Jani Kay – DEBONAIR
deb•o•nair
adjective \ˌde-bə-ˈner\
of a man : dressing and acting in a stylish and sophisticated way : urbane, attractive, charming and confident
Debonair and sexy-as-sin Tyler Sinclair has fought his way from poverty to the top as a Wall Street stockbroker. Hungry for success, ambitious for power and glory, he doesn’t have time for messy emotions like love. When his colleague is called away on business, Tyler is stuck with an intern he never wanted and doesn’t have time for. Three weeks of torture await him.
Raised by a single mother, Brooklyn Bennett is an Australian girl who works and studies hard to achieve her dreams. She scores an internship with a prestigious firm in New York for six months. Focused on her career, she can’t afford to lose sight of her goals. Love is not on her agenda.
From the moment Tyler lays eyes on the girl with the golden hair, strange accent and sassy attitude, something about her intrigues him. Can he teach her all she needs to learn without losing his heart? Can he make her yield to him not only in the boardroom but also in the bedroom? Will a few nights of passion change the way they both feel about love . . . or is it just about sex, money and desire?
Callie Hart – REBEL
Alexis Romera isn’t ready to die.
Thing is…
She may not have a choice.
***
The president of the Widow Makers MC is determined.
The Los Oscuros cartel is going down.
The one thing Rebel must do to make that happen?
Keep the girl alive.
Pepper Winters – FORBIDDEN FLAWS
She’s forbidden.
Saffron Carlton is the darling of the big screen, starlet on the red carpet, and wife of mega producer Felix Carlton. Her life seems perfect with her overflowing bank balance, adoring fans, and luxury homes around the world. Everyone thinks they know her. But no one truly does.
The silver limelight is tainted the day the couple announce their divorce.
He’s flawed.
Raised in squalor, fed on violence and poverty, Cas Smith knows the underbelly of the world. He’s not looking for fame or fortune. He’s looking for a job to get him the hell away from the danger of illegal fighting, and comes face to face with the woman who ran all those years ago.
Unable to turn down her job offer, he agrees to be her bodyguard and personal trainer, all while she hides her secrets.
He had no intention of letting her back into his heart.
But neither of them were prepared for what happens when forbidden and flawed collide —fracturing the world they know, changing the rules forever.
Lilliana Anderson – DEEP COVER
Some things won’t stay buried…
Drake Jefferson has been missing for years.
Wanted by the very people who hired him, he left behind his job, his life, and his love to pursue a career of the criminal variety
Caitlin Saunders, Drake’s ex-wife and one of the AFP’s best analysts, is doing her best to move on after losing the love of her life. Originally a part of the team that managed Drake’s operation, she gave up her field role the day she realized he’d turned. And she hasn’t trusted a soul since.
One phone call in the middle of the night will force her back to active duty – a suspect in an ongoing case has been captured and they insist they have information on Drake – they just aren’t willing to talk to anyone but her.
That information will change everything she believed to be true and send her down a path that could land her in the exact position Drake ended up in.
It will take every skill set she has, just to keep her head above water as she learns that right and wrong don’t always follow the rules, and that when you’re fighting for love – there are no rules.
Chelle Bliss – RESISTING
I belong to no one.
It’s the way I’ve chosen to live. Master of my own destiny, finding my way through this bullshit thing called life.
I learned from a young age how to get my way. Being a woman isn’t a weakness. It’s the opposite. I’ve spent my life being surrounded by four overbearing brothers, but I’ve never been a wallflower. Independent and unwilling to be tied down, I grabbed life by the balls and lived it to the fullest.
I was enjoying myself, minding my own business at my brothers wedding. Then WHAM.
Ever have a man walk into your life and alter your entire universe? My answer would’ve been no before he tempted me into his bed.
I’m talking about the big damn bang.
Everything that I thought was right, suddenly spins on its axis and bitch slaps me in the face.
Lila Rose – FINDING OUT
In a moment of weakness, Ivy Morrison tells a lie, a lie which will leave her scrambling for a solution and quick. The perfect solution comes well-packaged in the form of broody and sinfully sexy Fox Kilpatrick, courtesy of Find Your Soul Ma…te online dating service. Desperate times is most definitely a call for desperate measures. With no other choice, Ivy convinces passionate yet possessive Fox to help her in her time of need.
