Bastard by Sapphire Knight Cover Reveal

Apr. 23, 2020

Bastard by Sapphire Knight Cover Reveal

Are you ready for a new series and whole new club from Sapphire Knight? I’m so excited about this book because it has been a while since I read anything from her. This one looks like it is going to be so good.

Title: Bastard
Series: Royal Bastards MC Texas #1
Author: Sapphire Knight
Genre: Romantic Suspense/MC New Adult
Cover Design: Jay Aheer
Teaser Design: CT Cover Creations
Release Date: April 28, 2020
BLURB

Ripper
I’m a Royal bastard through and through. Being Prez has been my life and 
seeing anything other than the club isn’t on my to-do list. 
To my surprise, a sexy diamond appears out of the blue and I can’t seem to 
stay away or keep my hands to myself. The perfect gem is mine, I know it 
and so does she. I’ll do whatever I have to, so I can keep her.
I’m a bastard after all, and bastards always break the rules.


-A Gritty MC romance with a brand new club, characters, and storyline.
-B*stard is a complete standalone that does not need any other books read prior.
-Steamy romantic suspense full of action, alpha bad boys, and strong women.

PLEASE NOTE THE EXCERPT BELOW HAS ADULT LANGUAGE

“I’m searching for my sister. I was hoping you could tell me if you’ve seen her.”
I crack a grin—not a friendly one. “What are you willing to give me for it?” I take pussy, drugs, and cash. I’m guessing she has two out of three to offer me.
She draws in a quick breath, her determination showing as her brow wrinkles. She doesn’t take my bait. “This is a serious matter, I assure you. My sister has been gone for nearly two months now, and her family is extremely worried. I’m worried. Please be sensible about this and let me know if you’ve seen her.” She holds out a photo to me. She’s got clear gloss on her nails with white tips. They’re nothing like the long bright nails I’m used to bitches raking over my back as I fuck them. I guess hers are long enough to make me feel them. We’ll see.  
I don’t reach to take it, but instead, keep my eyes locked with hers. I want to stir up some shit, see how trained these jackasses really are. Her long-lost sister is the least of my issues, and she’s gotta play to pay, but she doesn’t seem to get that just yet. “That all you’ve got to offer me? Let me make this easy on you: I accept, pussy, drugs, and cash as payment.”
“How much will it cost me to get you to look at the photo?” She’s brazen I’ll give her that, coming at me so boldly and not being an eager club whore. Clearly, she’s used to having backup, ‘cause most bitches will barely speak a peep when I come face-to-face with ‘em unless it’s to beg me to take their pussy or mouth. I can bark at them to suck my cock, and they drop to do as they’re told. I have a feeling Alice would tell me no. That’s one fuck of a challenge I can’t simply pass up. I will get inside her pussy, no matter how long it takes me.

I've hosted two book signing/author events myself, Motorcycles, Mobsters and Mayhem MMM18 with 400+ attendees and MMM19 with 500+ attendees.

I'm a proud Texan who's crazy about football. I've always had a knack for writing, whether it is poems or stories. I originally studied psychology in college and feel that it's added to my passion for writing flawed characters.

When I'm not in my writing cave, I'm busy playing with my three Doberman Pinschers. I love to donate to help animals and watch a good action movie.

    I just don’t get into the MC books. I guess it’s just not really my thing, lol. But this sounds like it will be popular because I know a lot of people love the MC books.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
