Loving Lucas

2015

Perfect for fans of Abbi Glines and Monica Murphy, Violetta Rand’s explosive new Lies & Leather series kicks off with a red-hot motorcycle racer who rides hard and plays for keeps. Twenty-one-year-old Karlie Augustine is a survivor. She’s smart and tough, but she’s in too deep with a bad boyfriend who isn’t above breaking her spirit—or her body. Luckily, help arrives in the form of a leather-clad, motorcycle-riding hunk on the right side of the law. Lucas Lafontaine is pure muscle, a Corpus Christi cop who ignites something primal deep within Karlie. And when he offers her room and board in exchange for housekeeping, she finally starts to feel safe again. As their arrangement turns deliciously decadent, Lucas gets hooked on Karlie’s killer body and fighting spirit. He wants to heal the pain he sees behind her eyes, but to protect her he needs to keep her close, especially now that her psycho ex won’t take a hint. Even as Lucas fights his own battle for custody of his young son, he knows that what he’s found with Karlie is real—and that he’d do anything to protect the woman he wants to take to the finish line.

Winning Mason

2016

In Violetta Rand’s exhilarating new Lies & Leather novel—perfect for readers of Abbi Glines and Monica Murphy—a no-nonsense cop and a sexy young motorcycle racer find themselves on a collision course with seduction. Jenna Baxter lives to race. It’s her escape from the pressures of college and memories of a past she’d rather forget. Nothing revs her up like straddling a powerful engine and throwing caution to the wind—nothing, except for super-cop Mason Percy. In her most tantalizing fantasies, she gets him out of those skintight riding leathers, but in real life, Mason leaves her completely tongue-tied . . . until a few celebratory birthday drinks give her the courage to act before she misses her chance. Mason can’t deny being tempted by Jenna. She’s got dangerous curves, and when she makes the first move, he’s more than willing to lean into them. Who is he to turn down a beautiful girl, anyway? The only catch is, Mason might be leaving Texas for a new business venture. While he couldn’t ask for a sexier farewell fling than Jenna, their scorching one-night stand just isn’t enough. Mason wants Jenna in his bed every night. Now the challenge will be winning her heart without giving up on his dreams.
