DUKE: Faking the Play
#4 Callum Duquette. Placekicker for the Boston Tomcats. Former underwear model. NICKNAME: Duke.
I thought the most annoying thing about being a single dad was that my friends were always trying to find me a date. Until a sassy British ray of sunshine bumps into me at a bookstore. One accidental butt grab, a viral photo, and a lot of misunderstandings later, I find myself in a fake relationship with a movie star.
Now I’ve got my friends off my back, but the cheeky Brit has complicated my life even more.
She calls me the Duke of Grumpville.
I call her movies the end of civilization as we know it.
She calls my job “the wrong kind of football.”
I call her the one thing on Earth that can make me lose focus and control.
It’s getting harder to pretend I still want this to end after my team’s game in London.
I thought we were only faking it.
But getting to know the real Millie Darden changed everything.
Praise for Bright Light Dark Thunder
"Dark, emotional, and adrenaline-charged, this military romance blends high-risk action with fiery chemistry and a tragic, hard-won path to redemption."
- Brittney Sahin, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
"A standout debut from one of our most loved voices in romance! Told from the MMC POV, this gritty romantic suspense sucks the reader in from the gripping beginning and holds fast through every heart pounding turn. An unforgettable story of redemption and loyalty and finding love when you believe you deserve it least. I adored every second."
- A.L. Jackson, NYT and USA Today bestselling author
"Pick this one up, people. You won't regret it. The action is breathtaking and the prose is absolutely gorgeous. Walker is intense and brooding, but so tender. Naomi is fierce and clever, and the way these two fall is gorgeous. They need each other in so many ways that have nothing to do with how they're keeping each other alive." - Rebecca Quinn
The Blurb
Walker
I was a soldier. A terrible weapon forged in secret.
Now I'm a ghost.
I've exiled myself to a remote cabin in Montana, where I intend to live out the rest of my days, buried as deep as my secrets.
Until I run into a stunning woman in a prison uniform. Or rather she ran into me, a weapon in her hand and secrets of her own chasing her. Naomi Barrett is beautiful, smart, capable and in a whole lot of trouble.
I should leave well enough alone. But when I realize how much danger she’s truly in and that I’m the only man who can save her, I don’t have a choice. Some battles choose you. And when my past threatens her as well, I’m forced to become the soldier I swore I never would be again.
On the run, I’m fighting a losing battle against my own heart as I fall for the girl with pale blue eyes.
I’d burn down the world to keep her safe. Even if it costs me what’s left of my soul.
I was trained to be the perfect soldier. But I never expected to find someone worth fighting for.
