Shelter From The Storm (The Bare Bones MC Book 6)

by Layla Wolfe

  “Mm. I approve.”

  Fox bent his head to kiss me, but another guy was shouting practically in our ear.

  “Fox! Get on out here!” yelled Lytton. After a rocky start, Dr. Driving Hawk seemed to be Fox’s best friend now. “I want to see the two of you do a victory dance to whatever the hell this music is. And you need to try a puff of your old lady’s new Dabba Doo strain.”

  Fox shouted back almost in Lytton’s face. “You know I can’t do any of that, Lyt. I might get pee tested over at the bird place.” That was true. Marijuana stayed in your system for-fucking-ever, and Fox’s job was a nonprofit.

  “You can’t just walk through the smoke? Some women guests just said it’s the best thing they’ve ever tasted. One of them is trying it for her cancer pain.”

  I perked up. “Really? Come on, Fox.” I was out of the room before him, almost jogging a few doors down. I really needed my high-CBD strain to be a hit.

  “Whoa, slow down, nelly,” said Fox, so I did.

  We walked together, his arm slung over my shoulders. He said, “Don’t worry about your Dabba Doo. It’s already a success from what Lytton said last week.”

  “Yeah. I know. I just get so nervous about succeeding.”

  “I get it. You weren’t exactly praised for your work in the warehouse, and that Russ dickhead stole your research at the Coast Guard. But you know what? You don’t need to worry anymore.”

  “Why not?”

  “Because you’ve created a life here, a story that has a happy ending. No more dickheads and abusive criminals. Pippa Lofting is a success in Pure and Easy. Pippa Lofting is helping a lot of people in pain.”

  “Pippa Lofting loves you.”

  “And Pippa Lofting never has to worry about anything like that ever again.”

  I knew Fox Isherwood told the truth. Because he’d created his own story where he never had to worry about that shit again, too.

  Book #1 in The Bare Bones MC series

  If you ain’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room.

  The rose-colored illusion of Madison Shellmound’s girlish crush on biker Ford Illuminati is stomped into smithereens by his crude father Cropper, Bare Bones motorcycle club President. Fearing Ford will kill Cropper if he finds out, Madison flees, becoming an upstanding cardiology nurse.

  Madison and Ford have an ill-fated, star-crossed love that will last their lifetimes. Ford is a lifer in a different sort of enterprise, the gritty full-throttle club of guns, blood, and allegiance to his brothers. Twelve years and several tours of SEAL duty later, Ford is thrust back into Madison’s arms on the worst day of his life. Madison’s prospect brother Speed has screwed up big-time and owes the club his life. She offers herself to Cropper as a sacrificial lamb to save Speed.

  But how long until the fiery, full-on outlaw Ford discovers that the woman he loves was treated like a degraded slave by his own father? Well, meet the new boss. He’s not the same as the old boss.

  A Dangerous Reality

  The Bent Zealots MC Book 1

  www.amazon.com/dp/B00S4BZHZU

  Keep your lovers close—and your enemies in bed.

  TURK. My club sent me to track him down. And when my mission was over, I never wanted another one again. When I found him, I kicked the crap out of Havelock Singer. I issued the mightiest beatdown of all time. Problem is, we’re evenly matched. We’re equals in every way, and when we finished whaling on each other, exhausted, we fell into each other’s arms.

  I’ve never regretted it for an instant. It’s been the ride of my life. But loving another man in the MC world is a risky business. As if our business isn’t already brutal and ruthless enough, Lock’s homophobic sergeant-at-arms Stumpy gets an eyeful of our lovemaking and blackmails us into doing some of his dirty work, or be exposed for what we are—a couple of deviants. This run into the Indian reservation is sleazy and beneath us, but now I’m cornered, and I’ll do anything to keep my sweet Master from being lynched by his club.

  LOCK. When that kingpin Carmine Rojas got a load of my beautiful stallion Turk Blackburn, he’d stop at nothing to have him—and Rojas gets what he wants. It’s my fault we’re in this situation. I should’ve kicked Turk’s ass and sent him packing back to The Bare Bones. I wasn’t even close to being ready to come out, but now they’re forcing my hand.

  I can hear my destiny calling me. Either I’ll slink back to my club like a hetero bounty hunter with no morals—and no respect from anyone in my own backyard—or I’ll step up to the plate and be the lion of the day. Either way, my lover and I are screwed. Our clubs are going to hound us underground or into another country before we escape this mess—if we don’t die trying.

  “Living off the grid and being an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.” –Ron Perlman

  Publisher’s warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains scenes of gay sex, consensual BDSM, illegal doings, dubious consent, and man-on-man violence. There is no cheating and a HEA.

  A Gorgeous Mess

  The Bent Zealots MC Book 2

  www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0WHQOQ

  Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

  ANSON: I was just a mercenary back from fighting the good fight overseas. I was on a quest for my father, my roots, looking for answers. Turk Blackburn, Bent Zealots MC Prez, ordered me on
a fresh operation to prove myself, my guts, my valor. Infiltrate the Navajo Rez and find out who is claiming the Zealots’ turf, using kids to cook drugs.

  My partner is the famous badge slut, Ormond Tangier, known far and wide for his mad oral skills, his subservience to anyone in uniform. Mercenaries don’t wear badges, but my dominant side soon has me all over that seductive Spanish servant. A man may as well have a few laughs while on a fatal mission. Because these things never end pleasantly.

  ORMOND: I was flung into a life-or-death battle against the slimy Iceman, leader of a rival MC. Iceman is running all sorts of questionable ops on Bent Zealots land, and now Anson and I have to prove our street creds just to stake a claim in our own backyard.

  I’m a friend of cops, firemen, and soldiers alike, but suddenly I only want one man ordering me around. Anson Dineyazzie, macho half-breed hired gun, has stolen more than just my heart. This was never supposed to happen.

  ANSON: I swear I’m never falling for that service bottom Ormond. I’m accomplishing this op and going back to Afghanistan. But I have to wrest control of this Rez land from Iceman and the lethal hit man who has been trailing us. I’d bury anyone who got between me and Ormond. Does that mean I’m in love? God, I hope not. Don’t think I can take that again. Just need to get back onto the open road and blow the dust from my soul.

  Publisher’s warning: This book is not for the faint of heart. It contains scenes of gay sex, illegal doings, violence, mild BDSM, and forced seduction roleplay. There is no cliffhanger or cheating and there is a HEA.
