Lucy

With my law degree and a life in New York, I convinced myself I'd moved on.

But the second I saw Grudge again, all rough edges and rage, I couldn't breathe.

He's now a biker forged in fury, and looks at me like I'm responsible.

Maybe I am.

After all, I divorced him the day he went to prison for protecting me.

I thought I came back for my family's sake.

But I forgot how it felt to be wanted—to be his.

And now I’m caught between the life I built…

and the man who still makes me ache.

Grudge

Nothing prepared me for her walking back into my world.

My ex-wife. My weakness.

The woman with secrets in her eyes and that mouth I still dream about.

She says she’s not mine anymore.

But I see the way she trembles when I get too close.

She can lie to herself all she wants—

I’ve waited eight years for a second chance...at love or revenge, I'm not sure.

Because the lies run deep between us, and the trouble coming for us both is about to blow everything wide open.

AUTHOR BIO

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance books!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk about hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from you any time.

Title: The Heart We Guard

Series: Iron Outlaws MC: Colorado #4

Author: S. Cole

Genre: MC Romance

Tropes: Forced Proximity

Accidental Pregnancy, Hurt/Comfort

Release Date: August 7, 2025

BLURB

From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes a forced proximity, grumpy versus guarded, electrifying small town MC romance.

Greer

The night I quit as a surgeon, a dying man told me a secret I wasn’t supposed to hear.

Now someone wants me quiet—and a biker bleeding out in the parking lot might be my only escape.

I didn't plan to take him home and remove his bullets on my dining table.

Yet, for seven days, he’s the calm in my chaos.

We break rules. Cross lines.

Then he’s gone.

But five weeks later, I find him at the clubhouse—and hand him a note with two words that change everything.

Butcher

I should’ve bled out.

Instead, I ended up in the care of a woman with haunted eyes and hands that didn’t shake—even when mine did.

But Dr. Greer Hansen is too soft for a man like me. Too bright. Too good.

So I leave while she sleeps.

Yet five weeks later, she finds me with news that hits harder than any bullet ever could.

And the only way to keep her breathing… is to drag her into my world.

Even if she hates me for it.

Even if it costs me the club.

She walked into my world by accident, and now I'll rip it apart to keep what's mine safe.

EXCERPT

“Can you turn that down a bit?” Greer asks. “I’m trying to concentrate.”

“Sorry, Doc.”

“You know,” she says, pushing her chair away from the table and walking towards me, “films like this are part of the problem.”

I glance up at her. “And what problem is that, Greer?”

“Eighty percent of violent crime is committed by men. And there’s a whole”—she gestures in a circle with her hands—“infrastructural, societal, patriarchal…whatever the right word is…mess that causes it.”

I roll my eyes. “Doc, I’m not drunk enough or high enough for that kind of conversation.”

“Doesn’t make it less true though.” She reaches for the tape holding down the gauze over my abdomen wound and lifts one corner to peer beneath it. “It’s healing well.” The words are muttered. Like they aren’t for me but for her. “Women have been cleaning up men’s trail of destruction since time began.”

I bite down on the grin that’s threatening. “Since time began, huh?”

“Yeah. I mean, let’s take white women in the middle ages. They were only ever involved in war because of their husband’s alliances. And after battle, they’d be sent out to steal anything of value from dead or fallen soldiers. They had to nurse the wounded, but not be the doctor, because god forbid a woman gets educated. With the exception of a rare few like Joan of Arc and Margaret of Anjou and Aoife MacMurrough, that’s all they could do. And there are even more examples around the world. Like Fu Hao, a Chinese Empress, and Ahhotep, Queen of Egypt”

“But violence is a man’s game. If someone broke into your house now, I would expect to fight off whoever it is, and I’d expect you to hide.”

Greer laughs at that. “For the record, if someone broke into this house right now, I would not go and hide. That’s what women do in movies, and then they end up being dragged from beneath the bed by one foot and then kidnapped or worse. I’d find a weapon. Your gun. A knife from the kitchen. Whatever. And I’d fight. And, also for the record, I would be able to do everything so much better and faster than you. I’d beat you to your gun right now.”

