three-year-old son, Cullen. When a new neighbor moves in, his boy makes it
impossible to ignore her. Hard to miss, she's beautiful, smart, sexy, perfect.
After her last failed
relationship, kindergarten teacher Alexa "Lex" Millen has decided to
do without men. She's bought her first home in a small town in California and
remodeled it to her liking. Naturally, she's managed to move across the street
from the world's biggest jerk. His son's adorable, but he won't mind his own
business. If only her engines didn't rev every time he came around.

Going was her

why the two of them getting together was a bad idea. Of course, that’d only
work if he didn’t kiss her. So her plan—she had to keep him away.

She clenched her

Her face flushed
with each word. That heat crept down her neck and chest. “I’ve agreed to leave

were you, I’d tread very carefully because quite frankly, I’ve had it with your
insults, your cursing, your caveman tactics. Bottom line…”

A muscle in his

squeezed. “I could control you, babe, you’d be sitting on my face.”

Interview with J.L. Sheppard
Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story? At times, they definitely hijack the story and me. ;)
Convince us why you feel your book is a must read. Riding Hard is a biker/MC, erotic romance, but like my other MC romances part of this series, they are not your typical biker romances. These bikers are, for the most part, law-abiding citizens. Riding Hard also isn’t just about steamy scenes. There’s a story, a beautiful one about love, not just between a couple but the unconditional kind between a parent and child.
Have you written any other books that are not published? Yes. The fifth in the Hell Ryders MC Series is written. I have to read it again and make some changes before I send it off to my editor though. I also have the third of the Fated Immortals Series written and the fourth of the Elemental Sisters Series, Blooded Desire, is written and edited. Before I publish that one, I’m re-releasing the third in the series, Heavenly Desire since it’s out of contract at the moment.
Pen or type writer or computer? Computer.
Anything you would like to say to your readers and fans? To my readers and fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to write. I started writing my first novel without thought about who would read it. I knew that not everyone would like it. I knew that getting bad reviews would not be fun, but learning that some readers do enjoy the stories I’ve spent countless hours dreaming up, writing, editing, and reading is a dream come true, and it’s what keeps me typing away.
