Down and Dirty, the first all-new standalone romance in the steamy Italian Stallion Series from New York Times bestselling author Mari Carr is available now!
Confirmed bachelors Tony Moretti and Dr. Reece Beaumont share the same motto—work hard, play harder. But when fate drops a homeless waitress and her young son on their doorstep, their wild and free lifestyle takes a sharp turn. Their desire to help her is only surpassed by their desire to claim her, share her, make her theirs.
Jess has one goal in life—protect her son. But when an overcrowded shelter puts her and Jasper out on the street in the dead of winter, she fears she's going to fail that mission. Help comes in the form of not one, but two sexy saviors.
Tony and Reece offer Jess a place to stay and security, and there's no denying the chemistry between the three of them. However, Jess's past is lined with people who've hurt her and she's not looking to add anyone else to that list. No matter how persuasive, how determined, how deliciously possessive her new roommates are.
Fall in love with Tony and Reece!

What stands out immediately are the vividly drawn characters who feel authentic and deeply relatable. Jess’s bravery and determination in the face of hardship evoke genuine empathy—her strength is quietly heroic, balancing kindness, pride, and an unwavering love for her son.

Tony and Rhy, initially portrayed as confirmed bachelors, undergo a remarkable emotional evolution, illustrating the power of connection and the unexpected ways life can shift when you open your heart.
The plot deftly navigates themes of love, acceptance, and the creation of family beyond traditional boundaries. Despite the emotional weight of the story, it never feels overwhelming; rather, it uplifts through the characters’ growth and the warmth of their evolving bonds. The chemistry between the trio is electric yet nuanced, making their intimate moments feel meaningful and more than fleeting passion. Supporting figures, like Tony’s affectionate and nurturing aunt, enrich the narrative with heartfelt touches that underscore the importance of chosen family and community.
Ultimately, this novel is a celebration of second chances and the unexpected joys that arise from embracing life’s uncertainties. It’s a story about how generosity and love can grant new beginnings and deepen connections in ways that transcend circumstance.
