Plot: Everyone belongs somewhere. Even the misfits.
With the looming threat from the Mancuso Crime Family, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club is preparing for a war that could destroy them. Grady, the club’s Sergeant-at-Arms, knows that love makes you weak, and he has zero interest in adding to his liabilities-- especially now. He's already got his teenage daughter who keeps him on his toes and a beef within the club that could fracture his relationship with a fellow brother for good.
For Holly Mercer, her life is finally getting on track and the last thing she wants is trouble from her hometown’s resident outlaws. Keeping her nose clean is easier said than done, when suddenly she finds herself embroiled in club business. Holly might like the idea of being with a real-life bad boy, but even being in the same room with tough-as-nails Grady flusters her.

Excerpt ✮☆

“Did you just call
me a bitch again?” I shout as loud as I can. My voice is screechy
and on the edge of breaking into a full-on wail. If I thought I could
take him, I think I’d slap him right here and now. Thin as the
grasp on reality might be, I can still see clearly enough to stop
myself from trying to hobble from the bed and show him exactly how
much I detest his use of that word.
Mr. Grady’s
jaw ticks, and, in an instant, he’s pushed himself off of the wall.
Several long strides and he’s got one knee on the edge of the bed
and the other is thrown over my hips. His broad torso blocks the
light from the hallway, and he rests his left forearm on the pillows
beside me. He reaches out with his right arm and grasps me by my neck
and jerks my head in close to his face. He breathes heavily on my
skin, dampening my face in his scent.
“I’m being nice.
Do not think that means I’m going to put up with your mouth. My
brothers and I are going to count on you to keep quiet about the shit
that went down. You cannot go off half-cocked like you just did. If
you don’t keep your mouth shut, I’m going to let one of my
brothers enjoy the pleasure of your company.”
“Are you
threatening me?” I ask. My voice is so steady and cold that I don’t
even know how I’m doing it. Inside I’m freaking the hell out.
Maybe it’s the trauma of the situation that’s driving me, or
maybe I’m just stupid.
“I don’t make
threats. I make promises.”
Thrash and Ride books 1 & 2 in the series will be $.99 until June 2!!
Ride (Bayonet Scars, #1)
Death comes
in Armani. Salvation comes in leather.Principessa to the Mancuso crime family, Alexandra knows a thing or two about living outside the bounds of the law. Suffocated by the future her father has laid out for her, she makes a choice she can't take back, changing the entire trajectory of her life.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club for her own protection, Alex finds herself faced with the last thing she needs right now: the man of her dreams. He’s sex in leather, the devil incarnate, and one hell of a kisser. But he’s also off-limits. Ryan Stone can be her friend, but he’s forbidden to be her lover.
Third-generation Forsaken, Ryan knows nothing other than life on two wheels, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He enjoys the many privileges that come with the patch, and the only laws he recognizes are the ones set-forth by his club. That is, until who he wants more than anything isn’t allowed on the back of his bike —or in his bed. Balancing his desire for her body, and need to keep her safe, Ryan tries to keep Alex at a distance. Finally having made a choice for herself, she’s done hearing the word “no” and will push boundaries even Ryan himself doesn’t dare cross.
Love is never more tempting than when it’s forbidden.
THRASH (Bayonet Scars, #2)
Loneliness
suffocates the heart. Acceptance breaks down walls.As a Lost Girl to the Forsaken Motorcycle Club, Nicole Whelan knows how to party. She’s not cut-out for relationships and her life is way too complicated for anything more than casual encounters. But one night when she falls into Duke’s bed at the clubhouse, he sees something in her that he can’t let go of—no matter how many times she tries to run.
Having been left to raise her teenage brother, Jeremy, she’s already got her hands full and isn’t looking for anymore complications. But Duke’s just watched his best friend fall for the only girl he couldn’t have, and then almost lose her so shortly after, shaking him to his core. Faced with his own loneliness, he’s more determined than ever to break down Nic’s walls and show her that he can be good for her; but he’s got a bad track record and she’s got a bad temper. Changing his ways isn’t easy when he’s not sure what he’s even changing for.
The violence and turmoil are at an all-time high, and Forsaken is in a vulnerable place when a twist of fate breathes new life into the club. It’s a much-needed beacon of hope for the embattled biker family, even if everyone’s not exactly on board. With Duke and Nic’s relationship already on shaky ground, and something even more important at stake, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club will fight like hell to keep their family together and whole.
Love is never more precious than when it’s new.
