ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 21, 2023

He was everything she didn’t want and exactly what she needed.

She refuses to date him.

The daughter of the infamous Rake from the Wind Dragons MC, lawyer Natalie Ward knows all too well the problems that come with getting involved with a biker. That’s not for her—she’ll stick to suits over leather. And nothing will change her mind, especially not a sexy, built-like-a-Greek-god biker that rides for the Knights of Fury, another MC.

He loves a challenge.

Atlas is on a manhunt to find a rival gang leader and the last thing he needs is a distraction. But when he runs into Natalie at a bar with all her strength and beauty wrapped in a power suit, he can’t look away. He wants to forget her and running into her at every corner in town doesn’t make it easier. Being with her is impossible, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.

Never…say never.

When Atlas helps her get out of a difficult situation, Natalie can no longer ignore their growing attraction. But when a common enemy of both their clubs becomes a client at her law firm, she finds herself pulled into the very world she’s sought to avoid…

REVIEW: ANSWERING ATLAS is the third instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary adult KNIGHTS AND DRAGONS MC romance series-the combination of the author’s WIND DRAGONS MC , KNIGHTS OF FURY MC and FAST AND FURY series. This is attorney Natalie Ward, and Knights of Fury member Atlas’ story line. ANSWERING ATLAS can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order. Natalie is the daughter of Rake and Bailey (Rake’s Redemption/Wind Dragon 5), and sister of Cara (Decker’s Dilemma /Knights and Dragons 1) .

NOTE: The KNIGHTS AND DRAGONS MC focuses on two MCs -The Wind Dragons and the Knights of Fury, therefore many of the current scenarios and situations cross over with both series, as well as the author’s Fast and Fury series.Atlas and his twin brother Aries own and work for Fast and Fury.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Atlas and Natalie) ANSWERING ATLAS continues to focus on the search the former leader of the Forgotten Children aka FC, a man who is determined to take down the Wind Dragons MC for the death of his only son. Natalie Ward is an attorney, the daughter of Wind Dragon MC’s Rake and Bailey, and as such our heroine struggles to keep her distance from the criminal element of her blood and adopted families but meeting Atlas pulls Natalie into the life from which she wanted nothing to do, a life that is about to threaten the people she loves, and destroy the heart of the man with whom she trying to avoid. Atlas and his ‘brothers’ never thought they would work together with the Wind Dragons MC but a common enemy has targeted both MCs in his effort to take down the man he blames for killing his son but no one ever expected a possible betrayal from within, a betrayal that threatens everyone involved. Natalie struggles with her attraction to our story line hero, an attraction to a man whose lifestyle she is no longer involved, and her career as a defence attorney is about to cross an invisible line with both MCs. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Natalie and Atlas, and the fall-out as death and destruction not only break Atlas, the Knights of Fury but threaten the destruction of the Wind Dragons MC as well.

The relationship between Atlas and Natalie begins acrimoniously, and is tempestuous at best. Natalie comes across as a snob; too good for the likes of the MC and Atlas, and ultimately his brother Aries, but a snobbery based in experience and love. Her attitude pushes all of Atlas’ proverbial buttons until the truth reveals a blood connection to the Wind Dragons MC, and the lifestyle she has lived most of her life. Atlas‘ brother Aries is the first to ‘hit on’ our story line heroine but as identical twins, Natalie had no idea she was dealing with a different person. Atlas knew Natalie was the woman that called to his heart but the death of two members of the Knights of Fury MC threaten to destroy our hero, breaking both Atlas and Natalie’s heart and soul in the process. The $ex scenes are passionate but mostly implied.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters from all three interconnected series-The Wind Dragons MC, Knights of Fury MC, and the Fast and Fury auto body shop.The imminent break down of the Wind Dragons MC see the possibility of merging with the Knights of Fury, and the murder of two of their own, threatens the stability of everyone involved.