Fox ‘Killer’ Kilpatrick is still caught up in his past, a past of anger and death, which his biker brothers desperately want him to recover from. Losing a bet, Killer finds himself on a blind date with Ivy, the woman who is set to turn his world upside down.
Following your heart is never easy, neither is following an unknown path, but finding out may just be worth the journey to possibility. Only together, will Ivy and Killer discover if it was worth the risk after all.
Lyra Parish – SINGLE VOLUME ONE
After failing miserably at love, Roxane VanBuren swears off men but not before her determined best friend shows her all the advantages of being single. After a wild weekend full of sex, old-flames, and secrets, Roxane is desperate to forget it ever happened.
But she learns it isn’t that easy.
Since becoming the President of VanBuren Investments, she knows how important it is for her professional and personal life to remain separate from one another. If the two were to mix, the rumors could possibly ruin her reputation, which is bad for her and bad for business. To avoid that, Roxane allows rules to define and guide her every move. Unfortunately for her, Parker Williams is determined to break them all, one at a time.
Lesley Jones – REED
She was mine.
Our love, unquestioned.
Our futures planned.
But she didn’t show.
All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn’t show.
That one act from her, changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back.
No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever… Along with the other four people in my bed.
Nina Levine – ALL YOUR REASONS
When heartbreaker meets ball breaker, sparks will fly.
Rockstar, Jett Vaughn, isn’t against settling down, but no woman has ever held his attention long enough for a relationship to develop. That is until he meets Presley Hart. She’s confident, opinionated and headstrong. She drives him to the edge of crazy, but he can’t deny how she makes him feel.
He wants her heart, but she only wants his body.
Presley’s not against giving her heart to a man, but she has too many reasons why he’s not the one to give it to. Jett isn’t a man who will take no for an answer though. He’s about to declare war on her reasons and take what he wants.

When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.
A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.
A band of brothers where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson, and I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.
Warning: KICK contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.

COVER REVEAL ~ RUN TO YOU by Kandice Michelle Young
did not move here to fall for a man like Sebastian.
all-consuming, and guaranteed to leave destruction in his wake. From the moment
our eyes met, he had a hold on me. I wanted, craved, and needed him like
nothing I had ever desired before.
contract, I knew what he was proposing would destroy me. What I had not planned
was his ability to make me crave destruction. I would lose myself in him.
Sebastian knew how to take me over the edge, and before I even knew it, I
wanted to go freefalling.
calculated was the power of his to do the same. My dark, brooding, impeccably
sexual, alpha-male had his own crosses to bear. I was not sure I was strong
enough to handle them, or the woman who helped chain him there.
“You were special ordered by Black
himself.” He takes my elbow and guides me into the room.My heart is racing with anticipation.
