Fated Under the Moon Blurb

Ariel

After I lost my dad, my roommate, with his tighty-whitey, pizza eating, gaming habits, wasn’t worth staying in Seattle for. So when I’m offered a job at an upscale mansion in the middle of Bum-Fuck-Ohio, I take it. I mean, what do I have to lose?

The answer?

Everything.

Not only do I discover that my exceptionally good-looking, albeit moody, landlord is a werewolf, (A-Freaking-Werewolf!) but get this... and it’s the real kicker, we are fated mates! The lust I feel for him is off the charts, which is odd since I’m human and humans being fated to werewolves is basically unheard of. There’s also the fact that I keep passing out and having these crazy dreams that scare Ryker half to death.

Then, I find out that it’s no coincidence that my boss hired me. It seems everyone knows more about me and the fact that I might not actually be human after all, than I do.

As I learn more about what I am, I’m left with more questions than answers. I do know that if left untrained, I’m dangerous for both Ryker and his pack. I have to fix that and fast!

Intended by the Rose Blurb

Crapity-crap on a candlestick! I messed up and BIG. I trusted a longtime family friend to help me get the answers to questions and to make sure what happened to Ryker's sister never happened to another member of his pack again.

I quickly realized that I'd bitten off more than any wolf, or even any vamp, could chew. 

First, being without my mate physically cost me, not to mention the whirlwind I felt in my heart. 

Secondly, I found myself in an unknown land, trapped with no way of getting back to my mate.

Third, a total-pompous douche canoe named Cain believes that I'm prophesied to be his wife, which is impossible because, news flash—I'm already fated. 

Cain will do anything in his power to use my mate against me. Now that I know what I am and what I can do, I'll do anything in my power to make sure that Ryker's safe.

Lincoln was my addiction. He was the only man I’d ever been with. Loving him had been like a drug, complete with all the nasty side effects. When I had him, it felt like the greatest high. When I didn’t, it was like my world fell apart. Over the years, I’d realized so much of my time had been a craving-praying for the next hit. Was there a support group for this—In Love Anonymous? If so, I suppose I was working through my steps. I admitted I had a problem, and I wasn’t using anymore. Maybe I was delusional that there was a cure for this kind of sickness?

I met the love of my life at fifteen. He left for the Army when I was sixteen. We dated long distance. Made love for the first time on leave. We married on leave too. So much of our life had been spent apart, so when Linc made a decision that took him away from me for years, sending him to prison, I was done. How many times could our life be put on hold? I knew I deserved to live my life with a partner; not love one who couldn’t stick around.

Now, Lincoln is out and I have to finally put an end to this… to us. A family tragedy forces us together again and we confront what tore us apart. I’m faced with the hardest decision of my life. Should I forgive or should I finally let go and let him have this last goodbye?

Explosive, the next standalone in Abby McCarthy's emotional and action-packed Bleeding Scars MC series is NOW LIVE!

 

Alejandra

There’s
been one truth in my life-one thing that I’ve always known. My body is not my
own. I’m a bargaining chip, used by my family’s business to seal a deal or
impress a client. I’ve never had a real family, no mother to wipe my tears.
Sure, I have a sperm donor, but he’s only seen me a handful of times and not a
single time was he fatherly. One day, he shows up and offers me a gift, my
freedom for informing on my brother. I had no clue I even had a brother. I want
to know him, but the idea of freedom is something I’ve longed for.

Ace

As a former Marine, going into a hostile situation and retrieving a target was a
specialty I excelled at until I was captured and held as a POW, cutting my
military career short. Adjusting as a civilian was difficult until I met my
“brothers” and we formed The Bleeding Scars MC. When my VP, Gunner, discovers
he has a sister, I know it has to be me that saves her. Not only do I need to
rescue her for Gunner, but once I see her picture and learn how she’s been
locked up most of her life, I can relate to the lost look in her eyes. Rescuing
Alejandra is the hardest mission I’ve ever had to accomplish.

No
war has ever been won alone. The battles we face will be more than a little
difficult, they’ll be explosive. Once the dust has settled and the war is finally
over, I know deep in my soul, that it will all be worth it.

The sun was beginning to set, and the sky had started to turn. I
returned to where Alejandra was still sitting in that contemplative way,
absently staring out at nothing. 

I sat behind her with one leg on each side of her. It was
intimate, more so than I deserved, more so than I should've taken. We'd shared
two kisses—one she took because she was proving something to herself and the
other I took because I was proving something to her. Who was I kidding? I was
scared out of my mind that something could've happened to her because she
didn't listen to me by staying put, so I had no other choice than to kiss her.
I wanted—no; I needed to feel her lips against mine. It was either that or turn
her around and spank her. She should've done what I told her. There's no way
she should ever put her life in jeopardy for me. If something had happened to
her... No, I couldn't go there. 

