When carefree commitment-phobe Delilah needs a protector for the first time in her life, Boston's best (and hottest) MMA fighter, Luca, is more than willing to step into the role. Luca is no knight in shining armor and Delilah isn't the type to settle down - so why can't she imagine ever letting him walk away from her?

                                                                      *****

Delilah Sinclair has never wanted the commitment that comes with happily ever after. All her friends may be settling down, but Delilah is quite happy (for the most part) with her freedom. At least, she was until everything began to fall apart. When family drama creates a new danger in her life, safety comes in an unexpected form: Luca "Blaze" Buchanan-the best MMA fighter in Boston history. In the midst of sudden danger, he's exactly what Delilah needs to survive - even if he's more of a beast than a savior. As their slow-burning attraction sparks into something much hotter, even Delilah knows she's in deep. Delilah doesn't believe in forever, but with Luca by her side, a fairytale ending doesn't seem so impossible...

"You have lost your mind, what the hell do you think you're doing?" She yells at me. "Don't start with me." "I'm not starting shit, Elijah! This was supposed to be a night out and then you come along, you ruin everything!" The anger on her voice isn't lost on me, I've never heard her this mad before and she is dangerously attractive with the wild look in her eyes and slightly open mouth. "You shouldn't even be here! What the fuck do you mean a night out, have you gone insane?" I raise my voice unintentionally and she looks even more crazed than she did before. "That's rich, coming from the jerk who almost killed a guy minutes ago!" ********* Elijah Black is her first love. He is her only love.

Luca's husky voice brushed against Sienna's ear as he tightened his grip around her throat. "I let you off once for slapping me," he murmured, a dangerous edge in his tone. "But the next time you try that shit, I'll bend you over my knee and spank you so hard you won't be able to sit for a week." A gasp escaped her lips, his threat sending a tingle down her spine and an ache to her core, she clenches her legs .His low chuckle suggested he knew the effect his words had. "But something tells me you might just enjoy that, gattina," he whispered, his breath igniting a fire within her. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "In the heart of Los Angeles, Luca Catteneo reigns as the formidable leader of the city's most powerful mafia family.

~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires. It hypnotized me with its beauty and danger. It was so tantalizing to look at, but one little touch could destroy. I knew the heat between Tyler and I was similar. It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries. Her only responsibilities were to attend her college classes (sometimes) and keep herself fed (on ramen). When tragedy strikes, Pia is all of the sudden thrown into a whirlwind of change. She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice. But what happens when the ruggedly hot motocross athlete Tyler Westwood shows up in her small town? Tyler lives on the fast track, never caring too much about consequences. You can't when your job is to do backflips through the air. Sometimes, you just have to send it and hope for the best. From the second Tyler meets Pia, he knows he wants her. But she is determined to ignore their bubbling chemistry. She has priorities now and a summer fling isn't one of them. Will Pia be able to stay away from Tyler? Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************
