Saint

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wind Dragons and Cursed Ravens MC series comes sinners, saints and secrets…

*Dear Skylar,

Five years. That’s a long time to go without talking to somebody, especially someone who was such a huge part of your life…*

A letter from my first kiss and my childhood everything…from prison.

He may be nicknamed Saint, but this sweet, sexy biker most definitely has a wild streak. Hearing from him draws me right back into the Knights of Fury motorcycle club—the people I’ll always think of as family.

He’s still the only man I’ve ever wanted.

Each good, old-fashioned letter from my “prison pen pal” has my heart racing. Which is nothing compared to how I feel when Saint surprises me in person, as a free man.

I was just a kid the last time we saw each other, but the connection between us now is anything but innocent.

He’s the type of man who would do anything to protect his woman. And with my world crashing down around me, that’s exactly what I’m going to need.

This book is approximately 67,000 words

Please note: This book is part of the Knights of Fury MC series but can be read as a stand-alone.

One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise*: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!*


Read an excerpt:
Age 15

“What are you doing here?” Saint asks as I step inside the clubhouse, frowning as he takes in my denim shorts and white top. “And dressed like that?”

I roll my eyes at him. I’ve known Saint for about three years now, and normally I’d think of him as a friend, just another one of the guys. Okay, that’s a lie. I’ve always thought he was good looking—in fact, he’s probably the hottest guy I know in real life—but it was always just in a “yeah, he’s cute” type of way. But recently something has changed. My heart beats faster when he’s around, and I want to look nice for him. I even put on a little makeup before I got here.

It’s time I admit that I have a crush on Saint, a crush that is completely one-sided.

Before we could hang out and everything would be normal, but now I get nervous every time he’s around, and I think it’s because I’m now seeing him in a different light. I wish things would just go back to the way they were before, because we’d just chat, give each other shit or watch movies or something, but now I’m awkward around him and don’t know how to act.

Let’s add that he’s five years older than me and a prospect for the Knights of Fury MC.

The MC my father is president of.

So basically, he’s never going to see me as anything more than Hammer’s daughter. I need to nip this little crush in the bud as soon as possible, because it’s a huge inconvenience to my life.

My journey to becoming a writer

At the age of twenty six I found myself ready to pursue a dream of mine.

To write a book.

After getting married young and having a young family I had dedicated my life to, I knew that I was ready to start a new chapter, so I enrolled myself in University to study a degree in writing, editing and publishing. Books had stolen my heart at a young age, and after falling back in love with them to the point I was reading one romance novel every single day, I knew that I wanted a career that had something to do with reading and writing. I started blogging, and reviewing books whilst studying, and tried my hand at writing a few books, only to find myself getting stuck around the three quarter mark and being unable to finish them. Finally, I came up with a book idea that I loved, and co-wrote it with another author. It was edited by ourselves and other authors in the community, and it was raw. When we hit publish, the book hit the top 100 in the Amazon charts, and the rest is history. I started writing by myself, I got an agent, and publisher deals. I dropped out of University, and pursued writing full time. That was six years ago, and thirty or so books later, I’m still in awe of the path that my life took me, and grateful every day that I’m able to do something I love, and that people actually want to read my words.
