MC president’s daughter

Blurb:

Beth Daniels grew up in the morally gray world of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle Club. Daughter of a legacy, surrounded by overprotective alpha bikers and fierce women who never backed down, she’s spent her whole life trying to prove she’s more than an MC princess. Smart, stubborn, and desperate to carve out her own identity, she left home determined to stand on her own. But independence comes at a price, and by the time she admits needing her family isn’t weakness, she’s trapped in a nightmare relationship that shatters her confidence and breaks something deep inside.

Saint knows what true darkness looks like. Raised in a militant cult, he learned early how to protect the vulnerable and fight with everything he has for the people he loves. As the second oldest of many siblings, responsibility is etched into his bones. So when he finds Beth in danger, he doesn’t hesitate; he pulls her out and becomes the one steady place in her crumbling world. And somewhere between watching over her and trying to keep his distance, the attraction he swore he’d never feel ignites.

She’s younger. She’s his president’s daughter. She already left the club once.
Wanting her isn’t just reckless, it’s dangerous.

As one of her father’s men, Saint is off-limits. Crossing that line could cost him everything, including the family he’s chosen. Beth refuses to be the reason Saint loses the brotherhood that saved him. But some connections are too strong to deny, and some temptations refuse to be ignored.

When enemies surface with Beth in their crosshairs, the biker who promised to stay away becomes the only man capable of burning the world down to keep her safe. And Beth, tired of being protected, tired of being told who she can be and who she can love, finally chooses her own life and her own man.

Their chemistry is wildfire.
Their secrets are landmines.
And loving a Hell’s Handler has never come without a price.

Author Bio: 

Lilly Atlas is an award-winning contemporary romance author, proud Navy wife, and mother of three spunky girls. For years, Lilly has been daydreaming and plotting characters in her head while driving, showering, and sometimes when she was supposed to be paying attention to something else. She finally decided to get the ideas out of her head and into books.

Every time Lilly downloads a new eBook, she expects her Kindle App to tell her it’s exhausted and overworked. She’s been waiting for the pop-up asking to please give it some rest. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet, so she can often be found absorbed in a new book.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really loved Beth and Saint. Coming from horrible situations, they found ways to love and trust with their family and chosen family. Beth bounced back for the most part from her boyfriend with the help of Saint and found strength once she was back with the MC and family. He, in turn, went against his loyalty to the MC to be with her and followed his heart. There was plenty of heat between these two, and danger came after them. As the ending of the book neared, I had a couple questions, but they were answered by the last page. A wonderful story of survival and love and well worth the read.

 

Teaser: Strings by Jan Merritt with an excerpt and a giveaway

Strings

by Jan Merritt

Contemporary Romance, Romantic Drama, Women’s Fiction

Date Published: 11-21-2025

With a national lockdown looming, a Southern journalist flees north, determined to jumpstart her career in the safety of a Minnesota wilderness, feisty and wary of entanglements, she piques the interest of a bored Native American rock star.

A pandemic is spreading across the globe. A national lockdown looms in the United States. A Southern journalist sees a chance to protect her health and jumpstart her career by escaping north to a Minnesota wilderness. Feisty and wary of entanglement, she piques the interest of a bored Native American rock star on his way home.

Robby Song’s career may be on hold, but Grace Wheeler is on a mission to build hers. To Robby, she’s an intriguing challenge. To Grace, he’s a distraction she’s not ready to handle. But the brutal Northwoods winter is coming. Grace flees back south . . . to soul-searching isolation and a puzzling middle-of-the-night call.

Excerpt

“Interesting.” He looked out at the lake. “This is so different.”

“Different from what?”

“What I’m used to . . . when I come home. I’m not used to having conversations anymore with people I don’t know or who don’t know who I am. I’ve been away for sixteen years . . . living a totally different life. Normally, when I’m here, I have a sort of agenda. I know who I’m going to see — family and old friends. This time, I have no schedule, no pending dates, nothing to make me leave. I hadn’t realized I’ve been so isolated from dealing with people . . . with strangers . . . like you.” He leaned forward to get up and looked over at Grace. “And the women I’m around don’t treat me like you do. They’re much more agreeable.” He stood up. “I need food. You want to come or not?”

Grace looked up at him, pulling her hair back away from her face with her right hand. “I can imagine how the women you meet act, now that I know who you are. You’ve been living in a bubble, but who you are doesn’t mean a thing to me. And if you think I’m disagreeable, you’re in for a bad time if this pandemic lasts. In the real world, women have lives, and they’re not all focused on stroking . . . male . . . egos.” She stood up. “Not every woman is interested in being your groupie. The world has changed while you’ve been in your bubble.”

“Well, if you’re any indication, I should invest in a suit of armor.”

“Probably not a bad idea.”

 

About the Author

Jan Merritt is passionate about teaching both in the classroom and on horses, but brain cancer changed her life. Surgeries and treatments have left her with a new brain, one that does not have skills to teach middle school English or balance to ride horses . . . but loves to create stories.

Jan lives on the coast of South Carolina with strong ties to northern Minnesota. Growing up was filled with rich but conflicting narratives. Her dad told stories about his pioneering Minnesota family, egalitarian values, and the importance of self-reliance. They made annual trips to family cabins on a lake north of Duluth. But in her friends’ homes back in Charleston, she was immersed in plantation lore, tales of the Confederacy, and exclusive traditions of a social set that she was not born into. She is married to a musician who is also a mental health therapist. They have three children.

He never planned to fall for her.

Now he'll risk everything to save her.

As a special agent--and a self-proclaimed bachelor--Brian Malone has rules that keep his life controlled and complication-free.

