The Perfect Play
Jaci Burton
The Perfect Play From bestselling author Jaci Burton comes a scorching tale about love and the games people play. NFL quarterback Mick Riley has it all: fame, fortune and his pick of any woman. Well, almost any woman. When he meets-and beds-Tara Lincoln, he realizes that he wants more than a one-night stand. Too bad she has other ideas. Their connection was hot, heavy and heavenly...and she's calling it off. Tara played the game of love once-and lost big. And even though her steamy night with Mick proved that he's an all-star both on the field and in the bedroom, she just can't risk that kind of pain again. But Mick didn't get to be a star QB by giving up each time he got knocked down. He means to win her heart. And he has the perfect play in mind....

Changing the Game
Jaci Burton
Most people play by the rules. Gavin and Liz aren't most people....
Win at any cost. That's always been the mantra of sports agent Liz Darnell. When she carries things too far and risks losing her number-one client, baseball pro Gavin Riley, Liz realizes that she'll have to work extra innings to win him back. It might not be too much of a stretch. She's had a thing for this player's moves since she first laid eyes on him, and by the looks of it, he wants her just as bad.
Gavin's more than ready—especially when Liz is offering herself as part of the bargain. And as much of her as Gavin wants. For added thrills, he decides to throw a little curve ball Liz's way to see just how far she's truly willing to go to keep him as a client. But when love unexpectedly enters the playing field, neither Liz nor Gavin are ready for the biggest game-changer of them all.

Playing to Win
Jaci Burton
Someone’s going to have to let down their guard…
Football star Cole Riley is notorious for doing as he pleases—on the field and off. He parties hard and fights harder, but if he doesn’t clean up his act, his career is over—so Cole reluctantly agrees to work with image makeover consultant Savannah Brooks. He’s not used to being told what to do, especially by some (admittedly hot) Southern belle. As for Savannah, she’s not convinced she can transform this cocky (and aggressively sexy) force of nature. But she’s determined to give it her best shot.
When the sparks start to fly, Savannah lays down the ground rules: no personal complications. If she can turn off the tingle she feels every time Cole gives her a hot stare with his gorgeous baby blues, he can turn off his desire as well. But for two people determined to have it all, a hands-off policy can only last so long before one of them yields.
