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.

Rule #1: Don’t fall in love with the groom

Stalker exes. Momzillas. Drunk uncles. Hurricanes. Jealous siblings. Paparazzi.

You name it, Kari Whitevelt has seen it all.

And that’s why brides and grooms hire her.

Because she makes it all go away.

Whatever it takes.

No matter what.

But when her newest client turns out to be her own long-lost high school sweetheart, rising tech star billionaire Caleb Mikelmas, suddenly Kari’s not sure whether she’s protecting the wedding couple —

Or her own heart.

Tech billionaire Caleb never thought he had a chance, much less a second chance with his first love and high school sweetheart, Kari. When a case of mistaken identity turns their reunion into one big misunderstanding, unraveling his feelings about the one who got away while supporting his brother’s nuptials means facing old demons.

And kissing Kari.

He likes kissing Kari far more than that whole demon thing.

Their solid friendship had been through so much, yet now Twyla grew breathless every time Noah was near. Why wasn’t Noah—handsome, fun, but never one to cross the line—showing any signs of stopping?
