And that’s especially true if they aren’t in love with you.
But when I was eighteen years old, I did it anyway.
Until Tiberius “Vex” Williams did the unthinkable and shattered my heart, costing me everything.
But now I’m back in New Jersey with an ailing mother and an unknown stalker.
The last thing I need is a grumpy biker determined to make sense of our past.

Vex
There are many rumors about how I became an Outlaw, but I became one to save my best friend’s life after she threatened to hack the MC.
And she hated me for it, leaving New Jersey in a blur of words time hasn’t healed.

The thought I’ll find Calista’s digital fingerprint everywhere terrifies me.
Especially given this time around, it’s not just our hearts but our lives at stake.

REVIEW:THE DEALS WE MAKE is the ninth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty-three year old cyber security specialist and owner Calista Moray, and Iron Outlaws MC IT specialist Tiberius ‘Vex’ Williams’ story line. THE DEALS WE MAKE 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 (Ves and Calista) THE DEALS WE MAKE follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Tiberius ‘Vex’ Williams and Calista Moray were childhood friends and neighbors; computer nerds and hackers until the day Calista found herself on the receiving end of threats, blaming our hero for what was to come. Fast forward fifteen years, Calista is now the CEO of her own cybersecurity firm, and has returned home to New Jersey to garner a security contract with a local company but her return home comes with too many memories of the past, and the reality of her mother’s mental decline. Accepting help from Tiberius threatens Calista’s need for privacy and independence but Calista has a stalker, and Tiberius is determined to protect the woman he loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Tiberius aka Vex, and Calista, and the potential fall-out as Calista’s time in New Jersey comes to a close.

The world building follows several interconnected pathways including the rebuilding relationship between Vex and Calista; Calista’s mother’s mental decline; Vex and Calista’s history; her reasons for running; Vex’s introduction to the Iron Outlaws MC ,and more than one potential stalker for our story line couple.

The relationship between Vex and Calista is one of second chances. A friends to enemies to frenemies to lovers in which Calista struggles to forgive the man she blames for the sins of the past, and ultimately her love for the man who continues to control her heart. Vex never knew the reason or the truth behind Calista’s need to run but rekindling their relationship means a second chance with the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and impassioned including Shibari rope play.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story line couples. The next generation continues to grow with pregnancy and births, marriages and love. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE DEALS WE MAKE is a story of betrayal, obsession and revenge; secrets and lies, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the characters are brooding, broken, and haunted; the romance is spicy and sensitive.

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.

•••

REVIEW:THE LOVES WE LOST is the sixth instalment in Scarlett Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, romance series. This is Iron Outlaws enforcer Miles ‘Bates’ Graydon, and MC romance author Viola Mills’ story line. THE LOVES WE LOST 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 (Miles and Viola) with a final chapter from Halo, THE LOVES WE LOST follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Approximately six years earlier, Viola struggled with Miles’ need and participation with the MC lifestyle, and walked away from the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day, Miles aka Bates will discover that Viola is now writing steamy MC romance novels, using his last name as part of her author persona. Desperate to confront the woman who broke his heart, Bates will soon discover that the life of the MC is about to threaten the life of the woman he still loves, and the daughter he knew nothing about. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Viola and Miles, and the potential fall-out when the criminal organization known as the Righteous Brotherhood takes aim at the Iron Outlaws MC, and the family Miles is so desperate to reclaim as his own.

The world building focuses on the war between the MC and the Righteous Brotherhood, who want to control the docks and the import of drugs. Seizing whatever opportunity they can to stop the organization, the MC will discover that their actions have consequences, and Viola and her daughter are next in line.

The relationship between Viola and Bates aka Miles is one of second chances: a rekindling relationship in which Viola continues to struggles with the MC lifestyle, a danger that will become front and center for her and her daughter. Miles is hoping for a second chance to start over, to know his daughter but threats from the outside take aim at our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting couples and characters, many of whom we have met in the previous story line. We are introduced to three new prospects, as well as Viola and Miles’ daughter Avery.

