A heartbroken divorcée.

And a former concierge who doesn’t take no for an answer.
Can their unconventional arrangement survive against all odds?
Freshly free from a messy divorce, and hell bent on putting herself first for a change, Penny wants to cut loose and have fun with a local biker who has caught her eye. She’s willing to overlook the fact that he is part of the notorious outlaw motorcycle club, the Black Coyotes MC, she wants no strings fun. Well, fun and something else, too. She is desperate to have a baby, and willing to go it alone, she just needs help with the actual creating the baby part. Little does she know that the biker who has caught her eye is an alcoholic, drowning in his own demons, relapsing, and not in a position to meet her needs.
Much to her surprise, his answer is to hand her over to his MC brother, Nix, requesting him to show her a good time until he can sober up and recover. Penny goes along with the harebrained scheme, determined to get what she wants from the arrangement after all. But Penny doesn’t realize that Nix comes with baggage, too. His former life as a cult member, but heaviest of all, his partner in crime, and, it turns out, in the bedroom, too, Ash. And Ash isn’t nicknamed the Dictator for nothing, he lays down the law and pushes them all to the edge of their limits and beyond.

Excerpt
“Oh God, I didn’t order the extra large! Did I? Now I’m doubting myself…” Penny trailed off as the take-out pizzas were distributed around the room.
“Penny, this extra large, double loaded ham and mushroom has to be yours sweetie, everyone else has got theirs…” Rita rummaged in the box. “Oh and there’s a large milkshake here, too. Who ordered the milkshake?” Rita yelled out.
“Penny will have it.” Lyle’s voice came from the sofa opposite. Penny looked up and over at them. Ash was perched on the edge of the sofa, grinning at Penny. There was Nix, reclining back, legs loose and spread unnecessarily wide. Then Lyle, arm over the back of the sofa, over the back of Nix almost, hand on his thigh, looking like a king on his throne. They were watching Penny and smirking. All three of them. She almost shook her head to herself. Each man was so strong, and yet so fragile. Flawed and yet perfect at the same time. All together, a fighting pack without rival. No one could best them. Ash was clever, Nix was brave and strong, Lyle was wise. Each with their own demons and their own superpowers, too. Lyle was haunted by his PTSD from his past, he doubted himself, thought so little of himself. Nix had this burning rage that couldn’t be extinguished, rage at his upbringing, rage at himself. And Ash, so confident and self assured on the surface, yet so afraid of being left alone and abandoned. And her, what did she bring, what were her demons and superpowers? Either way, it worked. They melded and meshed together, it was getting harder to see where one person ended and the other began.
They’d set her up with this pizza order, ordering far too much. She huffed and rolled her eyes. Lyle winked, Nix blew her a pouty kiss and Ash bit his lip. Oh those boys were such trouble.
Despite herself, Penny smiled. “Fine, great, I’ve already gained a few pounds, why not just let myself go completely?” she joked, setting the pizza down on her lap as she bounced onto the sofa between April and Sophie.
She’d been a regular at the MC for the last few weeks now. And they’d all been in Lyle’s bed. Every night. It helped with his night terrors. Generally, they had sex late and so Lyle was too tired or not in the right sleep cycle to have them. Or, she often woke up when he was beginning to get one. He’d start mumbling, he’d be burning hot to the touch, his heart racing. Either she or one of the guys would wake up, too, and try to soothe Lyle back to a calm state. So far, it had worked. She felt safe, too, knowing Ash and Nix were there. She knew Lyle would never mean to harm her, but a wayward fist of his could send her flying. He was still drinking. There was always a bottle of some liquor or other under his sink cabinet. He topped up the beer bottles he was allowed to drink with something. Ash and Nix had seen him do it now, too. But they tried to start the evening's frivolities early so Lyle wouldn’t have time to drink it all before he passed out, worn out from sex rather than from the liquor.
Her tight top rode up a little as she sat, exposing an inch or two of her midriff. She tugged it down but in doing so, she practically exposed her boobs from the neckline of her top.
Lyle flashed her a smile and a wink. “That’s the deal, Penny, baby.”
She smiled back and took a slurp on the milkshake.
She didn’t waver when she looked him in the eye. She was all in. She was playing for keeps.
