A Princess? No Way Katie Davis is a perfectly ordinary young woman living a perfectly ordinary life in small-town Wisconsin ... isn't she? The most interesting thing about her is that she works for the men's basketball office at Ashton University. If she considers the biggest perk of the job being around assistant basketball coach Brad Spencer, that also makes her ordinary, because what woman wouldn't feel that way? So these people coming around saying she could be the long-missing granddaughter of the King of Bariavak have to be wrong ... don't they? Brad has a real soft spot for Katie. She stirs his protectiveness, his penchant for the underdog, and, possibly, certain other reactions he's not about to indulge. So he's going to do his damnedest to make sure Katie gets all that she deserves, including the crown that might be her right ... even though it means Her Royal Highness will never again look at a basketball coach from Wisconsin like he's the king of her heart.

Former marine and seasoned firefighter Troy Barnes has always kept his sex life on the down low, until he takes back-to-back hits: physically injured in a suspicious warehouse explosion and emotionally blindsided when he’s ditched by his boyfriend. When a flirty young paramedic offers him a place to crash, Troy’s not so willing to give in. He’s never needed help before. But if anyone can break through his tough-guy act, it’s Alex Tate.
Alex has crushed on Troy since the minute he saw him. Now here he is, stripped of his turnout gear and recuperating in Alex’s bed. The tattooed hero may be a fantasy-come-true, but Alex wants more than rebound sex—and he’s not sure Troy’s ex is gone or forgotten.
As each night brings them closer together, Troy realizes there’s more to Alex than he’d ever imagined. And with an arsonist loose in Manhattan, neither he nor Alex realizes just how combustible things are going to get.
