Dark and brooding, Nick Crocetti
was labeled a bad boy from the moment he arrived in Rockland City. Now owner of
the bar, The Chief, whispers of criminal dealings and a murky past still swirl
around him. Being alone suits Nick, until his high school fantasy enters
his life once again.
Veronica Barnes is leaving behind a disastrous marriage along with her high-paying consulting career. Returning home, she is determined to follow a lifelong dream of opening her own bakery. Meeting her secret high school crush, ‘the wicked bad’ Nick, rocks her world in ways she never imagined.
Despite the mutual physical
attraction - and a shared past - Nick and Veronica are wary and determined to
protect their hearts.
Breaking down the barriers of
past heartbreak seem insurmountable, especially when the intimate bond moves
toward something neither counted on—nor wanted. For two lonely people, acknowledging
their feelings may be more than they bargained for.

FROM THE AUTHOR:
Note on this book: It was previously published in 2013 with Crimson Romance's Spicy line as The Wicked Bad.
I rec'd the rights back in 2016. Crimson Romance is no longer in business. (Bought by Simon and Schuster in late 2016, closed in 2018)
Used paperbacks of the 2013 version are still floating out there.
I'm completely revising this story. First off, He's the Wicked Bad is no longer erotic, this is a mainstream series. Meaning even though the hero is on a motorcycle, he is not part of a club, and this is not a dark romance.
I also have the rights back to book 2, His Wicked Celtic Kiss. That title will not be changing.
Book 3 is written, it is called His Wicked Cold Heart
Book 4 is not written as yet. will be called He's so Wicked Good
I set no deadlines on myself, so the revisions are done when they're done, meaning it could release later this year or early next year.
A little about the series: The Wicked Men of Rockland City
Nestled on Chesapeake Bay, in Rockland
City, Maryland, this small industrial city has witnessed the struggle for
dominance by two families: The De Lucas and the Barneses. For good and for ill,
these family’s lives are intertwined.
The Barnes family represents law and order. The De
Lucas embodies the complete opposite, and soon their various criminal
enterprises overtake everyone’s lives with disastrous results. Once the smoke
clears, the question remains of who will survive. Passions run high, as do old
and new resentments—and old and new loves.
A multi-published author, she loves to write sensual historical and contemporaries. Tortured heroes are an absolute must.
As long as she can avoid being hit by a runaway moose in her wilderness paradise she assumes everything is golden. Karyn’s been happily married for a long time to her own hero. His encouragement and loving support keeps her moving forward.
