Flatiron Five Fitness (Portuguese)

Straight out of college, five friends with a dream joined forces to build success. Ten years later, their exclusive fitness club, Flatiron Five Fitness, is the hottest destination in Manhattan. People flock to F5F to get fit, to get lucky, and even, to fall in love. The founding partners have been immune to F5F's romantic spell-at least, so far... Tyler McKay has a plan... And it doesn't include a serious relationship anytime soon. Between his day job and being a partner at Flatiron 5 Fitness, he's busy investing in the future. But Ty knows that going stag to his sister's wedding will encourage the family matchmakers: he needs a fake date, fast, in self-defense. When the one woman who hates him walks into F5F, Ty knows he's found the perfect candidate-that Shannyn doesn't play by anyone's rules just leaves Ty wanting more... Shannyn Hawke is done with plans and dreams... She had her whole life mapped out, but it all went wrong. Now, she's taking care of number one and living in the moment, with no concern for the future. If her college crush wants to trade a fake wedding date for physical satisfaction, Shannyn is in. But just one night proves that Tyler is everything she believes a guy should be, plus he takes it as a challenge to change her mind about him. Shannyn never wants to have her heart broken again, but she's falling hard and fast. Can she remember that it's just for show? Or will Tyler convince Shannyn to take a chance on forever again?

Kyle wants it all... Kyle Stuyvesant doesn't believe in love and romance. His parents taught him there's no such thing as forever, and he took the lesson to heart. After all, there's only one woman who ever tempted him to want more than one hot night together. Fortunately for his convictions, she's married to another guy. Problem solved-until Lauren's husband cheats and Kyle isn't just the bearer of bad news, but the man she calls for comfort. Lauren demands his all... After Lauren's marriage implodes, she wants to lose herself in pleasure. Who knows that territory better than Kyle, who once seduced her completely? Lauren never forgot that wonderful night and, now that she's suddenly single, Kyle's rule of no love or romance has a new appeal. All she wants is satisfaction, but when Kyle realizes he needs more, will he be able to convince Lauren to take a chance on forever again, this time with him?

He doesn't expect to find such a willing, or seductive, volunteer. Haley loves solving mysteries… Especially ones like the gorgeous guy who visits her favorite patient every Friday night. He must be Natasha's son, but is he also the model on the billboard for that fitness club downtown? Where did he learn therapeutic massage? Even though she's a nurse, Haley's interest in him and his skill isn't just professional. She wants to feel those hands on her own skin, for as long as possible. One night, she takes a chance and asks for a lesson from him, only to discover that she has a hunger for the sensation only Damon can satisfy.
