Title: Tiny Problem
Series: Riot MC Biloxi Series
Author: Karen Renee
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: May 23, 2023
 
★★★★★ Amazon Review – “Instalove + Riot Biloxi MC = Hours of Fun Reading”
★★★★★ Sexy Sirens Book Blog – “Outstanding addition to the series!!!”
★★★★★ Beautifully READ – “I loved this book from page one (which is usually the case with the author’s books).”
 

As a single mom of a teenage boy, I work hard to keep life routine and regular. From the moment I meet Tiny, a member of the Riot MC, my whole life is turned upside down. When this hulking, sexy biker whisks me away from a farewell party to protect me from my abusive ex-boyfriend, the last place I expect to be is inside Tiny’s studio apartment.
 
It’s the best option to keep me safe, but there’s only one bed. He refuses my offer to sleep on the floor. Having just met me, he makes it clear we’ll just sleep.
 
We make it through the night, but I’m fighting my attraction to him.
 
He insists on following me home in the morning, except a police officer is waiting at my car to question us. A bizarre instinct kicks in and I kiss him to make the police think we’re an item.
 
It’s a ruse. A ploy.
It’s also perfect. And delicious.
 
The officer retreats, but Tiny swoops in – my kiss ignited something in him.
What should have been just one night at his apartment turns into a whirlwind affair.
 
He’s protective and determined to claim me.
Insta-love some call it.
It feels insta-crazy.
 
But life is crazy and I’m getting crazier about this man by the day. Only one problem… when my obsessive ex-boyfriend threatens Tiny, we’re put to the test.
 
I won’t let him get hurt, even if it means I have to sacrifice my happiness.
 
Tiny and his Riot MC brothers have other ideas though. Nobody threatens their family and gets away with it.
 
 
Karen Renee is the author of the Riot Motorcycle Club, Beta, and O-Town series of books. She once crunched Nielsen ratings data but these days she brings her imagination to life by writing books. She has wanted to be a writer since she was very young, but it’s taken the last twenty plus years for her to amass enough courage and overall life experience to bring that dream to life. Some of those life experiences came from the wonderful world of advertising, banking, and local television media research. She is a proud wife and mother, and a Jacksonville native. When she’s not at the soccer field or cooking, you can find her at her local library, the grocery store, in her car jamming out to some tunes, or hibernating while she writes and/or reads books.

“Emotionally charged, well-paced and witty, this is a great friends to forever romance book.”- Melanie Moreland NYT, WSJ, and USA Today Best Selling Author

Julie
My hot, fiercely protective best friend Landon just dropped to one knee in the middle of the Bellagio with the perfect solution to all my problems.
 
After an unexpected diagnosis and a run of bad luck, I’m officially down and out. That is, until my best friend of two decades offers me his name… and his health insurance.
 
We’re in Vegas for someone else’s wedding. The last thing I ever expected was a proposal of my own—especially from Landon, my rock, my closest friend even when we’re miles apart. He’s always been gorgeous, but except for that drunken almost-kiss back in college, the only thing between us is friendship.
 
What’s a marriage of convenience between pals? Besides, Landon lives hundreds of miles away. Nothing has to change.
 
Right?
 
Landon
I popped the question, put a ring on it, and slapped Julie’s name on my health insurance policy. Problem solved.
 
It’s supposed to be a marriage of convenience. However, when my job relocates me to New York and I move in with my wife I find out there’s nothing convenient about our arrangement.
 
It all seemed so simple until the Elvis officiant said, “kiss the bride.” The second our lips touched, nothing was ever the same.
Stephanie Rose is a badass New Yorker, a wife, a mother, and lover of all things chocolate. Most days you’ll find her trying to avoid standing on discarded LEGO or deciding which book to read next. Her debut novel, Always You, released in 2015, and since then she’s written several more—some of which will never see completion—and has ideas for hundreds to come.

Alaska
I lie to one of the city’s most ruthless men.
And it feels so good.
Deception is a drug, and I’m quickly becoming an addict.
Each time we speak, Zuko has no idea it’s me.
The lie tastes sweet leaving my mouth.
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to—which I don’t.
He thinks our conversations are more than just sex. He’s wrong.
The intimacy he feels is all a facade.
Until the day an embodiment of my darkest fantasies walks into my bar, and his unmistakable voice sends a shiver down my spine.
It turns out I’m not the one in control.
But when he calls tonight, and he will, I’ll be ready…
… with a lie.

