BLURB:

Sophia
No one knows why I crashed at high-speed driving a car that wasn’t mine.
Except when I woke up in hospital, I had life-changing injuries and no memories at all.
Amnesia makes you a ghost in your own life.
I’m here, but not. I have a family whose names I keep forgetting and an apartment I don’t remember choosing.
But I’m alive, and determined to make the most of this second chance.
Which is why when the grumpy biker arrives at the rehabilitation unit, I’m determined to become his friend. Until the family I’m beginning to trust betray me in the worst possible way.
And I can’t help but wonder if escaping what they had planned for me was the very reason I ran.

Switch
Getting devastatingly injured while saving the life of a brother in the Iron Outlaws Motorcycle Club was a trade-off I’d make again in a heartbeat.
Even if I’m now a changed man with permanent damage who can’t remember the last decade of their life.
Life is uncertain and holds little joy.
Until I meet a bundle of sunshine in rehab who has no memories at all.
Seeing her every day makes life better.
But then I overhear her brothers plotting something terrible, so awful, that it requires me to become the feared biker I once was to help her.
I believe in fate. That the two of us meeting like this was no accident.
Now, I need to believe in myself to get the two of us through this alive.

REVIEW:THE FATES WE TAME is the eighth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC dark erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty year old, MC medic Theo ‘Switch Reavis, and twenty-five year Mafia princess old Sophia Viscuso’s story line. THE FATES WE TAME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sophia and Switch) THE FATES WE TAME follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Sophia Viscuso is in recovery in the wake of a devastating car accident that left her scarred both inside and out. Meeting fellow patient and accident survivor Theo Reavis give Sophia pause as they both struggle with physical disabilities and ongoing amnesia in their accident fall-out. Theo aka Switch has lost ten years of his life, with no memory of what happened or why; and Sophia struggles with secrets and lies her family refuses to reveal but a conversation between Sophia’s brothers sends our heroine on the run wherein she and Switch jump into marriage to protect our story line heroine. What ensues is the building relationship between Switch and Sophia, and the potential fall-out as the power of the Cosa Nostra takes aim at the Iron Outlaws MC.

The world building follows several paths including the mutually and equal recovery of our story line couple. Sophia feels trapped in the rehab facility against her will, as Switch continues to struggle with ten missing years, and the physical disabilities that prevent him from moving on.As our couple begin to search for the truth, threats of a different nature reveal a dark side to living the life of a Mafia princess.

The relationship between Sophia and Theo begins in recovery. Neither one remembers their past, and in doing so, both hope to make memories going forward but danger will begin to descend upon our story line heroine, and Theo is desperate to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense-Theo believes he is a bit of a masochist in bed.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the previous instalments including several members of the Iron Outaws MC . We are introduced to Sophia’s brothers Alessio, Leo and Luca, as well as their father Vincenzo Viscuso. The requisite evil has many faces. Vex’s story line is next.

THE FATES WE TAME is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family values, desperation and obsession, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is intriguing, dark, dramatic and impassioned; the romance is insta-lust and passionate; the characters are headstrong and determined.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.