ANSWERING ATLAS is the story of betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, love and loss, acceptance and moving on. The fast paced premise is heart breaking and intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 26, 2022

Life is about choices. He had a history of making bad ones.

Ready for a New Start

United with her newly discovered half sister, Constance Wilder finally has a family. She should be happy, but she’s not. Instead, she’s even lonelier, which is why a one-night stand with a sexy biker is just what she needs. A few hours of wild sex won’t just bring her pleasure—it will help her forget.

A Series of Bad Choices

Rhett did what was necessary to step into his role as leader of the Wind Dragons MC, which included cutting ties with the woman he loved. He wouldn’t change it, but that doesn’t make it easier. Thankfully, the beautiful woman across the bar is a welcome distraction. He never expected her to light a spark inside him, leaving him wanting more.

Destined for Disaster

Constance falls hard for Rhett. Not only is she pretty sure he’s her soul mate, but he’s the one person she has connected to in a long time. But when it is revealed that Rhett is her sister’s ex, Constance is faced with losing her newly found family, making happily-ever-after seem damn near impossible.

REVIEW:RHETT REDEEMED is the second instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult KNIGHTS & DRAGONS MC erotic, MC romance series-a blending of the author’s KNIGHTS OF FURY and WIND DRAGONS MC series. This is the soon to be president of the Wind Dragons MC Rhett Madden , and Constance ‘Con’ Wilder’s story line. Con is Cara’s half-sister (Decker’s Dilemma 1) , and Rhett is the son of Talon and Tia (Wild Ride/Wind Dragons 4.5). RHETT REDEEMED can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading book one DECKER’S DILEMMA. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s FAST AND FURY series.

Note: The events of RHETT REDEEMED take place approximately one year after the events of book one DECKER’S DILEMMA

Told from dual first person perspectives (Con and Rhett) RHETT REDEEMED follows the building romance and relationship between soon to be president of the Wind Dragons MC Rhett Madden , and Constance ‘Con’ Wilder. Approximately one year earlier Rhett broke the heart of his best friend and lover Cara Ward, pushing her into the arms of former cop Seth Decker. Cara and Rhett have made amends but Rhett often found himself on the outside looking in, lonely for female companionship until a one-night stand with Constance aka Con Wilder. A few weeks would pass as Con and Rhett drifted in and out of one another’s life until Rhett was ready to introduce Con to his MC family. To everyone’s shock including Rhett and Con, they would discover that Constance Wilder is Rhett’s ex-girlfriend Cara’s half-sister, a sister she shared with their absentee father. Rhett and Con would once again become persona non-grata, and any building relationship is destroyed by Con’s connection to Cara, and Con’s refusal to cross an invisible line from whence there is no going back. What ensues is the building but struggling relationship between Con and Rhett, and the potential fall-out as our couple continue to battle between head and heart knowing Rhett had unknowingly fallen for two sisters, and a potential war with Forgotten Children aka FC Gang targets Constance in a game of revenge.

The relationship between Con and Rhett begins as a one night stand that is slow to develop in the face of no information, and Con’s move to another job working for the Fast And Fury Custom Garage. Rhett often finds himself on the outside since his break up with Cara, and the ensuing aftermath and vitriol from family and friends but Rhett never expected to fall for Constance Wilder, a woman who had just found her own family, and was afraid to lose it all. As the relationship between Con and Rhett goes from hot to cold to hot once again, a surprise awaits our couple, a surprise that places Con in the direct line of target. 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 secondary and supporting characters including several members from the Knights of Fury and Wind Dragons MC ;Seth Decker and Constance’s sister Cara; Cara’s best friend Clover Black and her significant other Felix Banks (Fallen Princess/Wind Dragons MC 7), as well as Cameron Davies, and Bronte Pierce (Fast and Fury Series).

RHETT REDEEMED is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and hurt, family, friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is captivating, engaging and dramatic; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are hurting, energetic and charismatic.
