No Mercy

2020

When it comes to protecting his angel, he has no mercy. Gabriel: The first time I saw her, she made my pulse dance to a rhythm that matched the sway of her hips. The second time I saw her, she was in the arms of my best friend. That broken, rusty organ in my chest hasn’t beaten since. Blood doesn’t run through these veins, it’s pure, unleaded determination. I’ve fought my whole life. For safety. For Food. For my family. Five years later, I'm fighting for my position in the MMA world. No distractions. Only, my angel needs me, and that tin can behind my ribs found its beat again. Francesca: Gabriel “No Mercy” Stone earned his fight-name long before he entered the octagon. He’s been a thorn in my side for years. He takes pleasure in proving his nickname to me at every turn. He’s relentless. He’s heartless. Until one day he’s not. It took the worst day of my life for Gabriel to show me mercy. Broken and afraid, I let him piece me back together. He offers me everything yet promises nothing. When a man shows he has no mercy, you should believe him. D.M. Davis’ No Mercy is a heart-wrenching, enemies to lovers, sexy, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project, and is the first book in the Black Ops MMA series.

D.M. Davis’ ROWDY is a messy, meant-for-me, sexy, contemporary romance and Book Two in the Black Ops MMA series. ROWDY: You think this is a love story. You’re wrong. It’s a massacre. A massacre of who I think I am, where I come from, and who I thought I’d have a future with. One wouldn't have me. The other couldn't. Both stole my heart. You think you know me. You have no idea. REESE: He thinks I'm a lion. I'm really a mouse, afraid of the demons nipping at my heels. No one can touch me. No one except him. I don't fear his touch. I crave it. Darkness is my enemy, yet his shadow doesn't scare me. He's the only dark I'm not afraid of. When their pasts threaten to topple their future, can the lion and her beast prevail or will the darkness overtake them?

2021

D.M. Davis’ CAPTAIN is a heart-wrenching, sexy contemporary romance full of forgiveness, second chances, and healing, and Book Three in the Black Ops MMA series. Sometimes you have to break to become the person you're meant to be. CAP: I'm a bastard by birth. Heartless by choice. Love abandoned me a long time ago. Good riddance. I have my family-by-choice. I don't need more. Until she crept in, sank in deep, latched on, and stayed. She's as broken as the day is long. Yet I can't resist the pull to get her in my bed, in my heart, piecing me back together—for she's not the only one broken. CHER: I'm over men. Destruction and pain are all they bring. Been there. Done that. Check please. Yet there is one—so many years later—who looks at me like I'm a goddess. Who makes me feel like I have something to offer, that I'm exactly who he wants. Can two lonely souls come together to discover the broken have more pieces to love, or will they pass on finding their forever love?

Cowboy

2022

D.M. Davis' COWBOY is an angsty, heart twisting, second chance, contemporary, sports romance and Book Four in the Black Ops MMA series. I was young and naïve when I met my other half. I was a good guy, full of hopes and dreams. Falling head over heels for my Songbird. She stole my breath. Rocked my world. Then she trampled my heart the day she disappeared, ghosted me. Her absence haunted me, tainted my future, destroyed my dreams, left me fighting for steady ground. Years later, she shows up where I least expect, belonging to those who can make or break my MMA career, or worse, get me disowned from my family by choice. She acts like I don’t exist, like she doesn’t know me, like she doesn’t remember the love we shared. I’m good with that. I have every intention of leaving her in my past where she belongs. And yet… I can’t stop the wanting, the craving, the claiming. Nothing could have prepared me for the truth of why she left, what happened afterwards, or the shattering journey that brought her back to me. Some secrets are worse than the perceived truth. The Black Ops MMA books are integrated standalones with subplots that carry through from book 1 to book 4. For maximum enjoyment, I suggest the Black Ops MMA Series be read in order to fully experience the world and the characters who inhabit it, beginning with NO MERCY. Intended for mature audiences. Some scenes may contain triggers. Content warning: sexual assault, stalking Black Ops MMA Series: NO MERCY ~ ROWDY ~ CAPTAIN ~ COWBOY COMING Jun 9, 2022!

Mustang

2023

My mangled heart beats for her, but hers beats for him… And maybe me. I’ve never been one for norms. I fight and bake for a living. Why should I expect my sex-life to be any different? And I don’t mean love-life. I don’t do love. I’ve been there. Done that. My heart is mangled for a reason. My best friend, Walker, and I like to share… As in together. I'm a transactional, one-time only kinda guy. Then we met her. She set off a seismic tremor that threatened to crumble the wall around my heart. She haunts my thoughts, sinking under my skin like a demon. Unrelenting. Remorseless. I hate how easily thoughts of her sway my body and mind. It’s a constant battle of wills between what I want and what I can have. She’s not meant for me. I’m not her forever, regardless of Walker or my treacherous heart trying to convince me otherwise. I’m her right now—that’s all I can ever be. D.M. Davis' MUSTANG is an angsty, heart clenching, why-choose, contemporary sports romance that has Jess fighting his desires, Walker praying he won’t be forgotten, and Berklyn willing to lose them both because she won’t choose one over the other. Buy now to get lost in this steamy why chose romance with all the feels. MUSTANG is Book Five and the last in the Black Ops MMA series.
