About this ebook

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, Hayden. Nothing.”

 

All I wanted was to be home in my pajamas…instead, I’m at a club with my best friend.

 

When she bets me I won’t talk to the leather-wearing snack on the dance floor, I hop off my high-horse to prove her wrong.

The next thing I know, I’m kissing a bad-boy biker in the dark.

Bones makes me want to throw out my good-girl rulebook…and my panties too.

He doesn’t belong in my world, but when I see Bones in a tuxedo charming my upper-class, matchmaking mother, I start to think he and I could have a future together.

But then there’s an attempt on my life. Now I’ll have to marry a man from the wrong side of the tracks for protection...

I never asked him to make the ultimate sacrifice, but to keep me alive, that’s just what my Tarnished Angel is willing to do…

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Emma Slate comes the next interconnected standalone in the Tarnished Angels Motorcycle Club Series.

Ratings and reviews

I was lucky enough to get my hands on this book a little early. It did not disappoint and I devoured it over the span of a day sat on the terrace while on holiday. The interwoven Tarnished Angels are ever present. You'll see all your old favourites pop up here and there, nods to the Rex and a surprise pop up from a Russian and a Buchanan. Bones and Hayden are just scrummy together! Two worlds collide, age difference tale. There are some harder hitting issues in this one they add and enhance to the story. They don't feel gratuitous and the balance is great keeping it from getting too heavy. Bones is a chameleon and settles into Hayden's world more seamlessly than I'd have expected. The story pacing is great and there are no lulls. Of course Savage is there just to keep us wanting to his story! Another really great addition to the Tarnished Angels series.

🏍ARC Review🏍 Hayden and Bones had me hooked from the first page. It's angsty while maintaining a strong plot. I love how shy Hayden is portrayed, yet with a little coaxing from Bones, she becomes the best version of herself. Bones is the best rock she ever could have asked for. Plus, the witty banter I have come to expect from Emma is 🔥 I love that all of the Tarnished Angels books can be read as standalones, but you get more depth to side characters if you've read them all. I devour all the tidbits of my favorite MCs lives scattered throughout these books 🖤💙

I'm loving everything about this series so far, and Leather & Lies is no exception. Hayden Spencer is a good girl, but she's one with a few secrets. She lives in a beautiful home in a gated neighborhood while spending days avoiding her mom's attempts to set her up with politicians sons and matchmaking homeless pets with senior citizens. She and her bestie Charlie spend tons of time together, and Charlie brings Hayden out of her shell a bit, which prompts the meeting between Hayden and biker...
