The Asylum Fight Club Series by Tibby Armstrong, Bianca Sommerland

If there were an emergency number for adulthood, Matt Kincaid would have dialed it months ago. Raising his kid brother alone is already an uphill battle, nevermind when an ugly gang initiation lands the teen in lockup. Again. Only, this time for a hate crime against a local fight club, where settling debts isn’t taken lightly. When the club offers to let Matt risk everything in a long-shot match with a man who’s as brutally handsome as he is tough, he jumps at the chance... moreIf there were an emergency number for adulthood, Matt Kincaid would have dialed it months ago. Raising his kid brother alone is already an uphill battle, nevermind when an ugly gang initiation lands the teen in lockup. Again. Only, this time for a hate crime against a local fight club, where settling debts isn’t taken lightly. When the club offers to let Matt risk everything in a long-shot match with a man who’s as brutally handsome as he is tough, he jumps at the chance. If Matt wins, all will be forgiven. If not? Well, he might as well move in, because ‘The Law’ will own his ass...for a very long time. There are no limits to what Lawson ‘The Law’ Gaumond will do to protect the club he and his former lovers built. An inner-city sanctuary where Anniston Falls’ gay leather culture thrives, The Asylum Fight Club isn’t an easy place, but it’s home. Taking on a local hothead whose younger brother vandalized the space isn’t high on his priority list, but there’s something about Matt that cries out for a firm hand. Lawson’s never backed down from a fight, and he’s not about to start when there’s no way he can lose. When renewed gang violence erupts, spilling blood over The Asylum, Lawson and Matt must confront their pasts to find a way forward. Gunshots and knives should be harder to survive than this rough love, but coming to the ring armed with nothing but the truth is their greatest challenge of all. less

Raised and trained by The Asylum Fight Club's most infamous owner, Reed Dane is almost untouchable. Might sound dope, but there are disadvantages to his 'privileged' status. His guardian's reputation makes a serious relationship impossible—turns out the club's members are addicted to breathing—and the one man Reed truly wants sees him only as a stray his former lover brought home... moreRaised and trained by The Asylum Fight Club's most infamous owner, Reed Dane is almost untouchable. Might sound dope, but there are disadvantages to his 'privileged' status. His guardian's reputation makes a serious relationship impossible—turns out the club's members are addicted to breathing—and the one man Reed truly wants sees him only as a stray his former lover brought home. An endless string of one-night stands lacks the intimacy Reed craves, but at least edgy post-fight hookups distract him from what he'll never have. Until he takes a wrecking ball to the walls that set him apart. Curtis Smith is a lot of things—MMA fighter, club owner...son of a drug lord—but one thing he's not is prepared to face temptation exploding past his carefully built boundaries. Reed is forbidden, to him most of all, but resisting what they both want becomes impossible with the sub challenging him at every turn. And with his past threatening everything The Asylum has been built to protect, Curtis can't afford to be addicted to Reed's brand of candy coated sin. He can't deny himself one taste before his stolen time runs out. Because when it does, all that will be left behind for Reed is a memory… And his heart. less

Scandalous headlines threaten to turn Jamie Kent from a pop star to a pariah on the regular, but this latest one is a little too close for comfort. The Asylum Fight Club seems like a good place to hide out...until he has to prove he belongs - deep in a lifestyle with a contract and rules he breaks within the first five minutes. Staying means complete surrender, but a lifetime scripting love songs didn't prepare him to give his heart to the one man who claims everything he has to offer... moreScandalous headlines threaten to turn Jamie Kent from a pop star to a pariah on the regular, but this latest one is a little too close for comfort. The Asylum Fight Club seems like a good place to hide out...until he has to prove he belongs - deep in a lifestyle with a contract and rules he breaks within the first five minutes. Staying means complete surrender, but a lifetime scripting love songs didn't prepare him to give his heart to the one man who claims everything he has to offer. The day he returns from prison. Reputation has its own kind of power in a place where pain and pleasure depend on who's in control. Entangled in the lives of those he'd give anything to protect, Noah Leonov rarely takes chances, but the hardened fighter refuses to abandon the vulnerable new sub to vultures who could tear his life apart with a camera flash. With the cage where he spent two years fresh in his mind, Noah won't trap the man he loves in his brutal world. Jamie deserves the glamour and fame, where he can have more than a broken man can provide. He belongs in the spotlight. Neither man ever had the choice to decide their own destiny. Imprisoned by the roles they're forced to play, their key to freedom might be to do the unexpected. Refuse to let go. less

Breaking a few rules didn't seem like a huge deal. With his name on several government assasination lists, Wren Gibson's prison sentence might've been the shortest in hacker history, until an unlikely rescue lands him behind the sturdy brick walls of The Asylum Fight Club. Where everyone can game the rules, yet he's forbidden from even placing his piece on the board. But one Dom tempts him to gamble everything... moreBreaking a few rules didn't seem like a huge deal. With his name on several government assasination lists, Wren Gibson's prison sentence might've been the shortest in hacker history, until an unlikely rescue lands him behind the sturdy brick walls of The Asylum Fight Club. Where everyone can game the rules, yet he's forbidden from even placing his piece on the board. But one Dom tempts him to gamble everything. The Asylum's resident, on-call medic, Jared "Doc" McCleod is familiar with the histories of every man who crosses the club's threshold. Their pain, their fear... Of them all, only Wren has held on to his secrets, a fascinating contrast with how completely he gives up control. As the general on the front lines of The Asylum's internal and external battles, it's Jared's duty to make certain the quiet sub with soulful brown eyes doesn't fly under his radar for long. Showing his hand could cost them both. When Jared takes on the task of helping Wren recover from an unexpected injury, Wren begins to wonder. While the Dom is tending to everyone else, who is there for him? To show Jared he can be the sub he needs, he would willingly light himself on fire. For an ex-con with a target on his back, risking that kind of notice is a dangerous strategy, but... Sometimes, getting what you want requires going all in. less
