Bad Reputation: A Bad Boys of Sports Novel (Bad Boys of Sports)
Par Nicole Edwards. 2017
Meet the most wanted players in sports . . . one ridiculously hot alpha male at a time. Chase: With…
a nickname like &“Sin,&” it&’s no wonder they call me the bad boy of hockey. Opponents curse me. Fans scream my name—in the arena and in other, much more private places. Penalties or not, I&’m not afraid to dish out a little pain. But pleasure? That&’s my weakness. And no one knows it better than my best friend, Cassie Desrosiers. I&’d have to be blind not to notice her rocking body and teasing grin. So when she invites me along on a trip to Vegas, my curiosity isn&’t the only thing that&’s aroused. Cassie: Chase Barrett is a world-class A-hole. As his best friend, I&’m allowed to call him on his BS. Who else is going to do it? Certainly not the puck bunnies swooning at every flex of his biceps. Everyone knows that Chase is the love-&’em-and-leave-&’em type. There&’s no such thing as commitment for the king of casual hookups. So why should I care? Maybe because all work and no play makes me a sexually frustrated girl. It&’s time to put the hockey stud at my beck and call to good use . . . but after a week in Vegas with Chase, I might never want to go back to the real world.Praise for Bad Reputation&“[Nicole] Edwards opens the Bad Boys of Sports contemporary romance series with a steamy, fun novel. . . .

Dirty Deeds (The Dirty Series #1)
Par HelenKay Dimon. 2017
No dirty deed goes unnoticed in a seductive game of cat and mouse. But for Alec and Gaige, the wrong…
move could get them killed. Alec Drummond didn&’t make his billions by playing nice—or by playing much at all. When it comes to pleasure, Alec only has time for whatever&’s quick and easy, which is exactly what he gets from his company&’s hot new computer genius. But Gaige Owens isn&’t some pushover. He pushes back, and it&’s giving Alec a rush. The question is, could Gaige be the one who&’s leaking trade secrets? Just to be safe, Alec keeps him close at hand . . . night and day. Gaige never thought he&’d roll over for a man like Alec again, but who could resist sex this mind-blowing? Then there&’s the draw of Alec&’s mysterious side: his cutthroat ambition, his covert CIA connections, and the murder in his past. For Gaige, a deeper look proves an irresistible temptation. But when Gaige and Alec are stripped of their defenses by an unseen danger, everything they don&’t know could bring them closer together—or tear them apart. Only one thing is certain: Before it&’s all over, someone&’s going down.Fall in love with the men of HelenKay Dimon&’s thrilling novels: The Tough Love series: MR. AND MR. SMITH | THE TALENTED MR.
