Dangerous Curves Series by Marysol James

Jax Hamill is a man who has changed his life – with lots of hard work and even more dumb luck. He’s left the hell of his younger and wilder days behind, and now he has a bar, a house, a truck, and a bike. Oh, and all the casual sex in a bar back room that a man like him may desire. Jax lives his carefree life for ‘now’, and keeps things ‘temporary’. At least he did…until she threw everything he thought in to question. Sarah Matthews is a woman who would love to change her life in some ways... moreJax Hamill is a man who has changed his life – with lots of hard work and even more dumb luck.

She’s single, stressed, and seriously in need of some fun. If only she could escape her overly-scheduled, vanilla life, and cut loose… just for a little while. When Jax and Sarah decide to get together – just temporarily and just for fun – it changes both of their lives for the better. But when a man from Sarah’s past returns, it changes everything for the worse. In fact, it couldn’t be worse. As Sarah fights to come back to him, Jax is forced to confront the kind of person he was, who he is now, and the kind of man that he wants to be… both for Sarah, and for himself. less

Ace’s club, surrounded by Ace’s one-percenter MC brothers, who’d kill them both in a heartbeat if they knew that Liam and Ace were gay. Three years later, Ace was tapped as club Vice-President, and he ended things with Liam to keep them both safe.

A second chance at figuring out who you are, and who you love, and who you want to be? Ace thinks so, and he’s going to fight like hell for all of those chances, and more. He’s ready to fight for everything. Even if his biggest opponent is the man that he loves more than his own life. less
