Ruck Me
(Dublin Rugby #2)
When these opposites attract, oh baby! It’s game on.
Free-spirited university student Aoife O’Shaughnessy has a problem: she’s still a virgin.
But that’s okay, she’s got a plan. She’s not looking for love or romance or a happily ever after. Just one hot night with a guy who won’t want to cuddle in the morning.
And preferably someone who doesn’t play for her big brother’s rugby team.
Eoin McGrath, Dublin Rugby’s hot new star, is basking in the spoils of his new-found success.
But when he hears Aoife’s plan to lose her virginity, he volunteers instead. They’re already friends, and he knows she’ll have a good time.
It all makes perfect sense.
Until one night of passion turns into a lifetime of commitment, and Eoin must confront his feelings for the pink-haired sprite he’s known his whole life.
Can their love survive a new job, rugby matches, angry older brothers … and five o’clock feedings?

SCRUMptious
(Dublin Rugby #3)
She’ll give him eight weeks. He’ll ask for forever.
One look at Donal Casey, Dublin Rugby’s cocksure young hooker, and Chef Lauren Andrews is in trouble.
The brash athlete with a sweet smile and talented mouth is everything she dreams about at night.
So even though Lauren’s only in Dublin for eight weeks, she gives in to his charms. One date leads to another, and soon she’s dreaming about other things.
On paper, everything about them is wrong. Everything but saying goodbye.
Playboy. Flirt. Womanizer.
Donal knows what they say about him, and he knows none of it’s true. Despite the parade of girls leaving his bedroom, he’d rather stay a virgin than wind up with a baby-mama claiming the kid is his.
But one flirty conversation with Lauren, the sexy American with curves to die for, and he’s all in. One kiss, and he yearns for something more.
Something lasting.
Now, Donal’s in for the match of his life, and he has no plans to lose. Even if it means leaving Dublin—and rugby—behind for good.

THE WIZARDS OF LONDON SERIES
Thieves’ Honor
Thomas Dalton, Earl of Westfield, is the heir to a duke and a talented wizard. But he’s always hidden in his library, too shy to emerge into society from the shadow of his larger-than-life friends and family. When he’s asked to investigate a crime, he seizes the chance to prove that he’s as cunning and brave as anybody. But he’s quickly out of his depth in London’s underground; especially when he’s confronted with the prettiest thief he’s ever seen.
Em Stackpole lives an in-between life; she grew up on the streets, but preys on the ton by using her skills at illusion to fit in among them at elegant Mayfair events. When Lord Westfield asks for her help finding a missing jewel, she strikes a bargain: she’ll help him learn to think like a criminal if he’ll teach her the magic she needs to get off the streets for good.
Falling in love was never part of the deal. But as Em and Thomas navigate magic, Mayfair, and Thomas’ charmingly interfering family, she’ll discover secrets she never knew she had—and the wizard and the thief will have to decide if they can ever be more than just partners in crime.
