Release Date: April 6, 2021

BLURB Instincts are all we have to rely on. And mine were spot on. There are a few things I don’t like to talk about in life. My father. And Kansas. I hate him, and I hate that godforsaken state. To this day, I haven’t loved because there’s a fear.An inkling. An instinct that I will be just like him. I convinced myself our blood was rotten, tainted, and sour. I believe I didn’t have the ability to be faithful or loyal. But then after a blizzard, a sailboat washed to shore. And she was there. She’s here at the clubhouse now. Violet Winston. A name that matches the fields of lavender of her eyes. I have no right to want her. I can’t love her. I’ll ruin her. The more I get to know her, the harder I fall. Usually, there’s a calm after the storm. But not this time. Between her father being a drug dealer.The drugs hidden in the boat.And the man that wants his drugs.We are about to feel the havoc of a hurricane. Truths hit us out of nowhere and they hurt worse than a lie ever did. Love tests us and rips us open. Friendships are lost. Loyalty is damned. I’m not in Kansas anymore. But Jersey hurts just the same. GOODREADS LINK: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56783158-kansas PRE-ORDER LINKS US: https://amzn.to/3trHbIh

AU: https://amzn.to/3qE3pFf EXCERPT I wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of whimpering. For a second, I don’t know where I am, but then I hear a soft beep of a monitor and realize I’m with Springs. I glance down, and my nose gets buried in the bush of her unruly, wild, curly hair. I’ve never seen hair like this before. It’s how I came up with the name Springs. Each strand of hair looks like a tightly wound coil or spring. Since I don’t know her name, I’ve been calling her Springs. She quiets down and settles against me again, and I do something weird, something I’ve never done before, and I’m glad she’s asleep for it. I inhale the scent of her hair, and my eyes roll to the back of my head when I smell peaches. I have to hold back a groan and many, many other things that are not appropriate right now. I’m such an ass. She rolls away from me, and blood rushes through my arm. Static tingles my fingers, and I slide my arm out from under her and then fix the sheet as it slides down her shoulders. She has a small tattoo right under her collarbone, simple, delicate, and sophisticated. It’s a simple flower, a rose. The line work is thin, which gives it a feminine, elegant appearance. I want to lean down and kiss it so badly, but it’s selfish thinking, considering everything she’s been through. I shouldn’t want her like I do. I have no right.There are a few things I tell myself to stay away from. Love. And hate. I like to be balanced. Being right in the middle means nothing can go wrong. There are no expectations to be met. No promises can be broken. No disappointment can be felt. No love can be lost. I live life in the middle for the most part. Personally, I think it’s worked out pretty well, minus being whipped and strung up like a pig for standing up for what I believe in. Keeping my desires close to my heart saves me, even if what I want suffocates me every day. Even though I want love, even though I want more, and I don’t want to slide between the legs of a club whore, I’m scared. What if I’m just like my father? What if what I have isn’t enough, and I’ll want another life, another family? What if his bad blood runs through my veins, and I’m just this piece of shit human being? Maybe I try too hard to be a decent man because inside I know just how rotten I am. My stomach growls, yanking me out of my pity party. I rub my hands over my face and look at the time. It’s four in the morning. No wonder I’m hungry. I missed dinner, and that means she did too. I sit up and swing my legs over the bed as I stretch my neck left, then right, getting the cricks out. My boots hit the floor with a soft thud, and I look over my shoulder to make sure I didn’t wake her. Her curly hair looks like a huge cotton ball on the pillow. Her body is covered by the sheet and all I see are those curly coils. I chuckle to myself and fight the urge to reach up and run my fingers through her hair. ALSO AVAILABLE #1 Boomer’s Rise

COVER REVEAL

THRASHER (Royal Bastards MC: Portland #1) by KL Savage

Release Date: February 26, 2021

US: https://amzn.to/2MCXfqC UK: https://amzn.to/3ovV9Wu CA: https://amzn.to/2YnV24P AU: https://amzn.to/3aaIiUF

War can never be forgotten.

No matter how many years have gone by. No matter how many roads I’ve travelled. No matter how many women I lose myself in. The memories remain.

And on top of it all, I have the Dear John letter memorized in my head I received the day of the bombing. War and love can go straight to hall because I’m done with both. The only solace I have is the club. We’ve been traveling awhile now and it’s time to go home. But before we do, I’m collecting my mark and hopefully Reaper remembers. Because I’m not leaving Vegas without it.

