Title: Seeking Worthy Pursuits

Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense

Series: Alace Sweets book series, book #2

When the laws of men fail, the rules of Alace prevail.

Alace Sweets returns to the retribution arena as a different kind of contributor than before. Collaborating with hunters and working behind the scenes isn't hard, but it sure isn't easy, either.

Alace might have discovered her happily-ever-after in the life she’s building with her new husband Eric Ward, but that doesn't mean she's stopped serving her own brand of justice. Turns out, there are plenty more people who've come to believe in the rules of Alace, and slowly a solution comes clear. Maybe she can have it all.

With an earnest vow to be everything her hunters need Alace threw herself into the creation of a network with a far deeper reach than her former handler had ever hoped to build.

When a current gig is complicated by something unexpected and Eric's best friend Todd Worthson is involved, Alace has to pull out all the stops to determine the right solution. Her answer? One of her hunters.

Owen Marcus is an ex-military, ex-intelligence, ex-rogue asset for the government who spent significant formative time in Central America where he developed a hot hatred for human traffickers and people who take advantage of those who are vulnerable. He’s quickly become one of Alace's best hunters and is now the only one she trusts to do the job as well as she could.

Now if she can just keep from killing him.

EXCERPT

From Chapter Two

Alace Sweets

“Is everything okay?” She crossed the distance between them and leaned in so Nate could kiss her forehead, something she’d noted he liked doing. She let him wrap an arm around her shoulders, drawing her close to his side before he turned so they faced Ike.

“Nothing to worry about, baby girl.” Nate’s voice dropped into the lower registers, and she shivered at a sudden memory. That was how he’d sounded just before he buried his face between her legs last night, finding that delicate balance of aggressive licking and kissing, and a fragile tenderness that had been missing from her life for a long time. I’ll miss you, big guy.

 

“Hey, Ike.” She offered a little wave with the hand not currently tucked into Nate’s back pocket. From the outside, it probably looked like they were a longtime couple, only Nate would know that before last night all he’d gotten access to were her forehead and fingers. She’d gently rebuffed all his overtures while keeping the door open for use when it mattered most. Like last night, she thought, keeping the smile on her face small. “What’s up?”

“Hey, Pauline. Sorry to bother you and Nate.” Ike gestured towards the front room, and Nate led her towards the couch there. “I got some bad news, honey.” Tipping her head to one side, she settled next to Nate, letting him hold her close. She rested one palm on his thick thigh, allowing her fingers to curve possessively around it. “Alan Trueward, how well did…do you know him?”

Well, hell. They found him already.

She carefully didn’t let any of her thoughts show on her face. Stoicism was something she had long practiced, really since her first breath, if she were honest. All through her youth growing up in that tiny town, she’d had to hide everything inside her. All the pain and anger, the fear and loss. Getting out of bed in the morning meant sliding that particular mask into place, and she was so good at it now it was first nature, bypassing that second nature bullshit normal people lived with.

“Decent guy, he takes care of the girls.” She purposely let her smile broaden slightly. “He and April—” Alace tipped her head so she was grinning up at Nate. “—are quite the item.” Fraternization between employees at the club was frowned on, but Nate hadn’t told them to stop, which meant he probably didn’t know the reason behind it in the first place. Alace did. Alan was the entire reason she was in town, after all. Regg had sussed him out nearly two years ago, and she’d started laying plans. It’s what she did these days.

“Did you see Alan last night?”

Boy did I ever! I saw him on his knees calling out to a god who didn’t give one shit that the man was about to die. Just like Alan didn’t give one shit about those little girls he liked to rub off on when he was a teacher. Just like that judge didn’t give a shit about those little girls, giving Alan a commuted sentence because he “had such future contributions to give to society” and ignored his existing contributions to eleven little girls’ nightmares. Eleven future husbands who would have their hands full considering the woman made for them had been so abused. Alace firmly believed that every person had their one true love, and she just as firmly believed that Alan Trueward did not exist in that column for any woman, or man. God couldn’t be that cruel.

Yeah, I saw him. Saw him kneel. Saw him fall. Kicked dirt over his blood and shoveled it into the well after him. Saw the blade rise and fall, a glittering promise in every stroke seeing that taking Alan’s life was actually giving him peace, too. I promised him he’d never feel those urges again. His voice begging, pleading loudly, “I’m sick. I know. It’s a sickness.” He was sick, all right. Sick to death.

Synopsis

This is Angelo Dobbs’ worst nightmare. A good man lies dead, and with the Borderline Freaks MC’s president and founding member gone, the leadership position within the club falls to him.

It’s not that he can’t manage the easy task of leading a group of good men; he would just have preferred to stay a little farther out of the spotlight. But when his brothers issue the call, he answers.

Carly Gibson, daughter of his dead friend, is an unexpected—but not unwelcome—complication for his new role. She’s the most intriguing woman he’s ever met, capable and filled with a strength of character. He finds himself instinctively drawn to her. Could he have found the woman meant to complete him, finally?

Over the past couple of years, Dobbs—Neptune to the men of the BFMC—has watched as his closest friends found their soulmates. Now, their women are an integral part of the club. When they and Carly are threatened, Neptune will do anything to ensure their safety—and, just maybe, his future.

Fourth and final book in the Borderline Freaks MC series.

What Others Are Saying

Excerpts from Goodreads reviews

"Neptune and Carly’s story pulled me in from the get go! I enjoyed the characters and I’m so glad I got to read them. They are all so versatile and it just gives me all the feels!"

"Confession, I had to look up Valhalla, I'd not heard of it before reading this book. Another confession, I cried while reading this amazing story. A final confession, I'm sad this is the last book, it's been a beautiful and emotional ride with the Borderline Freaks MC and I'm gonna miss them. "

"This book was emotional, full of action, full of heartbreak, full of so much happening all the time."

Music is a driving passion, and she says, “I love music of nearly any genre — jazz, country, rock, alt rock, metal, classical, bluegrass, rap, hip hop … you name it, I listen to it. I can often be seen dancing through the house in the early mornings. But I really, REALLY love live music. My favorite thing with music is seeing bands in small, dive bars [read: small, intimate venues]. If said bar [venue] has a good selection of premium tequila, then that’s a plus!”

Synopsis

Wolf found Rose harbored more secrets than expected, and the deeper he pulls her into his life, the more he likes it.

----
Once a man’s been embedded in the bloody aftermath of fight after fight, no relief in sight—he’s forever changed.

Wolf came home from overseas to find his world askew. Husband no longer, he and his ex had agreed before his last deployment that they were better friends than partners. His position as father was confusing and rewarding all in the same breath.

He’s got a lot on his plate personally, and even more with the Borderline Freaks and the challenges they’ve hit lately.

He just doesn’t have time to make room for a relationship.

Right?
