The secret about the Birmingham Rebels is out: With a girl in the middle, two mouth-watering football studs are better than one.

Linebacker Sam Taylor feels like a ticking time bomb. He left the army with emotional wounds as fresh as the scars on his back. Sam’s been living like a monk, but his best friend, defensive lineman King Ulupoka, wants to get him laid. Easy for him to say. The larger-than-life Samoan is a hard-bodied, tribal-tattooed fantasy. Sam agrees, under one condition: King stays to watch.

ER nurse Jane Foster is done being a good girl, and nothing says wild like picking up two of football’s sexiest players and bringing them back to your hotel room. Trouble is, she can’t decide which one she wants more. Sam is hot, sweet, and vulnerable. Jane’s more than willing to ride him into oblivion. But King’s intense gaze from across the room promises that the best is yet to come.

Sure, King has had his choice of girls and guys in the past. That doesn’t mean he’ll jeopardize his relationship with Sam over a case of locker-room lust—until a naughty nurse pushes them both out of their comfort zones. Seeing Jane and Sam together turns King on more than he ever imagined. If they’re game, he’s ready to tackle a three-way play.


A steamy-hot continuation of Samantha Kane’s Birmingham Rebels series is once again burning up the sheets!  You MUST be okay with menage and M/M to enjoy this book … and if you are, you’re in for a treat!  These two guys are the best of friends and then meeting that one certain lady, takes it to a whole new level!  The characters are sweet and kind, they have issues just like us, and I think you’ll find yourself rooting for a happy ending for them just like I was.

The PTSD that Linebacker Sam Taylor suffers from after returning from Afghanistan has him living his life in a really stunted way.  He overthinks things and worries constantly about what might set him off, and it’s driving his best friend crazy!  Defensive lineman King Ulupoka just wants to see Sam be able to relax and enjoy life a little bit.  He’s been living life like a monk ever since he came home, and King has decided it’s time he helps him change that!

ER nurse Jane Foster has always been the good girl, and so when she meets these two hunks and gets the opportunity to live life on the bad side for one night, she’s super tempted!  Steamy sex with a gorgeous football player?  YES PLEASE!  So what if his friend is going to stay and watch … she’s still game!

When a chance encounter has her crossing their path again a few months later, they decide they can’t let a gift like that slide by without jumping on it.  Neither of them have been able to get her or that night out of their mind … and neither has she!  When they all decide to try at a relationship … together … will they be able to live with the consequences when it goes public?

He can protect anything except his heart

Leese Phelps's road hasn't been an easy one, but it's brought him to the perfect job—working for the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese who's threatening her.

What Catalina knows could get her killed. But who'd believe the sordid truth about her powerful stepfather? Beyond Leese's ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable honor. He's the last person she expects to trust—and the first who's ever made her feel safe. And he's the only one who can help her expose a deadly secret, if they can just stay alive long enough…


With the kick-off of a brand new series, Lori Foster brings us some familiar faces!  Instant attraction melded with heightened awareness to keep her safe has this Body Armor bodyguard feeling more than he ever thought possible for his newest client!  Great chemistry between the entire cast of characters keeps us highly entertained as we go along for the ride of solving the mystery of who the bad guys really are and how they can stop them.

When Leese Phelps gave up fighting to settle into being a body guard, he wasn’t sure he was going to like it, but he has to admit, it’s a satisfying job!  His boss Sahara takes good care of her guys and doesn’t take any gruff off of anybody, so they can always count on her to have their back.

From the moment he meets Cataline Nicholson, he’s drawn to her.  She’s done a great job of keeping herself hidden, and now that they have found her and realize what’s really going on, they realize they have led danger right to her door again!  She knows some very dangerous information, but knows no one would believe her against the wealthy men that it would bring down.  Now that Leese and his agency are on her side, will they be able to get all of the info they need to bring justice for those wronged and keep Cat safe before the bad men catch up to them?

UNDER PRESSURE Synopsis:

He can protect anything except his heart

Leese Phelps’s road hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s brought him to the perfect job—working for the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese who’s threatening her.

What Catalina knows could get her killed. But who’d believe the sordid truth about her powerful stepfather? Beyond Leese’s ripped body and brooding gaze is a man of impeccable honor. He’s the last person she expects to trust—and the first who’s ever made her feel safe. And he’s the only one who can help her expose a deadly secret, if they can just stay alive long enough…

 

UNDER PRESSURE - Tour teaser

EXCERPT:

“You do tempt me,” she whispered, her smile in place. “I didn’t realize it was mutual though.”

“Now you do.” And maybe she’d be more circum­spect.

“Because I’m convenient?” she asked. “Or some­what—” her expression pinched “—desperate?”

The uncertainty twisted his guts. He glanced at her mouth. “Because you’re hot.”

Her teeth bit into her bottom lip. “You really think so?”

Intuitively knowing she needed to hear it, he shared his thoughts. It wasn’t in the best interest of his sanity, but he liked seeing her blush.

He especially liked the way she looked at him.

“You, lady, are sexiness in a very small, sweet pack­age.”

“Usually I’m told I’m too thin.”

Leese slowly shook his head. “You have the right look and the right attitude to push all my buttons.”

Gifting him with that cocky smile he admired, she opened her hands on his chest. “Mmm. I think I like that.”

“What?”

“Pushing your buttons.” Her fingers trailed up to his shoulders, then around his neck.

Leese started to lean down when Justice knocked again.

Cat froze, then panicked. “Oh my God. That’s Jus­tice, right? I forgot all about him!” She pushed against Leese, trying to slide free.

He wanted to groan.

In truth, he should thank Justice for keeping him from doing anything insane. “Shh. Take it easy.” He rolled to the side of her and watched her shoot off the bed, then make a mad dash around to the bedroom.

Her ass looked really nice as she did so.

After scrubbing both hands over his face, Leese forced himself from the bed and went to the door. He peeked out first.

Justice stood there holding a tray with coffee and a basket of Danish pastries. Time to get the day started.

Past time to work through the puzzle of the current case: Catalina Nicholson.
