Underground fighter Remington Tate is a mystery, even to
himself. His mind is dark and light, complex and enlightening. At times his
actions and moods are carefully measured, and at others, they spin out of
control.
Through it all, there's been one constant: wanting, needing,
loving, and protecting Brooke Dumas. This is his story; from the first moment
he laid eyes on her and knew, without a doubt, she would be the realest thing
he's ever had to fight for.
Trouble by Samantha Towle {ebook}
Mia Monroe is running. Running from a person she doesn’t ever
want to find her. Running from a past she doesn’t ever want anyone to know.
Desperate to find a future, that yesterday, she could only dream of having.
Jordan Matthews likes easy. Easy women. Easy life.
Then he meets Mia.
Then he meets Mia.
She’s damaged, troubled and has more baggage than any person can
carry. But the more Jordan gets to know Mia-for the first time in his life-he
finds himself wanting to try hard for something … for someone … for her.
And then life isn’t so easy anymore.
And then life isn’t so easy anymore.
Jordan is everything Mia shouldn’t want. A whole bunch of dirty
hotness, tattooed, cocky bad boy, who made his money at poker tables and picked
his women up in bars. Yet, Mia finds herself falling for him. Then the past Mia
was running from, quickly starts to catch up with her. Because that’s the
problem with running … you have to stop sometime.
And when you stop, you get caught.
In the past, I've always been given everything I've wanted,
but nothing that I truly needed. I've experienced a lot of things in my
twenty-five years, everything except the one thing I want. It's the one thing
that can’t be bought. It can't even be taken, it has to be given. And nobody
has ever given it to me, not really anyway.
Not until him.
Not until him.
Music is the center of both our lives, but as he found his place
in it, I lost my way. He soared, while I spiraled down a destructive path.
I lost myself in more ways than I can count.
The ironic thing is that I didn’t realize how lost I was until he found me.
The ironic thing is that I didn’t realize how lost I was until he found me.
And now that he has, I have to wonder if he'll stay around long
enough to catch me.

For a thousand years, Chace has searched for a way to break the
curse placed on him by a jilted lover. He’s a dragon shifter, one who can’t
control when the magic will force him into a different form. He’s already lost
everyone he ever cared about a few times over and doesn’t know how much longer
he’s meant to suffer.
At his wit’s end, he makes a deal with a mysterious figure that
offers him what he wants most – an end to his misery – in exchange for
everything that’s his: His life, his power. His heart.
The next day, he meets Skylar, a modern day dragon slayer whose
mission is to cage him – or kill him. Sexy, witty and brave, she is the yin to
his yang, the woman destined to break the curse, balance his magic and make his
broken heart whole.
Except it’s too late. Not only has he sealed his fate, but an
innocent one-night-stand with Skylar has dragged her into the middle of a deal
with the devil, one she won’t escape, if he can’t convince her that dragon
shifters aren’t her enemies.
Good girls finish last? Screw that.
Being a small town girl isn’t so bad. Unless Mom’s the town joke and I’ve spent my entire life shying away from her flamboyance. College in Las Vegas should be so much cooler. But it’s not. Bad things happen. Real bad.

So when my brother Reid offers me an all-expenses paid vacation
to Australia for a month, I am so there. Discounting the deadly snakes on the
outback cattle station, I should be safe.
Until I meet Jack.
Until I meet Jack.
Jack defines bad boy and then some. He’s big, buffed, bronzed,
and hotter than any guy I’ve ever met. His sexy Aussie accent makes me melt.
And the guy can cook.
But he’s my
brother’s new bestie and he lives on the other side of the world. There’s no
future for us.
Is there?

Jos Archer was the girl with the perfect life; until the night it all came crashing down around her. Now, nine months later, she still hasn't begun to pick up the pieces.

Knock Out by Michele Mannon
Logan Rettino never imagined she'd fall so far. Dropped by her
ex on national TV, she's gone from prima ballerina to ring card girl, reduced
to revving up the crowds before MMA bouts. However distasteful she finds her
new job, it pays well…and she needs the money if she's ever going to rebuild
her life. Promised a huge bonus if she can convince a brooding, gifted
welterweight to keep fighting, she'll do whatever it takes to earn his trust.
Keane O'Shea is unbeatable in the octagon. A former marine, he
fights with a ruthlessness no gym jockey can match. He knows his brutal
strength is too much for the delicate ex-ballerina, regardless of how
fascinating he finds Logan's tight dancer's body. But one private performance
and he's drawn to her in a way he can't—or won't—resist.
As Logan discovers the heartbreaking truth that lies beneath
this handsome warrior's rage, she'll need to forfeit everything she thought
mattered for the one thing that matters the most: saving Keane from himself.
