Ryker Powers was the biggest prick I’d ever met.
 
He was also my biggest mistake.
 
He’d taken what he wanted then left, and I detested him for it. Not that the jerk had cared to stick around long enough to know how I felt.
 
Everyone thought he was a perfect gentleman with all his quiet intensity but I knew better.
 
I knew he had a filthy mouth. That he liked things dirty.
 
He may have had people fooled into thinking he was a nice guy but I knew exactly who he was.
 
He was a bad boy who’d ask for a light from the devil himself.
 
And I wanted to see him burn.
 
Until I realized—to my utter horror—that what I really wanted was him.
 
Who was going to get burned now?

Boone Richards

Olympia Olsen is exactly where she belongs, but I’m not sure she believes it.

I infiltrated my enemy’s compound to bring her back into my life, before almost losing her a second time. Now I finally have what I want...sort of. It’s hard to enjoy mind-blowing sex and sweet, tender love when your club is in chaos, your brothers at odds, and your father is fighting just to survive. Let’s not forget the man who tortured my girl has gone into hiding and left me to pick up the shattered shards from her broken heart.

After all she’s endured, I’m not sure she wants the outlaw lifestyle I’ve always embraced. She is old lady material, through and through. I have no doubt. The question is: Does she believe it? The bigger question: Does she want it?

After all the insanity, I’m ready for some serious, f%#cking fireworks, the kind that dazzle your mind and send chills down your spine. I can only hope Olympia’s by my side to enjoy them.

Olympia Olsen.

Boone Richards came for me, now he’s determined to rescue me…from myself.

The question is: Will I let him? He’s everything I’ve always wanted, so it should be an easy answer; but it’s not. My body screams yes, yet my mind isn’t convinced. As the new Soul Scorcher’s President, Boone’s MC is his priority. He needs a strong woman at his side — a fierce female not afraid to speak her mind, a woman who will love both him and his young boys without reservation. Can that be me?

I won’t lie. I’ve never wanted a man more, but there’s never been so much at stake. I’m a woman who has been through the scorching fire and come out alive, but until the arsonist and my abductor are dead or behind bars, I’m a target. I can’t let the ones I love most get caught in the crossfire.

I’ve lived through a firetrap, a firefight, and survived the firestorm. I’m so f%&king ready to enjoy some fireworks with Boone by my side.

Fireworks is the fourth and final installment in the Scorched Souls Serial-Series. It should NOT be read as a standalone. You will want to read Firetrap (book one), Firefight (book two), and Firestorm (book three) first. Each book builds on the previous installment. The information in the prior books is crucial to understanding the next. This fourth book contains a long-time-coming HEA. Hope you enjoy the conclusion to Boone and Olympia’s story!

Please be advised: The entire Scorched Souls Series is for readers 18 and older due to sexual content, violence, language, and dark subject matters. You have been warned. There are BDSM elements in all four books.

Excerpt

“You ready?” Olympia rested her hand on my thigh, igniting a spark only her touch could create.
I was propelled from my worry-session back to the present moment, where I needed to keep my attention focused.

Olympia’s BMW was parked in a visitors’ space close to the entrance, the engine off. A handful of Harleys stood out from the long rows of vehicles – cages, in biker-speak. Not one car compared to the Hogs with their chrome gleaming in the morning sun, making me wish I was on my bike with Olympia pressed against my back, arms secured around me, roaring down the highway and devouring the pavement like a hungry beast.

How fucked up was it that she’d only ever ridden with me on my street bike?

I was the acting president for a one-percent MC and my bitch had never been on my Harley. I actually chuckled in spite of the fucked up situation, although the sound was hollow.
“Did I miss the joke?”
“No, babe. No joke. Just thinking.” I heaved my large frame from the confining front seat and rolled my shoulders. “Let’s do this.”
“Are you going to tell me?” She sounded annoyed and tired, slamming her door harder than necessary.
“Just thinking about how you still haven’t been on my Harley. Something unheard of considering my feelings for you.”
She moved to my side and took my hand. “I’m not going anywhere. We’ll ride once this storm is over.”
I didn’t voice my next thought.

What if the storm never stopped? What if happiness remained some elusive dream?
I might not deserve happiness, but Olympia sure as fuck did. Maybe I was holding her back from a better life. The idea I should give her up crossed my mind, but only for a second.

