Events happen in life that can awaken our truest and deepest desires. They also show us our greatest fears. Sometimes we are forced to face those fears, other times we build walls that can't be broken to protect ourselves.
A profound connection these two once shared. A strong friendship once formed was shattered. Fate has stepped in and shaken both their worlds.
The danger, the wild, the chaos, and the lifestyle of the Hellions world has become far too much for Savannah 'Sass' Perchton. Swearing off bikers and attempting a 'normal' life, she has settled. She's committed to Nick, her country club, pretty boy. She's found a way to be content.
Things aren't always what they seem. Wrap an empty box in pretty paper and a bow, it may look amazing, but it's still a hollow shell.
He's a Hellions playboy. A different chick in his bed, off on a different ride, and always something new. He's Frank the 'Tank' Oleander, Haywood's Hellions Road Chief. Throttle down and life is good.
The fast pace of the Hellions life catches up to him. At a crossroads, he's forced to face some life changing thoughts or succumb to the darkness of death. Teetering on the brink of giving in, her voice is all he's holding onto. The coma he can't pull himself out of, but her voice is the light in the darkness. He wants the girl who pulled him through when his life was literally in the balance.
She's sworn off bikers. Can he pull through? Can she ever see past the lifestyle to the heart of the man behind the cut? Will they find their Forever Ride?
Raves for the novels by
Chelsea Camaron
One Ride
“A romantic suspense that plays heavily on the side of romance in the world of bikers and the women who try and tame them. Milder than the average MC story, it still engages with personable characters, an interesting world, and promises to more to come.”
- Smexy Books
“One Ride was a great start to what promises to be a very entertaining new biker series. The writing is solid and Chelsea Camaron does a stellar job setting up this biker world and all the secondary characters/ stories.”
- Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews
“One Ride is a book that I knew, just from the hot cover, was going to be HOT! STEAMY HOT! The best part of this book is the chemistry. From beginning to the end I could not put it down. Book two had better arrive quickly, I cannot wait to read more about the Hellion Club.”
- A Novel Review
Crash and Burn
“Loved it. Could not stop reading till it was done. Awesome. What more can I say. The story moved along at a great pace. You cannot help but fall in love with the characters and the story is great. Fits in perfectly in the series. Chelsea is an amazing author and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future”
- Book 2 Book Blog
Honest to God, this story ripped my heart out. It is very short but it gives you the back story of Dina & Ryder. It is told through Dina's POV and it is completely heartbreaking.
This story is hard to read, and with it being a novella it is a powerful punch. But it shows us that there is a way out, there is always hope.
- Breezy Beauty and Books
Beyond Repair
I loved this series. The first book was just the beginning. The second Salvaged was so emotionally charged. I felt it for weeks after I was done. Full Throttle was a little edgy and more drama than the others. Now I get Beyond Repair and this was the steamiest work that Chelsea Camaron has produced. What happens between these two people is deep. This is her most erotic work ever. I will swoon over Harry for many months to come. Scream a four letter word with me! I was blown away by this one!

My “Sassy” friend, this one is for you. Thank you for supporting me, believing in me, and pushing me to step outside of my comfort zone and take a ride of my own.

Prologue
“Oleander, you didn’t possibly think bringing your boy here would save your sorry ass, did ya?” the tall, overpowering man asks my dad with a smirk of pure evil.
“Jones, give me a minute. I wasn’t expecting you. Lewis said we were meeting tonight,” my dad says with a look of fear crossing his features.
At the man’s slight nod, my dad turns to face me. When I look in his eyes, the worry, stress, and tears are all present as he’s trying to push them back.
“Franky, my boy. I need you to go on over to the bagel shop. Get breakfast for your mom and sisters and then head home. I’ve made some mistakes, son, but none of those are your fault. You’re gonna be the man now. Take care of home. Go on. And no matter what you hear, don’t come back. You’ve seen nothing here today!” He orders firmly before turning me around and sending me on my way.
I barely make it a block away when the sound of repeating pops fills the air. Crack. Crack. Crack. No one has to tell me what has happened, and I know better than to turn around or question anything. My dad runs with bad people. Mom has always told him it was only a matter of time before it caught up to all of us.
Whether they will come after me or not, I don’t know. However, I have to get home to my mom and sisters, step up and take care of what my dad has never taken care of. At eleven-years-old, the innocence of childhood has never existed for me, but a man is what I’ve become on this unexpected, cold winter day.
Going home, I make a decision not to tell my mom what I’ve seen today, though the cops arriving later does not surprise me. They inform her that a passer-by found my dad’s body in an alley. They tell her there will be an investigation and ask if she has any information that may give them a lead. She doesn’t know anything, so I know the case will go cold quickly, or I hope it does.
When they leave, Mom takes the news as a turning point, deciding it’s time to get out of the place we are in.
*****
Life sometimes hands you opportunities in the craziest of moments. It has been five years, and Mom has moved us from the inner city of Detroit to be with her family here in coastal North Carolina. She claims having the help to keep an eye on my sisters and me is the reason why. However, I think the weight of my dad’s associations in Detroit were inescapable, so she retreated.
She has found herself a decent enough waitressing job at The Shell Shack, though. It’s
a small diner, specializing in local seafood. I bus tables there on the weekends. We manage to make ends meet, but it’s only barely, so I’ve been known to steal here and there to bring in a few extra dollars. It’s still better than the danger and the pace of life in Michigan.
I have made some connections here. Not ones I am proud of, but someone has got to step up. If I can ease the burden for my mom, I will, and by any means necessary. I know what I am about to do is taking things to a different level than anything I have done before, however hard times call for extreme measures.
The hot rod is one of those dilapidated tobacco buildings, which sits in an open field, housing the beautiful machine. She is a fully restored, black, 1967 Chevy Nova SS, and the dust settling over the car screams to me that no one is going to miss this piece of American muscle right away. I can have her gone and to Charlie’s chop shop in Virginia before anyone will notice, I reassure myself. Besides, mom could use the money, Laney needs new shoes, and Bonnie is getting boobs now, which means an entire new wardrobe.
The thoughts of what the extra money could do for my sisters’ pushes me forward. Sure, I’ve stolen stuff as we’ve needed it—I’ve been boosting rims and parts from a few tire shops and garages around here for the last year—but this will be my biggest haul. My buddy, Jason, will meet me and drive the car over to Charlie’s. Once there, he gets paid and we split the money.
