Welcome to Creekwood...

Angela

Head down, eyes peeled for any opportunity to get off the dead-end course my mother carelessly paved for me years ago.

My plan takes a sharp turn landing me directly across the hall from Creekwood’s resident bad boys. The three streetbike riding misfits are as stubborn as they are sexy. And they. Are. Sexy. Especially the one with the mocha swirl eyes watching my every move.

But even the six-foot hallway separating us can’t keep the overbearing trio from constantly getting in my way.

When my past threatens to catch up with me, I quickly learn not every detour promises an easier route, no matter how tempting my new neighbors might make it look.  

Coty

Head up, eyes locked on anything threatening to throw me off the carefully constructed path I have mapped out.

I live my life the same way I ride my bike, never once regretting the roads I’ve chosen.

Lately though, after years of the same scenery, everything’s starting to blur together. It’s only when our elusive neighbor girl comes out of nowhere that I realize what’s been missing.

And now that I have, I don’t think I can let her pass by so quickly. At least not without proving the lengths I’ll go for her first.

#BookBlitz: Venom by @HarleyW_Writer @XpressoTours #Giveaway $10 Amazon gift card

Venom
Harley Wylde
(Dixie Reapers MC #1)
Publication date: February 9th 2018
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Ridley:
I might live in a mansion in South Florida, but my daddy was a biker, and I was definitely Daddy’s girl. When I found out my mom and stepdad had something horrible planned for me, I ran. Straight to the Dixie Reapers, the only place I’d ever thought of as home, but it wasn’t my daddy’s arms I ended up in. Venom is dark and seductive, the type of man who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Despite his hard exterior, being with him makes me feel safe, and his kisses make me ache for so much more. I’ve never been with a man before, but even as inexperienced as I am, I know that being with Venom will ruin me for anyone else, and I don’t care. I want him — all of him — and damn the consequences.
Venom:
I hadn’t risen to the rank of VP of the Dixie Reapers MC without getting my hands dirty. I’d been deep in blood and dirty money for over twenty years, could have any pussy I wanted whenever I wanted and how the fuck ever I wanted. But when an angel I hadn’t seen in fourteen years came back into my life, all it took was one look in her eyes, and I was a goner. As a kid, Ridley had been this little blonde cherub who lit up the place. Now she’s older, has curves in all the right fucking places, and damn if I don’t want her. The fact she was the nineteen-year-old daughter of a patched member meant I needed to keep my hands to myself, and I might have, if she hadn’t begged me so sweetly. Now she’s mine, and I’ll do anything to keep her safe, even if it means starting a war.

I hated to trick her...

But I knew she would never go for the real me.

She was beautiful, smart and funny—everything I could want. 

And I was... well. Me. 

Tattooed, foul mouthed, bad boy. 

I told one little white lie hoping to meet someone different. And I did. 

Danniella Abbot.

She wasn’t who I was expecting, and I guess she could say the same, because Danni made it very clear she wasn’t interested in me or my reasons for lying. 

The fact that she was my best friend’s little sister only complicated an already impossible situation. 

I didn’t intend on tricking her. I just wanted her to give me a chance, to discover who I am underneath the ink.

She can fight me all she likes because we both know that I’m exactly her type. She just doesn’t know it yet. 

What happens when you wake up married to the woman you tricked into a date?

You kiss the bride and prove her wrong.
