Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Grasp (Book 1) I’m at the top of my game, and the most notoriously private player in the league, but my personal life leaves something to be desired. I thought I’d have more accomplished by now - like a wife and family - but for nine years I’ve held onto the memory of the girl who got away. Now she’s back and I’m more determined than ever to make her mine. For good this time. Across the Middle (Book 2) From the moment I laid eyes on Gina Rodrigo, she twisted my whole world on its axis. For months I refused to give into the feelings she evoked in me. I’d gone down that road before and it led nowhere good. But one kiss changed everything and I couldn’t fight my feelings anymore. Except she doesn’t know my secret and the deeper we get, the more the ghosts of my past threaten to ruin the first true happiness I’ve ever found. Down by Contact (Book 3) I’m a playboy, a modern-day Casanova. I don’t love women, I just make their orgasm dreams come true. She’s the coach’s daughter and the ultimate ice princess - always cold, composed, and spoiled. We have nothing in common, until she makes me a proposition I can’t turn down. I’m only human after all, and she’s hot. It shouldn’t mean anything. So why can’t I get her out of my damn head? Taking the Handoff (Book 4) I couldn’t say no when my best friend asked for a favor. His little sister needed a safe place until she got her feet under her in LA, so of course I said yes. But I was not prepared for the vixen that showed up at my door looking NOTHING like the girl I remember. She’s off limits and I’m trying to behave. Realy. I am. But the longer she stays here, the more tempted I am to take her and make her mine.

Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn’t make the kill, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect?

Since then, a history of last-second losses, historically bad teams, draft busts, missed calls, terrible trades, disappointing playoff runs, blown leads, under-qualified front office staff and coaches and untimely injuries. Yet, this fan base stays loyal. For some reason.
