Can a scorching affair with a bohemian beauty tame a motorcycle man with a dark side? Rachael Johns takes the wheel in the sexy series co-written with Megan Crane, Jackie Ashenden, and Maisey Yates.   Travis “Cash” Sinclair values only two things from his days with the Deacons of Bourbon Street: his prized Harley Davidson and the man who gave it to him. But now Priest Lombard is gone, and Cash has inherited the Deacons’ clubhouse—not to mention its unexpected tenant. She’s exactly the type of woman he tries to avoid: all incense and art, with a sharp tongue that promises trouble. So why does Cash want to push aside those flowing skirts and lose himself between her legs?   Billie Taylor fled a bad marriage to start a new life among the grit and glamour of the French Quarter. She refuses to let another man distract her from her dreams, especially an outlaw biker with nothing to offer except hot sex and an eviction notice. Cash is dangerous, with an untamed streak he tries desperately to conceal. He drives Billie wild, sending her too close to the edge for her own good. And she won’t fall under his spell—or into his bed—without a fight.Praise for Fire Me Up   “As far as biker series goes, this one has certainly been a heck of a lot of fun! Sexy, smooth and sweet, Rachael Johns’s installment of the Deacons of Bourbon Street is not to be missed.”—A Tasty Read   “Fire Me Up is the perfect title for Travis and Billie’s hot tempers and even hotter romance. I recommend it as a must read.”—I Heart YA Books   “What happens when a hot biker with abandonment and commitment issues meets a hippie who challenges him in every way but dislikes everything he stands for? Well, a lot of heat, for one. . . . The story was enjoyable, the sexual chemistry between Travis and Billie was hot and the character development was really great. . . . I enjoyed reading Fire Me Up and I’m very interested in the rest of the brothers and the conclusion to the murder mystery.”—The Sassy Bookster   “Entertaining . . . crackling . . . The mystery, angst, and sensuality continues as readers are introduced to the gruff yet sexy playboy Travis and upbeat hippie girl Billie.”—Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess   “Fire Me Up was a great addition to this series. . . . I love a good mystery as well as a hot love story. Deacons of Bourbon Street is giving me both—a win-win for a romance reader. I highly recommend Fire Me Up for anyone who loves motorcycle club romances, a good mystery or just simply a good, solid love story.”—Keeper Bookshelf   “Fun, sexy . . . [Travis and Billie] were explosive together, which made for a very enjoyable book and addition to the series.”—Majorly Delicious   Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Four acclaimed authors team up for a seductive series featuring the hottest motorcycle club in New Orleans! Starring a quartet of bad-boy bikers who are hell on wheels—and heaven between the sheets—this addictive ebook bundle includes Make You Burn, Fire Me Up, Hold Me Down, and Strip You Bare. MAKE YOU BURN by Megan Crane Sean “Ajax” Harding’s oaths are inked into his skin, but only the death of his beloved mentor, Priest Lombard, could lure him back to New Orleans. Walking into the old hangout gives him a familiar thrill—especially when he gets an eyeful of the bar’s delectable new owner. Then he realizes that she’s Priest’s daughter. Sophie Lombard loved her father, not his lifestyle. She’s done with bikers . . . until Ajax roars into town—arrogant, tough, and sexy as ever. Every touch from Ajax is steamier than the Louisiana bayou—and heat like this may just be worth getting burned. FIRE ME UP by Rachael Johns With Priest gone, Travis “Cash” Sinclair inherits the Deacons’ clubhouse—and its unexpected tenant. All incense and art, with a sharp tongue that promises trouble, she’s definitely not his type. So why does Cash want to push aside those flowing skirts and lose himself between her legs? Billie Taylor fled a bad marriage to start a new life in the French Quarter. She refuses to let another man distract her, especially an outlaw biker with nothing to offer except hot sex and an eviction notice. Billie won’t fall under his spell—or into his bed—without a fight. HOLD ME DOWN by Jackie Ashenden Leonidas “Blue” Delacroix is the prodigal son of New Orleans aristocrats, but the Deacons are his real family. With their patriarch murdered, Blue’s ready to unleash hell—even if it means taking up arms against the girl who used to be his best friend. For Alice Day, loyalty is everything. She never forgot the scent of leather on Blue’s skin—just as she never forgave the sting of his betrayal when he skipped town. Seeing him again reawakens old feelings . . . and fiery fantasies. As their liaisons hit the boiling point, Alice trusts her heart with the deadliest choice of her life. STRIP YOU BARE by Maisey Yates Micah “Prince” Carpenter hates New Orleans. But when the brotherhood calls, he answers. Joining the hunt for their mentor’s killer, Micah crosses paths with a Southern belle who exudes class—and who could use a taste of the wrong side of the tracks. The daughter of a prominent family rocked by scandal, Sarah Delacroix is desperate to restore their good name. Micah’s exactly the kind of man she should be avoiding. Behind his sleek and sophisticated exterior beats the heart of a predator. But, like the tattoos beneath his tailored suit, his rough edges are irresistible. Praise for the Deacons of Bourbon Street series “Launching a biker-themed contemporary series, [Megan] Crane piles on the passion and danger. . . . This tough and dirty world is fascinating and satisfying in its own way.”—Publishers Weekly, on Make You Burn “As far as biker series goes, this one has certainly been a heck of a lot of fun! Sexy, smooth and sweet, Rachael Johns’s installment of the Deacons of Bourbon Street is not to be missed.”—A Tasty Read, on Fire Me Up“I can truly say that I am sad to see this series end. . . . If you enjoy an exciting MC book with a touch of mystery then this series is exactly what you are looking for.”—Harlequin Junkie, on Strip You Bare
