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...

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1) by shadowed_descent

She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.

24 parts Complete Mature
After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).

Piper Walsh has always been a fighter. No matter how many times life has knocked her down, she's always gotten back up, her smile never faltering. So when she scores an internship in NYC for her final year of visual arts at Columbia, she's ready to take on the world-even if it means leaving her brothers and everything she knows behind. Things get complicated when a housing mix-up leaves Piper stranded without her best friend and instead crashing with five of New York City's most notorious-and ridiculously attractive-bikers. But these guys aren't what they seem. Beneath the tough exteriors and tattoos, Piper discovers they're more like a pack of lovable, overprotective misfits than anything else. All except for Greyson Lowell. He's broody, standoffish, and frustratingly gorgeous-every bit the bad boy with a past he's not willing to talk about. Greyson has a way of looking at her that sends shivers down her spine, but getting close to him is like trying to crack a safe that's been welded shut. He's sworn off happiness, carrying the weight of a tragedy he can't seem to forget, and Piper's sunny smile only seems to remind him of what he thinks he doesn't deserve. But Piper isn't one to back down from a challenge. With her heart on her sleeve and kindness in spades, she's determined to break through Greyson's walls. And as sparks fly and tensions build, Piper discovers that there's more to Greyson than meets the eye-and that sometimes, the toughest hearts are just waiting for the right touch to open up.

~ 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? ***************************************************
