“Just a couple hours ago. Where have you been?” I yanked at my sweaty attire, and he pulled me into a hug, my little but big brother.

  He towered over me, I wasn’t short, maybe 5’7”, but he was a mystical fucking creature at 6’5”. Mom always joked that he’d make a great basketball player, until she made him try it. Let’s just say that basketball did not agree with Seb. He looked like a toddler when he tried to dribble the ball across the court, barely making any shots into the basket.

  “What are you doing tonight?” I slid onto the barstool closest to Seb as he flipped the flapjacks, putting them on a plate.

  “Nothing, why?” He cocked an eyebrow at me, reading my expression.

  I smiled widely. “Why don’t you come out with Elise and I?”

  He shook his head, “No, not gonna happen.”

  “Seb, c’mon!” I walked over to him, pulling his shirt “Pleeeeassseeee!” I begged like a child. I hadn’t seen him in almost eight months. I missed him, and we had a lot of time to make up for.

  “You’re no better than a child, whining and all.” He knew me all too well.

  “I’m your elder, and you’re supposed to listen to me,” I laughed, half kidding but mostly serious.

  “Fine. Mason’s?”

  “How’d you know?” I joked, smacking him on the back. “I’m going to get showered. I’ll be ready in an hour.”

  “Yeah right, more like two.”

  I walked back towards my room. “You know me so well!” I shouted back, hearing his familiar laugh in the background.

  Coming Soon – Stripping a Steele

  Stripping a Steele

  (Steele Bros. #2)

  Selena

  The moment I laid my eyes on him I knew he was trouble. Problem is, I’ve always loved a little trouble. When my dad died and my mom abandoned my family I took over all responsibility. I’m the bread-winner, I’m the primary provider for my younger siblings. For a time, I just want to feel irresponsible. I just want to feel. Christian Steele, he makes me feel things I never thought possible and not just between the sheets. He’s stealing my heart too.

  Christian

  There were only three things I cared about: Women, Money and Booze. That is until I laid my eyes on Selena Jacobson, a goddess in the flesh if I’ve ever seen one. I wanted her, something inside me flipped and I knew she was mine. I was a savage, making claim to my woman, whether she wanted it or not. When life threw us both a big curveball I made her mine. Every dark desire inside me coming to life. She was mine. It was an ‘act’, only it wasn’t. Selena Jacobson is mine forever and I’ll be damned if anyone takes her away from me.

  Excerpt:

  I don’t know why I’m so attracted to him, it’s like a magnetic field is forcing us together. He’s everything I shouldn’t want, arrogant, cocky, demanding, self-centered, and worst of all he’s entitled.

  Yet, here I am, standing right in front of him biting on my bottom lip like some horned up teenager.

  Christian walked us into his apartment, his hand staying at the small of my back, ushering me in through the doorway. I shouldn’t be as nervous as I am, it’s not like I haven’t been here before, and he’s seen me naked. I have absolutely no reason to be shy, but he’s pulling at my heart strings. He lifts me up in his arms and I instantly wrap my legs around his waist as his lips brushed against my ear, sending electricity through my veins.

  “I want you to scream for me tonight”

  “I don’t scream for anyone” I tell him, matter-of-factly

  “You will for me”

  Who am I kidding, I love everything about him. I love his bluntness, his arrogance, how cocky he is, I loved that he demands things and doesn’t ask, and yeah he’s self-centered but it works for him.

  Never would I think that in a million years I’d be straddling Christian Steele begging to be fucked, never would I think I’d be with the ‘playboy’ Steele as the tabloids call him. He plays all right, and man is he good at it.

  I can’t help but know this won’t end out well for me, but I just can’t keep myself away. I’m drunk.

  I’m drunk on Christian Steel

  “Selena, are you ready?” His tone was full of primal desire, I nodded, just wondering what I was agreeing to. With him, I’d agree to almost anything.

  Coming Soon - Corrupted Love

  Corrupted Love

  (The Mackenzies #1)

  As the new face of a modeling agency, Greer Matthews traded the congested LA freeway for the jet-setting lifestyle of the rich and elite.

  As she gets closer to the company's stakeholders, she realizes that this lifestyle comes with certain expectations. Ones that take her into a dark shadowy world filled with corruption, greed, and questions about Greer's past.

  Assigned a protector, she realizes she is falling in love as the stakes get higher in a game of cat and mouse.

  Aleks, the smoking hot legal advisor, is a dream come true for Greer, but Aleks holds secrets regarding her birth parents. Could the dangerous nature of Aleks’ true identity mark the end of their relationship before it even begins?

  Coming Soon - Revenge

  Revenge

  (Skulls Renegade #3)

  Every single person at Skulls Renegade MC knows me as Jenna; Jenna Lawrence to be exact.

