The Writing Cave

I've been locked in! 

Walk my PD dog, coffee, writing chair, mysterious hitchhiker, lunch, chair, artwork forgery, walk the pup, chair, hunky dragon-tattooed sleeve, coffee, chair... months of this unpredictable plot-routine, and now, finally, I get to announce that Lonely Eyes, my newest book, is nearly ready to break free, out into the world in September.

During Sleepin' Alone and Stay A Little Longer, I fell for Owen Strong — his cryptic past, his ability to start again and adapt through his pain. You will remember, Owen is tortured by his failure to protect his family.

Keira, who you’re about to meet, will do anything to protect what remains of hers.

These lovers are special to me.

Starting over is always difficult. Many of you know that I did just that two years ago. And I love my new story, the one I’m making for myself. ;)

I want to thank you all for coming along with me on my writing adventure. I hope you find Owen and Kiera as intriguing and inspiring as I do; it's all an exciting ride.

Be well,

Bernadette

I’ve been in and out of trouble most of my life so I should have known better.
Her curves screamed trouble, but one look in her eyes told me how innocent she was.
Even after she was taken.
Tormented by her captors.
Our paths were never meant to cross, just like the secrets of her past were not supposed to be exposed.
By some miracle, she’s returned to me and I brand her immediately.
I’ll fight for her like I've fought for everything else in this life.
With the Royal Bastards backing us up, she’s not getting away from me twice.

The Royal Bastards MC universe has Chapters across the United States, this is book 1 of the Flagstaff Chapter.
