"Getting fired and dumped in the same 30 seconds makes for a pretty bad Tuesday.
But by Thursday, I'll be in Vegas celebrating my brother's wedding. Since I could use a fresh start, he offers me a place to stay with a buddy of his.
At the bachelorette party, a raunchy game results in a quest to find me a one-night stand. When a hunk with dark blue eyes and perfect bone structure hits me with a silly line at the bar, my mission is complete. I vow to move on from our steamy night as I head to the rehearsal dinner, certain one of my brother's hot pro football player groomsmen will be my Prince Charming.
Then the best man turns around. Dark blue eyes. Perfect bone structure. A body I won't soon forget. And apparently my new roommate."
"Alexis is backed into a corner as she looks between two doors. Behind door number one is the man her father is pushing her to marry, the man who's good for her brand and her future.
Behind door number two is me: the bad boy of baseball who happens to be the man she has fallen in love with.
I wish we could just run away together. I promised I'd wait for her no matter how long it took. I'd wait forever if I had to. She's worth it.
But the bases are loaded, and as we run toward the final out, we have no idea what's waiting on the other side."
"Alexis's father tells me he's going to ruin me.
He does not want his pop star daughter or her brand associated in any way with the bad boy of baseball.
I make it my mission to prove to her father that I'm not the bad guy he thinks I am. But he takes things a few steps too far, causing major issues that will affect my upcoming baseball season.
It's going to take a grand slam to make everything right again, but I will not give up on the woman I've fallen for."
"When a family emergency reminds us all how short life can be, Alexis's father moves up the wedding date.
She's forced to wrestle with her father's emotional manipulation as we fall harder and harder for one another and her wedding day moves closer. We're keeping a huge secret from her father and her rabid fan base, and we both feel the walls closing in on us.
And then my father shows up out of nowhere. He's set on ruining my life the way he says I ruined his, and he has the evidence to do it.
As her wedding date to another man looms closer and she assures me it's all a sham, I'm on deck as the man ready to step in and take my rightful place. But she has a choice to make, and it'll pit herself against the very brand she's worked so hard for.
On Deck is the third book in the Vegas Heat: Bases Loaded series. This series must be listened to in order."
"When her father orchestrates an engagement for business purposes, Alexis is forced to say yes publicly.
Now I'm the other man in this equation, and despite my reputation as the bad boy of baseball, I learned long ago to stay away from married women. But not everything is as it appears, and she isn't married yet, which forces me to confront my own morals and fears when it comes to relationships. And when she spends time with my family, we both feel how easy life would be together.
She says she wants to be with me, but we have to be careful. If I'm caught looking, it'll ruin both her brand and my reputation."
"I wasn't looking to change my 'bad boy of baseball' 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.
There's just one problem, and it's a big one. Her manager is also her boyfriend, and her father is her agent.
She's kept on a tight leash with her incredibly busy schedule, and I'm at the start of a new baseball season with a new team.
It's the worst time to explore this attraction with the wrong girl, but that doesn't 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 America's Sweetheart, the more I realize what the world knows of her is the carefully crafted façade of her brand… not the woman behind it all. But I'm getting to know the real Alexis, and I'm falling hard and fast for her.
Her father might be the one holding the ball, but I'm in a scoring position, and I won't let anything stop me from getting the win."
"A steamy pro football, second chance, single mom, single dad holiday romance from Amazon top ten bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
I never planned to give Austin Graham, the tight end for the Vegas Aces and the father of my little girl, a second chance this holiday season. After all, he messed up. Big time.
But the shimmering decorations on the Christmas tree cast him in a totally new light—especially when I get home from a disastrous blind date and find him on my couch with our sweet baby asleep on his chest.
He's not the villain he so easily plays, but coming in second to everyone his entire life has pushed him to act like a Grinch. I'm getting swept up watching him with our daughter, seeing his eyes twinkle in the Christmas lights, and feeling his hands caressing my skin.
Now, I need to figure out whether it's worth risking both my heart and my little girl's to show this second down Scrooge that he comes in first with us."
"Amazon Top Ten bestselling author Lisa Suzanne brings you a fiery enemies-to-lovers football romance series featuring a family rivalry and a second chance between a pro football head coach and his team's new sports correspondent.
The Vegas Aces could've hired anyone as their head coach. Despite my protests, they chose my enemy, Lincoln Nash.
With a family rivalry spanning two decades, I've been conditioned to hate the entire Nash family. But there's a special passion to my feelings for the new coach. He was my first when we were teenagers, and then he broke my heart.
When I land my dream job as the new team correspondent, my boss tells me that my job is to become best friends with the coach. When I snag the first exclusive interview with Lincoln, it'll be our first time in the same room together in nearly twenty years.
No matter how hard we try to keep it professional, sparks inevitably fly. A family feud may have torn us apart, but the biggest rivalry of all is going to be keeping my job as I fight my feelings for the new coach.
Rivalry is the first book in the Vegas Aces: The Coach series, which must be listened to in order."
"A trip across the country to cover an event plus one failed hotel room reservation means there's only one bed for me to share with the new Vegas Aces head coach.
We've been fighting each other nonstop as we push against the past, but it only takes one weekend for feelings two decades old to come rushing back.
We can't be together. The reasons keep stacking up, from our bitter family rivalry to the fact that he can't get involved with a member of the media to the accusations regarding the way I scored this job.
So my best friend proposes a fake relationship. He'll date her in public and come home to me, where we can get to know each other again and figure out whether there's a future for us.
I'm shocked when Lincoln agrees to the plan, but a scorned colleague of mine is watching our every move. We have to be careful or it'll become the kind of play call the coach will forever regret.
Play Call is the second book in the Vegas Aces: The Coach series, which must be listened to in order."
"One lapse in judgment has ripple effects I never saw coming.
Legal battles, jail time, and league punishments don't faze me as much as losing the two people who are most important to me.
I'm still learning how to navigate these relationships, especially as they've started to pay the price for my actions. The fear of losing them grows stronger each day, and I don't know how to fix things between us.
I'm determined to make forward progress and rebuild what I've destroyed. I just hope it isn't too late.
Forward Progress is the fourth book in the Vegas Aces: The Playbook series, which must be listened to in order."
"As I navigated this new life as a single dad, I thought I was fine. I thought nobody would come between us. But I was wrong.
It turns out greedy and selfish people are everywhere, and it's my job to fight them... to protect my daughter even as she hurls hurtful words at me and blames me for everything.
I never thought I'd have the sort of unconditional love I found when Harper and Victoria came into my life. Then I somehow managed to lose them both.
I won't give up. I will fight to bring them back into my arms and make things right again.
All I need is a little luck on my side... and maybe a field goal or two.
Field Goal is the final book in the Vegas Aces: The Playbook series, which must be listened to in order."
"I'm not sure how I ended up married to my sister's pro football player ex-fiancé, but my vicious hangover might have something to do with it.
It slowly comes back to me.
My family vineyard. A secret clause in my grandmother's will. An allergic reaction. Benadryl. Way too much tequila. And a wedding gown meant for someone else to wear in just a few days.
If I can get him to stay married to me for the next year, the vineyard will be mine, and my backstabbing sister will get exactly what she deserves… absolutely nothing. After that, we can go our separate ways and never speak of this drunken mistake again.
But for me, wedding the wide receiver might be the best mistake I've ever made. Now I just need to get him on the same page so we can rush toward our happily ever after."
