Cari Quinn

My name is Faith Keystone, but my friends call me Keys. I’m the piano player for Hammered. Did I mention I'm the only female in my band? That means I technically have five older brothers.  Can't forget my manager and security team, too. Alone time is nonexistent. I escaped an overbearing family to join this happy circus, and most of the time it's awesome. Except now, because of one teensy little incident at a show. Now I have this hulking bodyguard shadowing me like a freaking puppy. Only this puppy is more like a Doberman with an attitude problem. And he only knows one word NO. I hate that word. And I hate Quinn Alexander. The one thing I do like is giving him the slip. Is it wrong that I kinda like when he growls at me after he finds me? Because he always finds me.   Worst of all? I want him so bad that I keep forgetting I hate him.


"Intense and emotional! SHADOWBOXER is a knockout punch to the heart." Skye Warren, New York Times bestselling author I’m in for the fight of my life...with the man who only wants to be my lover. I’ve faced the darkest parts of life and survived. But now I’m starting a new life with my baby sister. And that means I need cash. Quick. To get the money I need, I’m going to beat the reigning king of the male fighters in New York’s underground MMA circuit, Tray “Fox” Knox. Tray refuses to fight a woman, until he learns I’m not what he expected. At all. Then he makes me a bet I can’t refuse. He’ll fight me, but if he wins, I will spend the night in his bed. All night long, his rules. No tapping out. I agree, certain he will lose. Because I have to win. I have no choice. What I didn’t realize is that Tray loves to fight dirty…and that this match may end up being the most important one of our lives. Author’s note: Shadowboxer is a full-length MMA novel and is book 1 in the Tapped Out MMA series. It has a happily ever after ending and no cliffhanger, though it contains violent material that may be triggering. It was previously published by Cari Quinn in 2014 and has been lightly re-edited.

I wouldn’t take no for an answer. Until he showed me more than I ever expected… I’m tired of playing it safe, and a big, brooding MMA fighter seems like the perfect cure for my all too predictable life. But Giovanni Costas is battling demons from his past he won’t share with me and has needs I’ve never been confronted with before. His dark and dangerous world intrigues me as much as it scares me, and I can’t help being fascinated. Unless he gives me no choice but to run right back to the security I’ve always known… Author’s note: This teaser novella we offer our readers as a bonus book. It occurs shortly after the end of SHADOWBOXER and hints at the events to come for Carly and Giovanni in book 3, ON THE ROPES. If cliffhangers and short teaser novellas aren’t your thing, check out ON THE ROPES for the rest of the Carly and Giovanni’s story (including a happily ever after!)

Librarian's Note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B015OBIIVC I've always been a good girl.

My enemy, my lover, my savior. He's only two out of the three, if only I can figure out which two before I end up on the streets or in jail. Or worse. A SIX PART SERIAL with dual points of view, lots of bad words, the creative use of glass-walled rooms, and a beach house that holds a whole lot of secrets. There are all sorts of cliffs in these books, some even include actual rocks. You have been warned.

My name is Hunter Jordan, lead singer of Hammered and no, I didn't name my c*ck Manaconda. Rolling Stone did. On the front cover of their damn magazine. I still haven't lived it down. And now our record label wants to maximize the frenzy. So, I have a brand new PR person–Kennedy McManus. And she's making me insane.

A hot night in Vegas is just what the rockstar ordered…until someone ends up married. Michael Shawcross is living the dream, opening up for his idols, Oblivion, on his band Warning Sign’s first tour. Until an overzealous fan goes too far and his hard-partying ways catch up to him in the form of an ultimatum from his manager, Lila Crandall. Clean up your image—or else. Single mom Chloe Adams is in Vegas for a rare girls’ night out. She wasn’t ever supposed to be attracted to another rockstar. In fact, she’s in rockstar rehab, and the cure for her addiction definitely isn’t a sexy, smart-assed guitarist with wicked fingers. She never expects to accidentally end up his wife. Or to have her new husband suddenly decide that she’s the solution to all his problems. And surprise…he’s happy to show his appreciation in a number of interesting, inventive ways. Pretending their marriage is real might just be the hottest proposition she’s ever been given. But what happens when a lie becomes the truth?

She’s too young for him. Pregnant. And irresistible. Bodyguard Sterling Vance’s job becomes personal when the daughter of a friend, Angelina McFee, admits she’s being stalked by her ex. Angelina is knocked up and oh yeah, temporarily without a place to live. Then her daddy’s seemingly conservative friend offers to help with her stalker problem... by moving her into his home so he can guard her and her unborn baby. With his body. Only problem with that scenario? Angelina wants Sterling to use his body all right, but in a carnal fashion not suitable for his prim and proper lifestyle.  Until she messages him incognito on a dating site and discovers Sterling can get down and dirty in ways she never imagined. Tie optional.  But falling for him? That’s not optional at all. Sterling wants to build a family with Angelina and longs to be a father to her baby. But the woman he loves is in danger and the secrets she’s keeping — both in and out of bed — may jeopardize both her and her child’s lives.

The gorgeous, off-limits woman he grew up with and grew to have a baseball-sized…thing for is being stalked. Not that Cass ever would guess he has the hots for her. She’s too busy hating him. Cass came to Jax for help because she trusts him. She also can’t stand him for leaving town without keeping in touch. And now the dirty-talking, pompous jerk had the nerve to make her want to forget all their bad blood. At least long enough to get naked a time or seventeen. But Jax will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Because this time, he’s pulling out all the stops to win Cass’s heart…if he can catch her stalker before it’s too late.
