  In book five of Galactic Cage Fighters: The Sledge Hammer is one tough, mean, and very huge fighter for the Galactic Cage Fighters Association. He doesn’t take crap from anyone and if a person makes the mistake of pissing him off, they pay for it—painfully. He prides himself on being able to handle any kind of situation that arises. He is unafraid of anyone or anything—well except for the kids.

  A terrible tragedy leaves the halfsie fighter the sole guardian of his sister’s children. His life is about to be turned upside down and inside out. No longer responsible for just himself, he must find a way to balance working the hectic schedule as a top GCFA fighter—with being a single parent. He finds that it is not as easy as he thought. How much trouble can three young children be?

  Molly Maynard is ready for a fresh start. The divorce she has been waiting two long years for is finally within her grasp. She wants a new life for herself, free of her lying, cheating ex-husband. When she ends up homeless, jobless, and with limited funds available to her and with few choices remaining, she agrees to take a job traveling with the Galactic Cage Fighters' Association as a nanny for one of their fighters.

  Hammer expects the usual nanny the company sends for replacements—the stuffy, uptight, old, and half-senile. The nannies never last long around his kids. He doesn’t think the newest nanny will be any different. It’s a real shame because Nanny Molly was hot! He needed this nanny so he was imperative he keep his mind and—his hands—off the nanny and her curvaceous body.

  Will Molly be able to ignore her growing attraction to the enormous fighter? Will Hammer be able to keep his relationship with Molly strictly business? And will either of them survive the kids?

  Excerpt from Katieran Prime

  Prologue

  “The Sledge Hammer slams the Slurchan to the floor! He had better watch his back because the Slurchan managed to wiggle his body enough to tag out and now his fighting partner is heading toward Hammer. He’s a full Beastial and he looks pissed.”

  “Look at that Johann! Both of them have Hammer pinned to the mat trying to get the referee to count it down.”

  “This is incredible and it is only round one!”

  "For those of you just tuning in, Welcome to the GCFA. You missed a great first round but stay with us, you are not going to want to miss the rest of this match. Are they, Johann?"

  "Not on their lives, Poland. This is turning out to be a great showing for the Biclops."

  The commentators continued to give stats on the opponents while waiting for the bell to ring, signaling the start of round two.

  Hammer ignored the crowd as he pushed his way back to his feet when the bell rang for the start of round two. He was larger than either of his opponents, but the Beastial was almost as strong as him. His fighting partner for the match, Zen, was calling from the sidelines trying to get him to tag him in. Hammer shook his head. He needed to get the Beastial tired out first as he headed straight for his opponent.

  Hammer countered a left hook from the Beastial and traded jabs. He tagged the body consecutively while the Beastial tried to counter the left hooks. Hammer threw a few good combinations and managed to get the Beastial to the fence. Then he was able to hit him in the back of his head with his large hands. The Beastial used his abilities and his body grew bigger. He was now almost a match for Hammer in size and strength. The Beastial took adva
ntage and worked behind his jab as Hammer advanced. The bell ended with round two.

  Zen gave him a towel to wipe his sweat off with. “Are you tagging me in any time soon?”

  Hammer grunted. “Just trying to tire the Beastial out.”

  Zen turned toward the crowed and pumped his arms. Females cried out to him. “Zen! You are so hot!” He waved at them and turned back toward Hammer.

  “Want me to get us some female company lined up for tonight?”

  Hammer gave him a crooked smile. “Absolutely.”

  “You finish this match, and leave the ladies to the Zen master.” The bell rang again.

  When the bell rang for round three the Beastial came out fast, landing a kick and a counter left hook. Hammer pushed him into the corner and briefly roughed him up. The Beastial right handed him and then tied him up. Hammer gave a left hook downstairs and a solid right over the top. The Beastial responded with a long straight, then countered a charging Hammer with the right. Hammer landed another left up top and jabbed the body.

  He noticed the Beastial was breathing hard. He was finally tiring him out. He tried to tag his partner, but Hammer was blocking his pathway. The Beastial tried to dodge him. Hammer stalked forward. He landed a series of jabs and one more blow that knocked the Beastial down. He mounted him and continued delivering blow after blow. The Beastial was unable to get Hammer off him. One last left hook and the Beastial was out.

  Hammer stood and waited for the referee to count it down. The referee, a mechanical arm with monitors, surveyed the downed opponent. It counted down and then called the match. The bell rang and Hammer and Zen had won the pair match.

  Hammer lifted his arms toward the crowd and there was a roar of applause throughout the arena. Females were screaming for him. He smiled showing off his dimples.

  “The Biclops has defeated the Beastial!” Johann and Poland yelled. “Look at how the crowd has gone crazy.”

  “Hammer has proven once again why he should be feared in the cage. He is something to see,” Poland announced.

  Hammer left the cage with Zen trailing behind him working the crowd. He frowned when he saw Davies, the head of security, waiting for him.

  “Hammer, I need a minute of your time!” Davies tried yelling over the crowd.

  “Let’s go to the holding room,” Hammer said and motioned his way down the hallway.

  Hammer grabbed a towel once he got in the empty room. Everyone else was out near the sidelines watching the final match for the evening. Zen plopped down in a nearby chair.

  “What is it, Davies?” Hammer asked, watching the TV screen.

  “There’s been an accident, with your sister and her husband.”

  “What kind of accident? Are they hurt? Are they in the hospital?” Hammer felt a prickle of fear.

  “They…didn’t survive the wreck.”

  Hammer felt like someone had knocked the wind out of him. What was he going to do now?

