About the author

I have been an avid reader since I was taught to read. I was the oldest of six children and reading was a getaway for me. When my sister became sick she encouraged me to write my first book. That was in 2015 and I released my first book in March 2016. I love to read, write and share books. I am a wife, a mom, and a grandma so the only problem I have is finding the time to get it done. I have been married to my husband for 23 years and he is my person and strongest supporter.

Our heroine is described as a badass and in fact has become a crybaby who accepts whatever shit the hero does to her. While she mourns the end of their relationship with alcohol and tears, he is already having sex with a club whore. He didn't wait a day. And then he was still rubbing the club whore on the heroine's face. And she takes him back! Another heroine with no backbone and who turns pudding in the hero's hands. Aff!

The only contention between us is that Whiskey wants a house full of children. I don’t mean one or two. Nope, my woman wants six children close together. I don’t want children at all. I never have, and I don’t think I ever will. This is the only thing that might break the two of us apart.

Dad used to have a wife and a woman on the side. I’m not the kind of woman to be the little woman at home, and I have bluntly let Seal know that.

I need to let life just carry on and the best way to do that is find a woman to take my mind off Whiskey. I may not love the woman, that’s impossible, but she’ll take my mind off Whiskey for a while.

“Are you sure you’re ready to go there, brother?” I look at Trapper. “There are no claims as of this afternoon. I am a free man. This is Sensa, the new woman in our club.” I look at Sensa. “This is Trapper who is butting into my personal business. He’s our VP.”

Whiskey has nothing else to say about who I’m with. I wasn’t enough for her. She has little girl dreams and I need a grown woman to take care of my needs.”

“I guess that’s true.” I look at Sensa. “Let’s go.” I turn and leave the room. It’s time to make sure that Whiskey gets over me.

Seal… I walk out of my room with my arm around Sensa and walk her back to the common room. I take her to the bar and kiss her cheek. I see Max, Ryder, Liam, and Grinder walking in the door from the side of my eye.

I look at Sensa and I know she’ll be waiting on me when I come out.

“Is that the reason that you took the new woman back to your room this afternoon and kept company with her?” Trapper asks.

Seal, if you flaunt that other woman in front of my girl, there are going to be issues between us. I can’t say who she dates and doesn’t date but I can damn well tell all of you that I will hurt any damn one of you that hurts my girl.”

“My cock will go where it wants. I won’t flaunt anything in front of Whiskey but I’m not hiding it either. It’s time we both move on like adults.” I’m finished with this subject. “Anything else?”

When I saw Seal with Sensa my heart shattered again but then it felt like it froze. It’s like it has had all the pain that it can take, and it quit feeling.

If I go back to the clubhouse, I will end up with a bottle and Sensa in my room. It’s what I have been doing to forget the woman that I want but can’t have. I think I have made a big mistake.

My heart shatters at the thought of Seal with another woman. I won’t let him see it though. I had heard the rumors but hearing it from Seal himself has me on the verge of losing control of my tears.

“You take care of Sensa and let me worry about me. I told you that if you ever touched another woman that we were over and today let me see just how much that is true. It doesn’t matter to me that we were broken up. I can remember what I was doing that night. I was trying to piece my heart back together and you were making sure that I would stay away from you. I love you Seal but I am no one’s rug to wipe their dirty feet on. I won’t be the little woman that is always the last to know. You broke up with me before you took up with Sensa and for that I thank you, but don’t worry about me anymore. I’m not yours to worry about.”

I hurt Whiskey in the one way that she couldn’t accept or forgive. My only thoughts I had was to fuck Whiskey out of my system, as if I could. It only left me full of guilt and remorse. I used Sensa and I hurt the woman I love. That’s not right for anyone.

At least if you had feelings for her, then there would be a reason why you left me behind like yesterday’s trash. You threw me away and moved on to someone that meant nothing.

Whiskey is in love with Seal, who is a member of her fathers MC. She has just found her father, and her family is large and loving, When Seal helps her father find and move them to his home, Seal also falls for Whiskey in a big way.
They are new to loving each other,but they have different opinions about children, she wants a houseful of natural, and he wants to adopt because of his family’s bloodline.

Everyone comes together to take down this threat and in the process the family bond is stronger then ever, just like Seal and Whiskeys love for each other.

Seal and Whiskey are a couple in love until they weren't, even though they loved each other Seal had a serious hangup about children due to his father and as Whiskey wants them they split up, heartbroken they try to move on but Seal's father is back and is after whoever Seal loves.

Of course there is more to it but I'm not one for spoilers, I'll leave that to the reader to find out but you will love it.

I loved this story though I could have smacked Whiskey and Seal upside their heads a couple of times. I can't wait for Ryder's story

Well worth the long wait.

Have been waiting for this book since 2019. It was well worth the wait. Whiskey and Seal have to overcome and except that they want two different things in life or they will not make it. Plus having to find a way to keep their family safe. Great second book in this series.

4 stars

Good storyline. Great characters. Interweaving the characters and plots like a master. The only glaring problem i feel is the lack of sexual content for a mc romance. There is sexual content but i just feel it's lacking and this causes disconnect from the couple being believable. However, the writing and plotlines are fabulous.

Young independent lady

Whiskey is her own person. She loves hard and gave up, but her man stops and realizes the most important thing. Lots of angst and emotional in this story. They both compliment each other from the beginning. Love the story line

[Becky Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too doing before the main couple gets together

This would of been better if it take until the 80% mark for Whiskey and Seal to get back together and to have sex for the first time. It was just a lot of things going on at TBE same time and it was distracting at times.

Seal and Whiskey story took me on an emotional ride from the first page. Seals past is coming back and is putting all his love ones lives at risk. Nothing will stop him from protecting Whiskey. I can’t wait for the next book!!

Another 5 star read from Vera Quinn!

I've been pretty excited about this book and I'm certainly not disappointed. It'll have you feeling all sorts of things.
The club is in a he*#uva mess and it seems to come from all sides. These threatening forces are about to find out the lengths the Deacons Of Peril will go to for their own.  Seals biggest concern though is the love of his life, Whiskey. That alone puts a target on her back but it also means that nothing, absolutely nothing will stop Seal from protecting her.

[Debbie Earley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy smokes Seal and Whiskey's story took me on one heck of a ride. There were moment's I wanted to hit the man upside his head, but he redeemed himself any I couldn't be happier for them. I read this in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. If any two people are ment to be together it's Seal and Whiskey. Their story is action packed. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath and the bombshell at the end holy cow. I really need the next book in this series.

[Latifa Morrisette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seal and Whiskey's story will frustrate the news out you. There were a few times I wished I could reach in and knock seal upside the head. Their story was definitely worth waiting for and I can't wait to read Ryder's story.
