Deuces Wild Series

When Nickie accidentally activates her special functions and finds herself with a stolen ship full of hostile Skaine, she has no choice but to figure out what to do with the cards she has been dealt. A by-product of her activation, her internal computer system also finds her Aunt Tabitha’s diary in her memory banks. In these accounts, Nickie finds a long-desired link back to her favorite aunt, whose recounted stories help them both to accept the trauma they’ve survived. Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger 2, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing and the ‘Skaine’ of the universe.

She's the one woman who can get his ball back in play… Deuces Wild, Book 1. For a while, MLB pitcher Chase “Deuce” Dixon used his bad-boy reputation as a smoke screen to cover up his elbow injury. But plummeting pitching stats don’t lie, so now he’s a free agent, spending the off-season in surgeons’ offices, and considering a post-baseball career in security. His first night moonlighting as a nightclub bouncer, he’s surprised that the singer on stage is his little sister’s pure, sweet, spitfire of a best friend. And some drunk guy is getting way too personal. Summer Maitland doesn’t need Chase strong-arming one of the few fans she’s managed to accumulate during the career she keeps secret from her family. And despite her body’s shimmering reaction to his touch, she certainly doesn’t need a self-appointed bodyguard following her around. Chase has other ideas. If anyone’s going to lay a hand on Summer, it’s going to be him. Now if only he could keep his tongue out of her mouth long enough to keep her safe. And his hands to himself before he scares her off. Warning: Contains an ace hurler moonlighting as a bouncer moonlighting as a bodyguard, and an angel-voiced chanteuse who’s up for anything he can throw at her—in and out of the bedroom. This one could make you rethink the definition of fastball.

Returning to find most of the colony slaughtered, Nickie flies into a rampage and goes off to kill the Skaines who did this.  Then, at her darkest hour, she learns a valuable lesson about herself, and the true nature of retribution. Meanwhile, her Aunt Tabitha works on her own unique methods for cleaning up the universe. With Ryu beside her, she mis-adventures herself and her Tontos through the seedy underside of Karkat to get their man. In the end, she also has to admit to what she learned alongside 'Ryotoshi.' Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger Two, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar-brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing and the Skaines of the universe.

To protect her, he'll have to cover the bases — first, second, third, and all the way home. Deuces Wild, Book 2. Cassidy Dixon isn’t about to let her overprotective big brother know she has a stalker problem. But when she turns to his bodyguard agency partner, former MLB player Jax Wilder, she realizes she’s made an even bigger mistake. Jax is even more overbearing, and soon he’s getting too close for comfort—as in panty-melting close. Heat is the last thing she needs in her under-siege ice cream shop—until hot tempers explode into the best angry sex of her life. For once, the last thing on Jax’s morning-after mind is escape. He’s wanted Chase’s little sister too long not to make a move when opportunity strikes. He knows the reasons why she lives a careful life, and he’s ready to be the man she needs. If only she’d stop trying to get away… Certain Jax feels guilty for sampling forbidden, way-too-sheltered fruit, Cassidy sets out to prove that she’s not as innocent and inexperienced as he thinks. She never expected him to rise to the challenge…or to be ready to risk everything to keep her safe. Warning: Contains an overworked bodyguard who is juggling a stalker and a woman desperate to unleash her wilder side. This hero knows how to ride…to the rescue and a motorcycle, among other things. Beware of curve balls and acts of spontaneous outdoor sex.

He's used to coming out on top… until desire brings him to his knees. Deuces Wild, Book 3. Sterling Vance is focused on two things: building his bodyguard agency and finding a nice, commitment-minded woman to date. The first one is easy—winning in business comes naturally. The second? Tricky, especially in the online dating world. At least when it comes to his friend’s pregnant daughter, he’s sure of himself. She got into trouble, so it makes perfect sense to move her into his place. Until unexpected attraction shoots them straight from platonic to “pass the lube." Proving she can take care of her baby on her own is Angelina McFee’s top priority. At least it was, until Sterling gives her what he thinks she needs—then retreats behind his in-control façade. Curious to discover if he ever lets loose, she sets up a fake online profile…and gets an eyeful that ties her up in orgasmic knots. Yet one thing still scares the hell out of her: falling for him. But as the secret she’s hiding pushes closer to the surface, and her determined ex closes in, it could already be too late… Warning: Watch out for dirty talk, dirtier pictures, and the occasional tie used as restraint. Handle with care—objects in the mirror are hotter than they look.

When Nickie receives a plea for help she does what any young rebel on a sabbatical would do. She Ignores it.  Little does she know quite who and what happen to follow the message.  One volcanic labyrinth, a rock monster, and a hike with a new team later she finds herself on a new mission of her own. And this time, she has no idea what’s in store for her.  Meanwhile her Aunt Tabitha’s diary tells the tales of escapades that serve as lessons and warnings about allowing ones’ preconceptions to flavor Tabitha’s assumptions. For Hirotoshi and Ryu, it’s a full time job to keep Ranger 2 on the straight and narrow while not rounding up the one alien Tabitha is absolutely positive is responsible. Plus, there are fights.  Because, with Tabitha around, there are always fights.  Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger 2, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, shenanigans and the ‘Skaine’ of the universe.

Unfortunately restoring order depends on her ability to deal with two royal sisters – each battling it out for the crown.  Each for their own deeply personal reasons. Tabitha is thinking of her very young niece, and what led up to the fateful moment of her third birthday. Would she be able to handle the operations Barnabas gave her, and make it back in time? Or would the job of Rangering take her out of the area for too long, and crush the little girl's heart? Can Nickie learn from her Aunt’s stories, and resolve the dispute?  Will she have to make the hardest choice of all - for the sake of the system?  What will she choose for her own future?  Find out now! Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger 2, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing and the ‘Skaine’ of the universe.
