Phoenix Rising (Blake)

Reeling from the death of her daring Navy SEAL brother, reserved McKenzie Prescott decides to honor him in the only way she can think of-by finishing his bucket list. Suddenly, she's doing things she's never dreamed of-like jumping off waterfalls . . . and inviting the intoxicating stranger she meets in Las Vegas to help her with some of the more racy items on the list . . . Noah Payne used to be a Navy SEAL . . . until his job cost him his family. Now he wants revenge, and he's not above playing dirty to get it. His current mission-to find a missing shipment of guns-is the last piece of the puzzle. But his only lead is Liam Prescott's bucket list. Noah figures that by getting close to Liam's sister, McKenzie, he'll soon get his hands on the list. Only keeping his hands off a suddenly sexy McKenzie is turning out to be the real challenge! Contains mature themes.

Gemma Ward, an outgoing and strong-willed wedding photographer, goes through men like she goes through thongs, forever looking for a guy who can handle her. She's about given up on love when she meets Declan, the sophisticated father of one of her clients. He's perfect for her, if only she can convince him she's not too young and inexperienced to meet his singularly erotic tastes. Then, like an answered prayer, Walker Kincaid shows up, looking for a place to stay while he investigates allegations surrounding the death of his SEAL brother, Liam Prescott. If anyone can tutor her in the art of the kind of power play Declan wants, it's Walker, her best friend and partner in crime since high school. But what starts as friendly lessons in forbidden pleasure soon turns into something more . . . leaving Gemma to wonder if the lover she's been looking for has been right in front of her all along. Contains mature themes.

Never Underestimate the Power of F*ck It It's the motto I live by, and it's what made me the Navy SEAL I am today. The less you care, the better. Even when I woke up in a hospital in India with no memory of the last few months and everything pointing to me being a traitor involved with some pretty dangerous people, I knew I could handle it. Then they kidnapped Charlotte-my little sister's best friend, and a control freak with a fear of commitment to anything but her ten-year plan. I can't remember what I've supposedly done, or who's trying to kill us. All I know is I have to rescue her and get us both out of this mess alive. But I hadn't counted on Charlotte having her own agenda. She's haunted my dreams for months, and now she's making my reality a living hell. Because Miss Always-in-Control is hellbent and determined to lose that control she holds on to so tightly . . . and she wants to lose it with me. Contains mature themes.
