BLURB

She’s the one woman I can never have. Now, I’m the only man who can keep her alive.

 

Ember

Being the daughter of a motorcycle club president means two things—power and protection.

But it also comes with one unbreakable rule: No biker touches the president's daughter and lives to tell about it.

Which means Hudson "Atom" Addams, the club’s brooding enforcer and the man I’ve loved half my life, will never be mine.

Until the Bratva rolls into town, demanding protection money.

Now, my father is forcing me to accept Atom's protection.

Close quarters. Late nights. And the one man I swore I’d never beg for again.

Atom

Five years ago, the woman of my dreams laid her heart at my feet.

I wanted to claim her. Keep her. Make her mine.

Instead, I let her go.

Butcher’s warning was clear—touch his daughter, and I’d be dead before sunrise.

So I buried my need for her and turned my back.

Now, the Bratva is making a play for her bar. And to make matters worse, she’s got a boyfriend.

I should walk away. I should let her go. But I’m not that strong.

Protecting her means breaking the rules. Claiming her means starting a war.

And I’ll burn this town to the ground before I let her slip away again.

Review::

I loved this story, its right up there with the first book, usually I have a favorite at this point but both are just amazing. The way the story is told held me until the very end, I didn't want to take the breaks I had to to adult. Atom is fighting a war with his heart. Ember doesn't know to keep holding on to the hope of love or to just settle. The whole story was beautifully told, I cannot wait for more.

AUTHOR BIO

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance books!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk about hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from you any time.

She is represented by Louise Fury at The Fury Agency.

Title: Two Minutes for Holding

Author: S.L. Sterling

Genre: Sports Romance; Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 25, 2025

Knox stood across from me, anger in his eyes, his right hand in a fist ready to hit me. In that moment, as I stared at him trying to figure out what to say before he hit me, I wished I’d never walked into that little dive bar.

Actually, that wasn’t true because that was the night that changed my life forever.

That was the night I saved Knox’s little sister, Peyton, from making what I was certain was a huge mistake I’d figure she’d regret for the rest of her life.

We all had a code among the players on the team. We all looked after one another, and that included family members. So, when I saw some guy hitting on Peyton, I stepped in. I pretended to be her boyfriend to get rid of the guy who’d been hitting on her and when she turned those big hazel eyes on me things didn’t stop there. I bought her drinks, let her vent out her frustrations about the fight she’d just had with her brother and then one thing led to another, and she ended up wrapped up in my sheets.

A few months later, the memory of her and that night remains fresh in my mind and soon she is all I can think about. Thankfully, I get to see her again at the season’s end barbeque. Armed with good intentions, that is when I find out everything is about to change in not only my life but hers, including my friendship with her brother.

The guys on the team had always told me love would hit me when I least expected it, either that or I’d get a girl in trouble. I just never believed they would both happen at the same time.

 

Review:

So Peyton's immaturity drove me nuts. Its like if you told her to go left for a bucket full of treasure, she'd go right and end up with a buck full of crap just to spite you. Knox was patient, kind, and wanted to take care of her. Peyton lies and makes up reality in her head to suit the situation. She gets herself into trouble over and over then gets upset when her family is like, here we go again. I did not like how harsh her brother was with her, especially since he is such a caring guy, but sometimes tough love wins. Thankfully Knox took his time with Peyton and made her realize that honesty and growing up is what needed to happen for a future. 

S.L. Sterling was born and raised in southern Ontario. She now lives in Northern Ontario Canada and is married to her best friend and soul mate and their two dogs. 

An avid reader all her life, S.L. Sterling dreamt of becoming an author. She decided to give writing a try after one of her favorite authors launched a course on how to write your novel. This course gave her the push she needed to put pen to paper and her debut novel "It Was Always You" was born. 

When S.L. Sterling isn't writing or plotting her next novel she can be found curled up with a cup of coffee, blanket and the newest romance novel from one of her favorite authors on her e-reader. Her favorite authors include Kendall Ryan, Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Lauren Blakely, Alessandra Torre and Willow Winters. 

In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking, sunny destinations, spending quality time with family and friends and of course reading.
