ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 7 2019

I’m not a hero. I’m a bad dude who’s done bad things. And the sooner she understands that, the better off we’ll be.

I’ve just got out of prison and I’m running from my MC, so my step-sister’s best friend has agreed to drive me across the country.

Summer’s my ride. That’s all. But she captivates me, and I don’t have a damn clue why. She’s a distraction I can’t afford.

Is it because I’ve been told she’s forbidden?

Is it because she’s preppy and freakin’ beautiful, so not a part of my world?

With every mile of our trip, every spark of connection, she seems to inch closer to me. The temptation is too much to resist.

But she has no idea just how dangerous life would be with me. I broke club rules. I betrayed my brothers to save a woman’s life. If the Red Dragons find us we’ll be in trouble. And if I give into my desires, she’ll be in deeper than she realises…

REVIEW: HER WILD RIDE is the first instalment in Heather Van Fleet’s contemporary, adult RED DRAGON MC erotic, romance series focusing on the members of the Red Dragon MC. This is twenty-four year old, elementary school teacher Summer Parks, and twenty-seven year old, MC member Niyol ‘Hawk’ Lattimore’s story line.

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

Told for dual first person perspectives (Niyol and Summer) HER WILD RIDE follows in the aftermath of Niyol Lattimore’s release from prison for a crime he did not commit. A letter warning him never to return to his beloved Red Dragon MC meant Niyol needed a quick escape from the people and Club he loved. Enter Summer Parks, Niyol’s step-sister Emily’s best friend, and the woman with whom Niyol will fall in love. What ensues is the cross-country journey from Illinois to California, between Niyol and Summer, and the potential fall-out as Niyol’s past comes seeking revenge using Summer as a pawn in the process.

Niyol Lattimore despises the man that set him up, and took him down but vengeance came with a cost, a cost that forced Niyol on the run. Never expecting to fall for the feisty beauty, Niyol struggles between head and heart knowing his past is all but a step behind as rogue bikers have been sent to destroy his life. Summer Parks needs a little R&R since finding her fiancé in the arms of another woman. Driving Niyol to the West Coast gave Summer an opportunity to make new friends but Niyol wants nothing to do with the talkative and definitely out of his league elementary school teacher.

The relationship between Niyol and Summer begins as an arrangement between Summer and Niyol’s sister Emily. Summer needs a break from her life back home, and Niyol is desperate to get out of town in spite of loving the MC life. Forced together on the road, it’s fate and circumstance that draws our couple together. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to a large and colorful ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Niyol’s step-mother Lisa, step-sister Emily, and his father Charles Lattimore ; MC members Flick, Slade, and Archer; Niyol’s former girlfriend Maya; and Summer’s grandparents Peaches and Paul.

HER WILD RIDE is a story of betrayal, vengeance, family and love. The premise is engaging and intriguing; the characters are energetic and broken; the romance is intense and hot. HER WILD RIDE is not as gritty or raw as some other MC story lines as most of the story focused on Niyol and Summer’s cross-country journey