  Chapter One

  One Year Later…

  “I didn’t take your diary!” a little boy’s voice was so loud Hammer could hear it down the hallway before he reached his suite. His nephew, Tomas, had a very distinguishing tone to his voice. Especially when he screamed at the top of his lungs.

  “Yes you did you little bug! Give it back to me!” a girl’s voice screeched. That would be his oldest niece, Lauren.

  As Hammer turned the handle to the door, he heard crying from his youngest niece, Kate. Damn it! What the hell was going on here?

  “What the…heck...is going on here?” he demanded, catching himself before he cursed. One of the hardest things he had to learn to change about himself once he became a guardian to his nieces and nephew. He wasn’t supposed to cuss in front of them. It was a hard lesson to learn and costly. The kids made him put money in the cuss cup every time he slipped. The cup usually had to be emptied at least twice a month into a bigger container. Some things were just harder to adjust to than others.

  Everyone in the room froze at his booming voice. Hammer angry was a scary sight. Hammer immediately had to soften his features and lower his tone, “Lauren, let your brother out of that chokehold. What happened? Where is Nanny Johnson?”

  His fourteen-year-old niece released her arm, letting her ten-year-old brother go. She huffed pushing her curly blond hair out of her face. “She quit.”

  “She quit and just left you three unattended?” Hammer was fuming again. If he was a Voltan there would probably be smoke coming out of his ears.

  His nephew had a smirk on his face. It made Hammer’s stomach drop. What had they done to the poor woman?

  “Yeah, she said she couldn’t take it anymore and that we should be put in cages somewhere like a zoo,” Tomas told him.

  His fear for the woman evaporated as his anger returned. “She said what?!”

  His two-year-old niece Kate walked over to him and held on to his knee. He let out a sigh and leaned down to lift her up into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She was still sniffling.

  “It’s going to be okay, Katie girl. Uncle Hammer is here now.”

  “I…not goin' to cage?” she asked with fearful eyes.

  “No, of course not. But I may see that Nanny Johnson gets put behind bars.”

  “She...not nice. Tomas got rid of ‘er.”

  Hammer glared down at his nephew. Tomas just glared back up at him defiantly. He knew the boy had something to do with all the other nannies quitting. This would be nanny number five. What was he going to do with the boy? The nanny service told him that Nanny Johnson was the last available nanny that could travel with him while he did the circuit. What was he going to do about a nanny?

  “Tomas, you are grounded until further notice and give your sister her diary back!”

  *****

  Molly was pissed. She had been in court all day listening to other people’s cases being heard—everyone’s except for hers. She sat through assault cases, deadbeat dads, divorces, separations, and property division.

  She didn’t plan on things turning out this way. When she first met her husband, Jerry, about four years ago, she was instantly attracted to him. Jerry Fields was a very good-looking man with blond hair and light blue eyes. She couldn’t believe he was interested in her.

  Molly was five feet eight inches with a very voluptuous figure. She had plain brown hair and brown eyes. Either men didn’t ask her out because she was taller than them or they didn’t ask her out because of her larger size. She wasn’t fat but her body type for her height was generous.

  So when Jerry asked her out she jumped at the opportunity. When he asked her to marry him six months later, she was thrilled. It wasn’t until after the first year of marriage that she realized she had made a huge mistake.

  Jerry criticized her job, saying that she needed to be making more money. Even though Jerry went through six different jobs in their two years of marriage. He constantly complained that she was too fat and needed to lose weight. He had used her income to help him get credit cards, then ran the bills up. He couldn’t pay them because he was always in between jobs. He blamed his employers, saying they promised him a raise or they didn’t appreciate his talents.

  When she threatened to leave him, he would make a grand gesture with flowers and say how he wanted to start a family. One of the other big issues she had was the flirting he did with other women. He swore it was all innocent. She would find texts on his phone from women. He lied and made excuses. One day, she came home early and found him in bed with her friend. That was when she called the lawyer.

  Two years of a miserable marriage and a year of separation. She knew this would be a waste of her time. Every time she came to court, Jerry would make some excuse to extend the case. Twelve postponed court cases, the divorce she desperately wanted seemed to be no closer to happening because Jerry failed to show up once more. Now her job was at risk for having to take so many days off for going to court.

  She worked at a daycare for kids. She lov
ed her job and the kids but they had to have people there they could count on. Her boss plainly told her that she needed to seek employment that was more flexible for her needs. She sighed. She was going to lose her job and her apartment, which was exactly what Jerry wanted. She heard her name called and looked up in hope.

  “Case of Molly Maynard vs. Jerry Fields. Divorce proceedings and division of shared property. Are both parties present?” the judge asked.

  Molly stood. “I am here your honor.”

  Everyone looked around for Jerry. His lawyer stood with a reddened face. “Your honor, Mr. Fields is not able to come today. He is out of the region on business. We ask to postpone this case until December.”

  The judge glared at the lawyer. “This is the twelfth time that Mr. Fields has not made an attempt to come to the hearing. My patience has come to an end. I am granting Miss Maynard her divorce. She has waited long enough. I want the property divided evenly. No more postponement. Both counsels will sit down and hash this out this afternoon, and have the property settlement to me first thing in the morning. If you do not have it to me by then, all property will be seized, sold, and the proceeds divided down the middle.”

  “Yes, Your Honor,” both lawyers said, shuffling their paperwork.

  Wait…what just happened? She was divorced now? For real? She followed her lawyer out of the courtroom. His chubby face was red and he seemed to be breathing heavy.
