Party Foul
* * *
Fiona needs to clean up her image. The bouncer who recently helped her out of a scrape is the perfect fake boyfriend for her daddy's big holiday to-do. Sure, he might be a bit rough around the edges, but he's handsome enough and mysterious enough to distract everyone from her party-girl reputation.
Levi has been a fixture at Crow Bar longer than any of the other bouncers at the city's toughest, rowdiest watering hole. Nobody messes with him, but more importantly, nobody messes with the patrons when he's around. When he helps a cute new customer out of a jam, he agrees to go to her daddy's holiday party as her fake boyfriend. When the sparks between them eventually turn to true feelings, things quickly go from helping her save face to helping save someone's life.

This series is gonna be trope-tastic, high heat, low angst and full of big bois fighting baddies...and sometimes each other. (Listen, I make no apologies for my yums.)

Dirty Martini
One of the most ruthless CEOs in Newcastle, Katie has made all of her dreams come true. Except one. She's always fantasized of having a secret, "kept" man at her beck and call, but so far, nobody fits the bill. After conducting a tense business meeting in a dockside neighborhood primed for new development, she dips into a dive bar for her favorite drink, and ends up making her ultimate wish come true.
Holden doesn't believe in true love, but he does believe taking advantage of an opportunity when one comes along. That opportunity appears in the form of a gorgeous older woman writing a check with more zeroes in it than he's ever seen in his life. When the wrong people find out his dirty little secret -- and his judgment gets clouded by obsession -- it puts everything and everyone they both love in danger.

Whiskey Sour
* * *
I don't even remember why I can't stand that bouncer named Dash, but natives in this south side neighborhood of Newcastle never do. They simply hand down their family's grudges from one generation to the next. OK, I admit I'm part of the problem. I may enjoy watching Dash walk away from an argument again and again, and maybe I should stop showing up at his bar to provoke him. But he sure is cute when he's angry.

Harper needs to stay away from Crow Bar if she knows what's good for her. Not only is her family sworn enemies of mine, but she's also in danger. But does she listen? No. I don't know how many ways I need to spell it out for her, but if she keeps coming in here with that wicked grin, a body built for trouble and a wit that makes it tough to maintain my composure, she's going to attract all the wrong kind of attention. And I'm the least of her problems.

Series description:
Crow Bar is the rowdiest bar in the city's toughest neighborhood, and its owner is known for employing the kinds of bouncers nobody wants to mess with. Dubbed the Crow Bar Brute Squad, these hardened heroes may have zero bandwidth for anyone's B.S., but they have nothing but time and intense devotion when it comes to the queens that they love.
* * *
The oceanside city of Newcastle has everything: glittering skyscrapers, gritty warehouses and everything in between. It's also full of characters that fall fast and hard -- into love, into bad decisions and into danger: Tough, blue-collar guys and even tougher, mouthy broads. When irresistible forces crash into immoveable objects, the resulting tales of love, friendship, and adventure will make you want to pack up and catch the next train to Newcastle. Bring a beach chair! (And maybe a helmet.)
