Wrenched

2015

COMPLETED SERIES TO BE READ IN ORDER In the small town of Connard, Louisiana, evil hides in plain sight. WHISPER Stolen—I was a whisper. Freedom—it came with a price. I was a secret. I don’t even know my full name. Miss Catherine and Boxer changed my life. I've started to trust in humanity. That was until Edge walked into my life. Now I’m screwed. I’ve escaped one Hell’s bastard only to be wrenched back towards another. EDGE I thought I knew it all. Even a killer with no conscience can seek redemption. This mess is gonna get real bad before it gets better. Unfortunately, it's gonna take me time to realize my mistakes. It may have started off as a meet-cute, but it sure escalated to life or death. This is NOT your average love story. If you like an unpredictable series packed with twists and turns, then you should come meet Edge and Whisper, but be warned, this series is dark, gritty, and sexy. With a strong female lead and a fearless male lead who will stop at nothing, this love story—because it is indeed a love story wrapped up in a whole lot of action and suspense—will earn your time waiting for the HEA. Wrenched is only the beginning. There's a whole lot more story around the corner. Contains adult situations which may offend and graphic violence, but it is one hell of a fictional ride. Strap yourself in. For mature aged readers 18 +. This is not a stand-alone series.

Warped. Man, what a crazy ride this book is. I enjoy all of the authors work, but Warped really blew me away. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was just wanting to get through it as quickly as possible because I need to see what happens, but also wanted to savor it and make it last longer. It was so good. Emma really created a wonderfully twisted world that I can't get enough of! I am eager for more. ~Jen In Bookland The Hunt Is On. WHISPER I was never meant to be free. Evil has taken from me again. I’ve lost the two people I’ve grown to love because another of Hell’s bastards has staked his claim on me and stolen me away. What gives another human being the right to take another’s innocence and try to destroy their soul? EDGE We were never meant to meet. Our lives collided and spun out in different directions. Now it’s a race against time. Time she doesn’t have. This is on my head. I f\*cked up. What happens when a Soulless Bastards MC enforcer is on the hunt for the f\*ckers involved in taking the sweet and wild girl? No Mercy happens.

Emma James is the author of the completed Her Debt Owed (formerly: Hell's Bastard series), a jaw-dropping, highly addictive, unpredictable, sexy, and very twisted dark romance suspense/thriller series and also the much-loved Men of Ocean Beach series. Emma writes in multi-genre and loves to keep the reader guessing with all the twists and turns found in her stories. Always expect the unexpected. One consistent thing with her stories is love will always rise from the ashes. Marley, her black Labrador, is the inspiration for Bear in Men of Ocean Beach series. Morrison, the family pet rescue cat, who has many OCDs, will be grabbing some of the limelight in a future standalone because the dude rocks the 'tude. She likes Pina Coladas, but not getting caught in the rain. Emma takes regular zen breaks from her writing to listen to and stare at the ocean because you only live once, might as well stare at the sea when you can.

I am slowly but surely learning to manage my time more effectively and getting back to writing and connecting with everyone. I'm not completely there yet, but it is slowly coming together. Misled and Misappropriate have been updated with additional chapters and POVs from a couple more characters. Both books have about 30,000 more words and new covers. I have new covers for all the books in the series. Recently Misled placed first in the Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller category on Chick Lit Cafe. The paperback will also be included in an upcoming Reveal Book Box. While working on Reckless, I am also updating the text in the original series. About Reckless - It will be filled with death and destruction, as usual. However, I will admit to being slightly shocked myself at some of the turn of events taking place. I have restarted my newsletter with a new name, KatChats. Until the end of the year, I plan to send it out weekly because of all the news I have to share. After that, I will switch to monthly. I also have a new website. It should be online in a couple of days once the domain transfer completes. I also have a website dedicated to the Death Dwellers. It is still in its early stages, but it is live: https://deathdwellersmc.com. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please send them my way. Kathryn C. Kelly is a New Orleans native who has called southeast Texas home since 2005. She had intended to travel the world but always return to her beloved New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina had other plans. She is the mother of three beautiful daughters and the daughter of one gorgeous mother whose footsteps she followed in by becoming a writer. Kathryn is the former owner and editor of Inside Rose Rich Magazine. She and her mother have been published by Jove Books as Christine Holden. The books have long been out of print but they got the rights back to the five novels and have plans to re-release them soon. Kathryn is a cancer survivor. In 2010, she felt a small lump in her breast. In 2015, at the urging of her mother, she went in for her bi-yearly mammogram and was diagnosed with Stage 2b/3a HER2 positive breast cancer. On November 30, 2016, she rang the bell. During her treatment, she was also diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. In 2013, Christopher "Outlaw" Caldwell introduced himself to Kat in the most cliché way ever. He came to her in a dream. After the inauspicious meeting, he planted himself in her mind and the motherf...the gentleman hasn't left yet. In what was only supposed to be one book about the fictitious Death Dwellers MC, Outlaw has become a source of amusement, a well of frustration, and a bone of contention between Kat and one of her daughters. She is hard at work on Reckless, the book that will bridge the OGs with a new generation of Death Dwellers. Her work has been included in several anthologies and she is looking forward to other upcoming single title releases, including Savage Suit from the Cocky Hero Club World created by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. She is a former RWA member. She also served as Vice President for the SOLA chapter of RWA. She is a New Orleans Saints fan, but roots for the Texans, the Rockets, and the Coogs (U of H) as long as they aren't playing any Louisiana teams. She loves champagne and sparkling wine. One day, she will try Snoop's brand. She still loves Chivas Regal but had a chance to taste Sassenach Scotch. A #lifegoal is to one day buy herself an entire bottle and keep it all for herself. In her head, she is a biker babe with a Harley in her garage, waiting for her to hit the road. In reality, she has yet to hop on a bike and ride. She loves Cards Against Humanity, has very strong opinions that she keeps to herself, has to take her time to talk in public so nothing untoward pops out, and always strives to see the best in people and in life.