THE LOVES WE LOST is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are determined, dynamic and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2023

Catalina
As the daughter of a Los Reyes motorcycle club vice president and an assassin, I understand the risks of this life. Yet the club won’t tell me why my father went on a ride to New Jersey and never came home. So the Iron Outlaw I just kidnapped and tied to a chair is going to tell me instead. Except nothing I do to this man scares him. His strength and courage match my own. But this is a battle only one of us can win.

Niro
Catalina wants answers I can’t give her, but I’m intrigued by this woman. Because I buried every Los Reyes club member that day, and her father wasn’t one of them. I need to stay alive long enough for my club to find me. But the more time I spend with Catalina, the more I want to help this leather-clad assassin who challenges my view that I’m better off alone. Even if helping her keep her vows of revenge could kill us both.

••••••

REVIEW: THE VOWS WE KEEP is the fifth instalment in S. Cole’s (Scarlett Cole) contemporary adult IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is twenty-seven year old, club treasurer Colton ‘Niro’ Brewer and twenty-five year old, contract specialist Catalina Flores’s story line. THE VOWS WE KEEP 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 (Niro and Catalina) THE VOWS WE KEEP follows in the wake of the suspected murder of Catalina’s father. Catalina’s father was the vice-president of the Los Reyes MC, and Catalina suspects the Iron Outlaws MC were responsible for her father’s demise. Believing she had kidnapped King aka the Iron Outlaws President, Catalina holds Niro prisoner, struggling to get the information about her missing father. Upon the rescue by his brothers, Niro brings Catalina back to the Iron Outlaws MC, where a relationship will ensue, and a negotiation to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. As Cat and Niro’s relationship begins to grow, the members of the Iron Outlaws MC struggle to trust the woman who is the daughter of, and assassin for the Los Reyes MC. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Cat and Niro, and the potential fall-out as Cat’s time with the Outlaws is perceived as a betrayal threatening her sense of peace going forward.

The world building focuses on the Iron Outlaws MC relationships, and their struggle with Niro, and the woman he loves. Niro has longed battled issues of mental and emotional challenges, and with it, Niro often alienates the people he loves the most. As Cat and Niro begin their dance around one another, Cat is desperate to avenge her father, a desperation that must remain in check as the MC faces a war with someone else.

The relationship between Cat and Niro begins as an abduction in which Cat is desperate to uncover the truth about what happened to her father. Niro knows Cat’s father was not one of their targeted threats but someone else would lay claim to destroying Cat’s heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful and dynamic secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we have met in the previous instalments including Gwen and Clutch, Iris and Spark, Saint and Briar, King and Rae, Bates, Switch and Wrinkle, as well as the introduction of Cat’s friend Nava. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE VOWS WE KEEP is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and mayhem, mistrust and acceptance, forgiveness and love. The premise is gritty, dramatic and intense; the romance is passionate; the characters are desperation and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 31, 2023

Rae
When Uther “King” Hills, president of the Iron Outlaws MC, shows up at my home, I know it’s for one thing.
Revenge.
My life for my brother’s, a traitor to the club.
My sacrifice to ensure his loyalty.
But I know a thing or two about tragic kings.
They never win.
What I didn’t know was how they can steal your heart in the process of trying.

King
Rae Miller is my enemy’s little sister.
And I intend to ruin her before I toss her back at her brother’s feet.
Even as my actions tear my club apart.
Except this Shakespeare-quoting fire-cracker has me seeing ghosts.
I don’t scare her. She outwits me at every turn and has a body I can’t get enough of.
The fact I want to kill every person who ever hurt her is irrelevant.

Only, when she’s at risk because of me, I pray the bonds I’ve broken can mend themselves. Because without my club, we don’t have a hope of surviving.

