A San Antonio rodeo may hold the key to finding the truth behind two missing people

When Sierra Bradford's best friend and goddaughter are abducted, she vows to find them at any cost. Sierra—shot at the scene of their kidnapping—checks in to a motel to treat her wounds. It's there that she encounters former Green Beret Rafe Vargas, who's come to her aid…and not for the first time. As his best friend's sister, Sierra is off-limits. But that hardly stops a powerful attraction from growing as they work together on an undercover sting operation to find her friend's adbuctors. Under the guise of a rodeo cowboy and his pregnant wife, Rafe and Sierra come to find out that the rodeo may be the key to their investigation—and their possible future.


Action packed and full of danger! You’re hooked from the start and the excitement doesn’t stop throughout. Great characters that are easy to get invested in.

Sierra Bradford is desperate to rescue her best friend and goddaughter who were abducted right in front of her. She was shot during the altercation, so she hunkers down in a motel room to tend to her wound and figure out where to go next in her search.

The minute Rafe Vargas hears that Sierra is in trouble, he tracks her down to come to her aid. They have history, and even though he’s not the type of guy for her, he cares about her well-being and plans to get her to safety as soon as possible.

They wind up going undercover as a couple in the rodeo to try to figure out what exactly her friend had been involved in that got her kidnapped … and grasp on to any lead that can might help find her and her daughter. Will their search be successful or has too much time passed already?

Excerpt from Ride Hard:

“So much better out here,” Haven said, the night air cool against the tingling warmth of her skin. Although she was pretty sure that not all of the heat burning through her insides was from the alcohol—her unusual flirtatiousness and closeness to Dare over the past half hour had made her desperate with a heat that had nothing to do with her drinking game.

She walked to the railing and leaned against it, chuckling a little at herself for needing the support it offered. She felt so damn free, and it was a heady, exhilarating thing.

“What’s funny?” Dare asked, settling a hip against the railing right beside her. Arms crossed, jaw ticking with tension, dark eyes blazing, he was staring at her like he wanted to reprimand her or devour her. Oddly, neither alarmed her the way she would’ve expected it to.

Haven shook her head, leaning it back and letting her gaze float over the night sky. Blurry points of light swam in the moonlit heavens. It was beautiful and peaceful despite the pounding bass beat of music thumping from inside the clubhouse. “Not funny, just good. Happy, you know? Being able to do something a little . . . scary, but knowing I’d be safe doing it.” When Dare’s gaze narrowed, she shrugged. “I don’t know.”

A long moment passed before Dare finally spoke. “You are safe here, Haven. Never doubt it.”

Peering up at him, she nodded, all kinds of words sitting on the tip of her tongue, challenging her to let them fly. “It’s weird feeling safe—or at least safer—after a lifetime of not. It makes me want to try things I could never let myself try before. It makes me . . .” She shook her head and dipped her chin.

Dare stepped closer, his thighs coming up against her hip. He lifted her chin and made her look at him. The contact combined with the command in the gesture lanced white-hot desire through her veins. “Makes you what?”

“Want to feel alive,” she whispered, her heart suddenly racing in her chest.

Dare’s jaw ticked again as his gaze swept over her face. She didn’t think she was imagining the raw emotion pouring off of him and wrapping around her, but she wasn’t sure if she was reading that emotion right or projecting her own desire onto him.

“Do you feel alive, Dare?” she asked, the alcohol flowing through her and the night spinning around her like she was walking through a dream.

“Jesus,” he bit out.

The rough desperation in his voice made her wet between her legs. “Just once,” she whispered, not sure what she was asking him for.

But he seemed to know. Because his hand was suddenly tangled in her hair and his mouth was suddenly on hers, claiming, probing, tasting.

Haven moaned and parted her lips, inviting him deeper.

Dare jerked back from her, his fingers rubbing roughly over his lips. “Fuck, I’m sorry.”

On instinct, Haven’s body pursued his, pinning his back to the railing. “Please don’t stop,” she said as her hands gripped his shoulders. She had the strongest urge to climb him, to wrap her legs around him, to grind against the hard bulge pressing electrically against her belly.

“Please,” she whispered, tilting her mouth toward his. “I liked it.”

Dare’s hand cupped the back of her head. “You’re killing me.”

“Dare,” she said, her body restless against his.

In a move that sent the world spinning, he flipped them around so that she was the one pinned against the railing. He pushed his legs between hers and leaned down over her, forcing her to arch her back, to yield, to open to him. “Tell me what you want from me. Say the words,” he said, his eyes absolutely on fire.

Her heart was a runaway train in her chest, frantic and picking up speed. The thought of giving voice to her desires was terrifying and thrilling and dizzying all at once.

“I want your mouth,” she said. The words sounded odder out loud than they had in her head, but they were more accurate than asking him to kiss her—because her mouth wasn’t the only place she wanted his.