Only, I never thought I’d want a beautiful blondie instead. There’s a catch. She’s off-limits because she’s The President’s sister. Of the Ruthless Kings. I don’t want love. And I sure as hell don’t want war. I’ve lived both and both nearly killed me. But I can’t seem to stay away, and my terms have changed for the debt has changed.

I’m not leaving without Delilah. The damn woman’s made me believe in love again. And I’m not letting that go. Even if it means I have to fight.

What’s that saying? Nothing is fair in love and war.

COVER REVEAL

Title: Slingshot

Series: Ruthless Kings MC #14

Author: K.L. Savage

Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense/Organized Crime

Cover Design: Lori Jackson

Photo: Wander Aguiar

Model: Christoph

Release Date: July 7, 2021

BLURB

She slingshotted her way into my heart.

I’m a laid back kind of guy. I don’t like to take life too seriously. I’ve experienced serious and I’ve gone through the bad life has to offer. I’m ready for the good in life. I wear my heart on my sleeve just so someone can take it. And someone does… Natalia Moretti. Out of all the people for me to love, why does it have to be her? The frenemy’s daughter. I’m screwed. I’m risking my life to be with her. But if life isn’t about taking risks, then what the hell else are we supposed to do? Love with her isn’t simple. There’s blood. War. Revenge. Anger. And that’s not the worst of it. Her Uncle Maximo poses a threat along with someone who I thought was long gone out of my life. Protecting the ones I love means I could die. Death doesn’t scare me. I’ve come close one too many times to be afraid of it. I face it head on.

And if I do, heaven better have tacos.

EXCERPT

“Knives points to Benji. “We like you. What’s your name? What do you do? What’s your future like?”

“Knives, leave him alone.” Skirt groans. “He’s just a wee one.”

“He isn’t just ‘a wee one.’ He held his own. Who are you?” Knives asks, not sticking out his hand but running that damn ninja star across his knuckles like always.

“Benji,” my friend says. “Natalia, I’m so sorry about your eye. I shouldn’t have started anything. I didn’t like how he talked about you ladies.”

“No, you did good, kid,” Knives says. “You want something bigger, badder, and a bit messier, come prospect. We’re always looking for new blood.”

Benji rubs his jaw and nods. “Yeah, alright. Anything is better than going to the NFL to follow dad’s footsteps.”

Knives tosses his head back and laughs. “Ah, kid. You have no idea how many of us have fucking daddy issues.”

Slingshot comes outside, and he marches to me with powerful strides. The sun glints against his leather cut and his blue eyes; god, they hypnotize me. I don’t think he knows the power he exudes because he’s always holding it in. Without stopping, he wraps his hand around the back of my neck and bends me, dipping me over his knee as he kisses me, stealing my breath as his own.

A few catcalls sound out, and he pulls me up quickly, too quickly for me to piece together a single thought as his thumb brushes over my lips. “You didn’t go back to your seat. Good girls listen, don’t they?”

I nod and rub my thighs together when my clit begins to throb.

“Make it up to me by going out with me, right now.”

“Now? Right now?” I look around at my group of friends, and they’re all nodding.

“She’d love to go out.” Nora’s hand presses against my back, and she pushes me toward Slingshot.

“Well, there’s a bonfire tonight at the house,” Benji suggests. “If you want to come.”

“How about we meet you there? I want to change into something…better.”

Slingshot brings his soft lips to my ears. “Are you trying to tease me, Good Girl?”

I nod.

“Make sure you don’t wear panties, then. Text me the address.” He gives my behind a good squeeze as he leaves but then backtracks. “And be good while I’m gone, Natalia. You don’t want to know what happens when you misbehave.”

Oh, I do. I really do.

With hearts in my eyes and liquid heat between my thighs, I watch him mount his bike, which only leads me to think of all the ways he can mount me. The bikes grumble to life. The rumbles are deafening and shake the beverages on the table: the ice clinks together—the silverware trembles against the white tablecloth.

Slingshot does something I don’t expect him to do and reminds me how soft and tender his heart is.

He blows me a kiss in front of everyone without caring what others will think.

My knees are weak, and my brain is a complete fog as he pulls away.

“Oh my god, girl. You are so screwed,” Faye cheers before downing her drink.

“Nah, she’s about to be screwed. Right into a mattress!” Cora hollers and thrusts her hips into the air.

And then they begin to sing that damn song in The Sweetest Thing, and even Benji is cracking up laughing, but that’s not what makes it so bad.

Other people join in.

And I’ve never heard the word penis so much in my life.

I never want to watch that movie again.

Also, my friends need to come with a warning label. Society is never ready. I’m never ready.

BLURB

I'm a car accident waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before I crash.Every day that passes, every second I blink, the need to drink grows.Meetings aren't enough.My will power isn't enough.

