SYNOPSIS:
Being granted a second chance at life and a first time at love was every man’s dream, but for Ace it came with a price.
Ace
By all rights, he should be dead. Serving ten years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit had affected him in ways he couldn’t begin to understand. He’d rolled out of the slammer and into a revenge plot that almost got him killed. By the grace of God, when he’d hit rock bottom, one person reached out a helping hand.
A beautiful redhead with a penchant for mischief took a shine to him and then disappeared, leaving behind only her number scribbled recklessly on his arm. Assuming he can make out all the numbers, he just might have a chance at something amazing.
Barbara
Finally divorcing her narcissistic husband was the best choice Barbara ever made. After living under his control for seven long years, she might have gone a little wild for a minute, what with jumping the hot biker and all. None of that mattered, though, because today was the day she got herself back on track.
After being given the opportunity to excavate a small cache of fossils in a remote area, Barbara is horrified to discover she’s inadvertently led a small team of her archeology students into danger. When they stumble on a secret dumping site of a vicious serial killer, Ace, the big, handsome biker takes charge. But she may have gotten herself and her students into more danger than even he can handle.
*NOTE* Although a part of the Blind Jacks MC series, ACE OF HEARTS can be read as a STANDALONE and features a new couple!
EXCERPT:
Cupping
his handsome, scarred face in her hands, Barbara kissed him on the lips. “Don’t
carry all your brother’s sins around in your heart and head for the rest of
your life. You deserve a little peace from all that.”
His
expression turned soft. “I honestly don’t deserve you.”
“You
know what Shakespeare said.”
“Troubles
come not single spies but in battalions?”
She
grinned. “He did say that. You really know your Shakespeare.”
“Like
I already said, I read a lot when I was in lockup.”
“Well,
William Shakespeare also said that if we use every man as he deserves, who
shall escape whipping?”
“I
guess he was pointing out that no one’s perfect,” Ace surmised.
Somehow,
quoting Shakespeare while having her hands on his face shifted the darkness of
the moment to something approaching intimate.
Rubbing
one thumb over his bottom lip, she murmured, “Then again, he never met you.
You’re totally my idea of perfect.”
“Bet
you say that to all the guys.” His sexy smile made her girl parts flare to
life.
“Please
tell me that we’re having sex tonight.”
Ace’s
expression lit up. “You want to have some sex with me?”
“Did
you miss the part about me thinking you’re perfect?”
Picking
up the cherry in her glass by the stem, he brought it to her lips. Parting her
lips, Barbara allowed him to slide it into her mouth. Closing her teeth
slightly, she waited for him to pull the stem. The intensity of his gaze as he
watched her chew made her feel crazy things.
“Fuck,
you are one sexy woman.”
She
smiling, swallowing the cherry. “Another?”
Without
looking away from her, he groped around in his little chilled metal dispenser
for another and brought it to her lips. Wrapping her hand around his wrist, she
used her other hand to take the cherry from him. Bringing it to his lips, they
repeated the whole scenario, only in reverse. Tossing the stem onto the bar,
she looked down at his hand. “Your fingers are stained red.”
“I’ve
been handling cherries.”
Not
taking her eyes off his, she brought his finger to her mouth. He swallowed
thickly, as he watched her suck his finger. She swirled her tongue around his
thick digit, just like she wanted to do to his cock. That concept wasn’t lost
on him.
Hooking
his finger behind her lower teeth, he pulled her gently forward. When their
mouths collided, white-hot need pulsated through her entire body. Ace was a
damned good kisser and those hot lips were making her wild. Sliding her fingers
through his hair, she practically climbed over the bar to get more of him,
vaguely aware that he was shoving the items on bar to the side.
The
next thing she knew, he’d lifted her out of her seat, dragged her over the bar,
and was walking off with her. That he could manage all that so gracefully and
without breaking their kiss was nothing short of amazing. Barbara liked
everything about this man. His casual dress, open honesty, and protective
nature got to her like nobody’s business.
And
now he was about to get to her in ways, she suspected, that no other man ever
had.
REVIEW
Ace was in prison for ten years for a crime he did not commit, it was his twin brother.
Now that he is free, two truths haunt his mind:
First, that having taken the blame for a crime, did not cause his brother to change his attitude, and this caused him to commit other crimes, and one of them led him to death.
Second, because he is a twin, Ace knows that many people can not look at him without seeing his brother's sins, which distract many people.
But one person treated Ace differently, nice, for the first time.
Barbara was delighted by the biker bad boy looking she met. She has just divorced from a seven-year marriage in which husband, now her ex, betrayed her repeatedly.
Barbara wants enjoy her life, to do things she has never done before, and what would be more different than having a fling with a biker?
But not everything would be easy.
Ace knew well Dr. David Reynolds (her ex) and what he was capable of.
Could a relationship that began without a prospect of the future be more lasting and happy than her first planned wedding?