“Jesus,” he rasped again, his mouth coming down on hers once more.

The whimper she released was part relief, part anticipation. It had been so long since she’d kissed someone that she felt a little uncertain, but Dare’s intensity barely allowed her the capacity to worry about it. He was like a dark storm bearing down on her, relentless, magnetic, all-consuming.

Rough callouses from his hands scratched against her cheeks as he guided her. Hard breaths spilled over her lips, and the wet slide of his tongue tasted like whiskey and desire and man. Her hands found the soft length of his hair, and her breasts pushed against the hard plane of his chest.

Then her lips were freed as his mouth slid over her skin—exploring her cheek, her jaw, her ear, her neck. He hiked her up to sit on the wide railing, the move surprising a gasp out of her, especially as he crowded the space between her legs, pushing himself closer, bringing his erection against the place between her legs craving friction, hardness, so much more of him. Maybe even all of him.

One strong arm wrapped around her back and held her steady, while the other hand stroked her hair, her face, her breast. The soft groans and breathy grunts spilling out of him were delicious and thrilling, and bolstered her confidence that she wasn’t the only one losing herself in this moment, in these touches. She almost couldn’t believe this was happening, and part of her was certain she must be dreaming. Because Haven Randall didn’t have beautiful things in her life. At least, never before.

What could be more romantic than a wedding... unless you're stuck in a fake relationship with a hot man you don't like. Warm up after a long winter with two fun, romantic wedding romances available together for a limited time.

Hired Bride by Noelle Adams - For years, Deanna's eccentric grandmother has been trying to marry her off to a rich man, and she's finally managed to do it. Sexy, obnoxious Mitchell Graves needs a wife to finalize a business deal, and he thinks she'll be easy enough to manage as a wife. He couldn't be more wrong.

The Wedding Season by Samantha Chase - To get through the six weddings she has to attend this summer, Tricia plans to pretend her best friend, Sean, is her boyfriend. But then Sean sends his brother, Ryan, in his place. Now Tricia has to go to all these weddings with her best friend's brother, who is stirring up feelings she never expected.

HIRED BRIDE by Noelle Adams  — Quirky meets outspoken and the sparks are sweet and intense!

Deanna Beaufort’s grandmother has been trying to coerce her into snagging a rich husband for years now, and when she sees an opportunity in the making, she makes sure to push her towards doing the deed!

Businessman Mitchell Graves is perfectly happy with his casual relationships and no commitment lifestyle, but when he needs a way into finalizing a business deal that means a lot to him personally, he agrees to a temporary marriage to achieve it.

During their time together, they each start to see another side to each other and they actually really enjoy their time together. Will they actually still want to end this marriage when the time comes?


THE WEDDING SEASON by Samantha Chase  —  A sweet set up and fun times together leads to more than they ever bargained for!

Tricia Patterson and her best friend Sean Peterson were invited to way too many weddings this summer, so they came up with a plan to pretend to be dating and go together to each one so their friends could no longer try to set them up with people or give them the looks of pity.  Only problem is, Sean has something come up that makes it impossible for him to attend, so he sends his brother in his place!

Ryan Peterson has always liked Tricia when she was always hanging around with Sean, but never really got to know her on his own.  Will the time they spend together at each of these weddings make them wonder why they have never noticed each other before and wonder if they should be planning one of their own??

After identifying her employer's dangerous enemies, Jessica Jakes takes refuge at the compound of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection didn't make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him--and always has.

Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and feistiest woman he's ever known, one he's purposely kept at a distance for years. Now, Ike's not sure he can keep his hands or his heart to himself--or that he even wants to anymore. And that means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.


My first Laura Kaye book will definitely not be my last! I was wanting to start her Raven Rider MC series, so I grabbed this prequel/crossover that kicked it all off. I haven’t read the Hard Ink series, but I didn’t find it hard to pick this one up and enjoy it at all … easy to follow, described enough from that series to follow along without a problem. I really enjoyed tough guy Ike … especially the tender center that Jess brings out. They both carry a lot of guilt for previous times in their life, but to move forward, they find themselves able to let go of enough to let each other in. Loved their story and look forward to getting to know more of the MC guys soon!

Jessica Jakes finds herself in a boatload of trouble when she accidentally gets mixed up with a dangerous group that is targeting her employers. She needs to get out of her house … and fast!

Ike Young is there the minute Jess calls him for help. He can’t stand to see her so afraid and vows to keep her safe. He takes her back to the Raven Rider’s compound to lie low until the Hard Ink guys can catch the men that are after them and it’s safe for her to go home again. Ike likes Jess a lot … which is exactly why he’s kept his distance from her. The attraction between them is explosive .. and it doesn’t take long for their solitary time together to cause it to detonate!
