ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 10, 2020

Whenever Nash Kincaid looks in the mirror, he only sees a monster who ruins lives. Thanks to his involvement with the Dirty Aces MC, there’s so much blood on his hands he’ll never wash them clean again. Violence is just part of the outlaw lifestyle. That’s why he’s not all that surprised when he’s hit with divorce papers three years after his wife walked out on him.

The last thing Nash needs right now is a nosy new neighbor who refuses to leave him alone. If Lucy knew Nash’s dark secrets, he’s certain that she would run the other way rather than try her best to get into his bed. Thanks to a failed marriage, he knows he can never be the man Lucy needs him to be, not while he’s a member of the MC with a life sentence hanging over his head.

Lucy Stafford didn’t survive cancer and a cheating boyfriend just to give up on finding happiness. Her only plan for the future is to live each and every day to the fullest by helping others. Not even the grumpy biker who lives upstairs can bring her down, no matter how hard he tries. Lucy made a deal with the devil. So if she wants to stay out of trouble, she’ll have to get on Nash’s good side – if she can find it.

Nash convinces himself that the only thing he has in common with Lucy is a broken heart. He refuses to let himself fall for her, only to eventually hurt her or have her bail when his past crimes comes crashing down on him.

But Lucy has a few secrets of her own – secrets that she hopes will finally prove to Nash that she’s tougher than she looks.

REVIEW:NASH is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult DIRTY ACES MC erotic, romance series co-authored by Lane Hart and DB West. This is thirty-year old, club VP Nash Kincaid, and twenty-five year old computer hacker Lucy Stafford’s story line. NASH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. The Dirty Aces series is a spin-off from the author’s Savage Kings MC but you do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow the story.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucy and Nash) NASH follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-year old, club VP Nash Kincaid, and twenty-five year old computer hacker Lucy Stafford. Lucy Stafford didn’t know what to do when she found a drunk and belligerent biker on the roof of her building until finding his gun and a broken bottle of booze. Nash Kincaid has been MIA from the Dirty Aces MC for close to two weeks, drowning his sorrows in the bottom of a bottle, since being served with divorce papers but when he finds his nosy and pixie-life neighbor cleaning his apartment and serving him food, Nash quickly discovers there is more to Lucy than meets the eye. An upcoming wedding, and the probability of Nash’s subsequent arrest finds our couple ‘on the run’ where Nash will come face to face with his past. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Nash and Lucy, and the potential fall-out as sins of the past place a target on Nash’s back.

Lucy Stafford’s arrival in Carolina Beach is no accident but she isn’t about to tell Nash her darkest secrets. When the Dirty Aces MC president discovers the truth, Lucy finds herself ‘babysitting’ the man with whom she will fall in love. Nash Kincaid struggles with his impending divorce having never forgotten about the woman he thought he loved but the MC is our hero’s family, and the MC comes first in all matters of the heart.

The relationship between Nash and Lucy begins acrimoniously when Lucy is hired to ‘clean up’ Nash Kincaid but Lucy’s secrets are about to be exposed, and in this Lucy finds herself falling for a man who may still be in love with someone else. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Club president Malcolm Hyde and his significant other Naomi: Devlin Boyd, and Jetta James; club members Fiasco,Silas and Wirth. We are introduced to Nash’s ex Ellie, and Lucy’s ex Barry.

NASH is a story of family (both blood and other), relationships, acceptance and denial. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is captivating and steamy; the characters are broken but healing and strong.