This is it, my moment of truth. I walk on shaky legs as I try to keep up with
his pace. In just minutes, I will be face-to-face with Sebastian for the first
time since our short-lived intimate encounter a week ago. A crowd by the bar
lets out a loud cheer and I glance over to see the bartender balancing a shaker
on his head and juggling three more around him, catching liquids from each one,
and mixing them into the contents of the other.We walk up a flight of metal stairs
and he knocks on the door, which is camouflaged into the black wall surrounding
it. It opens and Robin greets us. She smiles at me. “It’s nice to see you
again, Dani, Mr. Black is expecting you. Mr. Princeton if you could please come
with me. We need to speak with the press.”“Of course,” Paul replies. He turns
to me with a focused brow. “You’ll be ok here?”“Yep, I’ve got it covered.” I wink.I watch as Robin and Paul exit the
room chatting animatedly as they go. My stomach does a flip-flop, and I focus
on my surroundings to regain my composure. The room isn’t much different from
the lobby where my desk sits at PES, dark wood and leather furniture. Two
couches face each other with a mahogany coffee table between them. Unlike the
apartment he took me to the last time, I see him in this room. It’s decorated
with urban art, dark, and mysterious.I feel a charge of electricity cut
through the air, and turn to see Sebastian standing in the doorframe. He’s
wearing an expensive tailor-made suit like he was the day we met. This one is
also black. His tie, however, is gray just like those smoldering eyes. I meet
his gaze and my mouth opens instinctively to allow me to intake more breath. He
leans on the doorframe, holding my gaze, and I feel a heaviness building in the
pit of my stomach. We stand there for what seems like an eternity taking each
other in.“Well,” he says. His voice is calm,
collected, and poised, but I can see the storm brewing in his eyes. “Step into
my office. As I understand it we still have much to discuss.”I try to steady my shaking limbs as I
place my hand in his. He smells delicious. It’s not cologne or body wash, it’s
him. Rugged, manly, and sensual. He leads me to a soft leather chair that sits
opposite his and makes his way around the wide mahogany desk that separates us.From the moment his touch leaves my
skin, I’m thirsty for it, needing it like lungs need oxygen. He sits in his
executive chair, looking much like a mid-15th-century king on his
throne. He looks expectantly at me and I shift in my seat, trying desperately
not to meet his gaze.“Would you care for a drink, Miss
Stevens?” He offers.“No, Mr. Black, I would not. I need
to keep a level head in order to proceed with our business negotiations.”A smirk threatens his lips as he
takes a sip of what I can only presume to be scotch based on the amber
coloring. “Very well, let’s get to the business shall we.”I timidly raise my eyes to meet his.
“I think the event is going well, don’t you?”He sets his drink down on a marble
coaster without taking his eyes off me. “Quite, but I never doubted your
capabilities, Miss Stevens.”“Everyone seems to be enjoying
themselves and there’s a crowd lining the street. We’ve had to turn
people away,” I inform him.“My accountant will be very happy to
hear that.”I smile and look down at my hands,
which I’ve been inadvertently twisting into knots in my lap. He follows my
gaze. “Are you nervous, Miss Stevens?”I inhale and fold my hands in between
my knees, crossing my legs. “Perhaps a little.”He picks up his crystal tumbler and
stands. My skin breaks out in goosebumps as he walks toward me and leans
against the desk. He removes his jacket and places it around my shoulders. As
he does so, he expertly removes the hair from my neck and gently caresses it at
the same time. The jacket is warm and smells of him, increasing the desire
growing in my belly.“There’s no need for you to be
nervous, Danielle, we are two consenting adults coming to an agreement. We are
doing nothing wrong.” He loosens his tie and I note his expensive looking jade
and platinum cufflinks.I clear my throat. “On second
thought, I think I will have that drink. Nothing heavy though, red wine if
you’ve got it.”He walks toward a cocktail cart on
the adjacent wall and I watch his sculpted ass, thinking of how it would feel
to dig my nails into it. He returns and hands me a glass of a delicious
smelling wine. I smile and take it from him, carefully sipping at it as he
leans back onto his desk.“So, have you given my proposition
any thought?”I lower the glass and stare into the
dark red liquid. “I have.”“And?”I shrug. “It’s interesting.”“Interesting as in you agree, or
interesting as in I should be locked up in a padded cell,” he prods.I consider his words carefully before
raising my eyes to meet his. His stare burns with anticipation, although the
rest of his face is stoic, his chiseled jaw set in a way that would break
Michelangelo’s Heart. I lightly caress my lips with my tongue struggling to
find my voice.“A little of both,” I say.His eyes stare into mine, burning a
hole straight to the center of my core. My knees weaken and my sex tingles with
delight as I imagine what comes next.“Does that mean you are saying yes,
Miss Stevens?”I smile sweetly at him and nod. “Yes,
Mr. Black, I agree to the renegotiated terms of your contract.”In one swift motion, he lunges at me
and wraps my mouth with his as he lifts me on top of his desk. His hands run
under the jacket and along my back, pushing it off me. I reciprocate by
wrapping my legs around his waist and placing my hands on his firm, strong back
kissing him back with fervor.

COVER REVEAL – RAZE BY TILLIE COLE
Who’s ready for Tillie Cole’s standalone dark contemporary romance?
