Hounds of Hell MC 4: Ryder ~ Available today!

I’m not the settling type, but she’s in my heart. I’ll protect her from the Mafia or die trying…

Margot -- I've loved Ryder since we were kids, but he's never been the type to stick with anyone for long. Being a deputy sheriff means I see the world differently--by the law. He’s the opposite. The Mafia took my father from me. When they return to threaten everything I care about, including Ryder, I realize the line between right and wrong isn’t so clear. If we’re going to survive this, I’ll need Ryder’s strength. Maybe this time, we’ll face danger together.

Ryder -- Margot’s been right in front of me for years, but I’m the guy who never sticks around. Commitment? Not for me. Now she’s all I see. When the Mafia comes after the Hounds, everything is at stake. Margot’s not just a deputy sheriff -- she’s the woman I’ve always needed. The woman I love. I’ll die before I let anything happen to her.

Buy it @ Changeling Press

Excerpt

With the efficiency of a SWAT team, she ordered lunch, paid for it, and had them tucked away at a small table in the corner, enjoying burgers and fries.

“What’s that?” Ryder pointed at the tall, covered cup.

“Strawberry shake. They’ve always had the best shakes here. You want one?”

“Nah,” Ryder said. “Just a little concerned, is all. You’re starting with milkshakes. Milkshakes lead to donuts. Next thing you know, you’re going to lose your girlish figure and you’ll be stuck running radar out by the interstate.”

Margot laughed, a high, lovely sound. “Don’t worry about my girlish figure.”

“I like your girlish figure,” Ryder said, grinning.

“Since when?” A little of the humor faded from her expression at that. “I’m probably the only non-relative female you haven’t slept with in a hundred-mile radius.”

“More like a 50-mile radius,” Ryder said.

But he hadn’t been lying when he said he liked her figure. Margot was just about perfect. Nice rack. Great ass. A killer smile made all the more adorable for her dark eyes and the freckles across the bridge of her nose.

Margot had a good head on her shoulders, too. He enjoyed talking to her, their playful banter. He couldn’t imagine a world where he couldn’t have these light-hearted conversations with Mercy’s newest deputy sheriff.

“It doesn’t bother you to be having lunch with a biker?” He couldn’t resist asking.

“It doesn’t bother you that you’re having lunch with a cop?” Margo eyed him. “How did you get to town?”

“Rode my bike,” Ryder said. “Might not have been my best idea. I mean, I was okay getting here. Not sure how getting back is going to go.”

“How long are you going to stay?” Margot’s dark-eyed gaze stayed on him.

Shrugging a shoulder, Ryder finished off a French fry. “I’d like to finish the day out,” he admitted. “But now that I’m sitting here, I’m feeling pretty fucking tired.”

It was the truth and he’d never been good at keeping that from her. His friend’s gaze was knowing.

“Why don’t we take you home after lunch? I’d be glad to drive you back.”

Ryder knew she would. But he would disappoint himself if he left after lunch to go home and climb back into bed in that lonely, quiet house. Shaking his head, he ate another fry, thought it over.

“I’m tired. Just not sure I’m tired enough to go back to the house and hang out by myself.”

More concern bled into her expression. “At least take a nap in the lounge or something. No one’s going to give you shit for it. You almost died.”

He had. Axel and Hero both cut him worried looks the entire time he’d been there, working on that engine. Margot had a point.

“Well, with me getting back on my feet, let me know if you need help with anything at the house.” He meant it. “Clyde was as bad as you about never wanting to bother anyone. If you need help with anything, I’m right here.”

Margot nodded, eating her burger. After a moment, her gaze met his. Her dark eyes were glossy.

“I still can’t believe he’s gone, Ryder,” she said quietly. “No warning. Just gone.”

Reaching across the table, he covered her hand with his. Some emotion flashed in her eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it came.

“He loved you more than anything,” he said. “Clyde was so proud of you.”

A tear spilled down her cheek at the words. “I know he was. It’s just… I worked so hard to find a job back over here in Mercy so I could be with him, help him as he got older. And now he’s gone. Shot by some mafia asshole like he was nothing.”

Swiping at her tears with her free hand, Margot tried to regain her composure.

“Clyde didn’t deserve that. And I wish my brother had been able to take that asshole out. Slow. But Sawyer was there and now the bastard’s in jail.”

