USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR!
Alexx Andria delivers a motorcycle club romance between two very bad, yet sexy men and a woman with enough curves to satisfy them both.
My name is Zoe Delacourte. I thought I was going to build my future on the backs of Jax Traeger and Hunter Ericksen -- bad boys from the wrong side of the tracks, running the notorious motorcycle club, the Kings of Asphalt -- in my mind, the story had practically written itself. I was so naive. Little did I know they were going to change everything I ever knew about myself.
Jax and Hunter. I can't even say their names without trembling.
They don't see a fat girl or a girl who might be pretty if only she'd lose some weight. No, from the moment I walked into their club, they saw a hot, sexy woman with curves for days -- and they couldn't wait to get their hands on me.
Some people call them bad men. They see the rides and the rap sheets and they slap a label on them. I don't care what they've done -- all I care about is what they're going to do to me next.
But loving them is dangerous. In fact, loving them might just get me killed.
*The following MC romance is approximately 41,000 words featuring a strong central love story, danger, and the rough, seedy world dominated by two bad boys and their curvy woman.
EXCERPT:
“I-I’m sorry…I
think your guy got the wrong idea…”
One black slash
of a brow went up in question and he leaned forward, saying, “And what idea
would that be?”
“The idea that
I’m…oh, I don’t know…um, available for…” Shut
up, you idiot! This was what deep cover was all about! Riding the knife’s edge
to the ultimate story, finding your discomfort level and pushing past it to get
to the good stuff that everyone else was too chicken to look for. Right.
Inhaling a discreet, stabilizing breath, she straightened and braved a smile as
she sauntered over to Jax, ignoring the flutters in her belly as his gaze
darkened with interest. “Available for just anyone.”
“Oh? Isn’t that
the whole idea behind being a whore?”
“A ww-hore? Excuse me? I’m not—“
“You’re not
what? Not a whore?” His smile slowly faded. “Then you’re not from Dimas and if
that’s the case…just who are you?”
Oh crap. Her damn mouth. “I-I just mean…well, of course, I’m from
Dimas. I was just taken aback for a minute. I mean, well, I wasn’t sure I was
in the right place.”
Faster than she
could react, he had her pressed up against the wood paneling, crowding her
personal space and sending her heartrate through the roof. He smelled of
leathers, a cool midnight ride, and the faint wisp of alcohol clinging to the
edge as if as a reminder that his angelic face and body was simply a ruse to
lure unsuspecting women to their doom. It should’ve repulsed her — truly,
bad boys weren’t to her tastes — but she was oddly, and dangerously
thrilled by the threat of caged violence she saw in his eyes and could see
rippling through his biceps as he pressed forward. Was he going to ravage her
right there like a modern day pirate or simply punt her outside the doors with
a growled warning? Was she crazy for hoping — for a wild, irresponsible
moment — that he would choose to grind those sensual lips across hers as
punishment for daring to breach their inner sanctum? Yeah, don’t answer that. She already knew — it was fucking
lunancy.

USA Today bestselling author, Alexx Andria, talks about her
characters, her writing process and what inspires her.
Where does your
inspiration for characters like Hunter and Jax come from?
All of my characters spring from a secret place that even I don’t
know where that may be but that’s okay because I think there’s a little bit of
magic in the art of creation. I like that the muse whispers to me when I least
expect it and I’m happy to let the mystery of it, remain so. One thing I have
learned, if the muse talks — I listen.
Do you like writing a
stand-alone story better more than a series?
I like series because it’s gives me a chance to get to know
the characters better. Plus, just like readers, I enjoy revisiting characters
that have gone on to their happily-ever-after and catching a glimpse of their
lives now that their conflict has been resolved. For example, Vince Buchanan
(The Buchanan’s Redemption) has a delightful cameo in the Leverage series and
fans told me afterward that they were so tickled to “see” Vince again. I like
doing that, surprising readers with cameos.
How long does it
usually take you to write a story? How many hours a day do you
work?
I like to paraphrase the incomparable Nora Roberts when
asked this question: it takes as long as
it takes. The thing is, no story is alike. Sometimes I zip through a story
and it can take me a few weeks to get the story down, other times, it seems to
take an eternity but as long as the writing is true to the characters, I don’t
mind the journey or how long it takes.
Who are your target
readers?
My target readers are anyone who enjoys a steamy read with
characters that stick with them. Most often, readers will message me saying
that they were moved by characters’ journey to love and that’s what why I
write. I love to touch writers in a visceral way. I’ve often called my books,
beach reads, but hopefully, they remain with the reader even after they’ve
dusted the sand from their feet.
Who inspired/inspires
you?
First and foremost, good writing inspires me. When I was
younger, I was inspired by particular authors who later became the ones who
became auto-buys. I’m happy to say, not much has changed. I love good writing,
experiencing another another’s mastery fires me up (in a good way) and makes me
try harder to be better than I was the day before.
How have your
personal experiences affected your writing?
Every writer puts a little piece of themself in their work;
I’m no different. However, how much of that…I’ll leave to the readers’
imagination.
What are the major
themes in your books?
I’ve always been drawn to the theme of redemption. I like
the tortured soul with a soft heart and a hard exterior. Redemption fits nicely
in that little cubby hole. That’s probably why my heroes are almost always
alphas bordering on the side of asshole, who need a good woman to put them back
on track.
Did you always know
you were going to become an author?
No, when I was younger, I was consumed with the idea that I
was going to be an actress. I
loved acting. In a past life, maybe I was, but in this life I was meant to be a
writer. Writing has always been an important part of my life. It wasn’t until I
was forced to figure out where my true path lies, that I found my calling, and
I’m so grateful!
