It can hurt like hell to let go, but sometimes holding on hurts even more.

Shotgun

Over the years, I’d taken some pretty hard hits. Hell, some were hard enough to break a man, and they had damn near broken me. My past haunted me, consuming me with rage, guilt, and regret. 

As the Ruthless Sinners’ enforcer, I held those dark feelings close, used them to keep my brothers and the club out of harm’s way. It wasn’t easy, especially when there was always someone itching to take us down. The same held true on the night that the mysterious Remington Taylor was left for dead at our door step. 

One look at her had me questioning everything.

She was in a league of her own, beautiful and smart, and had a strength like no one I’d ever known. This woman was going to ruin me—make me feel things I’d buried a long time ago. I could see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch, but I still let her draw me in.

For the first time in my life, the pain of holding on was greater than the fear of letting go. 

Holding On is book two in the Ruthless Sinners series. This is Shotgun’s story, and while it’s part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. 

This addition to the Ruthless Sinner’s MC will have you rooting for forgiveness, mended hearts, and second chances.

Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one.

Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.

The Boss Upstairs by Roya Carmen

Title: The Boss Upstairs

Series: Orchard Heights

Author: Roya Carmen

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 27, 2020

For fans of The Ground Rules trilogy, Weston is back, and naughtier than ever, in this sweet and steamy boss secretary romance. 

Gretchen Morris is barely thirty, yet she’s already a widow. Ethan, her two-year old boy, is the light of her life. This is it for her. She will never love anyone like she loved her late husband, Donovan. Every hour, he’s in her thoughts, in her heart, not letting go. She’s completely shattered because he’s gone, and every single day, she must live with the knowledge that she’s the one to blame.

She’s nothing but a hollow shell, going through her life on auto pilot, trying to be strong for Ethan, but failing miserably. She’s looking to become self-sufficient again, to head back into the job market and start a new chapter.

Surprisingly, all it takes is one jolt to bring her back to life; an opportunity to work with the reclusive wealthy man in the penthouse upstairs.

Weston Hanson is odd, beautiful, sweet, playful, and unlike anyone she’s ever met before. And he’s as broken as she is. He’s lived a man’s worst nightmare, gone through a divorce, and let go of a woman he loved dearly. He’s still obsessed with this woman and cannot move past the regrets in his life. 

Can two people fall in love if their souls are full of broken memories, and their hearts are still held captive by others?

“Amazing,” I say, jaw still on the floor. “I’d love this closet.”

He smiles. “I’m sure it would be more colorful if it were yours.”

“It definitely would be. I love color.”

I stand in front of his impressive collection of ties, each one more fabulous than the previous one. They are folded neatly into a series of small square cubbies, every pattern in the book; plaid, paisley, stripes, solids, flowers and even polka-dots. “This spot is quite colorful.”

I can feel him as he inches closer behind me. My body stands to attention, in anticipation of his touch. I desperately want him to reach out. I know he wants to. I can feel it in every cell of my body. 

We both stand for the longest time, drinking in the delicious moment. Neither one of us dares to move. Finally, he places a hand softly on my arm, leans into me, and presses his face very lightly against the back of my head, just under my high up-do. He’s being a gentleman, not crossing the line. “Your hair smells amazing.”

I close my eyes, wanting more. Every woman has a sweet spot, and mine is the back of my neck. Donovan knew this and he always kissed me there. I haven’t been touched there in over two years. All I can think about is Weston’s soft lips on my skin. “Kiss my neck,” I whisper, the words shocking me and sending my heart into overdrive. 

Weston doesn’t utter a single word. Doesn’t move. I desperately want to take the words back. Three little words. What was I thinking? Did I cross the line? Did I mess everything up? 

Roya Carmen is a busy mom, romance writer, designer, bookworm, chocoholic, and hopeless romantic. There’s nothing she enjoys more than making up stories about love, and sharing them with her readers.

Dixie

I never wanted to leave the farm, but Papa insisted and I’ve always been a daddy’s girl. After being away for four years at a big city college, this was not the homecoming I expected. 

Papa’s health is worse than I realized and the farm is falling a part. My best friend Charlie is more hands on than ever before, and there’s an infuriatingly handsome new farmhand in my horse barn that’s caught my attention.

Bauer

Finding out I have a teenage son a little over a year ago was a shock, but I’m desperate to be a part of his life and prove I’m more than an irresponsible bachelor. Thankfully, Gould Farms has been my saving grace, giving me a steady job and providing a place to live. I’ve focused all my energy on this job; that is, until my bosses daughter returns home.

She’s not at all what I expected, but she’s definitely what I want. She might even be just what I need to give my son the life he deserves. 

When Dixie’s confusion turns to heartbreak and Bauer’s future teeters on the edge, can they both find what they’re looking for in the heart of dixie?

The stare coming from Bauer right now could fry an egg on the sidewalk, it’s so heated. He is looking at me like I’m his next big meal and he can’t wait to dig in. I’m fairly certain my panties are drenched in anticipation.

“You look like trouble Dixie, and not that I wouldn’t mind finding out what it would feel like with all that hay underneath us, I have a feeling I’m not quite your type, sugar.” He drags his gaze down and back up my body again, worrying his bottom lip with his teeth and giving me entirely too much to think about. Like, how I would like to be the one sucking on that lip of his... or how I might not mind a roll in the hay either.

“You have no idea what my type is, cowboy,” I tell him, strutting right out of that barn before we burn it down.

m.m. clem lives in a small town, in the heart of Indiana, with her husband, three kids, and her big black dog, Leela. Besides writing, she enjoys reading, photography, sleeping, and watching her daughter dance. When she’s not busy writing or reading, you can find her chauffeuring her kids to

band practices and competitions, club meetings, dance practice and dance competitions, or fiddling around on social media. She loves her Netflix, country music, anything sweet to eat, and iced tea. Sarcasm is her second language.
