Heroes Out of Uniform Series by Christa Wick

Hard, Hot and Sweet — Heroes out of Uniform are all that and more! Stopping at a strip club from his younger days, former Army Captain Thomas Wylie wants nothing more than the best pork rub in all of Memphis. But the club has changed. Like Wylie, it's gotten harder and rough around the edges. Determined to finish his limp cheeseburger and leave, he's all but out the door when a plus-size beauty walks on stage and starts to dance amid catcalls and disgruntled hisses... moreHard, Hot and Sweet — Heroes out of Uniform are all that and more! Stopping at a strip club from his younger days, former Army Captain Thomas Wylie wants nothing more than the best pork rub in all of Memphis. But the club has changed. Like Wylie, it's gotten harder and rough around the edges. Determined to finish his limp cheeseburger and leave, he's all but out the door when a plus-size beauty walks on stage and starts to dance amid catcalls and disgruntled hisses. Working the pole under the stage name of Gaia, Rhea Butler knows she's more than twice the size of the next largest dancer at the club. She's reminded three times a night, six nights a week as she starts each shift and has to win the audience over one jeering patron at a time. Rhea doesn't want the men's admiration, just their money. She has a debt she can never work off, but she's doing the best she can, one dance at a time. She's certain that's all life has on tap for her -- until Wylie shows up at her other job determined to prove her wrong. ******************** Heroes out of Uniform are standalone shorts, novellas and novels featuring men with military backgrounds. What sets these titles apart from other stories I have with soldiers and sailors is the SWEETNESS factor. These men are protective and fierce, but they aren’t into being an alphahole (but if that's what you like, I can hook you up there, too!). Dirty Sweet Curves is the third HOOU title, following Curve Major (previously Sexting Curves) and Curvy when Wet. I’ll be doing more soon, so be on the lookout for Curve Drill and check out http://www.christawick.com/heroesouto... less

Once upon a time, the ocean fascinated me with its unending beauty and otherworldly creatures. Now, its mere image terrifies me. Maybe that's not a big deal for most people, but I spent the last four years studying to become a marine biologist. That's not the worst of it. Corwin Hale, the big, bad Navy SEAL I've known forever, finds out about my sudden phobia and insists on fixing me. That's not the solution I need... moreOnce upon a time, the ocean fascinated me with its unending beauty and otherworldly creatures. Now, its mere image terrifies me.

Corwin Hale, the big, bad Navy SEAL I've known forever, finds out about my sudden phobia and insists on fixing me. That's not the solution I need. All Corwin can do is lead me into the deepest waters of my life and break my heart. But I can't tell him that. less

He was never supposed to get that text. That dirty, dirty text. To be fair, I'm actually the dictionary definition of a good girl.  ...Except when I'm thinking about him. And now that he knows how I feel, what I've been hiding from him this entire time, he won't let me hide from it. He certainly won't let me run from it. The thing is, he's been hiding his feelings from me too. And his version of dirty? So much better than mine... moreHe was never supposed to get that text. That dirty, dirty text.
