Jackson's Trust

2016

New York Times bestselling author Violet Duke kicks off her fun and sexy new Fourth Down series with a heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance between a no-strings-attached sports analyst and the hottest damn tomboy he’s ever met. It’s no secret that sports analyst Jackson Gray doesn’t do relationships. What is a secret, however, is the reason why. Jackson’s life is . . . complicated. And it doesn’t help that his current hands-off “friendship” is with the cute-as-hell new sideline reporter he’s assigned to train. Turns out, not only is the woman damn sweet, she also knows as much about football as he does. Like it or not though, Jackson has to remind himself that sex is the only thing he has to offer . . . until now. Leila Hart’s fast-growing friendship with Jackson is something she’d never risk, no matter how unbelievably seductive the reward. Becoming an NFL sportscaster has always been the goal, and thanks to Jackson’s fierce support and mentoring, it all finally seems within reach. Problem is, a girl can only take so much of that sexy-as-sin voice whispering dirty, filthy football stats in her ear before she loses all self-control. A workplace romance with Jackson is a disaster waiting to happen, especially for someone with big dreams . . . and secrets of her own.

Bennett's Chance

2017

From the bestselling author of Jackson’s Trust—hailed by Kendall Ryan as “hot, sweet, and swoon-worthy”—the fun, sexy Fourth Down series continues with two people who prove that two wrongs sometimes do make a right. Mia Carlton, reclusive heiress and charity do-gooder extraordinaire, needs a man to help her stay single. After barely dodging a ten-carat proposal for a future she doesn’t want, Mia becomes the unwilling focus of her family’s endless matchmaking shenanigans. Thankfully, an outrageously sexy knight-in-shining-armor has a solution: He’ll run interference on the matchmaking if she helps him win the construction bid for the sports complex being built on his childhood stomping grounds. It’s a win-win . . . what could go wrong? Bennett Rivera grew up watching rich folks treat his parents like second-class citizens. So the last thing he expects is to strike up a business deal with the unexpectedly sweet, Chanel-clad hostess of his buddy’s NFL charity—let alone to fall for her. Bennett always envisioned himself giving up his playboy ways for a girl-next-door type, and Mia’s nothing like that. But when all their secrets are revealed, Bennett realizes that they have more in common than he assumed—and that the woman who couldn’t be more wrong for him might actually be the one he’s been searching for all along.
