“Then Mo’s right. Alcohol, stat,” Noah said.
They headed out and rejoined the others. Food and beer and conversation flowed for hours, until the hanging lanterns came on and the sun set over the big back yard.
Boom. Poppoppop. Boom!
Noah flinched, caught off guard even though he’d known there would be fireworks tonight.
His heart beat triple-time as Kristina squeezed his hand. “Sure you want to stay?” she asked.
He heaved a breath and swallowed down the knee-jerk anxiety that tried to climb up his throat. Noise-canceling headphones had gotten him through the Fourth of July, but tonight, he’d wanted to try. He’d gained a shit-ton of insight into the way his mind worked now, and he’d come a million miles over the past few months. But he was still on the journey, and maybe always would be.
So instead of leaving, he focused on his breathing, on keeping himself grounded in the real world, on remaining in the here and now. With all these people who cared about him, and about whom he cared in return. “I think I’ve got this.”
“I know you do,” Kristina said, kissing him.
Everyone shifted in their seats to get good views of the bursts of color lighting up the September night.
Noah settled between Kristina’s legs and rested his back against her front. She wrapped her arms around him, her firm embrace helping to hold him together when he couldn’t quite manage it himself.
And that was the moment he knew the truth down into his very soul. “I want to stay right here,” he said, peering up at her. “In your arms. Because this is right where I’m supposed to be.”

Resisting her only makes him want her more...
Private investigator Billy Parrish’s is good at three things—fighting, investigating, and sex. MMA training with the other vets in the Warrior Fight Club keeps his war-borne demons at bay—mostly, and one night stands ensure no one gets too close. But then his best friend from the Army Rangers calls in a favor.
Shayna Curtis is new to town, fresh out of grad school, and full of hope for the future. With a new job starting in a month, she’s grateful when her brother arranges a place for her to stay while she apartment hunts. But she never expected her roommate to be so brooding. Or so sexy.
Billy can’t wait for Shay to leave—because the longer she’s there, the more he wants her in his bed. To stay. He can’t have her—that much he knows. But when fight club stops taking off the edge, Billy lets down his guard…and starts fighting for what’s his.
Fighting the Fire - Coming Fall 2018
The more they fight, the more desire consumes them...
There’s only one thing firefighter Sean Riddick doesn’t like about Warrior Fight Club, and that’s Daniela England, the sexiest, snarkiest, most irritating woman he’s ever known. But MMA training keeps the Navy vet grounded, so Sean’s not about to give it up, no matter how many times he goes toe to toe with Dani—or how bad he wants to take her to the mats.
A former Army nurse and the widow of a fallen soldier, Dani is done with the military and with military men. Fight club is the only thing that eases her nightmares, which means she has to put up with Riddick. He might be sex on a stick, but he’s infuriating and everything she’s vowed to avoid.
But when a crisis throws Sean and Dani together, all that fight bursts into a night of red-hot passion. Now they’re addicted to the heat and must decide if the one person they’ve most resisted might be exactly what they’ve both been looking for.
Worth Fighting For - March 2019
A crossover story with Kristen Proby’s Big Sky Series - now available for preorder!
Getting in deep has never felt this good…
Commercial diving instructor Tara Hunter nearly lost everything in an accident that resulted in her medical discharge from the navy. With the help of the Warrior Fight Club, she’s fought to overcome her fears and get back in the water where she’s always felt most at home. At work, she’s tough, serious, and doesn’t tolerate distractions. Which is why finding her gorgeous one-night stand on her new dive team is such a problem.
Former navy deep-sea diver Jesse Anderson just can’t seem to stop making mistakes—the latest being the hot-as-hell night he’d spent with his new partner. This job is his second chance, and Jesse knows he shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. But spending every day with Tara’s smart mouth and sexy curves makes her so damn hard to resist.
Joining a wounded warrior MMA training program seems like the perfect way to blow off steam—until Jesse finds that Tara belongs, too. Now they’re getting in deep and taking each other down day and night, and even though it breaks all the rules, their inescapable attraction might just be the only thing truly worth fighting for.
