Title: Paying the Price

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Nicole James, comes a standalone, slow burn, age gap, boss love, steamy MC romance

Lizzy—

When did my life come to this?

Everything was going so right. I had a job I liked, a cute little house and a great marriage to my high school sweetheart. Matt was my everything—my firefighting hero—until tragedy struck. Now suddenly I’m a widow drowning in grief and about to lose everything.

One terrible day sent my whole world spinning.

If it wasn’t for my good friend, Kate I would have gone under. She pulled me out of my deep depression and found me a new job to take my mind off everything.

I’m thankful to her until I find out my new boss is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC.

Has she lost her frigging mind?

Darko—

When a son I didn’t know I had, is abruptly dropped in my lap, my whole world is upended. He’s a teenager, pissed at the world, and dealing with crushing grief. Suddenly I’m struggling to deal with him and my busy auto restoration business.

When I tell Utah I need someone to answer the phones and keep up with the paperwork, his ol’ lady delivers me her best friend.

I remember Lizzie. She was always the bubbly girlie-girl, so full of life. But that’s not the devastated, barely speaking woman who walks in my shop. Lizzie had the life she deserved. Now she’s destroyed. And on top of that, what does she know about working in a garage or dealing with a man like me—a member of the Royal Bastards MC?

Not to mention the fact that she’s half my age and distracting as hell.

How in the world does Kate expect us to help each other?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Everything is wonderful in her life, until it isn’t. With one tragedy, her life has fallen apart and she’s in a dark hole. Her best friend is trying everything she can think of to bring her back, but until she’s ready, that hole will protect her.

He’s just found out that a one night stand created a life. Now he’s floundering trying to find his footing with a son he didn’t know he had and running his garage. His garage is struggling because he’s trying to focus more on his son and be the father he knows his son deserves, even if it his son is now a teenager, he can show him how special he is.

I enjoyed Darko and Lizzy’s story. It is full of tragedy, finding one’s way after life altering tragedy, and found family. These two were great together and the Durango, CO RBMC members are great to catch up with. I look forward to more in this chapter to come.
