My new neighbor walked into my life with a misdirected package. She left with the worst first impression of all time. It's for the best, though. I don't have the time or the inclination to play friendly neighbors with the hauntingly beautiful girl across the hall - especially not since the last woman I trusted stabbed me in the back.She's the reason I'm so tense right now. That same traitorous ex has just announced she's gatecrashing the biggest post-championship event of my life. And this time, she'll be on the arm of the one other person I never wanted to see again - my former rival for the championship, and the man who nearly drove me from the boxing ring prior to my retirement. I'm worried I won't be able to hold it together in front of the pair of them - and harsh words are often followed by rash decisions. Decisions like stepping back into the boxing ring to take a fight I couldn't possibly win.It sounds crazy, but I've got an idea that my new neighbor from 4A might be the only person who can help. There's something about Mia Kelly that brings calm to my restless soul. Every time we pass in the hallway, or make eye contact on the stairs, I feel something I haven't felt in a long time: like maybe I wasn't destined to be alone after all.But I can't possibly tell Mia that. She'd think I was crazy - or worse. So, I'll ask that sweet, shy girl to fake it for me instead - to stand by my side as my pretend date as I confront the two people who once tried to tear down my world. Mia's the only one who can give me the strength to do it - I just hope I can stay strong enough not to reveal how I really feel about her when she does.All of Me is the first in Kristyn DeMaster's Brothers Pub series; a steamy sports romance praised for "great chemistry" and characters readers' "care about and root for as a couple." Welcome to the Brothers Pub series; where the beer is always cold, the passion is always hot, and a happily-ever-after is always guaranteed.

Since the first moment I met her, I've been pushing Meg Kennedy away. I have to for both our sakes - but man, is it tough. Meg's the wildly ambitious BFF of Mia, my best friend's girl, and those blonde curls, blue eyes, and killer curves of hers turn me on like no other woman I've ever met. Meg's feisty, funny, and has a heart the size of the ocean. Being around her is intoxicating.Which is precisely why she's got no business being with a guy like me. As proud as I am of the work I do running the kitchen at Brothers Pub, that's about as far as my career is ever likely to take me - and every time I'm around Meg, she just reminds me that I'm stuck where I am, when the only direction her life and career ever seem to take her is up.But when Meg turns up at my front door one night, three sheets to the wind and flat on her back, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there's trouble in paradise. It turns out that this high-flying girl has just as many secrets and insecurities as I do - and when she finally starts opening up to me about them, it's difficult not to do the same in return. For some reason, despite how different our lives are, there's a connection between us that can't be ignored.But our lives are headed in very different directions - and it'll take more than just a connection for Meg and me to ever have a chance of being together. If we really want to make this work, we'll both have to overcome our demons and do the toughest thing of all: Just believe.Believe in Me is the second in Kristyn DeMaster's Brothers Pub series - steamy contemporary romances praised for characters that readers "care about and root for as a couple" with "just enough spice to make you go: Ooh la la "
