Life
dealt him a dead man’s hand.
Lucky
had always led a life of service, always putting his life on the line
for someone else, managing to survive by pure luck and skill. After
bringing an end to a multi-state drug ring, he was finally able to
live the life he had wanted as a Last Rider.
A good
man would walk away and not touch the curvy woman who had been
tugging on his heartstrings. Lucky wasn’t a good man. Therefore,
the bad-ass biker in him had a choice: once again become the man he
had pretended to be and stake his claim or take the devil’s
highway.
Some
girls had all the luck.
Willa
wasn’t one of them. All she wanted to do was give a home to the
children she had made orphans. Instead, she found herself needing
help from the man who had left the pulpit behind to embrace a life of
sin.
Painfully
shy and withdrawn, she wanted a quiet life, a simple man, and
well-behaved children. The last thing she had ever expected was for
Lucky to want her size twenty body and show her a passion that would
lead her straight to hell.
Excerpt
“Did you see who
did this?” Lucky heard the accusation in his own voice, but it was
too late to regain his temper as Willa paled. He was having a shit
time with women so far today.
Willa walked toward
him, the five children following behind her.
“Is something
wrong …?” Her words trailed off as her eyes caught sight of his
bike.
“We just came
outside. Chrissy and Caroline saw a stray cat when they were playing
outside earlier. They wanted to feed it…”
Lucky’s eyes went
to the tabby cat at the side of Willa’s house that was contentedly
eating tuna from a can. Then he studied the children. “Are you sure
you didn’t hear or see anything?”
“Jenna’s house
is closer to your bike. It would be easily seen from her living room
window. If you didn’t see anything, why would we?” Willa said.
Lucky’s face
turned red in embarrassment and anger at her logic. “Because I’m
not the one who’s constantly looking out the window.”
Once again, Willa
was the one turning bright red. “I’ll go get something to clean
the paint off.”
She hurried inside
her house, leaving him alone with five kids staring at him with
varying expressions—from the overtly hostile glares of the two
older girls to the three younger ones scowling at him.
“We didn’t see
who touched your bike,” Leanne stated, staring him directly in the
eyes.
Lucky knew the
children fairly well from when he had been undercover as pastor.
Leanne and Sissy were sisters; their mother Georgia had been a member
of his congregation who had recently been killed when she was
incarcerated for setting a fire in The Last Rider’s clubhouse.
Shade and his wife Lily could have easily died if not for the
precautions that Viper, the club president, had taken.
“I just asked if
anyone had seen anything, Leanne. Maybe one of you put the other up
to doing it?”
A firestorm was
unleashed at his words.
“We don’t put
each other up to doing stuff that will get us in trouble!” Sissy
snapped. The oldest girl, at seventeen, had been hit the hardest by
her mother’s death.
Lucky guiltily
admitted to himself that he was wrong. This wasn’t a prank a kid
would play.
“What does the
word mean?” Charlie, the eight-year-old, questioned as he held his
younger sister Caroline’s hand while his other sister, Chrissy,
stared at him, sucking her thumb.
The three younger
children Willa was fostering were Lewis’s, Georgia’s brother, who
had also been raising his nieces after her death. Lewis had been
determined to marry Willa to help care for his large family. The sick
bastard had gotten his wish; he just wasn’t around to benefit from
it. Willa had shot and killed him when he had come to her house in a
rage and attacked not only her but also Rachel, who had tried to help
her.
“It means that
Pastor Dean isn’t acting like a pastor anymore.” Sissy smirked at
him.
Lucky knew her age
and recent difficulties were responsible for her attitude, but it
didn’t keep him from snarling back at her. “You have a problem
with me, Sissy?”
“I have a problem
with you treating Willa the way you just did.”
“Willa needs to
learn to take up for herself. She doesn’t need another person
taking up for her. Certainly not a seventeen-year-old.”
Caroline’s foot
kicked out, striking him in the leg.
“Stop it!” Lucky
had long since lost control of the embarrassing situation.

Info
"I
was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but
worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the
best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children
the value of hard work, and education.
Taking
after my mother, I've always love to cook, and became pretty good if
I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family
has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of
those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up
with my zany decorations.
For
now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two
children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does
my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks
him about my books.
Currently
I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room,
Predators MC, Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls.
All my
books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them,
and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”
