Those Devilish De Marco Men - The Series

De Marco.

In one small South Carolina town, the De Marco family name conjures images of drop-dead gorgeous brothers with the bronze skin and dark hair of their Italian forefathers--and some say--serious commitment issues.

Daniel's the head of the family, responsible and dominant. At thirty-seven, Dan figures if he has to make do with plain vanilla sex, he'll do without. 

Middle brother Eric, family clown and sexual hit-and-run expert, has dated damn near every short brunette in town by the age of thirty-three, but before things ever get serious, Eric's already three steps out the door.

Colton's the youngest at twenty-nine, the quiet dreamer of the family. It's not that he can't find a woman to hold his interest. He found her when he was nineteen. Too bad she was already married.

But local folklore about the  De Marco's is about to change. The women in town will watch with dismay as the gorgeous brothers start going down like tall, dark dominoes, each finding the woman of his dreams. Along the way, an old family mystery will unfold, digging up painful memories and something more...a sense of family pride these men have never before had.

Book #1: Soft Sounds of Pleasure

Colton wants a home run with Lila. The bases are loaded against him: one foul nephew, one ogre-in-law, and Lila's loyal heart won't let him pinch-hit for her late husband. With the whole town keeping score, it's Game On.

Lila Walker has batted lead-off in Colton De Marco's fantasies for years, and now that he's stumbled upon her sunbathing in the nude, he decides to take his best swing.

Coping with her ogre-in-law, her inability to collect her late husband's life insurance, and the knowledge the entire town's counting the days she wears widow's weeds, Lila decides some between-the-sheets batting practice is just the distraction she needs--even if their sexy scrimmage won't last the summer.

But is she missing Colton's signals that he's in it to win it? And can Colton knock it out of the park with the attractive widow before his thirteen-year-old nephew's foul attitude gets him thrown out of the game?

Book #2: Wildly Inappropriate

Daniel De Marco can't believe his eyes when he looks out his kitchen window to see a young woman chained to his bumper. Not only is she wearing a collar and leash and damn little else, but she's black and she's beautiful, and she makes him a stunning offer--her body for two weeks in exchange for an hour a day to talk him into selling his neglected peach orchards.

Cynda Avery is relieved Daniel isn't some old redneck farmer, but he's more than she can handle, from the wildly inappropriate clothes he wants her to wear, to the confident way he handles her body, to the kinky way he likes to tie her up to have sex.

When she finds the key to his mother's disappearance and ends up spending the weekend in jail, will Daniel decide Cynda's an itch he's already scratched?

Book #3: Incidental Contact 

What if a random kiss with the wrong woman feels like more than incidental contact? What if you sense every mistake brought you to this place, with this person? What if you know you'll have to clean up your bad-boy past and can't offer her much of a future, but you're determined to win her heart? What if you're also having...performance issues? Welcome to Eric De Marco's world. First person to say 'go hard or go home' gets his ass kicked.
