As much as he loved his family and their farm, he craved something else, something wild. Into his life rides Eight on the back of a Harley. Scared to death, but drawn to the tall, mean biker, Kale faces the needs within himself that he didn’t know were there.

Eight was not the sweet, caring boyfriend that Kale imagined he’d one day meet, but the connection and passion they held for each other was something they couldn’t seem to let go. Problems within his club make his being with Kale dangerous, so Eight leaves. Kale is heartbroken, but determined to find him. When that doesn’t seem possible, he moves on, at least he thought. Somehow, Eight refused to leave his heart. Aces and Eights brings you the beginning of a new series, centering on the world of bikers, danger and a different kind of love. Welcome back old friends, and embrace the new brothers. Ride with Kale and Eight through the stormy road of their lives and their love. less

The Aztecas, along with the Devil’s Rebels must fight the new threat, along with those pushing for the takeover of the club. Kale sees his world crashing down around him, but shows Eight he can he trusted to help. Kale grabbed that hand and held it tightly, leaning in to give him a kiss. “You talk a good game for someone who melts when our puppy licks you and wags her tail. I’ve seen your soft underbelly, babe, and you can’t change that.” “You really think I’ve changed, huh?” Kale laughed loudly at that. “I think you’ve changed more than anyone I’ve ever known, but the old you is still there. I doubt if you’ll don an apron anytime soon and start baking cookies.” “Baking cookies? Next, you’ll ask me to breastfeed!” “Why, Eight! Are you asking me to have babies with you?” He knew Kale was kidding, but suddenly his heart stopped, and he felt his saliva dry up. Kale didn’t notice, but that scared the crap out of him. Then he did notice. Kale turned to face him, worry evident on his handsome face, brows drawn, mouth thin and tight. “Eight?” Trying to smile, Eight whispered, “Someday. Maybe.” Kale was as shocked as him. He didn’t know where it came from, or why he’d said it, but as soon as he had, it felt right. “Eight? Eight, what the hell are you talking about?” Trying to brush it off wasn’t going to work, he knew that much. Kale would persist until it drove him crazy, so he said simply, “Someday. Maybe. For now, no. We have enough to handle.” He was fidgeting, and that wasn’t like him. He chewed his thumbnail and looked away; avoiding whatever expression Kale may have on his face. Good, bad or blank. “Eight, you’d want that? With me?” “I said, someday. Maybe! Don’t you hear right, Chiquito? Maybe you should get your ears cleaned out.” He rose from the couch and started to leave the room, but he was nearly tackled with Kale jumping on his back, wrapping arms around his throat as he cheered, “You just keep surprising me, Eight.” less

When a huge corporation moves into the area and starts trying to buy up all the local farms, they use less than scrupulous means to obtain the land. Good thing that the local farms have some less than scrupulous bikers close by. Eight Cardenas is in love with a sweet farm boy. The things they’ve already gone through would send most men screaming, but not Kale Acer. Every obstacle that’s come in between them and their dreams of happily ever after have been hard fought, but conquered... moreWhen a huge corporation moves into the area and starts trying to buy up all the local farms, they use less than scrupulous means to obtain the land.

Every obstacle that’s come in between them and their dreams of happily ever after have been hard fought, but conquered. That was before they were fighting something much bigger than a rival club or other unseemly characters. These were businessmen, and more corrupt and devious than any cartel member or outlaw biker. They enlist Rodney with the blessing of Nando and Andre. Rodney wanted to earn his way back into everyone’s trust, but not for Kale. For the growing feelings he was having for his two owners. The humiliation, rough treatment and less than caring ways they handled him were more than fine for Rodney, who’d dreamed of being a plaything all of his adult life. The only problem were those feelings. Could Nando or Andre ever return them? If not, could he continue with it? less
