Quinn

Two things happened on my thirteenth birthday. My older sister went missing. And I told Smoke Callahan, the Iron Outlaws Road Captain, that it was his fault she was gone.

Fourteen years later, I still hate him.

But hate doesn’t keep me safe when the Bratva sets its sights on me.

I need protection. The kind only a ruthless, broken man like Smoke can provide.

So I make him an offer. I’ll help him recover from the burns that nearly cost him his life. In return, he keeps me breathing.

It should be simple. It isn’t.

Because the more time I spend in his orbit, the more I see the man behind the scars. The one who carries a past as heavy as mine. And when he looks at me, it’s not hatred I see in his dark eyes anymore.

It’s something far more dangerous.


Smoke

Quinn Moran was just a kid when she came at me, fists flying, blaming me for her sister’s disappearance. I let her. I deserved it.

Now she’s all grown up—sharp-tongued, stubborn as hell, and standing in my cabin, asking for my protection.

I should say no. I should send her away.

But I don’t. Because even if she still hates me, I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.

Even if it means she learns the truth.

Even if it means she never forgives me.

Because she was never meant to be mine. But that won’t stop me from taking her.

Meet S. Cole:

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author who 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!). 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 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 any time.

THE PAST

Blurb:

Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County. 


Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.


Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.


Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.


The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones. Review:

This is the story we didn't know we needed. I was obsessed with this story as soon as I started. Fiona goes through a lot in a year, a year that she met Tommy. Her heart knew that Tommy was what would make her life better. These two just got each other, Tommy really saw Fiona for who she was becoming as a woman. A lot of drama and crazy family situations but in the end, it all works for the better and their hearts.
