HAWK -- I lost everything years ago. My brother. My family. Everything that ever meant anything to me.
Now the Lords of Carnage are my life. Anything I need, the club provides. Anything else is unimportant.
At least, that’s what I tell myself until I meet Samantha Jennings. She stirs something inside me I haven’t felt for years. Back when I had hope. Back when I thought life would give you what you asked for if you wanted it bad enough.
Wanting is dangerous. I’ve learned that lesson. But when I look in those deep brown eyes, I want Samantha. I want to possess every inch of her body -- to hear her call my name when she loses herself in pleasure.
If I was smart, I’d push her the hell away. Do anything to make her hate me.
But I know I won’t. I’ll never stop until I have her. Even if it destroys us both.
SAMANTHA -- I first saw Hawk McCullough from behind the safety of a camera lens.
I try to be invisible when I’m working to capture a moment in a photo. But the way Hawk’s eyes locked onto mine, like the lens wasn’t even there -- I was exposed. They burned into me. Possessing me. Claiming me as his.
I can tell from the look in his eyes he’s damaged. Ruthless. A predator.
I should run far away from him. But I know it’s too late. I’m already his prey.
CAS -- They call me Ghost for a reason. Silent and in the shadows, I don't make my move until I am absolutely sure of everything.
Four years ago I was sure about Jenna. My best friend's kid sister had grown up into a spitfire I couldn't resist.
One night we stopped resisting...
We promised we'd keep it a secret. It was a one-time mistake, but we'd put it behind us. Jenna left but I kept my word.
Jenna tried to get out of our corrupt town, but it pulled her back in again. Now she needs help. She needs protection. I'll do all of that for her, if she'll just shut the hell up and let me. She can even keep all of her secrets, except for one...
JENNA -- The Lords of Carnage MC has haunted me from the moment I was born. No matter how much I try to get away, they are there -- waiting to pull me back into the life that stole my father, my mother and then my brother from me. The ghosts of my past keep rising from the dead.
Now the past is stirring again and all I want to do is run away. I'm back in the world I fled, and the secrets and lies of my whole family are about to be laid bare. But it's not just me anymore. I've got my little boy to look out for, too. I’m his only family. And his father has no idea he exists.
I swore I would never go back to the MC. I swore I would never make the same mistakes again. But making mistakes with Casper Watkins is too hard to resist…
The first time I met her, she was buck naked and mad as hell.
Things went a little crazy after that.
I just moved to Springville to start my first season as wide receiver for the Rockets. As luck would have it, the condo I’m renting is right next door to a straight-laced grad student who hardly ever pulls her nose out of a book. I’m pretty sure our first meeting was a hell of a lot more fun for me than it was for her. And ever since then, she looks at me like she wishes I’d spontaneously combust in front of her eyes.
I get more than enough of female attention. I know I should just ignore her. But there’s something about Ivy – and not just her smoking hot body. It’s like I’m eight years old and wanna pull her pigtails just to see her stomp her feet at me. She’s wound up tighter than a rubber band. But the way her ass shimmies when she stalks away from me tells me there’s a completely different girl underneath.
And nothing’s gonna stop me from finding out.
The complete collection of the Stone Kings MC series, finally available for one low price.
RUSH: Grey and Seton
I can’t stop lusting after a killer.
SETON -- Greyson Stone is the president of the Stone Kings MC, and he’s seriously bad news. He’s big and bad, dripping with menace, and covered in tattoos. He has the kind of dominant swagger that should make me want to run away…
Instead, it makes me fantasize about him.
Even though I know he’s a thug. Even though men like Greyson caused the violence that ended my father’s life…
One rough, demanding night with Greyson, and I don’t know how to walk away. Even when life depends on it…
GREYSON -- As the president of the Stone Kings, I have a few rules. Ride or die. Death before dishonor. And the club always, always comes before any woman.
Simple. Easy. At least, it is until I see her.
Big green eyes, killer curves, and that mouth… F*ck, the things I want to do to her. The second I saw her, I knew I wanted to make her mine. Ruin her for all other men.
I also knew that can’t ever happen, because I’m keeping a secret… and if anyone finds out, I’m not the only one who will get hurt.
One night with Seton in my bed, and suddenly I’m wondering... aren’t some rules meant to be broken?

CRASH: Levi and Cherish
LEVI -- She’s a good girl ... from a world I left behind years ago. One where virtue and purity are all that matter. She’s never learned about desire, about lust. And how a fire can burn so hot that you’ll risk anything to quench the flames.