I was selfish sonofabitch, and I’d been waiting for a woman like Olympia my entire life. Giving her up wasn’t an option. She was mine and I wanted to make sure she knew it. I needed inside her – now. My vow to wait suddenly seemed like a prison sentence.
Perhaps an early release was in order.

About The Author

 photo Author Image_zpsptmzn76v.jpg

C.L. Riley is an author with four books to her credit...under a different name. A name she intends to keep top secret for an extended moment. (If you know the "real" C.L., keep it hush-hush, please!) And, no, she's not a huge, blockbuster author with a seven figure book contract, though she'd be all right with that. Who wouldn't?

She loves to read almost anything but has a major soft spot for broken, bad boy, alpha males, and has found a new love for MC (biker) romances. She enjoys reading and writing dark fantasy, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, erotic suspense, new adult romance, young adult...Whoa! Let's slow it down! After all, space is limited. Clearly, she is fond of reading and writing an array of stories.

As a little girl, she was obsessed with genies (and their bottles) and grew up watching Barbara Eden's I Dream of Jeannie. In her latest book, Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie, Ms. Riley has created a delicious mix of fantasy served up dark; steamy sex with those bad boys she likes so much; plenty of magical mayhem; and what she hopes are a few good giggles and laughs. She also includes a variety of references to pop-culture, past and present. Think Funyuns! And don't forget love and romance, rough around the edges, of course, are major ingredients to her mouthwatering recipe!

As you might imagine, she is WISHING you would join her on her latest genie journey. Climb on that magic carpet and get ready for one hell of a ride!

Lucy has always been a good girl. The most hardcore thing she's done in her life was falling for a divorced man ten years her senior. 

But he was the love of her life and she married him. When her Peter Pan of a husband decided to divorce her, she thought it was her chance to start anew. That was until she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Besides looking like Britney circa 2007, she is taking it well, real well. You might see her walk around the hospital during chemo sessions with bright colored wigs and outrageous t-shirts that seem to shock the most conservative employees. One of them reads F U CANCER.
 
 
 
 
I should have suspected something. Instead, when the doorbell rang, I opened the door without the slightest idea of what was waiting for me.
 
Beverly showed up on my doorstep along with the man I had tried to keep away all week.
 
“Shit,” I said. “What now?”
 
Brandon smiled, but looked sheepish, which made me worry. He was holding a bouquet of roses, and handed it to me without saying a word. I took it and thanked him, and when I locked eyes with his, I felt a million different feelings unleash inside of me.
 
He was giving me that hooded, cautious look. His eyes looked a deeper blue than usual. My eyes fell on his mouth and I realized how much I had missed his touch.
 
I wanted to jump into his arms, but there was still doubt in my heart and it was weighing the happy-go-lucky part of me down.
 
“Okay, so…as you might have guessed by now, you and I aren’t going anywhere,” Beverly spoke. “But you and Brandon are going on a little adventure–”
 
“What?” I turned to her snapping out of my Brandon-induced daydream.
 
“Yes! And you have to leave, like…right now. So, chop-chop!”
 
I looked at Brandon quizzically. “What do you have to say? Cat got your tongue?” I joked.
 
“I want you to come with me. I don’t want to have to persuade you. I’m also afraid I’m going to spill the beans and ruin the whole thing,” he said.
 
“You seem pretty good at keeping things to yourself,” I sneered.
 
“Alright! Easy, woman! Come on, time to go!” She came behind me and started pushing me towards Brandon’s car.
 
“Okay, okay!” I took my purse, locked the house and unwillingly walked to the car, all with the flowers in my arms. “Crap! I forgot about the flowers. I turned to Beverly. “You have the keys to my house, right? Would you mind putting them in a vase?”
 
“I’ll do it,” she replied.
 
“Thanks.”
 
“But first, there’s something else I have to do.” She exchanged a look with Brandon and I stared confused at the two of them.
 
She got a strip of black fabric out of her purse. What the hell was that?
 
“Turn around,” she commanded.
 
“What?”
 
“Turn around. I have to put this blindfold on you.”
 
“Seriously?” I gasped. How could these two people be those I used to think I trusted? “Am I not coming willingly?” I asked Brandon.
 
“This is her idea,” he replied, tilting his head in Beverly’s direction.
 
Of course. I should have known. Miss lover of kinky steamy romance novels.
 
“Well, it’s not necessary,” I argued.
 