*Raises hand* Meeeeee! But first…we need to see the cover…
Title: Raze
Author: Tillie Cole
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 30th December 2014
BLURB
To take back life, one must first face death…
One man stripped of his freedom, his morals… his life.
Conditioned in captivity to maim, to kill and to slaughter, prisoner 818 becomes an unremorseful, unrivaled and unstoppable fighter in the ring. Violence is all he knows. Death and brutality are the masters of his fate.
After years of incarceration in an underground hell, only one thought occupies his mind: revenge… bloody, slow and violent revenge.
Revenge on the man who lied.
Revenge on the man who wronged him.
Revenge on the man who condemned him and turned him into… this: a rage-fueled killing machine. A monster void of humanity; a monster filled with hate.
And no one will stand in the way of getting what he wants.
One woman stripped of her freedom, her morals… her life.
Kisa Volkova is the only daughter of Kirill ‘The Silencer’ Volkov, head of the infamous ‘Triad’ bosses of New York’s Russian Bratva. Her life is protected. In reality, it’s a virtual prison. Her father’s savage treatment of his rivals and his lucrative and coveted underground gambling ring—The Dungeon—ensures too many enemies lurk at their door.
She dreams to be set free.
Kisa has known only cruelty and loss in her short life. As manager of her father’s death match enterprise, only grief and pain fill her days. Her mafiya boss father, in her world, rules absolute. And her fiancé, Alik Durov, is no better: The Dungeon’s five-time champion, a stone-cold killer, the treasured son of her father’s best friend, and her very own—and much resented—personal guard. Unrivaled in both strength and social standing, Alik controls every facet of Kisa’s life, dominates her every move; keeps her subdued and dead inside… then one night changes everything.
While working for her church—the only reprieve in her constant surveillance—Kisa stumbles across a tattooed, scarred, but stunningly beautiful homeless man on the streets. Something about him stirs feelings deep within her; familiar yet impossibly forbidden desires. He doesn’t talk. Doesn’t communicate with anyone. He’s a man beyond saving, and a man she must quickly forget… for both their sakes.

Excerpt
I had gotten used to things over the years. Marley’s emotions always took you on a wild roller coaster ride, the ebb and flow often unexpected and sometimes tumultuous. But during those moments that things flattened out, and the ups and downs of her life were on an even keel, even if for just an instant, those were the times that I treasured. I wouldn’t trade those rare memories for anything in the world. Those were the times that I saw the real Marley…the girl that forced me to play Barbie’s with her, the girl that convinced me the mud pie she made for me was really chocolate. The way her eyes brimmed with enthusiasm and mischief at the same time, you couldn’t help but believe her, knowing that she would squeal with excitement and delight when you pretended to take a bite of her ‘chocolate’ pie.
“Remember the tree house?” she asked, bringing me back from my own memories. I could hear the lump in her throat.
“How could I forget? You hounded Dad for months to build you one.”
“Remember going out there after he died, but before Mama lost the house?”
I nodded, finding Marley’s hand and grabbing it. “Yeah, I do.”
I felt her body tremble beside me as big, fat rain drops began to fall. “I think it would have been the best tree house on the block.”
“The way Dad doted on you, it would have been a tree mansion by the time he was done with it.”
Losing my father was hard enough when I was just eight, but having to be faced with the constant reminders of his life made it even more difficult. The worst was looking out our back window at a tree that he had begun to build a house in for Marley and me. The night that Mama had explained to us that Dad had gone to heaven and wouldn’t be coming back, I remember glancing out there and seeing Marley sitting on the lone wood plank that he had set up as the foundation of the tree house. Nearly every night that we lived in that house, we would go out there and simply lay down and look at the stars.
“This reminds me of that,” I said softly. “Of those nights in the tree house.”
The sound of thunder boomed around us and we remained on that roof, not caring that we were both drenched from the late summer downpour cloaking the town.
“Me, too,” Marley said. “I think that’s why I like coming out here so much. It reminds me of ‘before’. It makes me feel closer to Dad. I always swore I could hear him talking to me in that tree house and, some nights when I’m out here, I can still hear him.”
“What does he say?”