•••••

REVIEW:THE BONDS WE BREAK is the fourth instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC dark,erotic, MC romance series. This is club president Uther ‘King’ Hills, and therapist Rae Miller’s story line. THE BONDS WE BREAK can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book three THE LIES WE TELL. Rae is Ryker ‘Saint’ Miller’s sister.

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

IMPORTANT: If you have not read THE LIES WE TELL there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (King and Rae) THE BONDS WE BREAK picks up after /crosses over with some of the events of THE LIES WE TELL. Ryker ‘Saint’ Miller has been labelled a betrayer, a traitor to the Iron Outlaws MC, and he is about suffer for who he was, and what he did but King is not satisfied with the outcome, the vote by his brothers, and his inability to get the revenge he so desperately needs so he sets his sights on Saint’s sister Rae Miller, the woman with whom King will fall in love. All does not go according to plan when Rae, with her ability to reason with and understand the mind of a broken man, acquiesces to King’s demands, demands that push our couple together but King does not want to pull Rae into the life of the club, and walks away from the woman he loves. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between King and Rae, and the potential fall-out when the club is targeted, and King is caught in the line of fire.

The world building continues to focus on the impending war between the Iron Outlaws MC and the Righteous Brotherhood, a group who have been targeting the club ol’ ladies, and the president of the Iron Outlaws MC. King, along with several members of the MC, want their proverbial pound of flesh but a vote against sends King into a spiral, demanding his vengeance from our story line heroine.

The relationship between King and Rae begins acrimoniously when King kidnaps Rae with the intent of blackmail and revenge. King wants to hurt Saint by using his sister but King quickly is outfoxed and emotionally overpowered by our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the previous story line couples: Saint and Briar, Gwen and Clutch, Iris and Spark; established couple Tessa And Track, as well as Nico, Halo and Switch. Not everyone is happy with the decision to ‘save’ Ryker Miller, and allegiances will be divided amongst the once-tight brothers. Nico’s story line is next.

THE BONDS WE BREAK is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and anger, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is heart breaking, dark, and tragic; the romance is twisted and dramatic; the characters are broken, desperate and edgy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 16, 2023

Iris:
As a woman born into an Irish crime family, I’m expendable.
It’s why I’ve extricated myself from that life.
Only now, I’m wrapped up in another one when I witness the death of the president of a motorcycle outlaw club.
And the club’s sergeant at arms has declared himself as my protector… Or stalker.
And I can’t decide if he terrifies or excites me.

Spark:
Too many people have died on my watch in Kabul and New Jersey.
My conscience can’t carry the weight of one more. Especially a pretty young thing with eyes that pierce my truths.
But her family is our enemy. One of many.
And she hates the things I pride myself in standing for.
Until she needs me to play her family’s deadly game. A game to ruin us all.

•••••••

REVIEW: THE GAMES WE PLAY is the second instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC dark, erotic, MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Iron Outlaws MC. This is thirty-five year old, former US Marine and Iron Outlaws Sargent at Arms Tyler ‘Spark’ Hyatt, and twenty-seven year old kindergarten teacher Iris O’Connor’s story line. THE GAMES WE PLAY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of THE GAMES WE PLAY cross over with, and run parallel to the events of book one THE SINS WE HIDE.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Spark and Iris) THE GAMES WE PLAY follows in the aftermath of the murder of Arthur ‘Camelot’ Hill, the president of the Iron Outlaws MC. Iris O’Connor is the only witness to the hit and run that took the life of Arthur Hill, and Spark and Clutch have been sent to get as much information from our heroine as possible but a drive-by shooting comes close to ending Iris’ life, forcing Spark to become guardian and protector of a woman connected to the powerful Irish Crime Family. In the face of his attraction to Iris, and her affiliation with the Irish mob, the new club president Uther ‘King’ Hills declares Iris off limits but Spark wants to claim Iris for himself. All does not go according to plan when Sparks’ relationship with Iris begins to cause trouble for everyone involved but none more so than Iris when she is forced to do something that could end her relationship and possibly her life. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Iris and Spark, and the fall-out as Iris and several women are targeted by a human trafficking ring, and the Irish Mob may be indirectly involved.

