FROM THE DARKNESS: A MOTORCYCLE CLUB ROMANCE

By JA Lafrance

Bleeding Miners MC Book 1

From The Darkness is a MC Club reverse harem that will take you places you very much want to go and someplace nothing can prepare you for.

Amelia:

After finally achieving her dream job and working proficiently on a team in a predominantly male dominated industry. Amelia was able to settle down. She settled enough to let her guard down. Not only was she taken by surprise by two gigantic men, but she was also forced to do something that no one should be forced to do, something so horrific it leaves her shattered and fighting demons that she never used to have. Ones that no person should have to fight alone.

Drills:

Drills was living his perfect life, all the female attention he could imagine, a job that paid extremely well and his brothers from the Bleeding Miners MC. Being their president brought him a great sense of pride.

Who knew he would get knocked down by a feisty female in bunker gear?

Eagle:

Eagle and Drills love to share, but Eagle never thought that they could find a permanent woman to take both him and Drills on as partners. She took his heart like a raging fire taking a house, and Eagle gladly let her burn him in her wake.

Does this triangle come together, or are there stronger forces at play?

This book contains situations that may trigger the reader. Violent acts against female are involved. This book is to show the strength of a woman in her fight to overcome her demons.

Reader discretion is advised.

Noah

Life was never the same again the day I saw a golden vision out jogging

Beautiful. Sexy. Hang on a minute….THAT’S skin!

She’s naked? We don’t do naked in my country town.

Naked jogging… Is that a thing?

I should have guessed she would be trouble

Tempting and teasing me. Until the bungee rope incident

We don’t talk about that. So don’t ask. Please.

This golden temptress brings me to my knees

That’s why I call it……The Willow Effect

Willow

WOAH! Now THAT’S a mountain man

That’s what I thought when I first saw Noah.

A huge beast of a man

Sexy as hell, even under all that hair

He’s not a fan of bungee jumping. It’s a private joke.

Did I mention he screams like a girl?

He’s seriously uptight. He needs to live a little.

Life was too short. I knew that better than anyone

Time to show this shy, awkward giant how to live a little.

As war rages in Europe and Asia, Jude Mooney’s progeny battle to survive. From Europe to Asia to the Home Front, the Mooney clan faces the terrors and danger in the jungles of Asia or the city streets of Europe. In New Orleans, war offers its own challenges.

Daniel—the son who married his brother’s wife to protect her. Daniel thought he would surrender the beautiful Esther to his brother Paul if they survived the war, but his feelings for her now smolder, surpassing the friendship he’d initially proposed. Nonetheless, he and his brother must resolve the tension between them as they embark on a dangerous mission.

Paul—the son who escaped from the hell of Colditz prison only to find that his brother had married the woman he loved. He is caught between the abiding love for his brother and the love for the woman he desires. The war will change him forever and lead him onto an unforeseen path.

Esther—the beautiful Jewish operative skilled in espionage is adapting to her life as a wife and mother, but she sees a world of hate and vengeance enveloping her. When war ends, she will be faced with a monumental choice.

Julia—Jude’s niece, trapped in San Tomas. She wrestles with a sin for which she can’t forgive herself as she treats Allied prisoners of war. Scarred by war, she sacrifices for her captured friends.

Jade—Jude’s step-daughter and friend of Julia. Like Julia, she cares for prisoners in San Tomas, but her love for a handsome British officer could lead to disaster.

Wally—Jude’s nephew, reckless and daring. He fights his way through the jungles of the Philippines to rescue his sister and to save the beautiful Filipino woman he loves.

Peppy—Wally’s honest and honorable brother who suffers but endures in the hell of a burning Europe.

On the home front, Jude and his wife, Marjorie, wrestle with the challenges war brings to the United States and with the changes taking place within the beautiful and passionate Aoife, Jude’s daughter. How will the Mooney family survive the war and adapt to a post-war New Orleans?

The Franklin Beach Police Department has regretted the F.B.P.D. acronym ever since a picture of the Lucas brothers in uniform went viral. Now, around town, they're more commonly known as The F*ck Boy Police.

Jamie Lucas didn't have a care in the world and was riding high on his looks and local fame. Every woman wanted to be with him, and every man wished to be him. He never had to look very far for a warm body to soothe his demons. But life isn't always what it seems. There is no depth or future with someone who only wants to be with you because of who they think you are. But if that was his lot, then he was going to ride his fifteen minutes of fame for everything he could, that is, until a sassy redhead caught his eye.

Laurel Montague left Franklin Beach as soon as she could to attend one of the top culinary schools in the country. After graduation, she made a name for herself, working as a pastry chef for every big name in Las Vegas. But heartbreak brought her back home, and now she's focused on her dream, Sweet Treats Bakery.

She wasn't looking for a good time, and he wasn't looking for love. But you know what they say about opposites attract.

Will Jamie get his happily ever after, or will demons from his past ruin his one chance at true happiness?

