Harley’s Writing Day - #MotorcycleClubRomance #AgeGapRomance #ArrangedMarriage @HarleyW_Writer

By Harley Wylde (Guest Blogger)

Readers have often asked me multiple questions about what it’s like to write a book. I can only respond with what it’s like for me. Each writer is different.

Some books practically write themselves. Others require more work and more time. With Charming, I couldn’t get the opening quite right. The prologue came to me after I’d started chapter two, and with it came some adjustments to chapter one. Fast forward several chapters, and I hit another snag. A timeline issue, since the book ties into more than one other title. In the end, I did the best I could with the timeline and included a note at the end.

While all of my series tie together, you can read my books as stand-alone romances. I try to make it easy for someone to jump in mid-series, or skip a book if it doesn’t intrigue them. Which means I keep an extensive database with information on each series, and notes on how they tie together.

Charming’s dilemma had been hinted at in Phantom’s book, as well as Doolittle’s. It doesn’t mean you have to read either story first. But I did plant some seeds to hint at what was to come.

Because of keeping track of so many details, I may have a day I write 2,000 words, or I might be on fire and write 15,000 words. I’ve found some tricks to help me stay focused when the story is flowing, so that helps too.

But my writing techniques and timelines aren’t the same as everyone else’s. It doesn’t make mine better, just different. 

 

Charming (Devil’s Boneyard MC)

By Harley Wylde

Published by Changeling Press

Cover Art by Bryan Keller

Release Date: February 18, 2022

Dakota -- Having a half-brother who’s an infamous assassin isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. At twenty-five, he’s still micromanaging my life. The moment Specter tells me about an arranged marriage to one of his associates I do what any sane woman would… I run. Never counted on meeting a biker I can’t seem to forget, nor did I plan on our two days together to have lasting consequences. When bad men find me, there’s only one person I want. Charming. I’m just not certain I’ll get a warm reception.

Charming -- Dakota is different from anyone I’ve ever known, and it’s not because of who her brother is. It’s simply her. Some sixth sense keeps telling me she’s in trouble. When she calls and asks for help, I know I’ll do anything for her. The men after her have no idea she’s mine, or that she’s carrying my kid, but they will soon enough. I won’t rest until they’re six feet under.

WARNING: Charming is part of the Devil’s Boneyard MC series and can be read as a stand-alone. There’s a guaranteed happily-ever-after, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. This is an age-gap romance of more than twenty years with bad language, adult situations, and violence.

Excerpt

“I’m sorry. I just hallucinated.” I glared at my phone before putting it on speaker. “Repeat that, please?”

My big brother sighed. “I’ve arranged a marriage for you. It’s a good match, Dakota. He’ll keep you safe. Take good care of you.”

“Did I fall into a wormhole? Accidentally time travel?”

“What?” he asked, sounding bewildered.

“Specter, you realize we’re not in the Middle Ages, right? You can’t marry me off to some guy sight unseen. The world doesn’t work that way anymore.”

“Technically…”

I growled and flipped off my phone, wishing he could see the gesture. “You listen well, big brother. I am not marrying some guy you’ve picked out for me. You can’t do this to me!”

“You’re my only weakness, Kota. It’s only a matter of time before you end up with a target on you. Do you have any idea what it would do to me if I lost you? Like I lost…” He went silent, and I knew he was thinking about his daughter. The one they’d tortured, raped, and murdered.

“I love you, Specter. You know I do. But I can’t live like this. I have a life! Friends. A job.”

“I’m sorry, Dakota. Someone will be there in a few hours to pick you up. You’ll meet your intended by morning and be married shortly after. I swear I would never pick someone who would hurt you. The guy is someone I trust.”

I screamed and ended the call, throwing my phone against the wall. I hated when he did shit like this! Usually, I went along with it, at least for a little while. Not happening this time. I wouldn’t marry some guy just because Specter wanted me to. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I started throwing my stuff into a bag. I eyed my busted phone and realized this was it. My only chance to escape. I packed as quickly as I could, loaded my car, and put my apartment key in the manager’s drop box. Then I got the hell out of town as fast as I could.

About the Author

Harley Wylde is the international bestselling author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Reckless Kings MC, Devil’s Boneyard MC, Devil’s Fury MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.

When Harley’s writing, her motto is the hotter the better -- off the charts sex, commanding men, and the women who can’t deny them. If you want men who talk dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you’ve come to the right place. She doesn’t shy away from the dangers and nastiness in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the bad guys get what they deserve.

The times Harley isn’t writing, she’s thinking up naughty things to do to her husband, drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She’s also fond of TV shows and movies from the 1980’s, as well as paranormal shows from the 1990’s to today, even though she’d much rather be reading or writing.