She turned to face me and almost broke into tears. “That he’s proud of you. That he can’t believe how much of him he sees in you. That he’s happy you don’t let anyone or anything influence your decisions. That he’s thankful you’ve never abandoned me.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ – BROKEN COURSE (WRECKED AND RUINED #3) BY ALY MARTINEZ
Title: Broken Course (Wrecked and Ruined, #3)
Author: Aly Martinez
Release Date: November 10, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Blurb
Seven years ago, my life changed forever. One accident and the person I saw in the mirror no longer resembled the woman I used to be. I was lost and confused inside my own body. I felt alone and disconnected from the world, carrying the incredible weight of guilt and loss that wasn’t even mine to harbor.
Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn’t hurt to breathe. Don’t get me wrong. Leo isn’t perfect. He has his own cross to bear, and the truth is, that might be why I fell for him in the first place. But despite everything he does for me, learning to forgive myself is infinitely harder than overlooking the flaws of another.
Now, the secrets and lies of our past have begun to dictate our future—threatening to ruin us before we get the chance to try. Perhaps we were cursed from the start. Or maybe, just maybe, the remnants of our fractured lives will fit together to form one whole, where love isn’t questioned and being happy is…well, easy.
Can a second broken soul be enough to fill the voids of my own? Or will such scarred pasts prove too much for our love alone to overcome?
**Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone.**

Prologue
“Daddy, you can’t do this!” I screamed at my father as he threw my belongings into a suitcase. “Daddy, please!”
He didn’t look at me, he just continued hurriedly. I had known my Father was in too deep with some not so nice people, but I had never imagined he would use his own daughter as collateral in a deal that had now gone sour. I was his child, his blood; my little brother Devon and I were all he had. Our mother had passed away 5 years ago and we had stuck by each other solidly. His struggles with money had only started in the past year as his gambling and drug addiction worsened. It had quickly consumed him as the more we struggled, the deeper he dove into his dodgy dealings, bets and card games with high powered people while I stayed at home, making sure my 16 year old brother got to school on time, got fed and kept out of trouble. At 20 I was his surrogate parent.
Unbeknown to me, last night he had gone on a bender and joined a poker game with some of the richest men known in the neighbouring cities. He was running out of things to place on the table and after he lost our small house that we had bought with my mother’s life insurance, I thought he would have walked away. But here I was pleading with all my heart for him to not let them take me after he placed on the table his only daughter.
“He will look after you, which is more than what I can do.” He muttered quietly, still unable to look me in the eye. Tears flowed freely down my cheeks, staining my beautiful blue blouse. “I’m going to send Devon to live with Aunt May, so don’t worry about him. You need to put your head down, be polite and gracious, Sam. And he won’t hurt you.”
I sniffed and sobbed as I followed him out of my room and down our short hall. Pictures littered the walls, I stopped at one of my Mother and I, her bright green eyes shimmered back at me and I swallowed hard trying to force back the tears that threatened to breach my eyes. I touched my lips lightly and reached out, placing my fingertips to her cheek. Oh how I missed her. People told me I looked just like her. We were both petite at a small 5 foot 2 inches and weighing no more than around 55kgs. But the thing I loved the most that I inherited from her beauty was my long wavy red hair. It was a dark red but in the light it shone a bright orange. Some people were ashamed of their ginger hair, but I wore mine with pride, my Mother always telling me how beautiful and unique it was. She would have never let this happen, she would have never bargained me for money. I felt anger rise in my stomach, anger at my Father. He was selfish and an addict, maybe in some fucked up reality this was actually my escape from a man who just didn’t care enough about his own daughter to fight for her, to keep her safe.
I wiped away the tears that had now trickled lightly down my cheeks and took a couple of deep breaths. I didn’t want to show this man who had bought me any weakness. I would be polite and accepting but I would be strong. Strength.
I walked into our lounge with my chin up and confidence in my stride. My Dad was handing my suitcase to a large man dressed in a black suit. He looked like a bodyguard; he was huge. And not in the sexy muscle kind of way, but in the eats too many donuts for breakfast and doesn’t run enough kind of way. There were two other men that resembled him standing and one sitting in my Father’s large arm chair. He was handsome, older, maybe in his late thirty’s. He had rings glittering on his fingers and a light gold chain hung around his neck. His hair was short, like a buzz cut and a light brown colour, nothing exciting. But when he looked at me, his dark blue eyes bore intensely into my soul. I was about to be owned and the darkness behind those deep pools was unmistakable.
