MaryAnne
-- I was sixteen when I learned a hard lesson. No, it wasn’t a lesson. It was
worse. Kidnapped, tortured, abused in the worst of ways… I’d thought my life
was over. Until the day my knight in shining armor came to save me. Patriot.
Despite how scary he looks, he has to be the kindest man I’ve ever met. He not
only rescues damsels in distress, but animals too. Under that hard exterior is
a heart of gold. It doesn’t matter that he’s older than me. The more I get to
know him, the harder I start to fall. But why would a man like him ever want
someone like me? I’m dirty. Damaged. Broken beyond repair. Or am I? After all,
Christmas is a time for miracles.
Patriot
-- From the moment I saw her, she’s had me wrapped around her finger. I’ve done
my best to chase the fear and shadows from her eyes, show her she’s safe. I’ve
taken out nearly every man who ever hurt her, even if she doesn’t know it. And
the two who are still standing won’t be for long. I want to see her smile. Make
her laugh. What better time than Christmas to prove to her life is worth
living? I’ll make it the best she’s ever had!
But
there’s only one thing I want under the tree this year… MaryAnne. She deserves
better. I’m no angel. I’ve killed. Lied. Stolen. And worse. I tell myself
repeatedly to keep my distance… until I can’t. One taste and I know I’ll never
walk away. MaryAnne is mine! And if she won’t listen to me, then maybe my
whacky parrot can convince her. If there’s one thing the African Grey excels
at, it’s talking when he shouldn’t.
WARNING:
Patriot contains scenes of graphic violence and sexual content, bad language,
and abuse. But it also has a happily-ever-after, a tiny feline terror, the most
patient dog on the planet, and a bird who always has to have the last word.

The little kitten pawed at my feet and ankles before bounding
around Patriot and then running from the room. I heard a bark and knew another
of his strays hadn’t liked being disturbed. For such a tough guy, he had a
gentle touch when it came to injured animals. And people.
“I need a few days and I’ll find a place to stay.”
His eyes opened and he leaned in closer until his nose brushed
against mine. My eyes nearly crossed, trying to hold his gaze. Before I knew
what he was doing, his lips slammed against mine, his hand going to my hair. He
grabbed a handful and held me still as he ravaged my mouth. I gripped the sides
of his cut, holding on in case my legs gave out. It was my first real kiss, and
it felt like I was floating, and burning at the same time.
He drew back, chest heaving, as he stared at me. My cheeks felt
like they were on fire and my lips tingled. With anyone else, I’d have been
terrified. But this was Patriot, the man who’d saved me, given me a place to
live, taken care of me. And he’d kissed me.
“F**k,” he muttered again. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
He started to pull away, but I gripped him tighter and held on. My
brain was foggy, and I wasn’t sure I could speak yet. But I knew I didn’t want
him to go. I wasn’t upset he’d kissed me. It was wonderful. He was
wonderful.
“MaryAnne, I’m sorry. After everything you’ve been through, you
don’t need me taking advantage. Christ! I’m twelve years older than you.” He
ran a hand down his face and shook his head.
“Patriot, I didn’t push you away, did I?”
“What are you saying, Little Bit?” he asked.
I felt my cheeks get warmer. “I liked it. I trust you, Patriot.
There’s no one else I’d want to kiss me.”

About Harley Wylde
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.
The
times Harley isn't writing, she's thinking up naughty things to do to her
husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read
and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She's also fond of TV shows and
movies from the 1980's, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990's to today, even
though she'd much rather be reading or writing.

signing events, and other goodies!
"Her characters are
phenomenal and have a lot of depth to them. She is absolutely fantastic at
writing an engaging sexy story. Harley Wylde keeps the words flowing so that
you have to turn the page to see what happens next."
