When Jacqueline (Jax) Warren is in a serious motorcycle accident, firefighter Ryan Hudson is the first to arrive at the scene. Ryan takes a special interest in Jax, particularly when he discovers that her stepmother shows little interest in her. But Jax learned early in life that she can't rely on other people, and her six-year-old half-brother is the only person she cares about.
Ryan convinces her to celebrate Thanksgiving with him and his family, to show her that not all families are like the one she's known. When he presents her with an unexpected gift, she finally lets him into her life and her heart.

Merciless
I'm not always the hero. Sometimes, I'm merciless. My whole life I've been the good guy-loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter-but in the bedroom I'm someone else. That's where my inner villain likes to come out and play. With a kink as taboo as mine, it's too risky to play with anyone who doesn't crave it like I do, so I've gotten used to depriving that side of me. Then I see HER. She's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She's everything I could ever want and thought I would never find. Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive-and soon my soul is demanding to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart, but I won't give up on our future. For her, I will fight. And I will be...MERCILESS. NOTE: This is the first 7 chapters of Merciless, broken into 10 smaller installments, meant to give readers a chance to "test drive" the book for free. Merciless is book 3 in the Playboys in Love series, however it can be read as a stand-alone. It's available to purchase on all major platforms (Amazon, B&N, iTunes, Kobo).
