Love to the Extreme

Mac "The Snake" Hannon has spent years throwing himself into cage fighting as a way to lash back at the natural disaster that destroyed his future. A call for help has Mac returning to the one place he swore never to return: Kansas-in the height of tornado season. There he meets free-spirited Gayle Matthews. At first he wants nothing to do with the infuriatingly persistent woman, but the crazy challenges she tosses his way are impossible to resist. As she thaws years of bitterness, bringing back the Mac he believed long gone, he starts to make peace with the past and see the future again. Until he learns she chases his worst nightmare-then he can't get away fast enough. Meteorologist and storm chaser, Gayle Matthews is no stranger to being left behind and now believes in living in the moment. She wants to do just that with the handsome extreme fighter with the achingly sad eyes. As she works to replace the sorrow with desire, she finds herself breaking her one rule: have fun but don't fall in love. When he suddenly pushes her away and she discovers the horrifying reason why, she issues one more challenge: face his fear and come on a chase with her. Contains mature themes.

She's a mystery he can't resist . . . Doctor Ella Watts wants her old life back. Desperately. But the past has returned for its rematch, and going back home-even telling anyone her real name-isn't an option until she's confident in her MMA abilities. Personal trainer Lance Black is the man to help her reach her goals. Not only is he toned, muscular, and gorgeous, he's patient, a great teacher, and willing to treat her like a worthy opponent. Except his size makes her freeze whenever he gets too close. If Ella can't learn how to overcome her fear of being attacked, she'll never be able to move on with her life. Underground fighter Lance Black knows there's more to the mysterious blonde ninja than a beautiful woman determined to improve her fighting skills. She can best anyone close to her size-man or woman-but insists on working out with him, even though he's got a good seventy pounds and several inches on her. Despite her reticence, he's determined to get her to open up so he can help her get over her mental block. And if that means he can get to know her outside the gym, all the better. As long as she never learns his secrets. Contains mature themes.

Brody Minton has loved Scarlett Harris for years. But she's his best friend's wife, so he's worked hard to keep his distance. Hearing the marriage is over shouldn't change anything.

All Scarlett Harris wants is to get away for a while and rethink her life after filing for divorce from her lying, cheating bastard of a husband. The gorgeous Bahamas sounds like the perfect escape, except she's booked in the very resort Brody "The Iron" Minton is staying at for his sister's wedding. Now her ex's best friend is dogging her every move, and is a witness to her first pathetic attempts at flirting in years. If Brody isn't going to leave her alone, then she'll just recruit him to help get her reacquainted with her single self. Contains mature themes.
