It's time for me to start pulling my weight in the Suarez clan—to prove I'm worth more than the plays I make on the field or the dirt I dig up on rival families. I want to make Wolfy proud. And to not get unalived by Simon. So I volunteered what I had to offer, knowing my infamous genes could be used for uniting two powerful clans in marriage.

This boxed set includes books 1-4 in the Haven Hart series.

This man could fulfill every dark desire I've buried beneath the surface, things even my twin doesn't know I crave.

Make that muscular, morally gray, and hopefully, my next conquest.
