DIRTY COWBOY
BY ERIN TREJO
I was at the top of my game. I knew who I was and what direction my life
was headed. I owned the most prestigious night clubs down the east coast yet I
kept my identity a secret. I don’t like being in the lime light and my hometown
was none of anyone’s business. However, making people happy was. I did that
with my clubs. Until the day tragedy struck my family. I had a choice to make
and it wasn’t an easy one.

and it wasn’t an easy one.
At the end of the day, family always comes first. I went home to take
care of my mom and the ranch. I didn’t plan on that little smart mouth Cassidy
Birch showing up with a laptop in hand. Just out of a cheating relationship the
girl was hell bent on hating all men. Me included. Hating me wasn’t the only
thing she came back home for. She needed a quiet place to write her next
article. Her interest? The man that suddenly closed down all the upscale clubs
on the east coast.

I wanted to be anonymous for a reason. I didn’t want the cameras and all

UNRULY DEFENDER
BY ESTHER E. SCHMIDT
A vow of justice.
A breach of silence.
A heart fueled by vengeance.
It all consumes the life of one Unruly Defender.
The first thing Eddie swore when he walked out of prison was
that justice would prevail. He didn’t throw the first punch that landed him in
prison, but he will make sure this time, he will be the last one to strike.

With every heartbeat Eddie gets closer to unraveling a
secret that took lives, and in the end will risk the woman who touched his
heart. Life is full of surprises and unknowingly crossed paths, but emotions
and vengeance are bound to collide into a deadly explosion. Will Eddie be the
one coming out on the losing side again or is he willing to give up the one
thing he wants more than his next breath? Vengeance or love? Justice or death?

DIRTY PLAYER
BY GWYN MCNAMEE
Only one word can describe Sebastian “Bash” Fury…
DIRTY.
He’s dirty hot.
A dirty talker.
And a dirty player.
On the ice, he truly earns his nickname.
He bashes opponents without regard for the rules or safety.
Which is precisely why I can’t have him on my team.
As the first female head coach in the NHL, all eyes are on me, waiting for me to fail.
A man like Bash Fury is a liability who could ruin my career.
Even worse, he’ll destroy my willpower.
I should despise that cocky bastard.
But something about his swagger and quick smile make him irresistibly charming.
Despite my best efforts, things are heating up and the ice around my heart is starting to melt…
All because of this dirty player.

UNDERCOVER AGENT

cocky undercover agent is her mission impossible…
Lynx
It was one night,
A night of pure passion and desire,
A night I will never forget.
But she walked out,
And I never stopped thinking about her.
And now, she’s back
Within reach.
And again, she’s off-limits,
Belongs to someone else,
One of my men.
Teaming up with her to take down
Those who threaten our freedoms
Seems like a perfect way to get close to her,
But there’s more at stake than ever before.
Emerson
I never forgot him.
He was—is—everything.
But the timing was off;
I had more happening in my life than I could handle.
And now, with him right there,
I can feel how much I’ve missed:
His touch, his scent, his taste.
Except,
there’s more on the line Than a love affair.
there’s more on the line Than a love affair.
We have to keep it professional.
But can I do that when I need so much more from this undercover agent?

BOSSY BASTARD
BY J.L. PERRY
ASHTON
BARCLAY, or as I like to call him, Mr. B. for Bossy, is fast becoming
the bane of my existence.
BARCLAY, or as I like to call him, Mr. B. for Bossy, is fast becoming
the bane of my existence.
After running into him, literally, he’s now popping up everywhere, and somehow managing to weave his way into my life.
He’s egotistical, smug, and so ridiculously good-looking it should be illegal—he’s way too hot to handle. I don’t do hot, those type of guys are more trouble than they’re worth. Although, I’d secretly love to do him.
We’ve kissed once—it was smokin’, and led to me dry humping his leg in front of the entire club like a shameless hussy. Oh, and did I mention I deep throated his thumb within seconds of meeting him, and I didn’t even know his name. Apparently, I have issues. Big ones.
He makes me do things I never imagined myself doing.
He makes me feel things I’m not comfortable feeling.
It just wouldn’t work, even if I wanted it to. Between us, we have more baggage than a carousel at LAX airport.
He’s everything I want, but can never have.
Or so I thought.

HOTSHOT DECEIVER
BY K E OSBORN
We all have secrets.
Like the fact that I portray myself as a simple florist, living a mundane life. Which is a far stretch from reality.
My family is rock god royalty. My father an ‘80s icon, my siblings all celebrities in their own right. Then there’s me, Lyric Griffin, hiding in plain sight trying to be everything I’m not.
Along comes Eddie, someone I find myself completely attracted to. I’m simply Lyric to him, not a princess of rock. He’s gorgeous, a little cocky, and knows what he wants — me.
But I made a mistake.
I trusted him, and he betrayed me.
Is Eddie nothing but a hotshot deceiver?
The thing about secrets, they always have a way of coming out in the end.