Until Tess Bingham.

When a storm damages their home, Brian offers Tess and Andy the use of his family's beach house while repairs are made. Soon, he's checking in far more often than necessary--and pretending the attraction between them doesn't exist becomes impossible.

Neither of them planned for this.

Fern:
I’ve orchestrated dozens of perfect weddings, but planning my cousin’s lavish seaside ceremony might be my breaking point.
Between demanding relatives and last-minute disasters, I’m close to losing my mind.
The only bright spot is the quiet, watchful man stationed near the doors.
The second I see Jackson, I forget all about floral arrangements and the stress of my job.
When he looks at me, I feel things that I've never felt before.
He’s a Navy SEAL, a man built for danger and discipline, and for some reason, every time I smile at him, his jaw tightens like I’m a problem he can’t solve.
I tell myself not to care, that a man like him would never be interested in me, but I can't seem to help myself.
I want the sexy SEAL.
I just have no idea how to make that happen.

Jackson:
I’m only doing security at this fancy coastal wedding as a favor to my friend.
The job is supposed to be easy.
Just smile. Scan the exits. Stay professional.
That was the plan… until I see her.
Fern, with her warm eyes, mouthwatering curves, and sugar-sweet smiles.
One look and I know I don’t just want a week with her.
I want everything.
Now I just need to convince her that we’re meant to be and that the next wedding she’s planning needs to be ours.

Welcome to Saddle Ridge, where life is hard and love is wild...

Maddox

I'm no stranger to hard work. I've got a family ranch that's on the brink of collapse, a grandfather whose health is fading, and a laundry list of other responsibilities that demand my constant attention.

Every sunrise brings a new fight. There's no time to worry about what might have been with the girl who got away.

But it seems I've avoided Amelia King for as long as I can.

One reckless ranch hand making trouble at her bar is more than I can afford. Her outlaw cousin and his gang of gearheads won't take kindly to the mess my man has made. So I swallow my pride and head into town to make things right.

The moment I spot her, she takes my breath away. Still gorgeous and igniting that familiar fire in my veins, just the sight of her brings back all of my memories. But before I can grab a broom or write a check for the damages, an unexpected phone call interrupts our chaotic reunion.

With my grandfather's legacy now on the line, I'm desperate to preserve it if it's the last thing I do. We're facing an enemy with a dangerous connection to Amelia of all people, and they're determined to stop me no matter who gets hurt in the process. As the stakes get higher, lives hang in the balance, so I do exactly what my sister begs me not to. Forming an alliance with the Fallen Demons Motorcycle Club could cost my family everything. But there's something more dangerous than going into business with the outlaws: admitting I'm in love with their vice president's cousin.

A guarded billionaire single dad meets the one woman who could heal his heart in this emotional and blisteringly hot romance by USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann.

One look at former NFL player Gavin Worthington has Emily craving things she shouldn’t. Yet his scorching-hot body and dangerously perfect smile are everything she wants. At the same time, a single glance at the breathtakingly sexy Emily Wren and her unforgettable blue eyes has Gavin desiring things he hasn’t in years.

Their agreement is simple: one night of uninhibited pleasure. No strings, no complications.

But one taste isn’t enough, and he can’t get Emily out of his head.

Gavin never lets women get close—his seven-year-old son, Ben, is his entire world. But there’s something about the gorgeous nurse that breaks through every wall he’s built. She’s incredible with his boy, lights up his darkest places, and makes him hunger in ways he’d forgotten were possible. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny their growing feelings. Except the pull of Gavin’s past is stronger than they imagined.

For this grumpy single dad to move forward and hold on to the only woman who’s made him feel alive in years, he’ll have to convince Emily that their connection is more powerful than the emotional barriers between them. They’ll need to trust that sometimes the most unexpected love stories lead to the happiest endings. All they have to do is take the chance.

On this ranch, there will be a reckoning.

Shadow

Her grandfather's sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought she'd left behind for good. Now she's fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.

Her brother's solution is to bring in outsiders, that's what she says. He claims without the club's help, the ranch is doomed. 

But I see the genius in Della's vision. 

And this ain't our first rodeo. Literally. 

Now we're up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who don't think Della belongs here, she's determined to prove everyone wrong. And I'm determined to prove to her the spark that's igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect what's rightfully hers—and ours—or will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?

She's been looking for the right man her entire life.
Everyone knows who it is—except her.

Single mom Esme Taylor doesn't do risk. Not anymore. She runs her flower shop in the small coastal town of Willet Cove, raises two kids, and never again depends on a man who might leave when things get hard.

But there's one man she lets close.

Grady Nash has been her best friend for five years. He fixes what breaks, shows up when she calls, and loves her kids unconditionally. He feels like everything she needs.

Which is exactly the problem.

Because Grady runs a surf shop, lives simply, and seems content with very little. To Esme—who needs security, stability, a man with a future—he looks like everything she can't afford to risk.

What she doesn't know is that Grady is hiding a past so toxic, he'll do anything to keep it from touching her life.

A past that comes with a fortune he's never claimed. A scandal that destroyed everything he was. And a truth that—if it ever surfaces—could bring danger and scrutiny crashing down on the family he's sworn to protect.

When buried feelings force them past the safety of friendship, Esme must decide if she can trust the man who's been lying to her for years.

And Grady must choose between the life he's built in the shadows—or risking everything, including her safety, for the love he's never stopped wanting.

Because some secrets are kept to protect the people we love.
And some will test whether love is strong enough to survive the truth.

A clean and wholesome friends-to-lovers romance set in a small coastal town from USA Today Bestselling author Tess Thompson.
