Aces High MC – Dakotas Book Two
February 14, 2019.
I was sent to South Dakota with a tattoo artist, biker named Tango in order to keep me safe from whatever mess my brother had gotten himself into this time.
Tango was a stupid name for a tough biker who was supposed to be able to protect me. How was a man named after a dance supposed to do anything to keep me safe?
Stupid name. Sexy biker though.
Lucky for me, I had been dead wrong about pretty much everything.
Wrong about his name.
Wrong about his ability to take care of me.
I wasn’t wrong about how sexy he was though. My perpetually soaked panties were all the evidence anyone needed that Tango could dance all over my body any time, anywhere if only I was all that he wanted.
Unfortunately for me he seemed to be in a weird relationship with his buddies Whiskey, Fox, and their girl Amy. No way was I signing on to be the lettuce in that screwed up sexual sandwich.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
I might need protection from an entire MC, but I did not need to share my man. Ever.
Then again...
I’d been wrong about everything else so far.
Maybe I was wrong about this too.
The Infinite Something
T.I.E. Book One
Available Now!
I thought I could fall in love with an up and coming rock star until he betrayed me. The lying, cheating, scheming piece of crap bassist for my brother’s band destroyed my faith in men.
Funny how another musician saved me from humiliation, became my best friend during my internship with his band’s tour, and ended up winning my heart despite the fact that I had sworn to never go there again.
Too bad things couldn’t stay so simple. One jealous ex-girlfriend, one crazy infatuation later, and I became public enemy number one. Then I waited to see if he would remain my savior, or prove that I was right the first time around… You can’t trust a rocker. Why the hell had I done so twice?
He was the reason for the second chance, and my reason for everything that followed.
*Note: The Infinite Something is over 100k words, a stand-alone book (future books in the series involve other people) and is intended for adult readers due to strong language, sexual situations, and some violence.

I was a stowaway, on tour with a rock band. We were supposed to be on tour with them legitimately - my brother as the bass player for the opening act - Seduction and Sacrifice - and me as their merch girl. Then my brother's band imploded, and they lost their spot. We lost our jobs, our apartment, and almost all hope before he managed to get us on with the road crew.
I pretended to be a one of the guys in order to go unnoticed. It worked until he saw me, saw through my disguise, and then changed my world.

That was no dude dropping stuff by my kit. Too slight. Too perfect. Too beautiful for anyone to mistake her as anything but the feminine perfection she was; yet these morons on the road crew had referred to her as a dude.
One look from her stopped me cold. One smile of hers stopped my heart. One laugh brought it all back into focus.
One test changed everything.
Forever.
JDRF Donation Thanks
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION!
This is a special thank you to my readers for purchasing this (and any other Aces High MC books), because part of your purchase goes to charity! As many of you know, my youngest daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic. She was diagnosed in Dec. 2012, after nearly dying from being DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis).
DKA is what happens when your body can’t use the sugar in the body properly and ends up making acids with it instead. Those acids build up and will eventually kill the person if left untreated. We have struggled and fought every day since to make sure she has a normal life despite all the blood sugar checks and things she has to attach to her body (or all the shots she has to take) in order to survive. We’ve managed all this time to never have her get sick enough to require hospitalization or even a trip to the ER (for diabetic related issues). I credit JDRF and Palmetto Children’s Hospital in Columbia, SC (where she was diagnosed) for that. They gave us a diabetic bible to live by. We received a small backpack full of information that we still have, and use, to this day. It keeps us on track, and has given my daughter a better chance of not having complications later on in life from Diabetes.
So, with that in mind, I am donating 10% of all royalties from every single one of my Aces High MC World books to JDRF on the anniversary of the first Aces High book to be published (Dancing With Danger – released March 2018). So, thank you for your purchase, because a little bit of what you spent on this book will go towards helping another child, like my daughter, to live successfully with Diabetes until a cure is found! You will see a very special newsletter go out in both March and April concerning the amounts donated, so be sure to sign up for that on the Moonlit Dreams Publications website. http://www.moonlitdreams.org
Acknowledgements
This book was brought to you by coffee – thank you especially to Bones Coffee Co. – and Strawberry Twizzlers! No, seriously, I think I have an addiction, okay several addictions! Whatever. Don’t judge me! ;)
Thank you to Elizabeth, you were a lifesaver when I needed one! The same goes out to my little brother, Josh! You guys rock! ☺
My musical inspiration for this book was sans lyrics, because sometimes I’ll do stupid things like start typing the lyrics instead of what I’m supposed to be writing. I might also be known to get so involved in the music I start singing (horribly) and dancing (mediocrely) and forget to write. That being said, this time I turned to an all-acoustic station, Acoustic Calm on Spotify for my background noise while I was writing.
To my older brother (remaining nameless) – who didn’t teach me shit that I didn’t already know about the MC world, because he knows how to keep his mouth shut. He did, however, introduce me to the weak link of an MC who LOVED to talk. While I learned a little bit, and definitely developed a character (not in this book) based around the weak link, likes-to-talk-too-much, biker I wanted to also point out that everything in the Aces High and Sierra High Evermore books is one hundred percent fictional. If the names resemble any road names for bikers you know – just pat them on the back because they’re obviously cool dudes! That being said, these characters are not them!
I started writing the S.H.E Series two long years before I had interaction with an MC on a personal level simply because the grittier, male dominated world was a curiosity to me, and I wanted to work out a way to turn it on its ass. ;) Why? Because girls can be rebels too – bitches! That’s right, I said it!
I think I did what I set out to do with the S.H.E. Series and it’s strong women. The men, even in their domineering, caveman ways are just as intriguing though so I couldn’t stop writing and that’s where the Aces High Books came into play. Hopefully, you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing them.
As always, thanks to you – the reader! Without your support I wouldn’t be able to take the time I do to carve out these worlds to get lost in for a little while. Thank you for your purchases, support, reviews, and comments. They are all appreciated. Mostly, thank you for your patience, because real life can be a bitch sometimes, especially when the day job gets in the way of writing time and deadlines.
My children – You guys are the best! Your support has meant the world to me over the years. I’m so glad I’ve been able to show you that dreams can come true, and life is a battle, but it’s so worth it when you get those wins! ;) I am so proud of each and every one of you. You guys are my reason for everything! <3