You don’t get to be president of a motorcycle club like Ronan ‘Smoke’ Hale is without being able to sniff out trouble.

Tenley Quinn- a sassy, tenacious newspaper reporter has trouble oozing out of her pores.

Smoke successfully evades Tenley’s repeated requests for an exclusive interview, which might reduce his MC club’s edge and expose their trade secrets … that is until she divulges that she has a line to the club’s number one enemy. The temptation to manipulate the situation is too good to resist.

However, Smoke’s protective instincts towards her kick in when the blonde bombshell becomes tangled in a web of deception with dark enemy, Paddy Dunne, king of the Death Valley Irish.

Romance or caring for Tenley wasn’t on Smoke’s list of priorities due to his past painful loss. At least, not until Paddy recognizes she’s the key to seeking revenge on the Young Outlaws.

This book is a MC romantic suspense, love story containing dark elements.

SMOKE is the second book of the trilogy spin off from the YOMC Florida series.

Gigi isn't thinking of finding a pack. She is a beta and betas don't care about harems and piling up on a bed like puppies, like omegas and alphas are fond of doing. And yet...

Georgiana Verity Miller - Gigi for her friends – is a beta and happy with her designation.

No, she has no dreams of waking up one day as an omega with a harem of alphas about to, well, you know… do what it takes to help increase the global population.

Alphas? Harems? Babies? Not her thing.

In fact, she knows exactly what she needs and has a masterplan to get it:

A nice beta man, preferably in accounting or sales, and maybe a nice nuclear family in the future.

It's what her mother expects of her. What society dictates a beta should want. What Gigi herself is convinced she desires.

Then why is she suddenly attracting all the hunks of Hunkville to her doorstep?

And not only. It's happening at the gym, too, with all those hunky gym rats.

A beta girl isn't supposed to lust after two, or three, or wait, make that four hunks.

And most of them not even betas.

No way. That's not happening. She's not out to get a harem. She only needs one man and that's final.

Too bad her body didn't get the memo, and all those sweet men flirting with her seem determined to change her mind, too.

* This is a sweet omegaverse standalone novel with low angst, four gorgeous guys and a funny beta girl who find happiness together, accepting themselves and finding trust and love in each other. This story contains M/M, knotting, heats and ruts. Please note that this is not a shifter story, but it is set in a world where apart from gender, we have a designation as alpha, beta, omega, or more. Omegas are more submissive and are generally paired with dominant alphas. This is an oversimplification of course, I hope that in the course of the story it all becomes clear.*

He was a hustler. A scoundrel. An opportunist. His lack of manners was shocking, his vocabulary the stuff of nightmares. No sense of propriety stood in the way of his inflated ego and no notion of civility prevented him from opening his mouth. His arrogance was off the charts, and with the face he had, it was no wonder.

But he needed a lesson in civility, and he was about to get one.

She was a spinster from hell. Uptight. High-and-mighty. Not too pretty, but with that body, she didn’t need a pretty face. But that insolence of hers—it wouldn’t let me sleep at night. It made me think of ways of shutting her up. She may have been an accomplished, independent woman with a brain, wit, and grace.

But she needed a real man, and she was about to get one.

A Gentleman Caveman is a super steamy enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a dirty-talking alphahole used to getting his way. This novel contains graphic language, explicit sexuality, and a dash of taboo. For mature readers only 18+.

Rhett Bailey’s not quite the exact opposite of his older brother, Taj, but he’s not too much like him, either. Tall and wiry, his solid build takes the ladies by surprise. His hair’s not as dark, his eyes are the color of bourbon rather than coffee, and he’s a caretaker by nature.

As a post-anesthesia care nurse in Louisville, Kentucky, Rhett spends a lot of time on the road. And that time on the road gives him plenty of time to think—at times a blessing and others a curse. He’s lost at love a few times, but he’s never fallen hard enough to consider himself scarred or ready to give up. And unlike his big brother, Rhett’s looking for love—the whole package: dinner and dancing, wining and dining, and finding a love to last a lifetime.

Bristol Miller took a job at Lockland Distilling on a whim. Some might accuse her of running away from her problems, but Bristol prefers to think she’s running toward her future—an all new version of herself, free of the bad boy ex who could sweet talk a kiss from a Catholic nun.

Now the manager of the Skeleton Bar at Lockland Distilling and feeling right at home with the Lockland family, Bristol’s not looking for love. She hopes to find herself married with children someday, but dating and falling for someone is a hassle for another day. Right now, she’s content to run the bar, grow closer to the Locklands while keeping the distance between herself and that bad boy ex, and meet the interesting patrons she serves at the Skeleton.

Including Rhett Bailey—a fun-loving, good-looking, all around good guy she immediately dumps in the friend zone.

Will Kissing Springs magic make Bristol see her soulmate when she looks into Rhett’s eyes or will she fight fate and push him into someone else’s arms?
