Synopsis:
The conclusion to Caleb and Isabelle’s story…
Everything is going as planned, for the most part. With school, the club, and new responsibilities on the horizon, the life Caleb and Isabelle imagined together is so close they can taste it. But their happiness is also a fragile one--all it takes is one wrong turn, one stupid decision and their happily ever after shatters all over the highway.
Because as old threats resurface and new ones rise, the most deadly enemy of all lies not in outside forces, but inside the club itself. How do you follow orders when you know those orders might destroy everything you love? How do you move forward when all your best-laid plans slip right through your fingertips?
Choice breeds consequence. Hope rises from the ashes. Love weathers any storm. And in the end, every road leads home.
**Carry You Home is not a standalone and is the sequel to Carry Your Heart. It is intended for readers 18 and older**
Excerpt
Isabelle
“Caleb?”
“Yeah, Iz?”
“Make it go away,” I whispered.
He nodded. He knew exactly what I was asking and I knew that
anything I asked for, anything I wanted, he was going to give me. And even if
his mind had been on a rougher, faster track tonight, even if he’d needed to
work out a little more aggression from the day’s events, I needed him to go
slow, to be tender with me, and to just love me.
“Okay, Iz,” Caleb murmured.
He leaned forward and gently brushed his lips against mine,
his fingers skimming all the way underneath the shirt to slide it over my head.
My legs wrapped around his waist and a moment later, my fingers were pulling
his own shirt over his head. He bent down to place feather-light kisses on the
insides of my thighs, my stomach, my chest, my neck, before finally settling
over my lips.
I loved this about him—matter what was going on with us,
whether it was the club, school, or just plain old life, sex was always
something that just worked between us. It was where we met up at night. Where
we found each other again in spite of whatever happened that day. Tonight, even
in his worked-up state, was no exception.
He swirled his tongue in long, leisurely circles inside my
mouth, taking his time in getting me to relax. I needed him to take his time,
but I also needed him to get somewhere else first and slipped both his shorts
and his boxers down to his ankles so he could kick them off. I hoisted myself
up on my elbows and watched him with hooded eyes as he lazily freed himself
from the layers keeping us apart. Two seconds later, he thrust his hands
underneath me and playfully yanked me closer to him.
He gripped my hips, digging his fingers into my skin and he
easily slipped inside me. My hands tangled in his hair and he rocked against
me, finding that easy rhythm and hitting exactly where he knew he needed to go.
It was slow, lazy lovemaking and it was exactly what both of us needed tonight.
His lips never seemed to stray far from an inch of my skin, trailing up my
neck, pressing into my mouth, lingering around my jaw.
We’d done this leisurely, easy pace before and we had all
night to enjoy it, but this was different.
Every movement, every kiss, every touch seemed to heighten
the emotions we were feeling—the love, the need, the desire. It felt like a
piece of my soul had splintered and his had meshed in with mine to fill in the
empty spaces. We were forged as one, melded together in the heat surrounding
us.
And when my release shattered through my body and Caleb
trembled above me, I knew that, in spite of the day’s drama, we were going to
have the best night of sleep we’d had in months. All the weight had been lifted
and now, we could finally breathe.
“I’m gonna marry you,” Caleb hummed against my ear.
“Uh huh,” I sighed lazily. “You are.”
“When?”
“Soon.”
“Tomorrow?” he asked hopefully and his tone suggested he
wasn’t being entirely facetious.
Somehow, I still had the energy to laugh. “Not tomorrow.
Soon though.”
“Fine,” he huffed and tugged me against his chest as we
settled back into the pillows. “I guess I can wait.”
“You’re going to have to.”
“Well, it’s a good thing you’re worth the wait, Iz.”
This time, I totally had enough energy to smack him right in
the chest.

Synopsis:
When Isabelle Martin steps onto Sawyer Auto Repair’s parking lot, she can’t believe it’s come to this. After dropping out of a school she never really wanted to go to in the first place and dumping a boyfriend she never really loved to begin with, she thought coming home to Claremont, North Carolina would solve all her problems. Instead, she’s still reeling from her mom’s death six months earlier and trying, but failing to help her dad, who’s sunken deep into a whiskey-fueled depression. Working in the local, motorcycle club-owned, auto shop’s office is a last resort, but it’s the only option she has...even if it means working with Caleb Sawyer, the bad-boy biker with swagger to spare who used to drive her up the wall in high school.
Caleb Sawyer is on the fast-track to a downward spiral. He used to think he had the world at his feet--all he has to do is be patient, earn his keep in the club and in the shop, and his legacy within the Iron Horsemen MC will be his for the taking when the time is right. But that just doesn’t mean anything without his old lady by his side, who wants to leave Claremont more than she wants to stay with him. When the bottom finally drops out, nothing prepares him for the impact and he deals with it the only way he knows how--with whiskey and women. Despite all that, being around Isabelle Martin, the girl whose feathers he ruffled so easily in high school, somehow brings him back to life. She doesn’t take any of his crap, but she calls him on it without judgment and without pity.
Despite some initial animosity, Caleb and Isabelle quickly realize that the perceptions they had of each other in high school couldn’t be further from the truth. The more time they spend together, the closer they become and the more they gravitate towards each other. Both are at a crossroads, but stuck in reverse. Isabelle needs help; she just doesn’t know how to ask for it. Caleb needs a life preserver; he just doesn’t know where to find one. And ultimately, on the path to rediscovery and identity, all roads lead them to exactly what they need--each other.
**New adult/contemporary romance told in alternating points of view. Recommended for readers 18 and older.**