“It totally is,” Beverly rebuffed. “It’s going to ruin the whole surprise. Wear the motherfucking blindfold or so help me God, Lucy.”
 
“Okay, okay.” Jeez. Who knew she could be such a Bossypants? “You’re making me reconsider our friendship, you know,” I told her.
 
“Lies,” she said, tying the knot behind my head. “All done!” she exclaimed and then pinched my butt.
 
“Ouch!”
 
“Awww, stop it, you sissy. Give me these.” She took the flowers from my arms. Brandon took my hand and just the feeling of his warm fingers around mine, made my heart jump a little. I exhaled.
 
“I promise you, this is going to be good,” he whispered in my ear. God, his voice sounded even sexier than I remembered.
 
He helped me in the car and put the seatbelt around me. His lips brushed against mine just for a second, and I gasped.
 
“I have to admit, I do like this blindfold,” he teased.
 
“Of course you do.”
 
“I almost forgot,” Beverly said. She took my hand and placed some lightweight object in my hand. It was shaped like a square and it was made of paper.
 
“What is it?”
 
“A CD mix. A little ‘sorry for blindfolding you, friend, have a great time on your mystery road trip’ playlist.”
 
“Road trip?” I asked.
 
“Oops, I said too much. Anyway, I’m sure you’re going to hate me a little less after you listen to it.”
 
“If you say so.”
 
“Have a fabulous night and don’t forget to tell your best friend she’s the best when you end up having a great time.”
 
“We’ll see about that,” I joked and smiled, but I wondered if she knew I was joking. I couldn’t see her and wasn’t sure if she was smiling.
 
“Bye, Lucy. I wuv you!”
 
“Wuv you too!”
 
She closed the door, and a moment later I heard Brandon’s door open and he sat in the passenger seat. He closed his door and started the car.
 
“Where are we going?” I asked him.
 
“You’ll see.”
 
“Well, at the moment, I can’t see anything.” He laughed. It was a warm, rich sound that eased up the nervousness and made me smile.
 
“I missed your smile,” he said. “I can’t believe you had the strength to stay away from me a whole week.”
 
“Eight days,” I corrected him.
 
“Were you going to keep giving me the cold shoulder if I hadn’t showed up at your door?”
 
“I don’t know.” I heard him exhale a deep breath and wondered if that hurt his feelings. It was easier to be indifferent to him when he wasn’t around. Now, in the small space of the car, my head swam in his scent, his words made my heartbeat speed up, and a warm and fuzzy feeling spread into my chest. The knots in my stomach dissolved and the words almost come rushing out of my mouth.
 
“I missed you too.”
 
“Good,” he said.

Catalyst by Leighton Riley - Release Blitz















Title: Catalyst



Author: Leighton Riley



Release Date: Dec 28, 2015



Find on Goodreads

































For every action, there is a reaction. 



People aren’t always who they say they are. Everyone has their secrets. Some are more evil than I ever thought imaginable. 



I was left broken and alone after my boyfriend was murdered in my bar. 



An old acquaintance moves into Liam’s home and a spark is ignited deep inside me. 



Becoming vulnerable made me weak, and I never saw it coming. 



When obsession takes over, lies and deceit can be killer.







































Watching movers pack away his things and throw them into the truck is so impersonal. Tossing the boxes into a truck with no thought as to what they are handling. I wish I had the strength to be the one who packed it all away, but I couldn’t. It was hard enough to pack up my things. I moved my stuff out of the home two weeks ago, but the majority of everything in that home was his. 







He was my other half. My soul mate. One morning, we were completely in love and talking about starting a family, and then by nightfall, I had found my boyfriend barely alive in the storage room of the bar I owned. I rode with him as he was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, praying he would pull through even though the look on the paramedics’ faces told me otherwise. After what seemed like forever in the waiting room, doctors gave me the news he didn’t make it. The police questioned me extensively, and later that night, I came home to his empty house. From that day on, I have been on autopilot. 




























Leighton Riley resides in Dallas, Tx and works in real estate for her day job. She writes contemporary romance and romantic suspense. Sinfully, Regretfully, and Deceitfully can be read in order or as standalones. Sinfully and Regretfully take place around the same time frame and can even be read in reverse order (will give more background on Payton and Ryder's story). Tate's story, Deceitfully, finishes off the series. She's also the author of the romantic suspense novel, Catalyst.
