Today, I’m about to change Ink’s life forever. See, I just found out I’m pregnant. With his baby. I took a home test a few days ago, but I didn’t want to trust just that, so I haven’t said anything to anyone until I could get into the doctor. As of this morning, it’s officially been confirmed that I am indeed carrying Ink’s baby. I’m about six weeks along right now and have to make my decision soon about what I want to do. But, I already know I won’t ever have an abortion. This child is already loved if I truly let myself think about it. I want this, I just don’t know if Ink does.
Ink
We’re all at the clubhouse for Bishop. Tonight is his night. He’s been fully patched in and given his road name, Watcher. It was chosen because he’s always watched out over anyone in the club or anyone he cares about. Especially the ol’ ladies involved in the club.
My mind isn’t here though. It’s on Phoebe. She’s the baby sister of Renegade and Psycho, two of my closest friends, and we’ve been seeing one another for months without anyone knowing about it. It’s not my best move, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.
Phoebe caught my eye a few years ago. She had just returned home for a visit after her second year of college. The first day I saw her, she was wearing a short pair of cut-off shorts, a tank top showing more skin than covering, and sneakers on her feet. Her long dark hair was left flowing down her back while her wide light brown eyes looked at me as if I hung the moon and stars just for her. Phoebe’s skin was tanned, but I didn’t see a single tan line in place, which of course, got my mind wandering to her laying out naked.
It wasn’t until a few months ago that we hooked up for the first time. Now, she’s all I think about when I’m not with her. It’s hard to get away from the club and go to see her because of the shit that’s been going on. But, we make it work when we can and I know she likes her independence. Phoebe doesn’t want to be an ol’ lady or feel as if she’s tied down to any one person. Hell, until her I was all about that life too. Now, I want more.
As the music blares, the alcohol flows, and the babes dance around naked as fuck, my phone begins to vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out and see Phoebe’s name come up on my screen. After looking around, I answer it.
“Hey, what’s goin’ on?” I ask her.
“Um, you’re busy. I can call back,” she says, sounding unsure of herself.
“No. One of the Prospects just got patched in. It’s his party. Give me a minute to get outside,” I tell her, moving quickly through the throng of people filling the common room.
Once I’m away from everyone, I put the phone back to my ear.
“Okay, I’m alone. What’s goin’ on?” I ask again.
“Ink, we need to talk,” she begins. “Um, I just went to the doctor today and had it confirmed. I’m pregnant.”
For a minute, I don’t say a word. Never in my life did I think Phoebe was about to drop a bombshell like this on me.
“Okay. Well, what do you want to do about it?” I ask, not sure of what she’s thinking.
“I’m keeping the baby. I wasn’t sure until earlier today. I’m not asking you for anything at all. Honestly, I’m just telling you so you know,” she rushes out.
“I didn’t say I don’t want to be a part of the baby’s life. In fact, I think we should tell your brothers about us and make things official,” I tell her.
“Ink, slow down. You know how I feel about all that. Especially around the club. And, I know my brothers are going to be pissed as fuck when they find out about this. Please, don’t say a word to anyone. We’ll get together soon and figure things out. For now, enjoy your party and I’ll talk to you soon,” Phoebe says, hanging up the phone before I can say a word to her.
I park my ass on the closest picnic table and think about Phoebe and being so far away from me without anyone there to help her through this. It’s not in my nature to not help people I love or care about. If I’m honest with myself, I do love Phoebe no matter how hard I tried to fight it.
With my decision made, I put my phone in my pocket and strode over to my bike. Phoebe and I are going to figure this shit out now. I’m not waiting and letting her hide away from shit anymore. Her carrying my baby changes everything. I just hope I don’t fucking screw this shit up before it even really begins.

About the Author
Growing up, I was constantly reading anything I could get my hands on. Even if that meant I was reading my grandma’s books that weren’t so age appropriate. I started out reading Judy Blume, then graduated to romance, mainly historical romance, and last year I found an amazing group of Indie authors that wrote MC books. Instantly I fell in love with these books.
For a long time, I’ve wanted to write. I just never had the courage to go through with actually doing it. During a book release party, I mentioned that I wanted to write and I received encouragement from an amazing author. So, I took a leap and wrote my first book. Even though this amazing journey is just starting for me, I wouldn’t have even started if it weren’t for a wonderful group of authors and others that I’ve met along the way.
I am a mother of three children. Only one girl in the bunch! My family and friends mean the world to me and I’d be lost without them. Including new friends that I’ve met along the way. I’ve lived in New York my whole life, either in Upstate or the Southern Tier. I love it during the summer, spring, and fall. But, not so much during the winter. I hate driving in snow with a passion!
When I’m not hanging out with my family/friends, reading, or writing, you can find me listening to music. I love almost all music! Or, I’m watching a NASCAR race.
I look forward to meeting new friends, even if I’m extremely shy!

I have been reading since I was two and half years old. It didn’t matter to me what it was, I just wanted to read. I was the kid who loved when we had quiet reading in school and there was never a situation where I did not have a book within my reach. I read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett when I was in the second grade. It was the first time I really got lost in a story and I have been doing it ever since. Now I get lost in the worlds of Lora Leigh, Maya Banks, Shayla Black, Erin Osborne, and Kayce Kyle to name just a few.
I decided that I wanted to write my own stories a few years ago but didn’t feel like I was good enough. On a road trip with Kayce Kyle and Liberty Parker they encouraged me that I would be worth at least trying. After throwing away four of five attempts, Erin Osborne made me promise to let her read it before I trashed anything, that grew into this book.
I am a mother of two adult children of my own and a daughter that I have claimed as mine. I have two adorable twin granddaughters who have picked up my love of reading. I also have the world’s most handsome grandson! We all are living in the great state of Texas, but I have lived in lots of places, from the East Coast to Texas.
If I am not writing or reading you will find me watching mo
vies with the girls or my guilty pleasure, reality TV.
I look forward to meeting new friends, you can find me on Instagram, and Facebook!
