Some risks are more dangerous than others... Judd "Judge" Scott lives a simple life running a successful business with his cousin, Deacon. As a bail bondsman and bounty hunter, he's good at what he does. He never expected Trip to come home and resurrect the Blood Fury MC, reopening old wounds. Being asked by the new prez to fill his late father's boots as the Sergeant at Arms should be a hard no for Judge. Not only are they some pretty big boots to fill, but he also has too much to lose if things go sideways. Besides it risking his bail bonds business, he's worried history will repeat itself and Judge wants to avoid ending up in prison, or dead, exactly like his father did. Even so, he reluctantly takes the spot as the club's enforcer and wears his old man's colors on his back. Despite having no interest in a woman complicating his life, he's intrigued by the young mother who shows up in town with her little girl. However, once Judge learns why she's come to Manning Grove, he finds he has no choice but to get involved. And that could create more complications than they're worth. Note: Blood & Bones: Judge is the third book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It's recommended to read this series in order.

When a simple assignment becomes a whole lot more... For Hunter, what should be an easy job of finding another veteran's long-lost brother has turned up nothing but dead ends. Even worse, it uncovered problems his team thought had long since been buried. Down to his last lead, he tracks down a woman who has his protective instincts kicking in for reasons he can't fully understand. While her expressive dark eyes and generous curves catch his attention, it's her fiery temper that holds it. Back in her hometown, hiding from a man who almost destroyed her life, Frankie's thrown off guard when a bossy bearded stranger shows up looking for information on the biker she'd rather forget. And he's not taking no for an answer. With more to protect than herself now, she knows firsthand what can happen when you place your trust in the wrong person, but something about the former Green Beret has her not only letting him into her home but also her heart. Hunter's determined to complete his mission and keep Frankie safe-no matter the cost. Though he didn't expect that cost to also involve his heart. Note: Hunter is the third book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it's recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

You must fall before you can rise... Former Delta Force Operator. Scarred inside and out. In the military, Mercy had seen and done things most people could never imagine. Now working for In the Shadows Security, dangerous jobs are his specialty, the more difficult the better... until his boss assigns him to protect a spoiled, rich woman who never shuts the h*ll up. He has two ways to stop her running mouth, but either could get him fired. However, first impressions can be deceiving, and underestimating this woman is a mistake Mercy never intended to make. One that might not only threaten his job but the carefully built barriers he's surrounded himself with. Witness to a horrific crime, Parris must leave Vegas immediately. After her best friend hires a professional to get her out of Nevada and keep her safe, she discovers there's more to this emotionally crippled "bodyguard" than meets the eye. As a therapist, Mercy's a challenge Parris can't ignore, even when his walls seem too high to breach. In the end, will Mercy not only be able to keep her safe but allow her to save him? Or will he let the woman who's become his addiction simply walk away? Note: Mercy is the first book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it's recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating.

When the wrong man turns out to be the right one... Nash, a longtime Dirty Angels MC member and lead singer of Dirty Deeds, has a secret. For years, he's hidden his bisexuality from his brothers, fellow bikers, worried how they'd take the news. But Nash isn't the only one keeping secrets from his brotherhood. So is Cross, a police officer and member of the Blue Avengers MC. As opposite as they come, when Cross spots Nash across the bar, he can't resist the unexpected attraction. Then lines are crossed, boundaries blurred. And they need to survive in two different worlds where men who like other men aren't usually accepted, and where bikers and cops don't mix. Reality and fantasy are two different things. The fantasy being Cross and Nash can be together, that they can make it work. The reality being their situation is impossible. Cross will never give up being a cop. Nash will never give up being a biker. What either of them would have to walk away from is more than anyone should ask for. In the end, fighting reality could be a losing battle in a war they might never win. Note: A standalone, Crossing the Line is a crossover gay romance involving a member of the Dirty Angels MC and one from the Blue Avengers MC. It includes forbidden love, enemies to lovers, cop vs biker, alpha vs alpha. As with all my books, it has no cliffhanger and an HEA.

Out of the dark comes a knight she least expects. He's the Sergeant at Arms for the Dark Knights MC. He enforces the rules and gets his hands dirty. She's the daughter of a biker. Property of another MC. She's young. He's not. He's lived a life. She's just finding her way. She's a bad idea. A very bad idea. One which can quickly turn allies into rivals. One war is over, he's not ready to begin another. But the temptation might make it unavoidable. Note: While this interracial/age gap story can be read as a standalone, it's best to read it after the Down & Dirty: Dirty Angels MC books to know the background of both the H and h. As with all my books, it doesn't have a cliffhanger and has an HEA.

Sometimes a challenge comes along that can either make or break you... Deacon has a great life. A loyal brotherhood within the Blood Fury MC. A successful bail bonds business he runs with his cousin, Judge. A faithful dog. He's also an expert at seducing the ladies. He's got the looks. He's got the charm. And he's got the skill. Or at least he thought he did. Until he met his match. A woman who not only resists him, but challenges him at every turn. As an expert bounty hunter, he's been hired to capture a violent fugitive. Dealing with a dangerous man is one thing, but dealing with a stubborn woman is quite another. And the victim just happens to be her younger sister. For Deacon, winning over a woman has never been this difficult. The more she fights his "charm," the more determined he is not to give up. This is one war he can't afford to lose, not only for her, but with locating the fugitive before he finds his victim. It's a challenge he's willing to take on, as long as it doesn't destroy him first. Note: Blood & Bones: Deacon is the fourth book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It's recommended to read this series in order.

But now he's not only back, he's sitting at the table as VP next to Trip, his half-brother who has resurrected the MC from the ashes. Still bitter about what went down twenty years ago, he's now trying to move past it and stay out of jail for good. Until he finds a beaten and abused woman running through the woods, trying to escape her captors. Now all he can think about is revenge on the Shirley Clan, a group of sovereign citizens who follow no laws but their own. And if he isn't careful, he might end up right back where he vowed to never go again. Behind bars. Note: Blood & Bones: Sig is the second book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It's recommended to read this series in order.