Zuko
My job is to hunt. Dispose of problems like they never existed. And I’m incredibly good at my job.
It’s brutal and violent. But, then again, so I am.
I crave destruction. Death is merely a consequence of my dark pursuits.
And I won’t lose a wink of sleep over it, either.
Nothing bothers me.
No one affects me.
Except the vixen with the lilac hair.
When I reveal my true self to her, she laughs it off, enticed by the game we play.
She’s keeping secrets.
And I know all about prying information out of people.
She won’t like my methods.
But I’ll keep playing her little game until I decide what to do about her.
I can’t tell if she is destined to be my wife…
… or my next victim.

Growing up as the youngest Doughty meant missing out on a normal life.
I didn’t want the life I was dealt, but I also felt I had no choice except to embrace my legacy. My family had targets placed on their backs, simply because of our name and the power we held, so I knew I had to be ready for anything that came my way.
Being sent to boarding school was a way to protect me—and get me away from the very life I didn’t want—but it also brought me something else.
Shane.
My brothers took him in, and I chased away the nightmares that came with his tortured past, ignoring the burning desire I knew was there, because I didn’t want to ruin our fast-found friendship.
Now though? He’s severed the very bond I tried so hard to protect in the most brutal betrayal.
He went from being my best friend to my enemy, and now I want answers.

I’m Lilah McCannon, and this is my diary.
Yes, it may seem a little juvenile for a twenty-something woman who’s just started university, but did you just read that? Mid-twenties… university… I’m older than most of my peers, spend most of my time hungover, and I’m pretty sure I’m in the midst of a quarter-life crisis.
All I know is that I don’t want to end up like my mother wearing a twinset and pearls as I parade into the dining room with a roast dinner every Sunday.
This means putting myself out there, trying new things… and boy, am I trying new things.
The guitar-playing hottie from the room next door to my uni room is called Benjamin Chambers. He’s the lead singer in an up-and-coming band, and way out of my league… until he’s not.
Writing my thoughts and feelings down has always helped me work through my emotions, and this diary is full of them. A lot of them. Friendship, heartbreak, love, they’re all here. The realistic challenges of adulthood are sometimes too much to bear, and I’m sure that one day I’ll be able to cope with them, but for right now, it’s hard.
I want what I want, who I want, but being a proper grown-up means having to make choices and sacrifices. I just hope I can make the right ones…

What makes us go back to our fears and dark desires, again and again, unable to escape?

I thought it was all over. That I was back in the human world, for good this time. Back in my apartment, with my friends, my job, my life.

But the heart works in mysterious ways and it won’t let me rest. When I find out that the Lost Boys might still be alive, I jump at the chance to go back to the island and save them.

Losing them would be unbearable, even though I ran away from them once before.

Only problem is, saving them means I’ll have to face my greatest fear, plunge into the unknown and accept what I did and who I am.

Can I do it?

Will it work?

And even if I manage… where do we go from there? Will love prove strong enough to save us all?

Blurb:

Fern

 

Love arrived when I least expected it. It was lust at first sight, I just never thought he’d ever love me back. 

Bradford Manning was my boss. He was older than me and was technically off-limits, but a chance encounter one evening changed everything. 

Since then, I’d never been happier. Until one day, it all came crumbling down. He broke my heart and sent me away. 

I never stopped thinking about him. I couldn’t. He was it for me. Now he’s back and he wants a second chance, but can I open my heart a second time? 

 

Bradford

 

Love came when I’d given up hope of finding ‘the one.’ I never thought I’d get the chance. Especially not from my assistant, my much younger assistant.

Fern Halstead was the forbidden fruit, but I couldn’t stop thinking about her. One kiss changed our relationship forever.

When someone tried to take her away from me, for her safety, I did something I swore never to do, I pushed her away. 

But Fern owns my heart and I want her back. She’s my endgame. Now I just need to find a way to eliminate the threat so I can never let her go again.