I’m going to change all that. She’s got a body that was made for pleasure -- she just doesn’t know it yet. And I’m just the bastard to teach her.
She’s come to me for protection from the cold, cruel world. Trouble is, the thing she needs protecting from most of all … is me.
CHERISH -- He was just a name -- my only chance to escape from the way I was raised. I went to him in desperation, hoping for help, for refuge.
I found a man unlike any I’ve ever known. And now I understand: purity is easy when there's no temptation.
His touch fills me with forbidden longing. He sets me on fire ... until burning up sounds like heaven.

RIDE: Trig and Eva
TRIG -- Speed defines my life. Fast bikes and fast women, with no attachments and no regrets.
Until one epically bad decision brings me screeching to a halt -- and face to face with the only woman who ever made me want to slow down and stay awhile.
Eva Van Buren. Ten years ago, I was this close to getting my hands on that tight little body. Now, she’s my physical therapist.
I’ve never forgotten her beauty: blonde hair, amazing sapphire eyes, toned legs ... and the way she moves, every step turning me on. There’s just one little problem with our unexpected reunion.
She f*cking hates me.
I don’t care. Life has given me another shot and I’m not wasting it. While Eva works to get me back on my feet, I’ll be doing everything possible to get her off of hers … and into my bed.
EVA -- Trig Jackson. The most arrogant manwhore on the planet. I don’t have time for men -- but if I did, he’d be last on my list.
I have to stay professional. Which isn’t easy when his muscled, tattooed body makes me want to touch him all over … especially in places that have nothing to do with his treatment.
He hurt me like no one ever has. I have to remember that, dig up the pain from where I buried it, and use it to keep him at bay. Ignore his sexy smile and all the things that made me fall for him back then.
I can’t trust him. So why do I want to rip his clothes off and give him the most intimate therapy possible?

STAND: Cal and Andi
She doesn’t trust me. And she’s damn right not to. I get what I want, when I want it.
CAL -- Especially when what I want is Andi Wagner. All legs and sass and pouty lips.
We’ve been dancing around each other for a while now. It’s only a matter of time before she gives in to the inevitable. But when she finally comes to me, it’s for a reason I never would have guessed in a million years.
I’ll bring in the entire force of the Stone Kings MC to protect her. I’ll lay down my life if I need to. But when this is through – assuming we both survive it -- she’s going to be mine. All mine.
ANDI -- I’ve spent years hiding. Hiding who I am, hiding my past, and making sure no one knows my secrets.
Most of all, I’ve been hiding my lust for sexy, cocky Cal Greenlee. He’s my deepest secret of all. One I don’t dare ever confess… especially to myself.
But when a mysterious stalker starts leaving me unmistakable signs that my past is coming back to destroy me, Cal’s the only one I can turn to for help. Even though I’m terrified letting him in will make all the walls I’ve built come tumbling down -- exposing me to the last person in the world I should trust with my shattered heart.
I’ve worked my a** off for years to get where I am. And I’m not about to let douchebag extraordinaire Jake Ryland screw it up for me.
I’m this close to a huge promotion at the foundation I work for. It’s so close I can taste it – until the cocky, uncontrollable quarterback for the Springville Rockets comes crashing into my life.
My entire future depends on keeping Jake on the straight and narrow, and keeping my brain in the driver’s seat. But Jake Ryland makes me want to lose control. Every time he looks my way -- eyes raking down my body like he owns it – I feel like I’m going to burst into flames. He makes me want to risk everything to feel his heat. Even if letting go ends up destroying everything I’ve ever worked for.

”I was still reeling from what had happened between me and Ryker that morning. It had been completely wrong, completely unexpected.
And the best sex of my life.”
I left the town of Cheyenne when I was barely thirteen. My father sent me away. An outlaw motorcycle club was no place for a growing girl, he said. Yeah, right. He just didn’t want the men of the Throttle ogling his daughter.
Now I’m back, after seven years away. It’s time to reconcile with my past. But the cocky, hot-as-hell stranger I meet by the side of the road turns out to be the last person I should be looking at that way. Ryker Stone is fire, and I‘m praying like hell I don’t get burned.
From best-selling author Daphne Loveling... a steamy standalone novel you won’t be able to put down !
Two families. Four lives. One club.