Sunnie... The second I see her, I want to crash into her insteadBut she may not be enough to kill the needI'm trying...but I can't try anymore.And when Sunnie tells me something that I can't handle?I break.I run away.I sprint to the nearest watering hole.Away from life, from responsibilities, from fear...I've never been good with change. Everything is safe right now.I'm in a bubble and I've kept Sunnie there too.She wants more than that kind of life.I don't know how to give it to her.Her words play on repeat in my head.

"Maybe isn't fair for us to sacrifice the things we want if it means being together?"If I don't have her, I have nothing.But you know what I do have? Addiction.And I'm staring at the bottle.She's beautiful.Just. One. Taste.And everything will be okay.

EXCERPT

No one knows where I am. I have my phone off. I didn't tell anyone where I was going, and I didn't speak a word to Sunnie about it. I'm too afraid to. After all the progress I've made and all the steps I've taken, I'm starting to relapse.I want rum.I want it so fucking desperately it keeps me up at night. I dream about it. When I drink coffee, I find myself wishing rum were in the cup instead. I'll settle for anything at this point. Vodka. Whiskey. Gin. I don't care. My mouth is watering for it.My body aches for it. My muscles hurt and spasm, and there is this constant throb in the base of my skull.Slamming.Pounding.Screaming at me to give in.I rub my temples and exhale a shaky breath. My fingers tremble around my sobriety chip as I fumble with it, twisting and flipping it in my palm.The room fills with people, and the cheap metal chairs scrape against the floor, echoing in the wide-open space. To the left is a table topped with coffee, tea, water, and soda. To the left of the coffee maker are packets of sugar in a container and a bottle of coffee creamer.Maybe I just need to drink something, and the craving will stop. I stand, rubbing my sweaty palms against my jeans. There are a few new faces here tonight, and they're hovering around the beverage table, away from the regulars.

Ah, I remember standing in the back, hoping to not be seen. It'll get easier. It helps being surrounded by people with the same struggle.I grab a Styrofoam cup and fill it halfway, adding a dash of creamer. I don't bother stirring in it. It isn't to wake up. It's just to do something other than think about alcohol. I take a sip and let the hot java sear my throat, hoping like hell it burns the addiction right out of me.A younger woman, possibly no more than eighteen, is stirring her tea next to the table. She looks like she's seen better days. She has bright blue hair, which I think is so cool. I've never seen anyone pull off a color like that. She seems sad and is a bit too thin.

By the track marks on her arms, I'll say that has something to do with it.Maybe I can introduce her to Sunnie."Hi, I'm Patrick." I introduce myself to try and break the ice, showing her that we aren't a scary bunch."Poppy." Her hand meets mine in a firm shake.I thought it would be limper, considering how she looks."So, what's your vice, Poppy?" I lean against the pillar and sip the bitter coffee.It sure the fuck doesn't go down as smooth as rum."Heroin and Vodka. You?" She lifts her eyes to mine, and the dark circles take me back to the early days of recovery."Rum, but I drank just about anything."She nods as if she understands. Her eyes dart around the room. I can tell she's feeling overwhelmed. "I don't know if I can do this," she admits."I get it, but don't put so much pressure on yourself. You don't have to speak, but it helps.""Is this your first meeting?" she stares at me, hopeful.I snort, bringing the cup to my lips. "Try my thousandth, maybe? I don't know. It's up there. I don't come much anymore because I've been doing better."She cocks her head and analyzes me. "Why are you here today?""Because right now, I wish this coffee was rum, and I'm this close," I hold my finger and thumb barely apart, "this fucking close, to saying fuck everything just to get a drink."

All the stories are true!

Backstory: I am an Art and Desing major with an Arts Entrepreneurship minor at Morehead State University. For my Arts Ent class, I have to take items made by me to a marketplace. I knew right away that I would be using Etsy! But I chose to create Bookmarks after picking up a book to read one day just to realize that I had very few bookmarks. I created some for myself then decided to laminate them for long lasting use and use them as my sales pitch for class. I cut and paint them with watercolor myself and then I write on them using prismacolor pens. Once everything is dry, I laminate them and they are good to go! I take my inspiration from works of literature, tv / movies, and broadway. Some Bookmarks you will find are from The Shadowhunters Chronicles, A court of Thorns and Roses, Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Teen Wolf.

My point: since this is for my class, I need to get a good grade. So please check out my Etsy Shop and buy one or two bookmarks from me! I am currently only going to be shipping within the United States, but I do plan to expand that if I get better business!
