Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children. She is the author of multi-genre romance, including the Amazon international bestseller, Broken.

A tale of friendship, acceptance, and second chances...

Hugo Hayes has it all; the voice, the money, the looks. Adored by fans all over the world, there’s nothing more he could ever wish for. Or so it appears. But no one sees what happens off stage. Nobody knows where he came from, what he goes through, where he’s heading…

Except the girl he left behind. She’ll know. She always did.

Helen Jenkins is starting over. Back on the diet and heading for a career change, it’s time to stop wallowing in the past and give up missing the best friend who traded her in for fame and glory eight years ago. Harder than it sounds when his image and voice seem to follow her wherever she goes…

Harder still when he appears at her front door one rainy spring night.

Hugo is falling. After all these years, will Helen still be prepared to catch him before the inevitable crash? Or has he lost the only home he’s ever known, forever?

Dylan Roberts and Cameron O’Neil were good kids. Growing up together, they shared everything. By the age of fourteen they were more than best friends – they were in love. They dreamt of their future, of success, marriage…happiness. They were going to grow old by each other’s side.

But… “Kids are stupid.”

When tragic circumstances forced them apart, Dylan discovered that life wasn’t the fairytale he dreamed of; it was dark, difficult, saturated with pain and shame. Life wasn’t meant to be enjoyed, merely survived, but even that became a challenge. Damaged, worthless, and disgusting, he saw no point to his pitiful existence…

Until he came face to face with the boy he used to love.

Successful, honourable, and happy, Cameron had achieved the future they planned. He was good, positive, popular…everything Dylan would never be. What would happen if Dylan let him back into his world? Would he destroy Cameron too? Would his poison push him away like everyone else? “Everybody leaves.” “They leave or they die.”

But what if…what if Cameron didn’t?

As lead singer and guitarist of the internationally renowned Souls of the Knight, Sawyer Knight is living a life most men can only dream of. He’s surrounded by music, fame, wealth, women throwing themselves at his feet. He has everything…

Yet he has nothing.

Life as one of the world’s most sought after rock stars is tiring, oppressive and lonely. He spends every day being who the world wants him to be, who his manager tells him to be, who his mother expects him to be… all the while fighting against who he really is. Truth is, he’s used to it. He’s actually gotten pretty good at pretending… at living the lie.

Until Jake Reed, his ex-best friend and the only person who’s ever made him ‘feel’, waltzes back into his life as the band’s new head of security. Jake wants Sawyer – always has, always will. Now, he just needs to get Sawyer to admit that he feels the same…

You met Ryder Richardson in Being Sawyer Knight. Now, this is his story.

I’ve done it. I’ve stuck a whopping two fingers up at my parents, I’ve made a name for myself as one of the world’s biggest porn stars and I’ve finally found a family I belong in.

Life is amazing. I get paid to do all my favourite things.

And then he comes along. Mason George – Back Door Studio’s newest exclusive model and the guy who has the potential to either mess it all up, or take me on the best ride of my life.

~ Ryder

I’m desperate. I’ve got nothing and nobody left. Entering the daunting world of adult entertainment is less of a dream and more of a necessity. Signing as Back Door Studio’s latest model has the ability to either ruin or make me, but I made a vow at my first audition never to let myself regret it.

I continue to question myself each day, but no amount of whats, whys or what ifs will change where I am or where I’m heading. Am I strong enough to do this? To embrace it? To enjoy it? I have no idea.

The only thing I’m certain of, is that if anyone can teach me who I’m supposed to be, it’s Ryder Richardson.

Seventeen-year-old Maddie Davis has spent her whole life on the move. With an unstable mother who has a knack for making bad decisions, she’s never stayed in one place long enough to remember its postcode. But this time is different. This time, she has been dragged half way across the world. Arriving in California and being forced to go back to school feels like stepping back in time. She wants to go home…

Until she meets Blaine Elwood – the stepson of an old family friend.

Blaine appears to have it all. To the outside world, quarterback Blaine is rich, confident, and rocks the ‘arrogant bad boy’ image down to a tee. But nobody knows the demons that lurk beneath the façade. Nobody ever can. He has vowed never to let anyone get too close, let anyone discover how weak he really is. So when new girl Maddie starts tugging at strings he didn’t know existed in his heart, his only option is to push her away…

Until he realises how much he needs her.

When shattered secrets and splintered lies start unravelling around them, will the trust they’ve worked so hard to build be irreparably destroyed? Or will they realise they are two pieces of the same broken puzzle?

To the crowds who come to watch his drag act at the club, he’s the fierce and fabulous Miss Tique. He’s popular. Talented. Out, proud, and self-assured. He’s also a good actor.

Sebastian Day is content with life’s easy, if not a little monotonous, routine.

He’s not lonely. He isn’t hiding. At least…he doesn’t think he is until he meets the mesmerising stranger with the red hair and purple lips.

Come domare Ryder: Souls of the Knight, Vol. 2 (Italian Edition) Mar 8, 2021

by Nicola Haken, Aria Zanchet

( 58 )

$4.87

Ryder
L’ho fatto. Ho mandato a quel paese i miei genitori, mi sono fatto un nome come una delle più importanti pornostar mondiali e mi sono finalmente trovato una famiglia a cui sento di appartenere.
La vita è meravigliosa. Mi pagano per fare quello che preferisco.
E poi arriva lui: Mason George, il modello più recente ed esclusivo dei Back Door Studios, nonché colui che potrebbe mandare tutto all’aria oppure rivelarsi la cosa migliore della mia vita.

Mason
Sono disperato. Non mi sono rimasti nulla e nessuno. Entrare nello spaventoso mondo dell’intrattenimento per adulti è più una necessità che un sogno che si realizza. Firmare un contratto con i Back Door Studios potrebbe rovinarmi la vita oppure farmi diventare una stella; in ogni caso, quando ho sostenuto il primo provino mi sono ripromesso di non rimpiangerlo mai.
Continuo a mettermi in discussione ogni singolo giorno, ma nessun dubbio, nessuna ipotesi, nessuna incertezza avrebbe cambiato il mio percorso e il mio obiettivo. Sono abbastanza forte per riuscirci? Per accettarlo? Per godermelo? Non ne ho idea.
L’unica cosa di cui sono certo è che, se esiste qualcuno che può insegnarmi come fare, quello è Ryder Richardson.

Tuttavia, non ha nulla.
Essere una delle più ricercate rock star del mondo è sfiancante, opprimente e solitario. Sawyer trascorre ogni singolo giorno cercando di essere come vogliono gli altri, come il suo manager gli dice di essere, come sua madre si aspetta che sia… il tutto mentre lotta contro chi è davvero. La verità è che ci è abituato; ormai è diventato piuttosto bravo a mentire… a vivere una bugia.
Fino a quando Jake Reed, il suo ex migliore amico, nonché l’unica persona che gli abbia mai fatto provare qualcosa, torna nella sua vita come nuovo capo della security della band. Jake vuole Sawyer, l’ha sempre desiderato e sarà così per sempre. Adesso deve soltanto far ammettere a Sawyer che anche lui prova le stesse cose.
«Sarai mio, Sawyer Knight. Più cercherai di correre veloce, più in fretta cadrai in ginocchio. A quel punto, Sawyer… a quel punto sarai troppo debole per resistere.»
