The Accidental Harem

Girlfriends, grab a margarita and pull up a chair.

I CAN call you girlfriend, right?

Where I come from, girlfriends are the ones who know about that time you used rolled up toilet paper as a tampon.

And how you once wired your bra closed with a binder clip at work when the hook broke and your boobs made a run for the border.

And ALL about that walk of shame when your panties fell out of your purse in the Uber ride.

So come on now, plunk your cute little booty in a chair. (Do you do Pilates for that booty? I tried Pilates and sprained my girl parts.) Get that drink in your hand and listen up.

Because I met four hot men and somehow ended up on a cruise with all of them.

Girlfriends, I have a STORY to tell.

Tasty Mango

“Ladies, you’ve never had a first date quite like this.”

He’s a billionaire.

Desperately handsome.

Wildly charismatic.

In fact, a certain article of clothing of mine has gotten quite damp.

Except…

It’s not the good kind of damp.

In fact, I’m suddenly very, very wet.

Oh no.


“I’ve left out something important.”

I’m nine months pregnant.

Don’t ask about the father.

I’d rather forget.

But I’m sitting in the fanciest restaurant you can imagine.

Opposite the man of my dreams.

It’s our first time alone together.

The start of something spectacular.

And…

My water just broke.

Fight for Her Books

Fight for Her #1

For four years, I’ve been punching and kicking my way through hundreds of unworthy MMA opponents.

For four years, I’ve kept seeing her face. Maddie’s face. My one great love.

After a brutal cage match that sent me to the ER, Maddie took off across the country. Six months pregnant. She left to have my baby as far from me as she could. No more violence, she said. No fighting.

I had to live with it. I had no choice.

But last night I got a phone call from my little girl, asking me to come to her fourth birthday party. Her friends all have daddies, she said. Would I be hers?

Damn right I will.

I decide that when I get to New York, I’m not going to care about Maddie. I’m not going to even look at her.

But I do. And the moment I see her again, I know one thing is true.

This ain’t over.

Fight for Her #2

Only one person in the world could get me and Maddie back together.

Our little girl.

But just when I feel like we’ve got it made, I lose an MMA fight, a big one. I take a blow that might have killed anyone else.

For a while, we don’t even know if I’ll be able to fight again.

But the bone-crunching footage goes viral, and the world is calling for a rematch.

Surely one more fight will be enough. The money means Maddie and I can make a new start.

But my old enemies have noticed my sudden fame. And they want to make sure my career, and maybe even my life, goes nowhere.

Whether I fight them in the cage or in the street, this time I have everything to lose.

But I’m determined to make things right.

First, I’m going to find her father. He’s been living on the streets too long. That has to end.

Second, I’m going to give up this career. If she wants me to sit behind some security desk, I’m going to do it. For us.

But when Maddie’s father turns up in the hospital, and she flies into town to see him, I learn something that changes everything.

Someone I used to call a friend has threatened my little girl.

The game has changed, and now the only person who’s determined enough to win is the one who almost bowed out.

Pickle Family

Big Pickle

I've got a picklish problem.

I own a family deli. All my brothers do.

But even though I'm the oldest and most experienced Pickle, my restaurant is the one that's failing.

I hightail it to Texas to see what the hell is going on at Austin Pickle, only to find a sassy little spitfire named Nova Strong in charge.

She’s amazing. She's funny. She runs our deli like she owns it.

But despite the way we nearly melt the permafrost in the industrial freezer, I have to control myself. Nova thinks I'm a new employee. She has no idea I’m only there to spy.

Or that I'm her boss.

As I get to the bottom of why my franchise is failing, I desperately need to know one thing: Is Nova Strong everything wrong with my deli, or everything right for me?

But a tiny goddess in spandex arrives with her brushes and tanning wand.

She’s funny. She’s sexy.

I could spend all day with her hands on my hard body.

But there are two problems.

1. When she touches me, a particular part of my anatomy springs to life. In public. In the smallest competition trunks you can imagine. And…I’m about to go out on stage.

2. Camryn is my best friend’s sister. The last man who looked at her got his face bashed in. If I go anywhere near her, he’s made perfectly clear that he will kill me.

But you might as well carve my tombstone.

Because the more we see each other, the more we know we can’t fight this thing.

And despite my best friend’s threats, when I’m naked in Camryn’s tanning tent, there’s no way this Pickle is going to get anything but hot.

I changed my name a long time ago. Started a new life with a clean slate and never looked back.