He rose to his feet and quietly moved towards me. I glanced quickly at my Father. He stood, hanging his head shamefully, still unable to look me in the eye. He’d just gambled away his daughter’s freedom, he should feel shame. A soft gentle hand lifted mine and my eyes shot back to the man in front of me. He smiled, almost softly.
“Hello, Samantha.” He lifted my hand to his mouth and brushed it across my knuckles. “My name is Charles. I expect you are ready to leave?”
I swallowed and took a deep breath, polite and gracious my father had said. I was unaware of what this man was capable of so for now, I would play the part until I could figure out how to get myself out of this mess my idiot Father had created.
“Yes, Sir.” I said, unable to meet his eyes.
His smile grew a little as I expected he was pleased he would not need to drag me kicking and screaming through the door. He kept my hand in his light grasp as he led me past my Father. I didn’t even bother to look up at him as Charles stopped briefly,
“Until we meet again Daniel. Thank you for your business.”
We walked slowly down the front steps of my small house, his hand still held gently to mine. Strangely I didn’t feel scared. Strength. That’s all I needed.
“Sam!!” I turned to see Devon sprinting out the front door and racing towards me, tears uncharacteristically streaking his cheeks. He was always the strong one, I was usually the crier. But for right now, I needed to be his strength. I need to show him I was okay. Charles dropped my hand as Devon dived into the arms I didn’t realise I had stretched out to him.
“Don’t go Sam, Please!”
I looked up at the man who now owned me, pleading for just a moment with my brother, he smiled softly and nodded, climbing into the back of the large SUV parked at the curb.
I took my little brothers face between my hands and held his gaze.
“Listen Devon. You are gonna go to Aunt Mays, you’re gonna finish school, you’re gonna do your best and I will always be proud of you.” He shook his head profusely. “Strength, Dev. I’ll see you soon.”
I pulled his face to my shoulder and wrapped my arms around him. I sometimes wonder if I would have run had I known Charles wouldn’t allow me to see Devon. But after he threatened Dev’s life if I even thought about trying to escape him, I decided to stay as far from my little brother as possible and just hope like hell he’s okay.
Hope.
Strength.

RELEASE DAY ~ CONQUER by S.J. McGran
Title: Conquer (Triumph #2)
Synopsis
That is until a certain man walked into my life and turned it upside down. He’s the only person that’s been able to see through the lies, the bullshit masks. He turns every wall I’ve carefully constructed around my broken heart to rubble.
Without questioning it, without asking for permission he takes my heart and makes it his.
The question is can I get over my own fears, the suffocating disbelief in happily ever after to give him what he needs? What he deserves?
“I’m still mad at you,” Ryan announces as we’re pulling into my parents’ driveway. “I can’t believe you used my body against me.”“Oh, quit it. Don’t act like you’re above using sex to get what you want.”We step out of the car and make our way towards the house, before we get to the front door Ryan pushes my back against the siding. “Just for that little stunt, you’re mine tonight. All night. Don’t forget you promised I can have it anyway I want it tonight.”“How convenient that you remember that part of the discussion.” My tone is exasperated, a smile just begging to be freed but I refuse to give in. That is until he gifts me with his unfairly sexy crooked grin, his blue eyes shining with mischief.
With his mouth on mine he makes delicious promises, and for the first time I wish Thanksgiving was already over. “All night, baby. All fucking night long.”
With one final knee-weakening kiss he steps back and walks away. It takes me another second to catch up, I keep picturing Ryan bending me over the dining room table and fucking me from behind. Fuck, I want that. Can we go home now?
Stepping towards him I roll my eyes at the victorious look in his eyes, he knows he has me. He knows me well enough to know that I’m all worked up and ready to go now. What he may not know, but is about to learn, is that I’m just as good — if not better — at teasing than he is.
Bring it on, Ryan. Bring. It. On.