That stopped her cold. Carefully, she moved her hand out from under his, shaking her head. “Don’t say that. He’ll pay for what he did in the system. Spend a long time in jail. He’ll think about what he did.”

“Will he?” Ryder asked. “He’s part of a criminal organization, Margot. They have a lot of resources. Maybe he’ll go to jail, but he won’t think a second about your father. He won’t be sitting up in some jail cell regretting his crimes either.”

He didn’t like the way her confidence waned, but he had to say it. “He’ll be trying to find a way out of there. And when he does, he’ll be looking for some payback and he’ll have his entire crime family at his back.”

Margot’s spine straightened where she sat, meeting his gaze squarely. “I have faith in the system. That man will pay for what he’s done.”

Ryder wasn’t so sure about that. He didn’t give a shit about the system. “He will pay,” Ryder said, hoping that he’d be the one to mete out that retribution. What he wouldn’t give to have a shot at the sons-of-bitches who killed Clyde Donner and Morgan Davis. Who tried to kill him.

He had faith in Margot. She’d been through the training, worked in the next county over. Margot knew what she was doing. But she was new enough that she still thought the criminal justice system infallible. Had she ever had dealings with big crime families? Did she understand what she was getting into?

Worse, he worried that the loss of her father would cause her to make a decision that would put her in harm’s way.

“Okay,” she said, her dark-eyed gaze on him. “If you won’t let me drive you back home and you insist on trying to stay at the garage, I’ll make you an offer. If you’re too tired to ride back to the country, you can crash at the house. I don’t have a spare key on me. But I have one. I’ll leave it under that old stone squirrel my dad loved.”

Always looking after him. What would he have done all those long weeks after he’d gotten out of the hospital without her? Axel had been the one to help him change his bandages, got him in the shower. Margot took care of most everything else from changing his bedding and keeping up the house, to bringing him groceries and leaving him meals he could warm up and eat. She’d taken care of him, her daily visits something he looked forward to.

What he’d done to deserve her, he didn’t know. Maybe she needed to stay busy to deal with her own loss.

“Sounds good,” Ryder said after a moment. “In case I haven’t told you, thank you. For everything. I’m not sure why you took it upon yourself to take care of my dumb ass but I’m grateful.”

Soft pink darkened her face. “You’re welcome.”

Something occurred to him. “Wait. You’re working the day shift,” he pointed out. “Where are you going to be later that you need to leave me a key?”

“Tonight’s my first class,” Margot reminded him.

“That’s right,” he said. “Your self-defense class.” She’d been so excited about it, telling him about what she had planned over the last few weeks. “I think Sadie signed up for it.”

“She did,” Margot said, smiling. “I think it will be good for her after everything she’d been through. And I was surprised. The day we got you back into the hospital, she came with Axel. We had a minute in the hall, and she was just… apologizing to me for my dad. She was blaming herself because it was her ex that killed him. But it wasn’t her fault.”

“No, it wasn’t,” Ryder said. “I think your class will help her.”

Something about the smile she cut him had his heart skipping a beat. Margot was a pretty woman. He’d always thought so. Unlike most of the girls he went around with, Margot didn’t do a lot to emphasize her natural beauty. Her nails were unpainted and short, and she wore only a hint of makeup most days. Her hair was put up in a precise bun, glossy and neat. Her uniform always pressed.

Yeah, sure. He’d seen Margot many times in her street clothes. She always favored jeans and simple tops. Her hair was usually pulled back into a ponytail and those days she didn’t wear any makeup. Not that she needed it. She was clearly comfortable in her own skin without all the paint and other enhancements women used to boost their femininity.

Her confidence was sexy as hell. Funny, considering Margot didn’t see herself that way. She didn’t realize she had the cutest ass, and her confident stride showed it off. What would Margot look like in a bikini, stretched out on a towel on the beach?

Shaking his head to clear it, he grinned. “Thanks for the offer of a place to stay,” he said. “Might take you up on it.”

Margot smiled. “Please do.”

The flirty little way she said that had him thinking thoughts he had no business thinking about his best friend.

Dr. Finn Moore could have any woman in town. Ellie tried reminding herself that the handsome bachelor was her boss…right up until the moment he spread her out on his desk.

That was going to make things uncomfortable at the office Monday morning.

Giving into lust and red-hot attraction by letting her boss into her panties was one thing. Ellie wasn’t sure she could trust him with her heart, not when her children’s happiness was also at stake.

