A funny, sexy, and emotionally riveting standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. RUNNING ON DIESEL is the perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more!

Desmond “Diesel” Black is a Nomad with the Dark Knights motorcycle club. He protects others with his life and always rides alone. Tracey Kline left the only family she had for a man who broke more than her spirit, leaving her untrusting and on her own. When a twist of fate reveals pieces of the other no one else sees, will they be able to help each other mend their past hurts and learn to trust the chemistry and connection that’s too strong to deny?

The Whiskeys are perfect beach reads with depth of story, strong family ties, and a wealth of emotions. Small town love stories with happily ever afters guaranteed. The Dark Knights motorcycle club is not a typical MC book. These bad-boy bikers are tough, but they have hearts of gold…and they’re not afraid to use them.

Melissa has done it again!

One of my favorite things in life is discovering a new book in The Whiskey and The Wickeds series! As I begin each book, I swear that there’s no way that Melissa can top the last one. And each book, I’m proven wrong! In the previous book that I’ve read, I completely fell for Benson “Tank” Wicked, whose story is the second book in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series. So, as I turned the first page of Diesel’s book, I wondered if there’s any way that he could stand up to “my” Tank.  And OMG, Melissa, Diesel is all that and a bag of chips!

So you’re aware, each book in the series tells the story of a different couple and can be read as a standalone romance. However, we often see characters from Melissa’s other books. So, if you’re like me and enjoy knowing all of the backstories, I recommend reading the series in order. Just know that it’s only a suggestion.

Running on Diesel tells the story of Desmond “Diesel” Black and Tracey Kline. Diesel is a nomad in the Dark Knights MC, and he usually desires to be out on the open road. However, The Whiskeys needed help in Peaceful Harbor, and he’s been there for the past two years. It’s been the longest he’s spent in one place in a really long time.  Diesel desires to be back on the open road, but someone is making him second guess this desire for the first time, and that’s Tracey.

Running on Diesel is the ninth book in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights of Peaceful Harbor series, and I fell fast and hard for Diesel.  As the saying goes, big men are the real-life teddy bears!

Fall in love with Bones Whiskey in WICKED WHISKEY LOVE, an emotionally riveting, sexy new standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. A magnificent love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, families, bikers, babies, and more!

In WICKED WHISKEY LOVE…
After escaping abusive parents and, later, an abusive relationship, Sarah Beckley has spent a lifetime watching snakes shed their skin. With two small children to care for and another on the way, she’s finally found a home in Peaceful Harbor with the brother she hasn’t seen in more than a decade. She’s still searching for her sister, but life is good. If only she could stop thinking about the sinfully sexy doctor/biker who has taken to her children like a loving uncle–and to her like a hungry man.

Trust doesn’t come easily for Sarah, but Bones Whiskey is patient and protective, amazing with her children, and he looks at her like she is the only woman he could ever want–and more. With two little ones underfoot, Sarah expects him to move on quickly, yet with every tender kiss and each trying moment with the children, Bones surprises her. But will the fiercely loyal biker stick around when Sarah’s worst secret is revealed, or will he shed his skin, too?
