feel arousal and trepidation at what he had planned. He wanted me for a week, to do with as he pleased.

I don't care what the consequences are, because I'm going to make her mine if it's the last thing I do.
