Waking up in Bex’s bed is a nightmare I’ll never forget. Now she seems to pop up everywhere I turn. And the more I get to know her, the more I like her. How had I never noticed her before? She shoves off every attempt I make to get close, and I don’t blame her. When I met her I was after her cousin. I’m stuck on the sideline waiting for my chance to get back in the game with the right girl. Jocks suck. Does Loren really expect me to believe he wants to be my friend? If he thinks he can use me to get closer to my cousin, he’s a fool. She’d step over my dead body to get to better selfie lighting. He doesn’t let up, and his attention confuses me. Because guys like Loren aren’t attracted to girls like me. I’m already an outcast. Giving Loren a chance would mean social suicide.

Theodore is every father’s nightmare and my sweetest revenge. I was nine years old when my dad broke my heart. Ten years later I finally get my chance to break his. And what better way to hurt him than to mess with the only thing he’s ever loved—his football team. Seducing the team’s star quarterback is easy. Throwing him into my dad’s face? Even easier. Letting him go proves much more difficult. Coach warned me to stay away from his daughter. At first glance Emery is the farthest from what I would consider my type—sweater sets, pleated slacks, and a boarding school pedigree. Ignoring her should’ve been easy. I tried. I really did. Some people are worth ruining lives for, even if one of those lives is my own.

I never should’ve loaned him my lucky pencil. Like every female in high school I was captivated when he spoke to me. I had no idea that moment would cause irrevocable damage. Over two years later I’m face to face with Carey Slade again. This time I won’t get caught up in his good looks and oozing charm. I work three jobs and get straight A’s. I can’t afford to get distracted. Not again. Rowan and I have history. History I plan to take to the grave. My football career depends on me passing a class and Rowan is assigned as my tutor. I never thought I’d see her again after high school. She’s different from the girl I remember—confident, smokin’ hot, funny as hell. I’m the man responsible for ruining her life. If I have my way, she’ll never find out.

She would be my end game. I just didn’t know it yet. Ophelia asked me for one simple favor—to get the guy she’s in love with to notice her. It won’t be easy; she looks as if she’s spent her whole life trying to disappear. But I never turn down a challenge. Convincing anyone I’ve given up all women for this one woman is my biggest challenge yet. I agree to help her win over the man of her dreams. The problem is she quickly becomes the only woman staring in mine. She offered to pay me. In the end, I want the one thing she plans to give to someone else. Her heart. End Game is a fake-dating, opposites attract, college/new adult romance featuring a charismatic hero and a wallflower heroine entangled in an arrangement neither could have prepared for.

Remembering her will either be his salvation…or his downfall… Rex You don’t have to remember the past to be haunted by it. I’m proof of that. I don’t remember the demons of my childhood, but I know they’re there. Why else would I need pain to feel anything? A punch to the jaw, the sting of a tattoo needle, the heat from a piercing…only pain can jolt me back from the numbness. Until I found her… Mac I’ve stalked him for years. Waited for the right time to make amends. We shared horrors most people couldn’t fathom. I’ve lived his pain every day. And he doesn’t remember me at all. I wish I could forget, too. Our past, the ways he’s changed, how he makes me feel…all of it. But I can’t… He’s spent a lifetime fighting to forget. Now he’ll have to decide if remembering the past—and taking a shot at happily ever after with Mac—is worth the potentially devastating cost. Fighting to Forget, book 3 in the Fighting series, is an emotional, angsty, contemporary, steamy, sports/MMA romance with a guaranteed HEA. Download today and get ready to fall for Rex and Mac.