I like how feisty she gets. Pink flushes her cheeks, and outrage sparks in her eyes. Bet it would be fun to tame a woman like that. “So, you’re more of a Joan of Arc and whoever those other broads were?”

“Broads?” Greer’s mouth drops open for a moment. “Broads?”

I simply grin.

“Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England, was known as the she-wolf queen. She helped end the Hundred-Year War and led the Lancastrians into the famed Battle of Tewkesbury. She dared to rule at a time when it wasn’t seemly for the queen to be anything other than the consort of the king. And Aoife, also known as Red Eva…she led her troops into battle in a Norman society that was not ready for the Celtic warrior. They were not broads. They were incredible women who refused to conform to the misogyny and patriarchy of their time and place.”

When she’s done, her chest heaves like she just ran a sprint. She’s not a particularly curvy woman, but I still find myself transfixed by the rapid rise of her small yet round breasts.

“Hate to point out the obvious, but they were each just one woman on the battlefield. I’m guessing their armies were wholly male.”

“I wasn’t there, so I wouldn’t know.”

Her answer makes me laugh. “Jesus, Greer. Sure. None of us were there. For all we know, none of our historical records are true. But if you had to make a hypothesis, you’d agree they were likely all men.”

She shrugs. “Fine. Probably. They all were. But they relied on their leader for training, payment, food, and advanced military tactics and precision. And they⁠—”

“Fine. I get it. They provided.”

Greer lets out a sound akin to a growl. “No. Listen, if we were talking some famed male knight leading troops, you’d be game to discuss their strategic might, their fearlessness, how brave they were. But a woman leader, you’re like, oh, think about all the men who fought.”

“You’re a feisty little thing when you get going.”

“And you’re an asshole.” She glares at me for a second. “Actually, I don’t know you well enough to declare you an asshole just yet. But this conversation is putting you well on the path.”

I start to laugh but have to throttle it and hold a cushion across my abdomen as I do. “Only you could make an apology become a non-apology so quickly.”

“I wasn’t apologizing. I’m sorry if I made you think I was. Oh, and that was an apology.”

I chuckle again, and she smirks, a self-satisfied expression that says she somehow just won our conversation. “I like you, Greer. You’re a good sparring partner. A little on the wrong side of the rules, but not enough that you aren’t liked by those who are rule abiding. You make brave calls without thinking of yourself first. I was worried when Smoke dumped me in your car. Wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. But I like you. Think my club would too.”

Title: The Fire We Crave

Series: Iron Outlaws MC: Colorado #3

Author: S. Cole

Genre: MC Romance

Tropes: Age Gap, Grumpy/Sunshine

Enemies to Lovers

Release Date: June 5, 2025

BLURB

From USA Today best selling author, Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying small town MC, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers romance.

Quinn

Two things happened on my thirteenth birthday. My older sister went missing. And I told Smoke Callahan, the Iron Outlaws Road Captain, that it was his fault she was gone.

Fourteen years later, I still hate him.

But hate doesn’t keep me safe when the Bratva sets its sights on me.

I need protection. The kind only a ruthless, broken man like Smoke can provide.

So I make him an offer. I’ll help him recover from the burns that nearly cost him his life. In return, he keeps me breathing.

It should be simple. It isn’t.

Because the more time I spend in his orbit, the more I see the man behind the scars. The one who carries a past as heavy as mine. And when he looks at me, it’s not hatred I see in his dark eyes anymore.

It’s something far more dangerous.

Smoke

Quinn Moran was just a kid when she came at me, fists flying, blaming me for her sister’s disappearance. I let her. I deserved it.

Now she’s all grown up—sharp-tongued, stubborn as hell, and standing in my cabin, asking for my protection.

I should say no. I should send her away.

But I don’t. Because even if she still hates me, I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt her.

Even if it means she learns the truth.

Even if it means she never forgives me.

Because she was never meant to be mine. But that won’t stop me from taking her.

EXCERPT

Smoke’s eyes drop to his chest, and he places his hand over mine.

