One Night Of Sin
Book 1
Sometimes it’s good to be bad…
When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn’t do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she’s willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she’s prepared to take what she wants.
Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can’t risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can’t resist a taste—and it’s so damn good he has to see her again.
As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there’s no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skyler’s tougher than she looks, and she’s ready to fight for her man.

One Night of Scandal
Book 2
Ex-fighter Reed Miller has been secretly lusting over his best friend’s girl for months, but he refuses to jeopardize a friendship over a woman—especially one who doesn’t like him all that much. Now that Darcy’s on the market again, it’s even more imperative to stick to his strict hands-off policy. But the sizzling attraction between them is too powerful to ignore, and once he’s had a taste of her…all bets are off.
Darcy Grant is tired of walking the straight and narrow path. She’s on the hunt for passion, and there’s no denying Reed is just the man to give it to her. Although she has no interest in dating a bad boy, and certainly not her ex’s best friend, it’s impossible not to melt beneath Reed’s skillful touch. Now it’s just a matter of setting a few ground rules—and hoping her rule-breaking, sweet-talking bad boy agrees to follow them. But if she lets Reed into her bed, does she stand a chance of keeping him out of her heart?

What do you do when you want your best friend’s girlfriend? For Reed Miller it is to avoid her at all cost. His attitude towards Darcy comes across as harsh and at times downright cruel. It is the only way he can function around her and not betray his oldest and best friend A.J..
When Reed catches Darcy cheating on A.J. he is livid and steps in. He soon finds out that Darcy and A.J. have had a mutual and friendly break up, leaving the path clear for him to move in. In his mind it is still wrong to poach on his best friend’s ex.
Reed comes across as an insensitive habitual player. Beneath the surface he is a great guy. He has matured and is ready for a lasting relationship.
Darcy and Reed are thrown together in several new kinds of situations due to the break up. What they find is they have more in common than they thought. They find they have an intense chemistry for one another that they have never experienced before.
Can these two resist temptation? Or will they come clean to A.J. and get his blessing in their new relationship.
Love is worth it, even if it means losing your best friend.
It was an intense story that had no easy resolution. In the end love conquered all.

One Night of Trouble
Book 3
No More Mr. Nice Guy…
The moment AJ Walsh sees the sexy, tattooed pixie walk up to his bar, it’s lust at first sight. He’s always been labeled the “nice” guy―opening doors, buying flowers, and never, ever having one-night stands. But with this wicked little angel with red lips and unfathomably dark eyes? Oh, yeah. Tonight, “nice” has nothing to do with it…
Brett Conlon is trying to convince her family that she’s put away her reckless wild girl side for good. Nothing―and no one―could be better for her reputation than golden boy AJ Walsh. So they make a deal: if he plays The Good Boyfriend for her family, he can be a very, very bad boy with her. Now their one naughty night is about to turn into a whole lot of trouble…
Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / IBooks
One Night of Trouble was a delightful unexpected surprise. It is my favorite book in this series. A.J. Walsh is my kind of alpha guy.
A.J. Walsh has always been the good and nice guy. He was the perfect son, an all star athlete, the reliable friend, and steadfast business partner. His golden boy image and golden good looks have only made people see what’s in front of their eyes. They can’t see beneath the surface. They can’t see the guy that is strangling in his own image, a guy dying to break loose and through caution to the wind. They don’t see that his soul in withering. A.J. can’t even see it all himself. He has goals and self expectations on how his life should be. He has struggled with the man he is and the man he is hiding away.
When A.J. runs into an old schoolmate all bets are off. Brett Conlon is the kind of girl he has always wanted to get his hands on. She is the kind of girl that you don’t take home to meet the parents. She is a free spirit. Between her sexy tattoos, her rebellious attitude, and free spirit, A.J. is on the chase . For once in his life he is going to take what he wants and enjoy a wild fling.
As Brett and A.J. get to know one another they realize they have more in common than they thought. They also have hopes and dreams that they can help each other achieve.
Brett wants to prove that she has given up her wild ways and is ready to take over the new family business. What better way to prove it than to take A.J. Walsh home. Her family adores and respects him.
For A.J. the one thing he wants to have one wild fling. One that feeds the wild side he has hidden away. A fling with Brett is perfect. But what starts out as a fling turns into so much more. She brings out the real A.J. the man he has hidden away. She likes that A.J..
Can A.J. finally let it all out. Will his friends and family accept who he really is? Is he strong enough to take that risk?
This book was very emotional. It was sad to see what we thought was a very good and ordinary guy hiding away the best parts of himself. He was hiding away a man that would make his Mr. Nice Guy look like a complete idiot and fool.
A.J. Walsh is a special man. Brett Colton was the only one who really looked at the man beneath the perfect exterior.
