She thinks she's leaving when she's done with me, but I've got other plans for my angel.
Alizay -- My life is complicated enough without the big biker mercenary I’m tasked with helping to rehabilitate. He’s not a fan of physical therapy and I’m not a fan of the way I react to his body. Nothing in my life could have prepared me for the man called Blood. He’s crass, stubborn, and so sexy it actually hurts. If I’m going to resist him I’ve got to be strong. I’m just not sure any woman is strong enough to ignore him when he decides he doesn’t want to be ignored.
Blood -- I’m the one who cleans up the messes made by others. Then she comes along and suddenly I’m the mess. She thinks she’s leaving when she’s done with me, but I’ve got other plans for little Alizay. She’s going to be mine whether she wants to or not. Her past may stand in our way, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up.
With Christmas on the way and me dragging out my recovery in order to get some quality time with my sexy therapist, my club and my team decide to bring Christmas to me. Bones, Salvation’s Bane, and the Shadow Demons. All under one roof. What could possibly go wrong?
WARNING: Explicit violence and adult situations which could be triggers for some readers. As always, you can expect a HEA with no cheating.
Praise for Blood (Salvation's Bane MC 5)
"Hot older alpha w/younger woman. Blood is not one you would think to have a family or to fall hard. but he soo does for Alizay, a younger woman with some trouble in her past that she works thru with Blood. Totally awesome read and great installment of Salvation's Bane MC!!"
-- 5 Stars from DragonsBane, Amazon Review
"I loved this book! It takes place around Christmas so we get a kinda holiday themed MC romance! Blood and Ali are great together i loved how they developed their relationship they were really funny together. It was nice to see the guys and old ladies from Bones as well! This was a great story to curl up with some hot chocolate on a snowy holiday night and settle in and read a good steamy book."
-- 5 Stars from Jessica, Goodreads Review
"This was a really fun read and I enjoyed how the story evolved from action sequence - bad-assed-ness to steamy MC-style romance and family. I didn't want to put it down nor did I want it to end. I really fell in love with the characters and am dying to know what happens next for them."
-- 5 Stars from DeeAnna, Goodreads Review
"So so good -- great characters -- I loved Bloods brutish ways. Alizay, oh I loved her character strong yet soft too. These two together made a wonderful story for the holidays!!!"
-- 5 Stars from Tanya, Goodreads Review
"...whilst they spark instantly, Alizay tells herself she won't have to see him after his rehabilitation's over -- only Blood has other ideas. and with the holidays fast approaching Blood doesnt seen to want to leave any time soon. This is a well written steamy festive read with all the trimmings, hot biker, hot scenes and more!"
-- 5 Stars from Jenni, Goodreads Review
"Blood and Ali will have your emotions all over the place. Their story has a Christmas theme and the ambience has a warm fuzzy feeling. Blood is in physical therapy and Ali is in charge of his treatment. The sparks ignite between them and it looks like Christmas will be Merry and bright for these two!"
-- 5 Stars from Merry, Goodreads Review

“Fucking hell! Is everyone here? Blood needs immediate medical attention!” That was Shadow. The big African-American was trying to pry off Blood’s body armor. What had been once been as flexible as a T-shirt was now stiff as fucking steel. Shadow swore as he pulled and tried to force the material away from Blood, but it wouldn’t budge. “Someone tell me how to get this fuckin’ shit off him! I need to see how bad he’s hurt!”
Blood could have told him it was pretty fucking bad. But the more Shadow and Sword tried to work with the armor, the worse it hurt. It wasn’t long before the edges of Blood’s vision blurred. The pain was so bad now he couldn’t scream even if he’d wanted to. Every movement of his leg took any breath he might have used, so he didn’t have breath to spare to scream.
He closed his eyes, trying to find the calm that was so easy for him to hold on to in battle. It was there, but the pain was unrelenting. There seemed to be no ease on it. It was like that fucking body armor was holding his leg in an unnatural position, creating the unbearable, stabbing pain in his hip and thigh.
Blood heard his brothers readying for battle. Blindly, he reached for his sidearm, trying to chamber a round. Someone grabbed the weapon from his hands, not bothering to explain.
The next thing he saw was the most angelic, beautiful face he’d ever had the pleasure of viewing. As before, when he’d first noticed the threat looming over him, the sun shone on the woman leaning over him. Her golden hair gleamed as she moved, looking much like a halo around her head. Impossibly pale skin was stained with pink on her cheeks. Her hand brushed over his face, pulling off his helmet. Everywhere her skin touched his was like silk over his rough skin.
“We’re going to get you out of here,” she said, her voice melodious and strong. Blood reached for her wrist weakly when she pulled away. His big hand circled her delicate arm with room to spare. Was she a child? She reached for his chest and did something with her free hand. Immediately, the armor relaxed around him and his leg moved back to a more relaxed position. The pain was still there, but not the sharp, constant agony from before. She immediately stuffed what he thought was a trauma dressing over the leg she’d just bared, pressing down hard. Pain exploded down the limb as she did.
“What did you do?” He managed to bite out, his voice barely above a whisper and so hoarse he hardly recognized himself.
“Sometimes, the material gets stuck,” she explained, sounding like she was oversimplifying the process but repeating it as it had been told to her. “You have to release it. So I did.”
Blood wanted to ask her how, but now that the pain had ebbed somewhat, he was crashing. Hard. Try as he might, he couldn’t focus on the woman. All he managed to croak out was, “What’s your name?”
When she smiled, it was like the heavens had opened up and welcomed him with arms wide. "Alizay," she said. Blood let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.
