Ignition

2015

When you're this close to the redline, there's no room for error— —or second chances. A sought after car thief for hire, Colt will do anything for a high—anything for the deafening rush of blood and chemicals that tames the ongoing anarchy in his mind. Fast cars, pain, alcohol, women... his vices come in many flavors, but one woman tempts him closer to the line he can never come back from. She'll be his hardest theft yet—an action that will set the looming conflict with his brother on a new and violent path. Aubrey has two choices. The first she knows too well: the alluring businessman who entwined her in his deceptive plots. The second is a stranger. He makes his promises not with a silver tongue but with harsh, blunt observations that Aubrey can't ignore. Either way, she's caught between two brothers each seeking the other's downfall—and neither has a problem taking her down in the process. IGNITION is the first book in the dark romantic serial, The Redline Series.1. IGNITION2. TORQUE (May 2015)3. BRAKE (July 2015)4. EXHAUST (September 2015)5. CLUTCH (November 2015)

2015

In the dark underworld of Ashville, crime, deceit, and blackmail reign supreme. Everyone wants that little piece of leverage—that one small key to getting ahead. Aubrey would be happy—and lucky—to simply make it out alive. After falling in debt to one of the city's most dangerous men, she found herself caught in a dispute between two brothers who will do anything to see each other suffer. Aubrey knows she's only a pawn in their game and her only hope is to find some key of her own—a way to guarantee her own safety and the safety of her family. Colt has a long and sordid past with the criminal element. He knows how the game is played and has found himself on all sides more times than he cares to remember. Aubrey is his newest escape route, but their tentative alliance is doomed to crumble if Colt can't find a way to fulfill his end of the bargain with Devlin. How will Colt and Aubrey handle Devlin's newest threat? I never expected life to be easy, but this…. It’s no dream It’s no nightmare. It’s the reality of a girl who was determined to make it on her own. I shot for the moon, got fucked by gravity, and landed in the underworld of the city. Caught between two men—brothers—both equally handsome as they are dangerous. Sex, drugs, and alcohol are the only recognized currencies. Stealing and deceit aren’t just a way of life—they’re a survival skill. A requirement to make it through the next night alive. People say that looks can be deceiving, but what they fail to realize is that often, even the truth is deceiving. Devlin promised to help. Colt promised the truth. The only thing they really want is to see me suffer—each in his own demented way. If you’re looking for rainbows, butterflies, and happy endings coated in chocolate and caramel, turn back now! This is a work of serial fiction, so it will be released in distinct parts with no resolute ending until the end of the series.

Boundaries mean nothing when you’re living life at the Redline. A month ago, Aubrey’s biggest fear was losing her self and becoming another mindless puppet at Devlin’s strip club. But this time he stripped her of even more than her pride. He seared away her identity with drugs and spliced her body together with images of Colt’s long dead lover. Colt struggles to reconcile his past and present, falling back on old habits to cope. Will he risk losing everything for one more chance at revenge? Or throw in the towel and watch everything he’s worked for burn to the ground? Their fates are intrinsically bound together with the small spark that once ignited their souls as it continues to break them down until little remains in the smoke. There is no hell like the one inside your own head.
