As the rookie catcher of the Daytona Fury, I have a lot to prove. Not only do I need to be perfect on the field, but I'm doing it all while fulfilling a promise to the woman who raised me. Graduating college was never as important to me as it was to my grandma, but I gave her my word that I'd finish, even though my future in the majors was sealed. When I find out I need one more class—one I know nothing about—I decide to hire a tutor to help me through it. But as soon as we get into our lessons, I realize I want her to teach me much more than the curriculum suggests.

I've never been anything but the underdog. No matter how hard I worked, I was always good enough to be someone's backup but nothing more. I thought being drafted by Cleveland's brand-new expansion team would be a fresh start. But when I find myself taking the snaps, it becomes painfully clear that I need some extra help—in the form of secret meetups with the owner's daughter. Livvy Grant is everything a guy like me could want—smart, beautiful, and knows the game of football better than anyone. But what happens when our midnight coaching sessions move from the field to the bedroom?

Since I was a teenager, I've used baseball as a way to distract myself from everything my life was missing. I grew up too fast, taking care of my two younger brothers. They were all I had, until one day, they were taken away and I was alone. Being drafted by the Daytona Fury brought with it a gift I wasn't expecting—my best friend, Jackson Blake. I've opened up to him about my past and he's accepted me for who I am, but I've never felt fully understood…at least not until I met his stepsister. Arden makes me feel seen, and she's secretly owned a piece of me for years.

Seventeen-year-old Tennessee Russo's life is imploding. His boyfriend has been cheating on him, and all his friends know about it. Worse, they expect him to just accept his ex's new relationship and make nice. So when his father, a famous archaeologist and reality show celebrity whom he hasn't seen in two years, shows up unexpectedly and offers to take him on an adventure, Tennessee only has a few choices:

From the moment I met Stella Wilder on the first day of kindergarten, I knew she'd be a part of me forever. We were inseparable, slowly falling for one another more with each passing year. The summer before we went to college on opposite sides of the country, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife. But it wasn't long before it all fell apart. It's been over seven years, and just when I think I've finally found my place with Cleveland's brand-new football team, she crashes back into my life and turns everything upside down.

I'm known as the bad boy of baseball, and I've always used that to my advantage. Men want to be me. Women want to be with me. I've ridden that wave all the way to the top. But when my quick temper lands me in hot water with my team, I have to think fast in order to save my spot on the Daytona Fury roster. Unfortunately, the only person who can help me carry out my crazy plan is the one woman I can't stand but also want so badly that I can barely control myself.

The summer before my senior year of college, I made the biggest mistake of my life. It wasn't falling for my best friend's little sister when I knew she was off-limits… it was leaving her behind thinking what we had was nothing more than a fling. Her pained cries as I walked away have played on a loop in my nightmares since that day. In the years that have passed, there hasn't been a single achievement I've celebrated that wasn't tainted by her absence. Now, it's time. I'm going to get my girl back… no matter what it takes.

As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I've eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard… until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven't been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams. But when I get the chance to keep her as my wife a little longer, I have to figure out a way to convince her to stay forever.

I'm at the top of my game—star receiver of the Boston Blizzard, huge new contract, women throwing themselves at me nightly. When I find myself needing some extra help keeping my life together, I don't expect a sexy little firecracker to show up at my doorstep. The kicker? She knows all about my football world. When I overhear her on a phone call talking about how no man in Boston can give her what she needs, I find myself scrambling to figure out how to make her submit to me in more ways than one. But I won't stop with just her body. I want her heart, too.

At twelve years old, my whole life changed in the blink of an eye. I not only lost both of my parents but was also forced to uproot my life to live with my aunt and uncle, leaving behind the best friend I ever had. When a chance encounter in an elevator during championship week brings her back into my arms, I know I can't let her go again. I may not have long to do it, but I need to find a way to show Bailey Hart how much I've missed her and make her mine for good.

Tennessee Russo has done more difficult things than this before. He's evaded traps, found lost treasures, become kind of famous, gotten over a bad relationship, and survived all that. Filming a new season of his artifact-hunting reality show for a major international streaming service should be easy, right? His archeologist dad even said Tennessee is in charge of what artifacts they go after. Plus, Ten's awesome best friend (and sometimes more), Gabe, gets to come along on the adventure. But here's the thing: Tennessee wants to hunt down a long-lost gift that King David gave Jonathan.
