I wasnโt looking to change my โbad boy of baseballโ reputation. At least not until my dream girl, Pop Princess Alexis Bodega, stepped foot in my clubhouse to sing for the stadium on opening day.
Thereโs just one problem, and itโs a big one. Her manager is also her boyfriend, and her father is her agent.
Sheโs kept on a tight leash with her incredibly busy schedule, and Iโm at the start of a new baseball season with a new team.
Itโs the worst time to explore this attraction with the wrong girl, but that doesnโt stop me from fighting my way backstage at her surprise performance in Vegas and slipping her my number.
I quickly discover that nothing is what it seems where her manager is concerned. The more I learn about Americaโs Sweetheart, the more I realize what the world knows of her is the carefully crafted faรงade of her brandโฆnot the woman behind it all. But Iโm getting to know the real Alexis, and Iโm falling hard and fast for her.
Her father might be the one holding the ball, but Iโm in a scoring position, and I wonโt let anything stop me from getting the win.
SCORING POSITION is the first book in the VEGAS HEAT: BASES LOADED series. This series must be read in order.
Pro football might see me as their favorite underdog, but Madison Westfield would rather see me six feet under.
My ex-best friendโs little sister has every reason to hate me.
I took her boyfriendโs spot on this team, her brother might lose his too, and our short-lived engagement years ago is part of the reason our families are locked in a grudge match that has the whole league on edge.
Ruining me would fix most of her problems, but she’s stuck trying to work a PR miracle with my career instead.
Making my way through her build-a-better-image checklist is the kind of torture I’ll gladly sign up for, especially if I get to help her prove everyone wrong.
But it means we’re spending a lot of time alone together, and when it comes to Madison, I’ll take any chance she gives me.
Even if it means there’s hell to payโon and off the field.

And the weight of each game is on my shoulders because if our opposing team scores โฆ thatโs on me. All the things that keep me up at night are probably someone elseโs dreams.

But as fate would have it, weโre paired up together in a charity dance event. And now, whether she likes it or not, she has to spend time with me. A lot of time.

Before he does, Iโll take something from him. Her.
I might be bad for her, but her fatherโs world is worse. Iโm exactly who she needs to escape it.

