ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 26, 2018

Chase Fury, the VP of the Savage Kings MC has dealt with his fair share of tragedy over the years. He never wanted the responsibility that comes with being at the head of the table, preferring to leave that to his brother, Torin. But after an unexpected attack on the Kings sends his brothers on a path of vengeance, Chase will have no choice but to take on the burden of being the man in charge.

Reporter Sasha Sheridan has steered clear of any and all bad boy bikers wearing the bearded skull for the last ten years. While investigating a story, she suddenly finds herself back in the cross-hairs of the Savage Kings. Uncovering the secrets that the club’s president is trying to keep hidden may very well put her life in danger. She may be able to handle the threat, but she can’t escape the man who broke her heart.

Chase hasn’t forgiven himself for hurting Sasha and causing her an unbelievable amount of pain. He still wears her name on his chest, a reminder of the night that he wrecked his bike and everything the two of them had together. Now, with secrets, lies, bloodshed, and violence causing chaos in the club, Chase is determined to use his second chance with Sasha to keep her safe. He never imagined that the best way to do that would be to get her as far away from him and the MC as possible

REVIEW: CHASE is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult SAVAGE KINGS MC erotic, MC, romance series co-authored by Lane Hart and DB West. This is twenty-seven year old Savage Kings vice president Chase Fury, and reporter Sasha Sheridan’s story line. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s PLAYING DIRTY series.

NOTE: Due to the story line content, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person points of view (Chase and Sasha) CHASE follows the second chance romance between Savage Kings vice president Chase Fury, and reporter Sasha Sheridan. Ten years earlier, high school sweethearts Chase Fury and Sasha Sheridan were the victims of a drunk-driving accident that resulted in months of recovery for our leading heroine but a recovery without the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day wherein a more matured, and hardened Chase Fury must face his past, the woman who blamed him when everything went wrong, but a woman he hasn’t stopped loving for close to ten years. What ensues is the quick, rebuilding relationship between Chase and Sasha, and the fall-out as the Savage Kings MC is targeted by Hector Cruz and the local drug cartel leaving heart breaking death, betrayal and vengeance in its wake.

Sasha Sheridan never knew the truth that destroyed her relationship with Chase Fury. Ten years earlier, facing a long recovery without the man that she loved forced our heroine to move on with her life, a path towards journalism and the respect she deserved. Chase Fury is a sexy, bearded and tattooed biker who has spent the last decade angry at the world but a decade spent growing within the ranks of the Savage Kings MC.

The relationship between Chase and Sasha is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people torn apart by secrets and lies but a romance that is quick to restart once the ghosts from the past have been exorcised and pushed aside. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and provocative.

We are introduced to a large number of colorful secondary and supporting characters including the members of the Savage Kings MC: Chase’s brother and club president Torin Fury, his wife Kennedy, and their step-sister Jade; Chase’s best friend and right hand man Abe, and his brother, tattoo artist Gabriel; club members Turtle ; MC secretary Sax, treasurer Dalton, tech guy Reece, Sergeant in Arms War, Cooper, Fast Eddie, enforcer Miles, and Sergeant Barnes. A cameo appearance by Kennedy’s sister Kelsey and the two men in her life (Eligible Receivers-Playing Dirty #4) tie the two series together. The requisite evil has many faces including meth kingpin Hector Cruz.

The world building focuses on the rekindling relationship between Chase and Sasha, as well as the friendships, strengths and failings of the Savage Kings MC. There is a war on the horizon; retribution and revenge at the forefront-a battle that will see many more loss of lives.

CHASE is a character driven, dramatic and heart breaking story line of loyalty, misunderstanding, forgiveness, betrayal and revenge. The premise is raw, realistic, gripping and tragic; the romance is compelling and seductive; the characters are sassy, charismatic and spirited.
