Players to Lovers

I couldn't believe it when my friend called to tell me she knew someone desperate for a nanny. Jobless, broke, and with a landlord who hated me, I had to take it. Turns out it was too good to be true. Rex Sloane is cold, hard, and impenetrable. I'm not convinced he's even human. Oh, and he's a dick. I should've walked my over-qualified legs right out of his penthouse the moment he screamed at me for wearing a tutu with his daughter, but stupid me, I didn't. His daughter captivated me with her sweet eyes and silent voice, and I couldn't walk away. Rex is clearly an ass and it's a mistake to stay. Yet . . . I may have to. For both of them. Contains mature themes.

Agreeing to be his no-strings-attached, fake fiancee for a weekend is totally doable . . . Until I have to share a bed with this hot, bearded recluse. It was a necessary deal, considering my boss was blackmailing me and Wyn was nearing bankruptcy as a washed-up rock star. We had to do it to fix our quickly imploding lives. What I don't expect is Wyn to ferry me away to his hometown to visit his sweet, sharp-eyed mother and meet his arrogant brother, a guy who loves to throw his success in Wyn's face. Which upsets the hell out of me. I don't know why. I have my own secrets and issues to deal with, but the thought of this guy messing with my fiance- Wait. We're fake. It's not real. I shouldn't be . . . But I'm totally falling for this hot, bearded recluse. Save me before I fall so hard, I get hurt on the way down. Contains mature themes.

She finds his child, and he falls for both of them. I wasn't sure how meeting baby Lily's father would go, but it definitely wasn't while tripping over an empty beer can castle after walking into his apartment. Locke Hayes, a disgraced pro football prodigy, is an absolute mess and within five minutes of meeting him, has become a complete pain in my ass. There's no way I'm leaving Lily with him, not until he proves he's dad material. Did I think that would mean moving in with him and helping with his transition to fatherhood? Nope, but here I am, teaching him how to change a diaper and warm up a bottle. But the more time I spend alone with Locke, the more trouble I have separating the father from the man. Especially when my heart flips every time I see him . . . with and without Lily in his arms. Then, I break my one rule. I was only meant to stay until Locke was ready to care for Lily on his own. I always knew it would destroy me to leave Lily, but now I don't want to leave Locke Hayes. And I'm terrified he won't ask me to stay. Contains mature themes.

Our night together is increasingly difficult to keep hidden, because Ben Donahue is now the nation's hottest pro-football receiver. Ben broke my heart and I thought I'd buried most of the pieces, until a high-profile criminal case hits my desk and Ben's name is on it. What is Ben doing on a mafia don's witness list? It doesn't take long to realize Ben isn't the all-American boy the world believes, and there are parts of his past that can no longer stay hidden. So, I do the hardest thing I've ever done. I confront the man who destroyed my soul. I'm a professional. I can overcome my hurt enough to help save his life, but my heart's another story. All these years later, I've stitched myself back together. It'll take all my strength to keep from unraveling, because Ben still has the power to touch me, and I become undone. Contains mature themes.

I convinced New York's cockiest, crankiest, hottest chef to take my virginity. Three months later, I have to step back into his life... telling him I'm pregnant with his baby. It was supposed to be a rebellious one-night-stand. But that's what happens, doesn't it? You get drunk, see your hot crush at the same bar, and you let him take you home. And sleep with him. Hard. Multiple times in one night. Oh yeah, and I never said my secret crush was nice. Contains mature themes.

What do you do when you find the girl of your dreams? Lie so you can become the man of hers. The way Taryn Maddox and I first met wasn't ideal-I'd almost driven off a bridge and she was meant make any charges go away. Not exactly the best first impression. Her, though? She's incredible. Stunning, smart, and possessing a soft warmth to her eyes, even when standing over the hospital bed of a degenerate (me). I've never been on the other side of that kind of compassion. Ever. I knew I couldn't lose her. Not even during the moments she could see right into me and the incredible pain I'm hiding. It's only when a threat from her past resurfaces that I'm forced to evaluate whether my secrets are worth more than her life. I'd do anything for the woman I'm falling in love with-except lose her. I'm afraid if she ever discovers the truth about me, she'll become exactly that. An irretrievable dream. Contains mature themes.