  They think I’m some club whore because I’ve led them to believe that’s all I am. I’ve done a damn good job at being that girl. Here’s the thing, I’m not who they think I am.

  My real name is Tegan Hill

  I’ve been here at Skulls Renegade’s Gainesville Chapter for nine long years, waiting for my golden opportunity that may never come. Skulls Renegade MC is responsible for my father’s death, or if I’m more specific, his killer Will Michaels is, Reed & Kyle’s father.

  I’ve watched everything that has happened in this club. I’ve seen Reed and Elena get married. I’m watching everyone around me starting to have their own happily-ever-afters. Only, I don’t get one. I won’t ever be able to, until I avenge my father.

  I’ve devoted 9 years, 3168 days, and 76,032 hours to my cause. He’s bound to show up sometime and when he does I’ll finally get justice for what happened to me and my father.

  I’ve expected a lot of things, but what I never expected, was to fall in love with a Skulls Renegade MC member.

  Which will conquer? My love, or my hate?

  Coming Soon – The Trade

  The Trade

  (The Clans #3)

  Anton

  When I was assigned the job to find out who exactly orchestrated the hit on Mariana Petran, I jumped at the opportunity. To attack the queen of the clans is an attack against us all. I was to find the man who ordered it – and I did. I also found myself a feisty redhead; something I considered a cherry on top of the sundae as I headed to her hometown to destroy the man responsible for it all.

  So, there I was, delivering a bloody and violent end to the scum that betrayed us when the door opens, and in walks my feisty redhead; Natasha.

  Natasha

  I came home from a wild night out with the girls and found my uncle bloodied and bruised, with a gun held to the back of his head. The man holding the gun – my boyfriend, Anton.

  I never thought that I would be begging for his life – doing anything that I could to save him. But he’s my family. He’s the only link I have left to my mother.

  Anton didn’t tell me he was in the Romanian Mob – but I never confessed I was the niece of a head clan member, or anything about my father, but we’ll get to that later.

  Anton named his price. I didn’t understand why, what he could possibly find valuable with taking the niece of Clan Constantin – especially when he already had me.

  I accepted the terms, the trade. I’d do anything to save my uncle, even if that meant sacrificing myself. Anton promised me that he wouldn’t kill my uncle, like a dumb girl I assumed that meant my uncle would live.

  Anton may not have pulled the trigger, but make no mistake – he killed m
y uncle.

  The loving man I’d learned to care about over the past few weeks turned into something feral – I didn’t even know the man I was falling in love with.

  I waited for my father, and prayed he would come for me.

  They didn’t even know the girl they were taking.

  They were clueless.

  Coming Soon – Relentless

  Relentless

  (Skulls Renegade MC #4)

  Bellamy

  My life was supposed to be so simple; getting the rest of my inheritance at 25. I would invest it in my music career and become history, literally.

  What I didn’t expect was to find out that everything I believed to be true about my family was a complete lie. I didn’t expect to find out that I had a half-sister by my real father; a man that was the devil reincarnate. I didn’t expect to find that I had family who had run a criminal MC club in Texas. And I sure as heck didn’t expect to be thrown full force into the MC life from the time I walked into Bubba's and revealed who I was.

  I was no longer a daughter, friend, and singer. I was Bellamy Mason, sister-in-law of the Skulls Renegade MC Prez, and I had a target on my back.

  But there was something else that hit me like a ton of bricks too, and his name was Abe “Butch” Warren.

  And let me tell you, he was a pleasant surprise.

  Butch

  She walked through that fuckin’ bar just like her sister did. Her red hair flowing down her back, that ass that I wanna take a bite out of. Those were the thoughts I had about her before I got to know Bellamy.

  I don’t know what it was, but the fuckin’ second my eyes locked on hers she was mine. She was pure, she was innocent – she wasn’t cut for this lifestyle, and I knew that.

  Here’s the thing, I’m not cut out for relationships and Bellamy Mason is not a girl you just fuck. She’s the real deal, the girl you take home to your momma, the one you lock down as soon as you can.

  I was bringing danger to her doorstep, and she had no idea. I knew the risks, and I ignored them. Selfishly, I wanted her.

  What will destroy us first; my enemies, or my need to not define us?

  Coming Soon – Scarred

  Scarred

  (Demons of Hell MC #3)

  I had it all, or at least I did according to everyone else.

  I had the club, I had the most powerful husband, the Prez of the Demons of Hell MC.

  I had a family.

  He’d told me time and time again the club was my “family”.

  My “family” let a lot of things happen to me that shouldn’t of.

  My “family” did a great job of turning a blind eye.

  My “family” was great at letting me be the punching bag for their mistakes. For all of his pent up anger and frustrations.

  My “family” was the reason I almost died.

  When Rage came into my life I saw nothing else.

  His name was a warning and I didn’t listen.