Tallie Hendricks lost her older brother Kyle (road name Gonzo) to the Fugitives MC as a young girl. Now all grown up, Tallie goes back to the club to seek revenge for the family they destroyed. When she comes face to face with Spider -- Kyle's best friend and the new vice-president of the club -- the encounter unleashes a dark secret from the past that threatens to blow the club wide apart. Their story, and the mystery of what really happened to Gonzo, will have you turning the pages of this explosive three-part, multiple perspective novel as fast as you can.
All in. Or all out. There is no in between.
Jenny -- I knew Smoke was bad news. It was written all over him like the tattoos that lined his muscular arms. From the moment the vice-president of the Los Perdidos MC approached me with that panty-melting stare, I should have run far, far away. But I’ve never been one to take the easy way out.
No matter how wrong it was, no matter how much I fought it, I couldn’t stay away. My friends tried to warn me. They tell me he’s dangerous. They’re right. But with him, I feel more alive than I ever have. Men like this don’t come with a white picket fence. If I stay with him, I’m risking everything. It’s his world or mine. All out, or all in. Once I choose, I can never go back.
Intrigue, danger, and passion, under the Untamed Moon...
Walking home late one night, Kait is abducted by two dangerous men who threaten to kill her if she doesn’t do what they want. Just before the unthinkable happens, Kait is rescued by an enormous gray wolf that jumps out of the shadows to fight the two men. What Kait witnesses next is beyond her comprehension – especially when her wolf savior shifts before her eyes into the form of Tristan, a gorgeous human man.
What happens next throws the two strangers together in a world of danger and uncertainty, with only Tristan to protect them. And through it all, Kait knows she will have to make a difficult choice: will she abandon the only life she’s ever known to follow him – and embark on a future in which both their lives are at risk?
I’ve just started work on book 3 of my latest series, Lords of Carnage MC. It will be out in mid-July. Response to the first two books has been really good so far, and I’m really excited about this one.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
I write romance, so I suppose the message of my books is always, “Love finds a way!” :) But beyond that, I always say that I like to write alpha males with creamy centers, and feisty females they can’t help but fall in love with. My alphas tend to have a hidden side that only the heroine gets to see. And my heroines, as much as they fall hard for the men who steal their hearts, are tough and strong in their own rights... even if they don’t always know it.
How much of the book is realistic and are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
Well, most of my books so far have been motorcycle club romances, and I’m not in a motorcycle club –nor is my husband, lol! But, I definitely have to say that I’ve been surprised during my journey as a writer about how much of my real life does seep into my stories. The actual events might not be based on my life or people I know, but on an emotional level, I definitely imagine my characters’ journey through their lives based on things that have happened to me or people I love, and how we have handled them. Oh, and I do definitely know how to ride a motorcycle and love them!
Who designed the covers?
I have a great cover designer, Lara from Coverlüv. She’s insanely easy to work with and really knows her stuff. The covers for the Lords of Carnage series have been her best yet for me – and I know that because readers have gone out of their way to say how much they like them!
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Oh, gosh, yes. Discipline, especially. I have this dumb saying: “The only way to write is to write.” You have to sit down and do it. Even if you aren’t feeling inspired. Even if you don’t want to. Even if it’s a beautiful day and you’d rather go to the beach or to the park or something. Even if social media is sucking you in. I treat writing exactly like a normal full-time job, in that I write Monday through Friday, I take weekends off, and I have a set number of words I have to write in a day. My butt is in the chair at the same time every morning. And I do my best to only look at social media during my breaks. That sounds like I’m more disciplined than I actually am, but you get the idea. I don’t get to make excuses for not reaching my daily word total unless something seriously catastrophic happens.
When and why did you begin writing?
I started writing romance in 2013, but mostly just dabbling around with it. To be honest, I started because I wanted a career that I could do anywhere, because my husband and I want to travel when he retires in a few years. I had this image of me sitting on a beach somewhere, watching him take surf lessons or something while I’m tapping away on my laptop. Then, in May 2016, I decided to quit my day job – much earlier than I had ever anticipated – and make writing my full-time career.
What book are you reading now?
I just finished Slow Burn by Roxie Noir. It was fantastic, like all her books. She’s one of my favorite indie romance authors, for sure. I always get really excited when she has a new book out.
If any of your books was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
Ooohh, what a fun question! Hm. Well, right at the moment, in the book I’m writing, the main character is a feisty redhead, and I always go online and find pictures on Google of people who look like how I imagine the characters to look, for inspiration. So, for Sydney (the female main character), I chose Rose Leslie. She’s the woman who played Ygritte in Game of Thrones. She is seriously gorgeous.
