The Nothing Man by C.J. Petit

alt="Number 207 was hurled out of the Abbott Bottle and Glass Company into the dark St. Louis night; the hated supervisor’s taunts still ringing in his ears ‘you’re nothing and will always be nothing!’. He never looked back as he made his way through the gaslit streets without a penny in his pockets and no place to sleep. He should have been crushed by his desperation, but it was his anger and hate that drove him. He would use the one skill he had learned in those empty years that he now left behind him. He would enter the world of bareknuckle fighting and have to face older, stronger men to make his way in this hard world. He may be nothing, but he wasn’t going to go down without a fight."

Broken (Manhattan Ruthless Book 1) Free by Sadie Kincaid

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me. But if I’m being honest, I’ve grown tired of the endless cycle of dating, the constant small talk, and the ever-shrinking pool of women I haven’t already invited for a sleepover. I’m a lawyer, so contracts are kind of my thing. And that’s all marriage really is—a contract negotiated between two parties. What could possibly go wrong? Enter Melanie Edison, the five-foot-four brunette with curves in ALL the right places. A veterinary nurse with the smartest mouth...

Rule #1 for becoming an NHL team’s social media manager: Don’t hook up with the star center in an elevator a week before starting your new job. Uhh… oops. Okay, so I already broke the first rule. But just because Noah Blake knows what my ‘O’ face looks like, that doesn’t mean he’ll ever get to see it again. This job means the world to me, and I won’t risk it for anything—not even for a hockey captain with a crooked smile, a dangerously talented tongue, and gorgeous blue eyes that make my heart race. Not even when he shows up at my door to comfort me in the middle of a thunderstorm. Not even if he’s determined to show me just how incredible we could be together.
