Lauren Jefferson is a sweet, sexy woman who has always had terrible luck in life. She started "exotic dancing" when she was sixteen to keep a roof over her and her mother's head. Now she's twenty, fed up with her worthless, drug abusing mother, and trying to claw her way out of her shitty life. Tyler Evans is a cocky police officer who responds to Lauren's accident on Friday the thirteenth, when some idiot runs a red light and hits her. Sparks fly, and Tyler and Lauren make plans to meet up later that night. Unfortunately, duty calls, and Tyler gets held up at work. While waiting for Tyler to show up to the bar, Lauren is approached by Caleb, a gorgeous man who says all the right things. Giving up on her MIA LEO, Lauren is instantly drawn to the fun loving Caleb, and looking forward to seeing where the night takes the two of them. As luck would have it, when Tyler finally shows up at the bar an hour late, he's shocked to find Lauren in the arms of another man. Not just any man, but his best friend. After Lauren holds back from Caleb the reason she showed up at the bar in the first place, Tyler gives up and cuts his losses, at least until Caleb brings Lauren home. Lauren can't stop thinking about Tyler, but at the same time she's also falling for Caleb. Her indecision leads her to cross a few lines, and when Caleb heads off to basic training for ten weeks, Tyler and Lauren can't help themselves. When Caleb returns home, he's not ready to throw in the towel and walk away. Caleb convinces Tyler to take a gamble, giving Lauren a chance to start over and date both of them at the same time. Tyler wants to be 100% sure that he's the only man for Lauren, so he agrees to foolishly share her with Caleb. After that, all bets are off. Emotions run high, and somehow the three will end up in a no holds barred game, where the winner takes all. less

Will Reavis is the last man standing. All of his lifelong friends are settling down, and seem nauseatingly happy with their significant others. Even his little sister Jules recently married, taking off with Will’s best friend. While Dylan and Jules are away on their honeymoon, they leave their penthouse apartment and expensive vehicles in Will’s care. After a night on the town with his new wingman, criminal defense attorney Joe Montgomery, Will meets the woman of his dreams. Knowing a beautiful woman like Lacy would never go for a normal, nothing-special guy like him for more than a one-night stand, Will let’s her believe that all of Dylan’s riches are his own. Lacy Pierce is newly single and not looking to settle down anytime soon. Why would she do something so foolish, when she knows how things always end? Her own father had affairs on her mother, and her famous football playing ex-boyfriend Zack Bradford cheated on her repeatedly during the year they were together. Will seems like Zack’s opposite, and even better, he looks … safe. When she finds out the cute, unassuming, intelligent guy is actually the first man that can show her the wild passion she’s been missing out on, she reconsiders her no commitment rule. That is until she finds out Will has lied to her, and only sees her as a one-night fling. Fate eventually steps in to bring the two back together. When Lacy agrees to help out in her father’s law firm during the summer, she has no idea that the young attorney she’ll be working for is none other than Joe Montgomery, Will’s good friend. She’s also surprised to find out that Will is actually the IT guy for her father’s firm, when their paths cross once again. After Lacy and Will get hot and heavy in public one night, they not only end up with criminal charges, Lacy’s father puts an end to idea of them continuing a relationship. He threatens to have Will, Joe, and Will’s friend and Joe’s assistant, Jess, all fired. Unwilling to risk the consequences, Lacy tries to stop thinking about Will. Her hot new boss makes for a pretty nice distraction, and the two pass the time teasing and flirting with each other. Things begin to get complicated with Lacy and Joe, especially when it becomes clear that her and Will aren’t over. Will does a little soul-searching and decides that he’ll do whatever it takes to have the woman of his dreams … even if that means indulging in some of her naughtier fantasies! But all relationships are fragile, and when Lacy finds out that the only two men she’s ever trusted have both conspired to betray her, it’ll take a tragedy to help her see that the ones we love occasionally deserve our forgiveness. Lacy will also find out the hard way that her wild and foolish decisions will eventually catch up with her, impacting all the men in her life.

The quarterback previously named Rookie of the Year and deemed the Sexiest Man Alive is on top of the world. Or at least he was, until he gets hit by a scandal that could end his career. To keep his multi-million dollar contract with the family oriented Wildcats, Zack has to improve his playboy image, starting with settling down with one woman…and he must do so in less than a week's time! Natalie Adair's life changed dramatically when she found out she had breast cancer at the young age of twenty-one. Deciding to dedicate her second chance at life helping others, Natalie accepts a job at one of the nation’s largest breast cancer foundations, devoting her time to helping other women find and treat cancer early on. The organization's most lucrative fundraiser every year is the auction of autographed team merchandise by pro football players, and this year Natalie's in charge of the event. Not only is it a great cause, but the event provides Natalie with the opportunity to get up close and personal with incredibly hot players, including the quarterback from college who swept her off her feet with a kiss of epic proportions. After her and Zack Bradford's kiss in their sophomore year, Natalie went right back to being invisible…that is, until their two paths cross again. Zack can't believe his luck when a beautiful saint, one that actually works for a cancer charity for Christ’s sake, practically falls into his lap. She is just the woman he needs to save his job. The only problem? The tiny, feisty, and somewhat familiar blonde flat out turns him down. Zack welcomes the challenge of having to actually work to woo a woman for once, but he warns Natalie that once he decides he wants to play, he only plays to win. Will Natalie be able to resist Zack's persistence and charisma, or will she overcome her insecurities and end up falling for the player? less

Famous wide receiver Jake Young is an enormous pain in the ass. Addison James wishes she’d known that important little fact before she signed up to be his morality babysitter for a hundred grand. At the time it seemed like an enormous amount of easy money to earn in just a few short weeks. But now she knows that ten times that much wouldn’t be enough to deal with this sexist jerk.

Although, he can admit that she’s sexy as hell. But despite their constant fighting, he’s stuck with her for the next six weeks if he wants to keep his football contract with the Wildcats.

This is an All In NOVELLA, not a full length book. It contains characters that originally appeared in All In: Playing to Win, the fifth book in the series. less