“You’re okay, Smoke. So am I. It’s all okay.” The words are softly spoken. Soothing, like you would for a frightened child.

My heart hammers loudly in my chest, and it’s not just the adrenaline of the situation.

It’s the way I feel Smoke’s heartbeat beneath my palm. It’s the way his hand sits over mine, covering it completely, so strong and warm. It’s the way his thumb rubs over my fingers and the way his eyes darken with heat and arousal.

It’s his presence. The way we feel so…joined. His eyes raise to my lips as he runs his tongue over his lower lip.

Neither of us moves.

The world continues around us. Birds chirp, cicadas do their thing, but we’re stuck in a vortex. Swirling. Chaotic. All consuming.

“The prospects need to be protecting you,” he says finally.

But his voice is gruff, layered with nuance it’s impossible to interpret.

“And he was. Who was protecting you?”

“I don’t need protecting.”

I shake my head sadly. “I think you do.”

Smoke cups my cheeks before I have time to process, his hold firm.

“Fuck it,” he mutters, more to himself than to me, I think.

Then, he dips his head and kisses me.

And it’s everything I ever read about.

It’s angry yet filled with the kind of passion that sweeps you up and knocks you over into the tumble of a huge wave of emotion.

My treacherous body capitulates to every small movement.

His lips stroke my mouth; I open.

His hands wrap around my waist; I throw mine around his neck.

I struggle to see anything beyond the way he feels against me.

When I step up against him, his cock lengthens and hardens against my stomach. His whole body envelops me, showing just how disparate our size difference is.

He doesn’t ask. He takes. But I’m wholeheartedly a willing participant. If anything, I want more. Every part of my body meets Smoke. If he began to strip my clothes to take me on the parched ground, I’d let him.

“Quinn,” he mutters against my lips as his hands roam my body, familiarizing themselves with my shape.

I’m gentle where he’s injured, but I slide my hand beneath his cut, and I’m immersed in the scent of leather and tobacco and him.

“Shit. No,” Smoke says suddenly, lightly gripping my wrists before pushing me away from him.

The shift in his expression from need to disgust churns my stomach.

“I’m sorry,” I say, almost on autopilot, even though I’m not a hundred percent sure what I’m sorry for.

Hell, I’m not even sure how I fell headfirst into that kiss.

Smoke shakes his head. “Not your fault. Just—we can’t do that again.”

Unable to come up with anything else to say, I blurt one word: “Okay.”

Four letters that do absolutely nothing to convey the storm raging inside me right now.

“Okay,” he repeats.

But as I watch him stride into the house, ignoring the glass Shane left on the step, I know the fragile truce we were building is broken. And I wonder if we’ll ever truly be okay again.

Title: The Oath We Take

Series: Iron Outlaws MC: Colorado #2

Author: S. Cole

Genre: MC Romance

Tropes: President's Daughter/Enforcer

Hands Off Clause, Forbidden Romance

Grumpy/Sunshine, Breeding Kink

Release Date: March 27, 2025

BLURB

She’s the one woman I can never have. Now, I’m the only man who can keep her alive.

 

Ember

Being the daughter of a motorcycle club president means two things—power and protection.

But it also comes with one unbreakable rule: No biker touches the president's daughter and lives to tell about it.

Which means Hudson "Atom" Addams, the club’s brooding enforcer and the man I’ve loved half my life, will never be mine.

Until the Bratva rolls into town, demanding protection money.

Now, my father is forcing me to accept Atom's protection.

Close quarters. Late nights. And the one man I swore I’d never beg for again.

Atom

Five years ago, the woman of my dreams laid her heart at my feet.

I wanted to claim her. Keep her. Make her mine.

Instead, I let her go.

Butcher’s warning was clear—touch his daughter, and I’d be dead before sunrise.

So I buried my need for her and turned my back.

Now, the Bratva is making a play for her bar. And to make matters worse, she’s got a boyfriend.

I should walk away. I should let her go. But I’m not that strong.

Protecting her means breaking the rules. Claiming her means starting a war.

And I’ll burn this town to the ground before I let her slip away again.
