A Royal Romance

Road to Fire

Never trust a bad boy. That's what Beauty Influencer Lizzie Danvers tells her YouTube subscribers after getting dumped on Instagram. Lizzie may have the devil's luck in choosing men, but she's determined to prove that the age-old "once a playboy, always a playboy" theory is bulletproof. All she needs is thirty days and one sexy commitment-phobe to do it... By day, Gage Harvey helps his twin at Inked on Bourbon, tattooing butterflies onto every female under the age of thirty. By night, he works for New Orleans' Special Operations Division, fulfilling a family legacy to protect his city. Relationships aren't on his radar--until the hot-as-hell woman on his tattoo table glances up at him, a butterfly half-inked on her butt, and propositions him. Gage should say no--nothing good ever comes from entertaining crazy women. But for the sake of playboys everywhere, he'll take one for the team, and prove to Miss Lizzie Danvers that bad boys are the only men who will tempt you with forever.

Tempt Me with Forever

I had it all.The Super Bowl rings. The hot shot TV gig. Then I got fired. Now I’m living in middle-of-nowhere Maine, playing assistant coach to the woman of my nightmares. Did I mention that she and her son are my new neighbors? If you talk to the locals, they’ll tell you Aspen Levi is the queen of high school football. But if you ask me, my new head coach is a pain in my left nut sac. She’s too blonde. Too peppy. And way too sexy for my peace of mind. Only, one minute we’re fighting, and the next I can’t keep my hands off her. One hot kiss. One forbidden touch. I don’t do love but . . . What I want, I take, and what I want is Aspen Levi. --

He was the NHL’s hottest goalie. I'm a struggling sports journalist on the verge of losing it all. My stick-in-the-mud boss is determined to make my life hell.

No way am I letting my future rest on the broad shoulders of a goalie who’s three seasons past his prime. I’ve got eight days to convince Duke that the loyal fans of The Cambridge Tribune (annual circulation: 1,000) are dying to know about his life, on and off the ice. Eight days to face off against the sexy man who’s hellbent on blocking my shot at every turn. This power play is going to be one for the pucking ages.

Until I discover that her family is opening a new restaurant next to my tattoo parlor.If I were a gentleman, I’d offer my congratulations and go my own way. If I were a gentleman, I’d let her be...but I’m not. Savannah Rose may claim I’m nothing more than a friend, but that slight hitch in her breath whenever I get too close says that America’s sweetheart is nothing but a liar. All it takes is one scorching kiss, and I vow in her ear: “You’re going to beg. Beg me to touch you, beg me to give you more, and if you’re real good, maybe I’ll do it all over again before you have to beg for that too.” I’m no gentleman. But Savannah Rose?

But when the owners sell us out to Hollywood, suddenly we’re not just playing for thousands of fans, we’re cracking open our lives on a new reality show, Getting Pucked. They want all the dirty details, and I’d rather take a puck to the gonads than peel back the curtains on my life. Not when it could take me out of the game for good. I agree to sign the contract on one condition: they hire New England’s reigning queen of media to call the shots. Holly Belliveaux Carter. The woman who drives me to insanity and turns me on with nothing but a quirk of her lips and the sound of her laugh. The only woman I’ve ever loved. The problem? She’s my ex-wife.
