Outlawed: Lords of Chaos MC (Road to Carnage Series Book 1)

These Men Play For Keeps.

Noah “Ace” Murphy, Sergeant at Arms, brother, and son. He’s a Man of Carnage, who is loyal to his club. One night, coming home from visiting his brother, Diego, in prison, he almost literally runs into a young man desperate for help. Kenshin Yamoto is everything Ace knows he should stay away from. But one look into those pleading, soft, brown eyes and he finds that he can’t turn Kenshin away. Now, they just have to hope the threat Kenshin is running from doesn’t destroy everything Ace holds dear, including Kenshin.

Diego “Dragon” Murphy, who’s doing a nickel upstate, is looking forward to the day he can give the prison his middle finger. But before he can do that, he gets a visit from his brother, Noah, and is given a mission to eliminate an imprisoned DEA snitch before he can testify against a powerful mob boss. With his plate full, he doesn’t expect to get a new cellmate. To his shock, Richard Harrison stokes a fiery desire within Dragon that he’s never felt before. Richard claims he’s straight, but Dragon wants to put that to the test…

Reader Advisory: This series should be read in order for your ultimate enjoyment, as each book builds upon the last for one epic adventure. Also, there is a prequel titled “Man of Carnage” that you won’t want to miss.

Now for the serious warning: Mature readers only as these bad boy party hard and play dirty. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to get on their bad sides. Graphic violence, strong adult situations (yeah, you know what I mean *wink*), colorful and intense language. HFN/HEA. Reader discretion is advised.

The 5 Best Recipes of 2023

The internet at large likes to throw around the word “best” a lot. This is the bestcheeseburger; this is the best way to store blueberries; this is the best way to cut an onion. We get the appeal! When you’re deciding between multiple recipes or techniques, why wouldn’t you want the best?

But there’s just one problem: Who, exactly, gets to decide what qualifies as the best? Who gets to say what recipe is better than another? This year, for the first time ever, we’re letting our editors, readers, and a panel of expert judges make the call. For Allrecipes’ inaugural Best Recipes competition, we pitted 50 recipes against each other to find the “best” recipe in five different categories: bacon, cheese, chicken, potatoes, and chocolate. We whittled down the list, we consulted our readers (almost 20,000 members of our community weighed in!), we ate our way through plates of chicken Parmesan and rich chocolate pie, and we found our champions.

The five winning recipes below are the result of many months of research culminating in a cook-off at our test kitchen in Birmingham. When we say these recipes are “the best” for 2023, you can rest assured that it’s true.

Beautiful Sinner: Sinners and Saints Book 2

Our families made the arrangement. He made me his.

When I first screamed his name in shameful surrender, Sevastian Kozlov was the enemy, the heir of a rival family who had just finished spanking me into submission after I dared to defy him.

Though he’d already claimed my body by the time he claimed me as his bride, no matter how desperately I long for his touch I vowed this beautiful sinner would never conquer my heart.

But it wasn’t up to me…