Iris O’Connor wants nothing to do with her Irish Crime family but having lost her parents at an early age, Iris and her brothers were raised by her uncle, an uncle who’s in charge of everything and everyone. Refusing to act upon her uncle’s demands, Iris quickly discovers that breaking from the family is forbidden, and lives are threatened should she walk away. Tyler’ Spark’ Hyatt is a US vet having served with the Marines in a disastrous mission. Suffering with ongoing PTSD, Spark finds his heart and his home with our story line heroine but no amount of love can keep the demons at bay. When Iris is targeted, Spark struggles with the possibility of losing the woman he loves, a woman who carries his heart and his soul but betrayal lines the periphery of his relationship with Iris, and forgiveness may be what the doctor has ordered.

The relationship between Iris and Spark is one of immediate attraction but Iris knows that to get involved with the local MC is tantamount to betrayal within the Irish Mob. Spark has been warned against getting involved with our story line heroine could mean expulsion from the MC he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and aggressive.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Iron Outlaws MC: Clutch and Gwen (The Sins We Hide 1), including club president Uther ‘King’ Hill, treasurer Niro, IT specialist Vex, Track and Tessa, Halo, Switch, club priest Saint; Iris’s brothers Michael and Thomas, and their uncle, Irish mobster Cillian O’Ceallaigh. The requisite evil has many faces. Saint’s story is next.

THE GAMES WE PLAY is a story of power and control, betrayal and retribution, family and relationships, authority and command, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is riveting, dramatic and gripping; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are determined, desperate and dynamic.

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.

•••••

REVIEW:THE SINS WE HIDE is the first instalment in S. Cole’s contemporary adult, IRON OUTLAWS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Iron Outlaws MC Vice President Landon ‘Clutch’ Bailey, and twenty three year old, Gwen Hills’ story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Clutch and Gwen) THE SINS WE HIDE follows in the aftermath of the hit and run death of Arthur ‘Camelot’ Hill, the president of the Iron Outlaws MC. Ten years earlier Gwen and her mother took off in the middle of the night, and entered into the witness protection program after having ‘ratted out’ a member of the Iron Outlaws MC. Fast forward to present day, Gwen’s mother has been murdered, her father dead in a hit and run, and our heroine recovering from a bullet wound, herself. Needing help from her twin brother and new president of the MC, Uther ‘King’ Hill, Gwen returns to the town and MC where everything went down. Considered to be an enemy of the MC, Gwen will come face to face with the man she had always loved, a man who blames her and her mother for all that went wrong but someone has targeted Gwen in a game of cat and mouse, a game now involving the Cartel, and the Irish mob. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Landon and Gwen, and the potential fall-out as Landon’s relationship with Gwen threatens his position in the MC, as the club suspect a mole deep in their depths.

Landon aka Clutch struggles with his attraction to his best friend’s and president’s twin sister Gwen. Gwen is off limits but Gwen has been the only woman to hold his heart.Knowing Gwen has been targeted for who she is, Clutch comes to a decision between his place in the MC and the woman he loves.

The relationship between Gwen and Landon is one of second chances. Ten years earlier Gwen’s life was torn apart, separated from her twin brother and her father, never able to reconnect with the father she loved but her reappearance brings back too many memories of what happened and why, placing Gwen at odds with her brother and the man with whom she had fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including club president Uther ‘King’ Hill, SAA Spark, treasurer Niro, IT specialist Vex, Track and Tessa, Halo, Switch, club priest Saint; club girls Skylar and Suze; Landon’s father Bill; Irish mobster Cillian O Ceallaigh, his niece Iris. Iris and Spark’s story line is next.

THE SINS WE HIDE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and obsession, family and betrayal, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, engaging and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are determined, desperate and energetic.