โWhat are you grinning about?โ Brock asked as I plopped down in my chair with a beer. โI think I have a real chance with Laura.โ โYeah? Even after she flashed you multiple times, then ran upstairs like her hair was on fire?โ โRelax. I got the signal. Itโs all good.โ โWhatโs the signal?โ he questioned. โShe punched my shoulder.โ โAh, the punch the shoulder routine. Thatโs a classic.โ โI know, which is why I know itโs all good.โ He nodded at me with a huge grin on his face. โIt is a classic, but you have this all wrong.โ I was about to take another drink when I paused. โWhat do you mean? She punched me. Thatโs the signal.โ โRight, the signal that youโre just friends.โ โWhat? No, thatโs not right. A punch is affectionate.โ โA punch is like saying, yeah, I like you, but itโs not going any further.โ โNo, I swear. The punch is a sign she likes me. Itโs the go-ahead signal.โ Brock snorted in amusement, but I didnโt find it very funny. โYeah, itโs the signal that seven year old boys give to girls on the playground. Youโre not seven and this isnโt the playground. Sheโs not into you like that.โ I frowned, thinking over the way she blushed when I told her that I couldnโt unsee what was under that curtain. Thereโs no way she was faking her reaction. โOkay, if she doesnโt like me, then tell me why her heart rate kicks up whenever I get close to her, or why she blushes from head to toe when I wink at her.โ โUhโฆone, because you saw her naked when she was vulnerable. Of course sheโs going to blush! And her heart rate kicks up because youโre boxing her in and making her uncomfortable.โ โShoot,โ I said in realization. โYou think so?โ โItโs not rocket science. You misread the signals.โ I took another pull of my beer, wondering how I managed to do that. I really thought she was into me. Nowโฆnow things were just awkward. She was up in my shower, about to get in my clothes! How was I supposed to handle her prancing around my house wearing nothing but my t-shirt? โYou give her sweatpants,โ Brock said, drinking his own beer. โSorry, what?โ โYou were doing that thing where you think out loud.โ โI donโt do that,โ I grumbled. โThen how do I know that youโre wondering how youโre not gonna get a chubby while sheโs here?โ I didnโt have an answer for that. But now I was totally screwed. I thought this was gonna go somewhere. Now… โWell, hell. I really thought she liked me.โ โYou could still go for it,โ he shrugged. โWhatโs the worst that could happen?โ โShe could punch me in the face instead of the shoulder,โ I grumbled. โYeah, that could be bad.โ And then I thought of something even worse than that. โMan, we only have two beds.โ โYour point?โ โWhere are we supposed to let them sleep?โ I asked, getting up and kicking my damn chair. โIt would be rude of us to make them sleep on the floor.โ โYou think?โ He said sarcastically. โI donโt know about you, but Iโm taking the fatalistic one to bed.โ โSeriously? Even after all the doom and gloom talk?โ โI dig it,โ he grinned. โWell, Iโm mostly horny since Miranda wonโt sleep with me. Whatโs with that?โ โWell, getting interrupted twice isnโt a coincidence. Thatโs a sign from the stars,โ I said, just to piss him off as payback for him ruining my mood. โFu@k you very much. I guess this means neither of us gets the woman we want.โ โYeah, well, I should have known. She said this guy was coming into town. What was I thinking?โ โThat youโd rescued her and sheโd fall to her knees and suck your co@k,โ he pointed out. โRight, I thought with the wrong head,โ I nodded. โScrewed the whole thing up.โ โFace it, she put you firmly in the friend-zone. Thereโs no getting out of it now.โ โFu@k.โ I hated the friend-zone. โAnd sheโs actually nice, someone I might get along with in real life. You know, aside from my fake life as a construction worker.โ โAside from that,โ he agreed. โYou know, itโs probably for the best. I mean, really, whatโs a woman like that going to do with a guy like you?โ โYou mean, aside from pleasure me all night long?โ I asked sarcastically. โHey, Iโm just saying, sheโs not exactly the type to go out with a guy like you. Youโre tooโฆbrutish.โ โBrutish? I donโt think Iโve ever been called that.โ โWell, compared to a normal guy,โ he said. โYou know, like a teacher or a banker.โ I rolled my eyes at the comparison. โHey, I can be just as normal as a teacher or a banker. I have normal guy qualities.โ โName one,โ he said, staring over at me expectantly. I sat there for a few minutes, trying to come up with something. โOkay, what about thisโฆI like pool.โ He stared at me for a moment, then shook his head. โOoh, youโre right. How did I miss that?โ
On a world held in thrall to a powerful few, orbiting their planet in opulent space stations and illegal genetic labs, it’s time to break out the Battle Armour and take this war into outer space.
โIf you want to wrap that up in some fancy ideology, go ahead – Iโm right behind you with a big gun, powered armour and a bad attitude.โ
Itโs Finnโs War. You think youโre ready? Think again.
After arriving at Togalaau Vai full of hope, Delta find a paradise already accessing their planetary SeedShip, and on first look, maximising its knowledge for the good of all. But as they scratch under the surface, they discover the true depths humankind will go to.
As the people of Vai struggle with the drudgery of their daily lives and the gradual destruction of their beautiful planet, the squad face the choice of creating a political vacuum or walking away and letting the people continue to suffer under the boot of the five powerful companies monopolising the planet for their own personal greed.
When Zuri is thrown into prison and forced to fight in the Tau Pit for the pleasure of the rich and powerful, Finn has to bide his time and wait for her release. After things go badly wrong, his inner demons are released, and the crew find themselves in Finnโs way as his fire rages across the planet.
With Noah and Yasuko developing space-certified Battle Armour, Finn takes his rampage into orbit where the powerful companies reside in their spectacular space stations. Faced with the dilemma of saving a whole people from the clutches of debt induced slavery, where the only way out is to sell your children for genetic research, or pursuing his own personal crusade, Finn calls upon the squad to climb into their Powered Armour and fight at his side.
As the team learn more about themselves and how far they are willing to go to help others, Yasuko, the ship’s AI, continues her personal journey as she stands alongside her human crew. With the impact of their actions reverberating around Togalaau Vai, the companies make their stand, and the deaths pile up. In response, Yasuko delivers on her pledge as they left Bathsen and produces the equalising weapons she promised the crew.
But will they be enough as the squad faces the might of human genetic depravity and corruption? And will Smith finally get the chance to fight alongside his squad mates?
