Tempting the Tight End Excerpt
I hear the announcement before I even walk back into the ballroom. “Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. Dinner will be served shortly.”
My mom and dad are up front at table four, and I swing by to say hi on my way to the bar to grab one more drink before dinner.
I’m not the only one who had that idea, though. The line is ten people deep, and by the time I turn around with my drink in hand, I see the servers clearing plates after the first of the seven-course meal, an amuse-bouche consisting of a cheese puff with truffle butter.
Damn. That sounded good.
I practically run to my table, and I grab the only open seat. I see the cheese puff thing still sitting there, and I slip it into my mouth just as someone comes to clear my plate.
“Perfect timing,” I say triumphantly, holding my fist up in the air.
And then I glance around my table.
It appears I’m sitting with a bunch of football players and their spouses. There are ten chairs, and it’s a big enough table with enough noise surrounding me that there’s no way I can hold a conversation with someone across the table from me. I glance at each couple, and they all smile and wave, and finally I look at the man sitting to my right.
Our eyes connect, and…
Holy shit.
It’s Asher Nash.
I’m a huge football fanatic, and of course I know the Nash family. Who doesn’t? They’re household names.
And whoa.
He’s hot.
Not just, like, hot, but steamy, spicy, sexy, book boyfriend material hot.
He’s got dark hair that’s styled in a trendy sort of lazy way, and his blue eyes seem to hold me hostage. He looks surprised, and my eyes fall to his full lips that are slightly parted and the scruff peppering his strong jawline.
Holy hell. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a man up close like this that’s just so…so…so…gorgeous.
He’s wearing an obnoxious paisley gold jacket, and oddly, it’s the perfect complement to my dress, as if we planned the coloring even though we didn’t. I look around him at the woman on the other side of him, and she’s leaning in and kissing the man she’s with, so I assume she’s not his date. As they part, I see the man she was kissing is Grayson Nash.
I realize my father coaches for an NFL team, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a bit starstruck by these men.
Still, I pull it together. I act like I have no idea who he is.
“Oh, uh,” I stammer. “Is this seat taken?”
He chuckles. “It is now. I’m Asher.”

Forward Progress is live in AUDIO!

One lapse in judgment has ripple effects I never saw coming.
Legal battles, jail time, and league punishments don't faze me as much as losing the two people who are most important to me.
I'm still learning how to navigate these relationships, especially as they've started to pay the price for my actions. The fear of losing them grows stronger each day, and I don't know how to fix things between us.
I'm determined to make forward progress and rebuild what I've destroyed. I just hope it isn't too late.
Forward Progress is the fourth book in the Vegas Aces: The Playbook series, which must be listened to in order.

Fair Catch is LIVE in Audio!
Narrated by: Callie Dalton and Lance Greenfield
In a moment of panic, I turn to Victoria first.
It's what Harper would want, but it's becoming what I need.
As our connection deepens, I'm working hard to prove my past no longer defines me. My priorities have changed now that I have a child and I'm falling in love for the first time.
And then I discover Victoria told her family she's bringing me as her date to her sister's destination wedding. With her ex as the best man and her as the maid of honor, I agree to go. After all, attending a wedding and pretending I'm in love with her won't really be much of an act for me.
Just before we leave for the tropics, an altercation threatens to destroy everything I've worked so hard for over the last couple of months.
Now I have a proposition of my own...a fair catch that could change our lives forever.
Fair Catch is the third book in the Vegas Aces: The Playbook series, which must be listened to in order.

False Start is Live in Audio!
False Start is now live in audio!
Narrated by: Callie Dalton and Lance Greenfield
Football season is fast approaching, and as a single dad, I need help.
Even though I claim I have a little black book filled with names of women who could step up to the task, none of them will do... not when I see the bond that's forming between Victoria and my daughter. And not when the attraction between Victoria and I continues to grow despite our constant clashing.
She offers me one night to get it out of our systems. No strings attached, just a way to smooth over the tension between us. But I can't agree to one night, and with the pressures of the season and my own fears, I'm starting to hope this isn't just a false start.

Wedding the Wide Receiver Excerpt
He looks good all day, every day, but something about seeing him in a suit as he gets ready to attend a fancy dinner followed by a Vegas show is out of this world. His hair is slicked back, which highlights the blue of his eyes, and he looks as if he hasn’t shaved in a few days, which somehow makes him look tough and rugged even though his personality comes off more on the golden retriever side. His eyes connect with mine, and his heat as they sweep down my frame before moving back up again.
“Wow,” he grunts. “That dress…you look great, Gracie.”
Hearing him turn my name into two syllables with a bit of a rasp in his tone does things to me.
Crazy things.
Intense things.
A deep, dark ache pulses between my thighs.
I want to rush at him, to take him in my arms and kiss him and let him do whatever he wants to my body. His eyes dip to my cleavage again, and then they flick to my lips before they move to my eyes once again.
He feels it too. I know he does.

Fumbled is LIVE in audio!
Narrated by: Callie Dalton and Lance Greenfield
As a pro football player, I’m known for scoring both on and off the field. But all that changes when a tragic accident leaves me as a single dad to a little girl.
With both our lives flipped upside down, I’m scrambling to balance my career while supporting the needs of a girl who just had her life torn apart. My little black book is replaced with pink unicorns and her peanut allergy means I have to rethink every meal I make. Despite my initial hesitation and uncertainty, I’m determined to do right by her.
Then we meet her reading teacher, Victoria, who’s everything I’m not—responsible, bookish, and patient. Our constant verbal clashes feel like some twisted form of foreplay. Watching how quickly she bonds with my daughter in ways I can’t proves I need her for more than simply helping me navigate this new life. But convincing her I’m not the man I used to be may be the biggest challenge yet.
Despite my history, I’m determined not to let my past fumble my future.