"Where are you?" I whispered to her, hoping to pull
her thoughts out of whatever darkness they seemed to be stuck in. 

She sat motionlessly and eventually let her head fall against my
shoulder. I couldn't help but smell the faint scent of flowers in her hair.
Moments ticked by where all we could hear was the lapping of waves against the
shore. It took her some time to answer me, and as I waited, the sun slowly
began to sink into the sky.

"I'm not sure. I'm out there on a boat in the sea. I'm in a
room by myself waiting. I'm bound with leather cuffs, designed to keep my skin
free from marks."

She was baring her pain to me, and all I could think to do was
remind her she was free. Remind her we were almost home and almost safe. We
would make it.

"You're here with me. You're not back there. You're free,
Alejandra. They'll never touch you again.

Excerpt

"I sleep like shit. I have for a long time, but I'm not exactly sure what the trigger is. The VA gave me sleeping pills, but I won't take them. I'd rather get up and work out than not have my senses about me."

"What's the VA?" I was guessing it was a doctor's office, but I really was unsure.

Ace tilted his head to the side, and even though it was still dark, I could see his features soften. "You know, sometimes you seem like such an old soul, and then other times, there is this innocence about you." 

I didn't say anything to that. What could I say? I surely didn't feel innocent. 

"The VA is a hospital for veterans. I'm just a dime a dozen there. Every soldier has some type of wound, whether it's mental or physical, if they've been in the thick of it, then they’ve got scars.

"Your MC name?" I questioned because I'd wondered for some time why Bleeding Scars, but this conversation made me feel like I got it a little. 

"Yeah, babe. Shane, Gunner, and I, we all got a past. A past that's left its mark but made us who we are. Our MC is about knowing our past and doing what the fuck we want, the way we want, because of it. The thing with scars, though, they leave a reminder not to make the same mistake twice. You look down at your scar and know you did something to mark you, you're not doing that a second time."

"Wow, that's pretty deep for bikers," I joked, running my free hand up and down his chest, stroking my fingertips along his scar. 

Ace grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. "You want deep from a biker, you got to go deep. You might not like everything you find, but it won't matter. You see me and my imperfections, you know I'm going to do everything I can to learn from my past and make sure what we're building is solid. I'm going to get deep in you, Princess, in every fuckin' way possible."

He was kissing me. It was deep and hard. His tongue plunged into my mouth. Swirling. Creating desires, feelings, and want.

God, how I wanted him. 

I'd never wanted anyone. 

But so help me, I wanted him.

Hi, my beautiful readers. I'm still here. Still alive and still writing. I know I haven't published in almost two years. Last year sucked. That's my reason. It just blew big donkey balls.

But this year, 2020, it's going to rock!

I'd been on a nerve pain medication (non-narcotic) and I missed two doses in a row. I sat down at my computer and I wrote. I wrote like I hadn't in a long time. It felt good, no more than good, it felt amazing.

That night I took my medicine and the next day I sat down to write and I yawned and just couldn't. So I didn't take my medicine again. So, drats I'm in some pain, but I'll deal because, after that day, I have been working my toosh off!! I finished writing Explosive and it's currently with Beta readers. I have the Lay All Your Books on Me signing in March and my goal is to have Explosive published and out by then!

The signing is in Cleveland. Cleveland is where I'm from. (I feel like I hear a Bone Thugs in Harmony song in my head when I say that. It's okay if you have no idea what I'm talking about.)

Explosive is the second book in The Bleeding Scars MC. It is Ace and Alejandra's story. Add it to your Goodreads! Hang Le is working on the cover. She's done all of mine and she is amazing.

Since I'm on a writing roll, I'm also working on The Last Goodbye. It is sitting at 20k, but not for long. I'm about to slay this book! I added that to Goodreads too so you know I'm seriously going to publish this year!! Add this to your TBR as well! Goodreads Link.

Also, I'm on an awesome weight loss journey. I know maybe you don't care, but this, like my title, says is my year! I'm currently down 24lbs since October! That's a huge number! I'm doing keto and if you have any questions please join me in my reader group. I talk about that sometimes. My group is called Abby's Awesome Allies.

So, there you have it! I'm going to put out books! I'm going to get to a place where hopefully pain doesn't bug me as much! I'm going to rock 2020. Join me in the journey!

With Love, Abby McCarthy

Blurb: Marie:
I married a monster -- a member of a motorcycle club. I was okay with him blurring the lines until the lines he crossed turned against me. He wasn’t always a monster, or he hid it well. I wouldn’t have married him if I’d known. By the time his true colors showed, I was pregnant with no way out. Until one day, years of planning paid off, and I was able to run away with my daughter.
I found my footing in the foothills of Pennsylvania, thinking I would be far from any MC. I was wrong.
