Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to all and I hope it is a safe and prosperous one for you all.

Exciting news for our family-my baby sister, 15 years younger than me became a Granny when her daughter, Danielle, gave birth to a gorgeous daughter, Evelyn 'Evie' Jane Frost. She was born 11 January at 8.54pm after the longest 3 days labour known to man haha, and she is 20.7ins in length and 6lbs 9oz. I am so proud of my niece and her husband Daniel who stuck it out and was there for her all the way.

This is an exclusive pic from the delivery room minutes after she arrived earth side...

I adore the name and it is purely coincidence that I have a book coming out in March called a Journey for Evelyn. Sign maybe? When our niece told us the name a few months back, and I showed her my book, she could hardly believe it! The book is complete, ready for release in March, and on pre-order at: https://books2read.com/ajourneyforevelyn

Her best friend, Bonnie, will also have her own story for release in May and is on pre-order at:

Waylon ‘Lonnie’ Cadogan had been a fisherman for years, and he was ready to move on and make changes in his life.

Author Note:

This story was once part of the Beautiful Minds Mental Health and Domestic Abuse Anthology.

This story is confronting. It describes scenes of abuse, self harm and violence. I am making it quite clear that this will be a trigger for some. If you think it will trigger you, please don't read it. I would also like to point out that I am a survivor of abuse and that this story contains a lot of content that I personally lived through.

“No daddy, please stop.” I’d beg him.

He never stopped hurting me.

I upset mummy. Bad girls must be punished.

I tried so hard, but I was never good enough.

Eventually I learned ways to cope.

Age 11 – Don’t cry or scream.

Because my fear was his high.

Age 14 – the violence stopped.

He took my innocence instead,

And told me it was okay.

Our little secret. Mum didn’t need to know.

She found out, and life got worse.

When I was old enough, I ran away.

I kept my past from everyone.

Until HE came to my rescue.

Older, sophisticated, damaged too.

I fought him at every turn.

Until the unthinkable happened,

And I needed him to save me.

Micah

The heart of a rebel with the soul of a devil. I’ve always known that the Rebel Souls MC wasn’t my destiny. As much as I loved being Jake’s VP, it wasn’t in the cards for me. My soul was restless and Jake wasn’t willing to take the risks needed to satisfy my hunger. So when he handed me my freedom, I created the Devil’s Inferno.

We thrived on the fear of others and nothing stopped us from getting what we wanted.

The problem with having this much power is the addiction. Every addiction needs to be fed and after the last few years we’ve had, I want out. Passing the reins to my son was always the plan, but the path he wants to take has given me second thoughts.

What he fails to understand is that addiction and greed come with a higher price. You either pay in blood or you pay with your life.

My sins have fed his demons and he has the potential to become a true leader. But am I willing to sacrifice my legacy and watch everything I’ve built get destroyed?

I’ll be damned if I let them win. They don’t get to define me or determine my future. Nothing makes you fight harder than having the love and devotion of a Lamont man. Antonio will stop at nothing to protect his own–blood or not.

Second chances don’t come around often in our world.

But at least, they agree on one thing: No touches. No kisses. No intimacy.

Behind closed doors, there’s no need to pretend their marriage is real.

But every day, his wife surprises him. Cameron yearns to uncover the woman she hides behind the mask.

Every night, her husband unravels her and Violet begins to crave more of her husband.

What started as an agreement, is turning into something none of them saw coming.
