MC Fiend (Curves on Bikes #1)


Ember Flint - 2020
     “This guy is even more my type than I thought he could be…” 22-year-old Wren Edwards grew up in an attentive, high-society family that never made her feel anything but loved, yet she always knew she was different: her brother wanted to take polo lessons when he was little, while she asked their parents for a welder on her tenth birthday.She’s not afraid of a little grease, the smells of motor oil and gasoline make her reach Nirvana and she’s only ever happy when she’s driving her bike. Fast. Now that she’s done early with her degree in mechanical engineering, she’s ready to start living her biggest dream: build custom-made bikes. Normally, mechanics take a look at her tiny form and shake their heads, thinking her nothing but a silly MC bunny that is looking for something other than a bike to ride. Normally, they get a kick where it hurts the most for their chauvinistic assumptions at that point.But as soon as she sets foot in Ash Falls, Wren leaves ‘normally’ behind and, if someone would make the same comment there, she would have to concede that they were right.Because, if there’s one biker that she loves more than bikes, that’s her new boss.The biker she’s been crushing on for years, the only one that can turn her into a fiend in seconds, the one that melted all her pluckiness into mush and proved that yes: he could be even hotter than he appeared to be in pictures: the current Pres of her late biological father’s MC, the one her dad told her she had to completely stay away from. “This girl has ‘trouble’ spelled all over her, but I can’t stay away…” 36-year-old Bear Donovan was born into wealth and power, but never had it easy, and choosing to walk away from his corporate destiny as a kid to seek justice and retribution for his one true family didn’t make his life any simpler, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.For seventeen years he has led the Kings of Ember, slowly washing away the blood and pain from the streets of Ash Falls, always riding on, working with his brothers to rebuild what was rightfully theirs, never stopping until, just like a phoenix, the MC they all loved could rise from its ashes and fly again.The embers burn bright once more, they have for almost ten years now. Their town is peaceful and quiet and there are only three things that Bear wants to do: keep his MC in power, ride his bikes, and build the best damn choppers money can buy this side of Maine.No woman’s ever going to mess his plans up. The last thing he needs is to deal with some biker bunny, especially the daughter of the fallen king, the one who’s not supposed to even be there, the one he can’t absolutely have, the Pocket-size Hurricane on wheels that’s one kiss away from bringing him to his knees. Dear Reader: Holy-insta-love, this romance is one fast ride: don’t forget to put your helmet on and hold on tight!As always, I’m giving you a drama-free happily-ever-after with NO-cheating.This cute, fluffy — not to mention, totally inappropriate— short novel is pure sugary steam and features a fierce, curvy princess that loves to get her hands dirty, and will absolutely stop at nothing to get her man to see things her way, and a protective, aptly named alpha hero that’s built like a wall, has a sweetly-obsessive heart and falls so fast for our heroine, you might blink and miss it. *Please note that MC Fiend is part of the ‘Curves on Bikes Series’ set in the Kings of Ember MC ™ universe, each one of the stories focuses only on one couple and there are no cliffhangers but going through them in order can provide a better reading experience. MC Fiend is also featured in the multi-author collection ‘Chasing Dreams’.

He’s probably the hottest guy on the planet, and if I can only get my foot out of my mouth long enough, I might even be able to get him to help save my dad’s ass. But something tells me he has both his smoldering eyes on my own curvaceous behind. He wants to make me his, to feed, seed then breed me. If I can just get past the ‘girl like me’ complex, I think I might have just found the man of my dreams. But is it really that easy? Does love at first sight really exist regardless of age and size differences? I’m prepared to die finding out.
