Book Description
The BADDEST boys on the planet have finally met their match in The Burton Brothers Series boxset... The Fighter’s Fierce Temptation Alice hates fighters. They're arrogant, broody, and have an ego to match their hulking muscles. Not to mention her scumbag ex was one of them… But when her dad, a legendary MMA trainer, suffers a stroke and the medical bills start piling up, she's forced to start training one of the infamous Burton Brothers. All she needs to do is pretend to be her dad for a few days. But from the moment Bryant Burton shows up at the gym, all bets are off. With his taut muscles, steely gray eyes, and simmering strength, fighting his pull is going to be the biggest challenge of all. The Fighter’s Stubborn Lover Avery Caldwell will do anything to save her younger brother from the violent world of fighting. Only one thing stands in her way: renowned fighter Mason Burton. Avery already lost one brother to fighting and she’s determined to save the other. All she has to do is persuade his trainer, superstar Mason Burton, to talk her baby brother out of the ring. She wasn’t counting on Mason being the tallest, strongest, sexiest man she’s ever seen, but that won’t change her mind. She’ll just have to ignore her unexpected feelings for the charming fighter and do what she came to do. The Fighter’s Secret Child A few years ago, Rachel strutted around the ring wearing next to nothing. Now she’s back with Beck’s baby… and he’s not letting her go. Ex-ring girl Rachel St. Martin used to love the thrill of MMA, but there was only one fighter she ever fell for. With his deep blue eyes and rippling muscles, Beck Burton stole her heart. But when she got pregnant, one taste of his explosive temper was enough to know she couldn’t have him around her child. She already lived through that with her own father. She swore she’d never go back, but with baby Chaz in need of a bone marrow transplant, Beck may be her son’s only chance. The Fighter’s Defiant Lover Vegas dancer Jasmine has never been shy about getting what she wants. And with her drug-dealing ex and his goon after her, what she wants is to have her ex out of the picture. Permanently. She’s looking for help from her friend Rachel and the hard-hitting Burton brothers, but it’s rising MMA star Dustin Caldwell who literally sweeps her off her feet. With a body to die for and looks that kill, Dustin presents a whole different kind of danger.

The Brothers K

Languages : en
Pages : 654
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK Once in a great while a writer comes along who can truly capture the drama and passion of the life of a family. David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer. And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality. This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family. A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident. A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past. Four brothers who come of age during the seismic upheavals of the sixties and who each choose their own way to deal with what the world has become. By turns uproariously funny and deeply moving, and beautifully written throughout, The Brothers K is one of the finest chronicles of our lives in many years. Praise for The Brothers K “The pages of The Brothers K sparkle.”—The New York Times Book Review “Duncan is a wonderfully engaging writer.”—Los Angeles Times “This ambitious book succeeds on almost every level and every page.”—USA Today “Duncan’s prose is a blend of lyrical rhapsody, sassy hyperbole and all-American vernacular.”—San Francisco Chronicle “The Brothers K affords the . . . deep pleasures of novels that exhaustively create, and alter, complex worlds. . . . One always senses an enthusiastic and abundantly talented and versatile writer at work.”—The Washington Post Book World “Duncan . . . tells the larger story of an entire popular culture struggling to redefine itself—something he does with the comic excitement and depth of feeling one expects from Tom Robbins.”—Chicago Tribune
