Kings rule men. Queens rule kings.
Wyatt Strand is a hard man. He has hard features, speaks with harsh words, and has a hardened heart. Having served the Forsaken Motorcycle Club as Vice President, Wyatt is used to taking responsibility for his brothers, but when he’s handed the gavel everything changes. His brothers are now his men and the threat from the Italian mafia still looms in the distance. A president needs focus, but that’s nearly impossible when his old lady blows back into town and drops two very large bombshells on him.
Amber Wallace is a tough woman, but an even fiercer mother. She once told a lie to protect her unborn child that tore her away from the man she loves. And now, years later, she’s coming home to make amends. Wyatt’s changed, but the club hasn’t. Women are to be obedient. Unfortunately for Forsaken, Amber’s not about to let a few rules stop her from living the life she always imagined.
The Forsaken Motorcycle Club started a war with the Italian mafia and they’ve paid dearly for that choice. With a new president at the helm, the wheels are finally in motion to take down Mancuso once and for all. Even if it means taking the fight back to where it began.
Love is never more beautiful than when it consumes you.
“You told our son that we’re
sleeping in the same bed,” I say accusingly.
“We are.” His voice is low, his
breath heating my skin. I breathe him in only to wish I hadn’t. He
smells like burgers and root beer—because that’s what he had with
dinner, a freaking root beer—but underneath all of that is his
spicy scent that can’t be from a soap or shampoo. It’s just
Wyatt. I’ve missed it so much that at times it felt like I was
suffocating without it. Like, if I couldn’t remember how he smells
I’d just waste away to nothing right then and there. It never
happened. God was never that generous, but it felt real enough that
it could be a serious possibility at the time.
Wyatt slides his hand down from my jaw
to my chest, laying his palm flat against my heart. His eyes fall
closed and I swear, I think I’m watching him listen to my
heartbeat. It’s crazy fast now with the way he’s touching me. His
calloused fingers press so gently but determinedly against my bare
skin. The scoop neck I’m wearing used to have a higher neckline
before my kid make it her personal mission to work out by yanking on
my clothes all the time. Now though, I’m grateful for Piper’s
annoying yanking on clothes because I can’t imagine having his hand
over a thin layer of cotton.
“I love you, you stupid woman,”
Wyatt says softly. His eyes are still closed, prompting mine to
shutter closed as well. I breathe him in and keep quiet. I shouldn’t
give in to this, but I’m a selfish creature. I want my man back if
even for a night. Wyatt presses his lips softly against mine. I move
into him, but still he doesn’t remove his hand from my heart. Our
kiss is soft and full of promise and hope and it absolutely slays me.
Hope is the death of all things.
“If you were done with me, with us,
I’d know. Your heart wouldn’t be beating this hard. But it is.
I’m a part of you, even if you don’t want me to be. So yeah, we
sleep in the same bed.”
As a child, JC was fascinated by things that went bump in the night. As they say, some things never change. Now, as an adult, she divides her time between the sexy law men, mythical creatures, and kick-ass heroines that live inside her head and pursuing her bachelor's degree in English. JC is a San Francisco Bay Area native, but has also called both Texas and Louisiana home. These days she rocks her flip flops year round in Northern California and can't imagine a climate more beautiful. JC writes adult, new adult, and young adult fiction. She dabbles in many different genres including science fiction, horror, chick lit, and murder mysteries, yet she is most enthralled by supernatural stories-- and everything has at least a splash of romance.
