OFF BASE: Kenna and Beck By Tessa Bailey A welcome home he never expected...and will never forget... When Kenna Sutton is tasked with driving home newly returned Beck “True Blue” Collier, she expects the strategic Army mastermind to be a pasty number cruncher. Never at a loss for words, Kenna is nonetheless rendered speechless by the gorgeous, inexperienced and tightly-wound Army major that lands in her passenger seat. Outraged by Beck’s lack of a welcome home after seven long years overseas, Kenna takes matters into her own hands, giving Beck something he’s only ever fantasized about in his bunk. Beck has never shied away from a test of will and Kenna gives new meaning to the word challenge. One problem? Kenna’s father is the lieutenant general presenting Beck with the Silver Star and Beck is determined to treat Kenna with the respect she deserves, even if her eyes beg Beck to act out his most secret desires with her. Desires he's always been told were the work of the devil. But how long can one lonely, starving man hope to resist the woman he craves? OFF BASE: Huntley and Cullen By Sophie Jordan Being a good girl has its drawbacks... Huntley Collier, an emergency room nurse and all-around do-gooder, is tired of living in the friend zone. Cullen Brooks was given the job of babysitting Huntley when her brother – his best friend – deployed. But their friendly coffeehouse hangouts and TV marathons leave her wanting more. When one crazy night leads to too many drinks and an explosion of long-denied lust, Huntley's dreams become a reality. And reality is one hot, wild place she never wants to leave. But only a good girl can bring down a bad boy... Known as Sullen Cullen around Black Rock, Cullen Brooks doesn’t have many friends, but Huntley is one of them … and despite his decidedly unfriendly fantasies of the curvy blonde, she is far too sweet for his darker tastes. Keeping his hands off is easier said than done, however, when demure, little Huntley responds to his touch like the wildcat he never expected...and can't stop pursuing, despite his better judgment.

I fell in love with Maddox and Carson in college, but not once have they made a move on me. So, for eight years I settled for being best friends with two of the biggest players in the city, watching Maddox cycle through girlfriends every few months and Carson jump from one hook-up to the next.
Now our friendship is in jeopardy. An outlaw motorcycle club has started hanging around Carson's bike shop, drawing him deep into their underworld of violence and crime. My pleas to Maddox to intervene as a cop are ignored. Both men are shutting me out, avoiding my calls and treating me like I never even existed in their lives.
After I show up at Carson's shop and make a scene, life goes from bleak to terrifying. I find myself right in the middle of a police investigation, wearing a wire around hard core criminals while Carson feels me up in their club house as I play the role of his "old lady."
But the night's not over. Listening to the audio of all that heavy petting made Maddox jealous. Carson suggests that the only way to set our friendship right is to let Maddox have his own time on the couch with me -- while Carson watches.
