Okay y’all, I write steamy, but this one’s scorching! Today I’m delighted to introduce a new writer friend, Haley Wylde, here to share her latest motorcycle club romance.
Farrah — I’ve spent my entire life at the Dixie Reapers MC compound — one of the perks of being the VP’s daughter. Except it’s suffocating. Leaving to start a life of my own was the only solution. I knew what it would mean if I went to the Devil’s Fury MC compound, even more so to flirt with their Sergeant-at-Arms. Getting involved would ruin the little bit of freedom I’ve found. Then I ended up in the man’s bed. Leave it to me to find trouble around every corner. My daddy is going to be so pissed, especially when I run from Demon, get snatched off the streets, and shoved into a trunk. I’m not winning at the adulting thing.
Demon — She was a one-night stand. Until the condom broke. Then I found out she’d lied to me. The hot little number in my bed wasn’t just any woman, she was the daughter of a Dixie Reaper. Maybe I shouldn’t have barked orders at her, or spanked her. Feisty little Farrah ran, pissing me off even more. When she disappeared and I realized trouble had found her, I knew I’d do whatever it took to make sure she was safe. Only after I had her back did I realize she was f**king perfect for me. Watching her handle the club wh*res was hot as hell, and she didn’t take sh*t off anyone.
I’ll make her mine — permanently.
WARNING: Demon’s book contains graphic violence and sex, bondage, spanking, bad language, and scenes that may be difficult for some readers. But it also has a heroic dog and a man who will move heaven and earth to protect the feisty, smart-mouthed woman he loves. There’s no cliffhanger and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

The moment I heard the shower running I grabbed my dress and pulled it over my head. I snatched my shoes from the floor and tiptoed out of the room. Every muscle in my body clenched tight as I approached the front door, worried he’d discover I wasn’t where he’d left me. If Demon didn’t want me to leave, there wouldn’t be much I could do to stop him. He was so much larger than me. I made it outside, put on my shoes, and practically ran for my truck. I huffed and puffed by the time I reached the clubhouse and jumped into the cab of my pickup. I jammed the key into the ignition and started it up, then my tires spit gravel as I backed out and barreled toward the gate.
The poor Prospect didn’t have a choice but to let me out. It was either open the gate, or I’d have gone straight through it. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I headed for the motel. I’d been so stupid. Letting him take my virginity was one thing. I should have left it there and walked out, but no, I’d let him tempt me into more.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
“Way to go, Farrah. First taste of freedom and you possibly get knocked up by a Neanderthal biker,” I griped to myself. I’d been around the type my entire life and knew better. Why I’d thought Demon would be different wasn’t something I’d figure out anytime soon.

Harley Wylde is the International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil’s Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.
When Harley’s writing, her motto is the hotter the better — off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can’t deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you’ve come to the right place. She doesn’t shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

Questions for Harley:
What do you love about the genre you write in?
I think one of the things I love most is the expectation for over the top alpha males. Readers of MC romances expect their heroes to be cocky and demanding. The bikers in my romances take what they want, to a certain degree. However, they also protect the innocent, especially children. When they love, they love hard and forever. While some of the books in my genre have cheating, my heroes never stray once they find the woman who captures their heart.
Do you write in other genres?
I do, actually. I write paranormal and sci-fi romances as Jessica Coulter Smith, Gay Romance as Dulce Dennison, and Young Adult romances as Charity West. When I first started researching the ins and outs of being published, it was a common practice to use a different pen name for difference genres (or sub-genres).
Tell us about your journey from aspiring writer to published author.
I’ve loved to write for as long as I can remember. I was the student who got excited over writing assignments in English class. Even at home, I would sit and write at my computer in high school and later as a stay-at-home mom. It just never occurred to me I could actually do anything with the stories I wrote. I’d had it drummed into my head that writing, or other artistic pursuits, were to be more of a hobby than a career. So I wrote just because I loved it.
In 2008, I finished my first paranormal romance as Jessica Coulter Smith. My husband and a good friend both convinced me if I’d taken the time to write a novel, I might as well do something with it. So I submitted it to a few places. A small press accepted the book and set me on an incredible journey.
What do you do for fun when you’re not writing?
Read. Well, I do watch an hour or two of TV a night with my husband as well, but mostly I read when I’m not writing. Or I clean. My son recently made the comment, “you’re always reading!” I’m still a bit concerned he seemed worried about it. Honestly, I’d rather read than watch TV or do much of anything else. It’s relaxing for me.
What does your writing space look like?
I recently had an interior room enclosed. It had two arched doorways that were wide open. One is now a wall and the other is a glass door (so I don’t feel like I’m in a cave – although when my kids and cats stare at me through the door, I do feel a bit like I’m a zoo exhibit). I painted the walls a pale mint green so it would brighten the space enough to be cheery, yet tranquil enough to help with my stress levels. I have furniture that’s a combination of rustic wood and black metal, and two of my book covers were enlarged and framed. I also ordered three autographed J. Scott Campbell prints from his statue designs of Fairytale Fantasies. When they arrive, they’ll also be framed and go on the wall. There’s also a floating shelf for my awards and one for my Nightmare Before Christmas figures.
Do you have any particular writing quirks? A special object, snack, music, etc. that helps you with your writing process?
I’m not sure I’d consider it a quirk, but I often have either a Starbucks bottled Frappuccino when I’m working or I’ll swing through a drive-thru and get a hot white mocha. I’ve found the hot drinks especially help me focus. It’s not so much the caffeine, because I can drink three coffees and go right to sleep, but something about it helps keep my attention from wandering while I’m trying to write, work on marketing, or any other task.
Any advice for aspiring writers?
As cliché as it sounds… never give up! You’ll have plenty of people tell you writing isn’t a real job. Or tell you that you’ll never make enough to pay the bills. They’ll do everything they can to tear you down, all in the name of trying to protect you. While it’s true that you most likely won’t be an overnight (or even ten year) success, it does happen. It’s rare, but it happens. If you want to write full-time, or become published, then you have to be willing to stick with it for the long haul. Even if your first checks are small, or it feels like you’ll never get to where you want to be, you have to keep going. If you don’t believe in yourself and your own abilities, then you can’t expect everyone else to. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it. (and that’s true for any career, not just writing)
Thanks, Harley, for joining us today!
