~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wind Dragons and Cursed Ravens MC series comes sinners, saints and secrets…

 

*Dear Skylar,

 

Five years. That’s a long time to go without talking to somebody, especially someone who was such a huge part of your life…*

 

A letter from my first kiss and my childhood everything…from prison.

 

He may be nicknamed Saint, but this sweet, sexy biker most definitely has a wild streak. Hearing from him draws me right back into the Knights of Fury motorcycle club—the people I’ll always think of as family.

 

He’s still the only man I’ve ever wanted.

 

Each good, old-fashioned letter from my “prison pen pal” has my heart racing. Which is nothing compared to how I feel when Saint surprises me in person, as a free man.

 

I was just a kid the last time we saw each other, but the connection between us now is anything but innocent.

 

He’s the type of man who would do anything to protect his woman. And with my world crashing down around me, that’s exactly what I’m going to need.

 

This book is approximately 67,000 words

 

Please note: This book is part of the Knights of Fury MC series but can be read as a stand-alone.

EXCERPT

Age 10

 

“What’s wrong, Sky?” my dad asks as I step into the clubhouse with a sad face, my pink backpack dragging behind me. My body language screams defeat, and even I know it. “Bad day at school?”

I nod at my father. Technically, he’s my stepfather, but considering I never knew my biological father, Hammer’s the only father I’ve ever known. He started dating my mom when I was just a baby. My mother has never told me about who my real dad is, and I’ve always wanted to know. Especially since she’s so secretive about it. I don’t care too much, though. I have Hammer.

“I guess you could say that.”

I’ve been finding it hard to make friends. No one wants to play with me because they know my stepdad is in a motorcycle gang. I’m not sure why they all hate bikers. I know and love every person in this clubhouse, and they are always nice to me. I don’t live in the clubhouse, but we come here pretty much every day after school. Hammer plays basketball with me and my siblings, and is always there for me no matter what. Does it matter that he chooses to ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car, or a van, like most of the other parents? Not to me, but apparently it does to them.

“Tell me what happened,” he murmurs in a calm tone, but I know Dad gets mad at anyone who upsets me. I’m the youngest of six, and everyone loves to baby me. I’m also the only girl. Yeah, I feel sorry for myself too.

I sit next to him on the weathered brown leather couch. Before I can say anything, my mother speaks for me. “She got into a fight and is now suspended from school.” She looks at me in frustration. “I told you that you need to stay out of trouble, Sky.”

I grit my teeth in anger. Anger that she doesn’t understand what it is like for me. Anger that she’s talking for me. Mom lectured me on the whole drive back here, and now she’s going to get Dad on her side before I can even get a word in. “But—”

“Fighting isn’t the answer,” she continues, shaking her head in disappointment. “I know you’ve been raised with boys, but you’re a lady, and ladies don’t fight.”

“Didn’t you slap that woman at the cookout last month, Georgia?” Dad asks with a smirk, brown eyes alive with mischief. He runs his fingers down his dark beard and nods. “Pretty sure you did. In front of the whole club.”

“I saw that,” I add, lifting my chin.

My mother scowls, sending a death stare in my direction. “What have I told you? Do as I say, not as I do.”

“Becky deserved it, Mom,” I say, trying to explain, and wanting my dad to understand. “She said her daddy is dead and it’s our fault. He was a policeman. How would that be our fault? So I called her a liar and hit her. She shouldn’t be talking bad about my family.”

Dad and Mom share a look, one I can’t figure out.

My mom has always told me “Do as I say, not as I do,” but I can’t help it if I’m the way that I am. I want to protect myself and my family.
