Jesse Lee is the worst! He’s a multi-millionaire, triple-platinum-selling, Grammy-Award-winning man-slut - a worldly, self-indulgent heathen. I wouldn’t sleep with him if he were our last chance to ensure survival of the human race....

If they want their happily ever after, they’ll have to fight time—and thousands of miles—for it....

Love and pain always go together. That’s why I like to keep my life easy. Simple. Commitment free. So, with my MMA career in full swing, and with an injury to overcome, stupid romantic distractions are the last thing I need....

He’s spent a lifetime fighting to forget. Now he’ll have to decide if remembering the past—and taking a shot at happily ever after with Mac—is worth the potentially devastating cost....

Layla taught me what it meant to truly love another person. I’d do anything for her. But nothing prepared me for the lengths I’d go to for my baby. Which is why I’m going to go home and deal with my family issues once and for all. I can’t move forward without resolving my past....

Abandoned with his two younger brothers, Milo Vega was placed in foster care. Now a 20-year-old high-school senior covered in gang tattoos and working as the school’s janitor, he is living a life vastly different from the one he was destined for....
