I spent 18 years in the Army, and nothing hit me as hard as this woman. The first time I saw her picture, I wanted to drop to my knees and worship at her feet. Fiona Cooper is thick and curvy the way I like my women. I don't care that we've only talked online. She wants to be friends with benefits, but she's already mine.

Receiving a mysterious black card from a stranger to a place called "The Market" should have been my first clue. How was I supposed to know that this market was as nontraditional as the items they put on display? It was her voice that drew my attention, and eavesdropping on her personal conversation had dragged me deeper into her life. Since I had invited myself into her world, it was only fair that I extended her an invitation into mine.

For fifteen years, I’ve been walking with a hole in my heart. Carved by a man larger than life, way out of my league. We parted on terrible terms. Now fate has granted us a second chance…

Will Rusek had been burned by love. He vowed he would never give his heart away again. He had built a successful business with his younger brother, and life couldn't be better. One-night stands fit his current lifestyle, and he wasn't willing to change it for anyone. Will agreed to a blind date as a favor to his brother. His sister-in-law's friend was in town for the week and needed a date for an event. That night, he discovered some rules were meant to be broken. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he didn't want to let her go.

Niko Rusek had never been one to have female friends. Kizzie McCall blew into his life, and nothing was ever the same again. But now she’d moved away, and he realized she had filled a void in his life no one had ever claimed before. There was one thing he hadn’t shared with Kizzie before she left, and that was how much he needed and loved her.

Garrison Daniels is on the run. After his failed attempt to murder his brother and overthrow his father as boss of The Enterprise Faction, his days are numbered. So, why was he in a mansion filled to the brim with his father’s deadliest associates? One word: Malina.

Mykeisha McCall has decided that she will just be single. After countless dating disasters and terrible relationships, she had called it quits. It may be time to start adopting cats to keep her company. Before she started going to shelters, she had to make a trip to her alma mater for alumni weekend. It had been a while since she’d seen some of her college friends, and it was just the getaway she needed.

Amanda says we’re enemies—I call bull. My mind is a bit tangled after my fall, but my gut tells me this woman is mine. Granted, I’ve forgotten some insignificant shit, like my name, but I’m certain of two things. She wants to get naughty with me, and I have the equipment to give her a very merry sleigh ride.

I never thought a bookworm librarian could crack my spine. Talk about underestimating a book by the plain cover. Siah rewrote every page I thought I knew, and then put me back on the shelf, well-used and ready for check-out again. I'm not mad that she worked me over.

Gryphon Long was the forbidden fruit that I just couldn’t resist. His brooding demeanor had me panting after him despite my friends’ shallow warnings to stay away. If not for the interventions of friends and family, we could have been a power couple. Instead we went our separate ways without even as much as a hookup. Who knew it could be so hard to fall for a guy? Ten years, later we have a second chance to be together.

Meeting Rebel Kane on the set of Hoop World Magazine’s Nekked photo shoot was a dream come true. Hooking up with her in the dressing room was unbelievable. But when she became co-owner of the pro basketball team that I coach, I was caught with my pants down. Being the MVP of the WPBL was an honor. So when I was asked to pose nude for the most popular sports magazine, I jumped at the chance to show my athletic body. Meeting Ansel O’Shearon was the icing on the cake. Every straight woman in the league has fantasized about him and that sexy beard. I was fortunate enough to ride it.

Ramsey Tadeo: Women love me, especially my body. I'm hard and ripped in all the places they appreciate. Getting laid was never a problem - until Lucy Layne. She thinks she's too old for me...GTFOH. I have three days to change her mind. And just like I learned in the Army, failure is not an option. Lucy Layne: Ramsey Tadeo is a player. At 47, I'm too old to let myself get played - again. But when he looks at me, I feel a connection my traitorous body won't ignore. There's a part of me tempted to play his game.

One phone call flipped my life so far out of order, I ended up in the hands of a dangerous motorcycle club gunman that went by the name "Snake Eyes". The man dripped sex appeal, breathed danger, and lived outside the law, and I’d be damned if I didn’t want his fire to defrost my hidden desires.
