ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 18, 2025

DASH

The war brewing within my club is about to blow wide open, and when our enemies use the chaos to come after me, they make one hell of a mistake.

They target my woman.

Dayna Harrington is everything I should avoid—loud, sharp-tongued, and dragging more baggage than an airport terminal. I gave up on love a long time ago, until she wrecked every wall I’ve built.

One night. No strings.

That’s all it was supposed to be.

But now she’s pregnant, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family.

DAYNA

I don’t do relationships. I certainly don’t do them with bikers who look like bad decisions wrapped in sin. Dash thinks he can save me, but he doesn’t realise there’s no such thing as a happy ending for someone like me.

One night. That’s all it should have been.

But Dash isn’t a man who lets you go once he’s claimed you, and for the first time, I start to believe I could have more.

Until I’m staring down at two pink lines that change everything.

REVIEW: DASH is the third instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary , adult UNTAMED SONS MC: BIRMINGHAM erotic, MC romance series set in the author’s multi interconnected Untamed Sons MC world. This is Rhys ‘Dash’ Maddox, and nineteen year old Dayna Harrington’s story line. DASH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Dash and Dayna) DASH follows several paths including the dysfunctional relationship between Dayna Harrington and her mother Evelyn; Dash and Dayna’s relationship as Dayna must learn to trust that she is worthy, and the impending war within the Untamed Sons MC: Birmingham-someone is taking aim at the brotherhood but the man in charge refuses to protect the people he had sworn to serve.Dayna Harrington is struggling on her own but the alternative is a life from which she walked away. Falling for Rhys ‘Dash’ Maddox meant an internal battle to keep her independence but all that changed when she discovered she was pregnant, and that man with whom she was falling in love, had a target painted on his back.

The world building follows Dash and the Untamed Sons MC, as they struggle with a fight for power and control, a fight that will pull Dash into a fight for his life, as he struggles to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. Meanwhile, Dayna’s battle to free herself from her mother’s control, begins to spiral, as Evelyn Harrington strikes back, forcing our couple to take a stand.

The relationship between Dayna and Dash begins as a one-night stand but Dash is hoping for something more, and Dayna struggles to accept that Dash is willing to accept her as damaged as she feels. As their relationship continues to grow, Dayna quickly discovers that family is not necessarily blood, but the people who accept you for who you are. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are familiar and energetic including the return of Mace and Maylie (Mace #1), Ivy and Riot (Riot #2), SAA Nicky, King, Blade, Diesel, Crank and Grub, as well as the introduction of Dayna’s mother Evelyn Harrington.

DASH is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are desperate and determined.
