    Narration by Liam DiCosimo 
    MM | The Game Series, #1 | BDSM | Daddykink | Standalone 
    In a perfect world, Lucas West would meet someone in one of the BDSM communities he was active in, someone who ached for a Daddy Dom as much as Lucas longed for a Little to care for. They would date, play, build something that was just for them, and share a future together. 
    In a perfect world, Colt Carter would get through his next deployment and then move closer to DC where he could create at least a semblance of a personal life. He wanted something outside of the Air Force, something kinky, something worth leaving everything behind for eventually. For years, he’d kept his inner Sadist and Daddy Dom locked up, only letting him out to play on rare occasions. 
    In a perfect world… 
    In reality, Lucas and Colt met each other. 
    The Game Series is a BDSM series where romance meets the reality of kink. Sometimes we fall for someone we don’t match with, sometimes vanilla business gets in the way of kinky pleasure, and sometimes we have to compromise and push ourselves to overcome trauma and insecurities. No matter what, one thing is certain. This is not a perfect world—and maybe that’s why the happily ever after feels so good.

    Working remote on a houseboat in Seattle sounds amazing—until it rains for four months straight. Now Robbie Price would love any excuse to get on dry land. When a co-worker who's going through a divorce suggests a house swap, Robbie can't pass up the chance to spend four weeks in a beach cottage in San Diego. All she needs to do is avoid her co-worker's ex-wife and finish a few home improvement projects. 
     
     
     
    Devyn Lancaster never expected to get divorced, but she isn't exactly unhappy about how things have turned out. She has more time to focus on being a doctor in a busy hospital and can let go of trying to be a better wife. Still, there are some things at home she'd like someone to take care of. Like basically everything she has no time to do. 
     
     
     
    Robbie Price is the last person Devyn expects to want to keep around—especially after Robbie accidentally weed whacks her pollinator garden. But Robbie makes a mean lasagna and in one weekend completes half the items on her to-do list. 
     
     
     
    Soon Devyn has to admit she likes having a temporary housebutch. And Robbie can't deny the house swap turned out to be a perfect change. Saying goodbye at the end of the month might be harder than either realize.

    Is it in bad taste to sleep with a client? Asking for a friend… 
    In high school, Derek ruled the school with his fellow hockey players, while I fantasized from afar. He only knew me as his little brother’s shy friend who, thanks to one vicious rumor from a former flame, had garnered a reputation as the school freak. 
    Twenty years later, I’m a successful real estate agent who’s put my embarrassing past behind me and smartly stayed away from love. I have things under control…until Derek suddenly returns to Sourwood sans wedding ring, and in dire need of a house for him and his daughter. 
    Clinching this sale will cement my hard-earned status as a top agent and distance me from my embarrassing past. If only I can stop shamelessly flirting with my new client. If only I can stop dreaming about him bending me over newly updated marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Old habits die hard. 
    Soon though, my fantasy version of Derek fades away as I learn the truth about his return. Maybe I can get him to no longer see me as his little brother’s weird friend. Maybe he can get me to let down my guard and trust a guy again. 
    Or maybe those dreams are as unrealistic as the housing budget for a couple on House Hunters. 
    The Fireman and the Flirt is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone. It will give you all the brother's best friend, businessman/client, nerd/jock vibes you can handle without charging a commission.