Her children had been her only priority since her husband left her for a younger woman. Nearly two years later, she was still getting back on her feet when Finn offered her a job at his veterinary clinic.

Though his motives weren’t completely professional. He hadn’t been able to get the single mom out of his head since he first laid eyes on her.

Finn

My ‘Angel’ disappeared from my life when I needed her the most. Gone. Left me for no reason. My heart shattered, the longing for her consuming me.

When I track her down nine years later, she’s not the same girl she once was.

Gone is the sweet, innocent blond I fell in love with.

Now replaced with a cherry red, tattooed woman with a foul mouth.

But I don’t care. She’s mine. Always has been, always will be. But it’s not just her anymore... She has secrets. Lies.

What is she running from? And why won’t she let me protect her?

I refuse to let her run from us anymore.

Secrets have a way of coming out. I just hope we’re strong enough to survive them.

Angel

When I wake in a hospital bed after a stupid mistake, the last thing I thought I’d see was Finn O’Connell staring down at me.

The man I left. The man whose heart I broke. The man who is dangerous to be around.

He doesn’t care that I’m not the innocent girl I was when we were young. He doesn’t care about the scars I carry inside and out. The only thing he cares about is us becoming a family.

I can’t let him get close. There’s too much at risk. Too many secrets and lies to be revealed.

But when the only man I’ve ever loved makes me an offer I can’t refuse, it leads to devastating consequences, putting everything I’ve ever cared about in jeopardy.

Can we pull together and survive the secrets and lies? Or will the truth tear us apart?

The Flying Planet (Manhua)

Genres: Shounen Ai, Romance, Drama, Webtoons

Status: Completed

Author: Hotread

Favorite Character: Ye Xiwu

Favorite Chapters: Chapter 23, Chapter 33, Chapter 36, Chapter 61, and Chapter 67

Plot Synopsis: As a handsome and rich young master of a wealthy family, women and marriage for him are playthings. But as flawless as he is, he was abandoned in his university life by a poor boy whose father died early. Meeting him again, he decided, must not let him go…

The art is nice and the story is so-so. It is wholesome, but it is too wholesome that there is no drama or conflict to make the story more interesting. Just when there was a conflict, the story ended abruptly. There are also a lot of plot holes. It wasn't clarify what happened to Xiwu's family that caused him to lose contacts with Xinglai. Why Xiwu didn't try to look for Xinglai, and even Xinglai didn't look for Xiwu even though he has the resources to do so. Xinglai background is also confusing and abruptly solved. Though, I still like the Xiwu and Xinglai as they are sweet and wholesome. They believe and trust each other.

Overall, the story is so-so. It has a lot of potential, especially the side couples. Still, I did enjoy it.

One night is all it took to change my life for the worse.

I grew up with no real home or blood family around.

Until my uncle decided to be an unwelcome hero. He offered me a new life—a home in his mansion and a fresh start at an exclusive private school. He thinks he’s better than me . . . They all do. Especially his hot-as-hell adopted son, Cameron—the reason I’m on lockdown.

Uncle Jimmy thinks he’s doing me a favor, but I know his secrets, just like he knows mine.

But the difference between us all is I’d rather live my previous life than one like this.

Cameron

In one night, she destroyed something that meant the world to me.

After filing charges, I inflict what I think is hell by having her sent to a detention center, a place with no future. Lockup. Where she belongs. I want my revenge, what was lost to me forever, but I’ll take what I can get.

That is until my adoptive father introduces me to his niece, the very bane of my existence. I refuse to look into her eyes, to give in to the intrigue she stirs within me.

I refuse to want her. Until the choice isn’t even mine.

We made a deal… one I thought I’d never make.

I’m trying not to judge myself but it’s a bit shameful.

Rent was due and I simply didn’t have it. I love the big city and I’ve done everything I could to make it. But after a rough few years, a break up that nearly destroyed me, and a personal issue that I just can’t talk about… I’m broke and hit rock bottom.

Then there’s Graham.

Richer than most could ever imagine, devilishly handsome with a charming smile, and a sparkle in his eyes that I swear is just for me.

He owns the building and now, once a month when the rent is due… he gets a piece of me I can’t believe I agreed to give. His lips on mine are addictive and the way he groans my name in pleasure is scorched into my memory.

We sealed it with a kiss and I’m all too aware that the next rock bottom for me will lead to nothing but despair and a broken heart.
