Exclusive Snippet #1: Notorious Man on Campus
Brick
As much as I like women physically, appreciate their beauty and sex appeal, enjoy their attention and adoration, I have no problem keeping them at arm’s length, strictly in the acquaintance and entertainment zone. I don’t even like to consider my friends’ girlfriends as friends and the only woman I have a modicum of trust and respect for is Magik.
I’ve kept my heart and soul—to the extent I have a heart and soul left--out of all relationships with females since step-mother #3 never answered the embarrassingly sappy letter I wrote her in second grade and Christmas went by without a call or even a card. It’s been easy to keep from getting involved in any way that matters, to stay firmly unattached.
Until Nyla. Now I’m involved even if my feelings are sheer disgust, even if our relationship is that of enemies. She’s under my skin and crawling all over me and that’s way too close for comfort. I don’t want to feel a thing for her, not even mild dislike or annoyance, let alone the hate that burns in my chest every time I lay eyes on her...

Release Date July 25th: Hot Shot Running Back -a Friends to Lovers Football Romance
George & Izzy's story
George
I thought I was hot shit on campus--until I met Jack Hunter.
He was a demi-god, a black hole on campus sucking up every girl in his orbit until they may as well be invisible.
Or until I may as well be invisible.
In spite of that, he's my best friend and I spend four years making do with his leftovers, consoling girl after girl once he's rejected them. It was a tough job, but I didn't mind it. Rich sarcasm here.
I didn't mind until it came to Izzy. She's my Achilles heel, the one girl I never let out of my sights no matter if she sees me or not, but she got sucked into Jack's orbit too and he doesn't let go of her easily.
Worse, she doesn't want to let go of him. She clings to his ghost even as I console her, even when she'll let me be no more than a friend.
I want to be okay with that. I don't want to hate my best friend. I don't want to see Izzy's heart broken.
But I abso-fucking-lutely do not want to be nothing more than a friend to her.
I need Izzy to choose me.
But how can I ever be sure I'm nothing more than leftovers?
Hot Shot Running Back is a spin-off story in the Big Men on Campus series world and can be read as a stand-alone. George & Izzy's story is a steamy college/new adult football romance where the hot friend finally wins the girl in a sizzling happy ever after ending.(Contains sex and language for a mature audience.)
Listen to the NEW Playlist songs!
To really sink into the emotions and let them have their way with you, to make you feel like you are living in the characters’ skins, I highly recommend you listen to these songs while you read–before and after too! 💜
