Sometimes you had to embrace the darkness to find the light.

There was a time when Michelle Landry thought she had the perfect life. Happiness, love, they were all in her grasp. But then loss and despair had her waking up and realizing the only thing she was guaranteed in life was a broken heart.

The city of Stillwake was the chance for a new beginning. With her problems behind her and a fresh start in front of her, Michelle felt like she had purpose again... like she could be happy once more.

Like she could love.

But Stillwake had its own evils lurking and it surrounded Michelle. With a string of serial killings making headlines, Michelle felt her tentatively healed world crashing around her.

She started to wonder if maybe that darkness was coming back, threatening to pull her down further. She either had to fight for the surface, or just accept her life and let it take her under.

Excerpt

It was this cold, suffocating feeling that washed over me, this stillness that wasn’t calming but strangling me, wrapping its icy, death-like fingers around my neck. I couldn’t breathe, lifting my hands to claw at my throat. I needed oxygen. I needed air in my lungs.
I was in the center of a frozen ocean, drowning, shards of ice stabbing into my fragile body and tearing me open. I was being pulled deeper until blackness consumed me, washed over me… claimed every single inch of my body until I was nothing more.
Bleakness.
Emptiness.
Nothing.
I opened my eyes, blinked once, twice, staring at the ceiling, counting water stains above me. I tried to breathe, but I couldn’t, that darkness still washing over me, still having that stranglehold around my throat. It was a vice.
And then I gasped, as if my body realized I wasn’t dreaming any longer, as if it realized I was in the here and now. I wasn’t back there; I wasn’t with the darkness and emptiness that had been my companion for so long.

Mady

Mady (Working Class Beauties, Book 2) Copyright © 2020 J. Haney & S.I. Hayes

With my parents in bed, I’m out the door and hailing a taxi to Riverside. I’ve got a storage building there with a car, and well, I guess you could say a different personality. One, I don’t get to show when my parents are around. I could have walked the three blocks to the Metro, but I didn’t want to risk being seen. The last thing I need is for some chauffeur or maid out for a smoke spotting the Harrington Girl walking the streets at one a.m. I pay the cab, and into the storage building, I go to. Time to change clothes, but first things first, I need to get rid of the wig. Yes, what everyone thinks is my natural hair color is a wig. My hair is now a mix of blue and purple.  It goes with my plum crazy purple Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. I change from my very pink and ruffled girly clothes that my mother tells me to wear, to a pair of cheeky black panties under a white bell-bottomed lace pant. I put on a tank with no back, but the front covers my breasts completely. Not like I have a lot to begin with.
After getting dressed and taking care of my makeup, I jump in my Cuda and head over to Queens to see if I can pick up a race. With all the stress of choreographing this dance, I need a break. One of my outlets happens to be street racing, where nobody knows me as Madyson Harrington. To the racing crowd, I’m the Purple Breeze. They started to name me the Cuda Catcher, which of course, they were thinking Coochie Catcher. Before they figured out, I was a chick. Not that I’m picky, I like women just as much as I do men. I’ve made out with both, but it’s never gone any further than that. Just as my brother’s tease, I’m very much still a virgin. I refuse to hand off my virginity to just anyone. I sure as hell won’t be giving it to anyone of my mother’s choosing, and even though Mayson jokes, they’d flip their shit if I were having sex.

Excerpt

“He’s coming out. His driver just had the car come around. Are you ready?”

There was a grumble on the other end. “Ready?! I thought you said, you would think of something else?! We’ve been here two hours and you can't come up with a better plan than this?!”

I rolled my eyes hearing Jason complain. What I was about to do was plan B which I had made in case I couldn't think of a plan A. “Look I paid you, okay? Just get into place and do what you got paid for please. If he leaves and I don't get paid, then I'll gladly let Gerald know –”

“Fine!” Jason quickly cut me off. “But I won't like it. Just try not to die, Elle.”

He hung up and I placed the phone back into my pocket. I, myself, hoped I wouldn't die too, with what was about to happen. Running across to where I knew the car would be heading, I stood on the sidewalk as the cars passed by and pulled my phone out again. Unlocking the phone, I took a deep breath and sent a small prayer up to God.

I don't know when Christoff got into the car, I only saw the white Mulsanne drive off and make a left towards me in order to turn onto the main road of Brickell Avenue. With the other pedestrians moving so quickly behind me, my heart skipped a beat as I watched in slow motion as the car approached.

Wondering where Jason was, panic shot its way through my veins and I glanced down at my phone to text Jason again, when suddenly I felt a firm hand on my back, followed by a hard shove forward.

Excerpt

He turns his head to the side and he’s looking at me so deeply, I’m trying to hide my true feelings from him.  “You think friends with benefits would be different? How?”
I shrug my shoulders.  “Well, because you’d know I’m emotionally messed up and that what we have could fizzle out, but at least we’d still be friends because we’d both know we are in it to… you know, help each other out.”
Austin laughs, and I’ve never been more grateful to hear it, but he sombers quickly and looks at me skeptically.  “I’ve never known you to be a friend with benefits type of woman.”
My heart is hammering in my chest.  “Well, you and I both know you’ve never been the settling down type anyway. Who better to try out the friends with benefits thing with than you?”
We’re still holding hands, and his thumb rubs over my palm in a slow, circular motion. We both watch our hands and when he looks up, I meet his gaze, holding my breath.
Finally, he mutters softly, “If that’s the only way I can have you, that’s fine.”

Excerpt

Brodie looked down at the kitten as it started licking his thumb, its rough tongue rasping over his skin.
“What’s its name?” Brodie managed to keep his voice even. His pull to this woman was something else. He came on this job to make a few extra bucks before his big fight on Saturday, and hopefully, it was one of his last construction gigs. Boxing was his life, and working all day interfered with his training regimen.
It also meant he didn’t really have time for a distraction like Tabitha, but he was finding her damn near impossible to resist.
“Max, or more likely, Fur-Ball of Destruction.” She cooed a little and rubbed a finger on the kitten’s ear. “My favorite sweater is now the lining of his bed,” she pointed into the box and he saw a soft, white material there, laid in like a nest for the little guy to sleep in. “I’ve only had him two days, and it seems like he’s already destroyed half of my apartment.”
He chuckled at that, “Just like a bad boy, eh?” He nuzzled the kitten and gave her a wink that made the blush rise up the creamy skin of her chest again. This time it continued over her neck and into her cheeks. He could get used to seeing that.

Release Date: August 24, 2020



Blurb

I’m a cop.
Sworn to protect, to keep people safe.
I’m supposed to abide by the rules, to always do right.
That’s what the rule book says, doesn’t it?
I take my job seriously, even if sometimes my job doesn’t take me seriously…
I fight for what’s right, I fight for justice.
So, how I got tangled up with a notorious MC, dealing with illegal investigations that would have my job ripped from beneath me, is beyond my comprehension.
Yet, here I am, dipping my toes into dangerous waters, doing illegal research, risking it all for justice…
Justice for innocent girls.
Mostly, justice for him.
A man I let down.
A man who can’t stand me.
A man who will go away for a very long time if I don’t fix what I’ve broken.
A man who is everything I’m not – dangerous, deadly and a biker…
A man who I shouldn’t care about, who I shouldn’t want, who makes me question everything I am.
Yet, here I am…
It’s too late to turn back now.
