Vandal Synopsis:
She takes my breath away; she is so beautifully damaged.
Yes I had broken her, ravished her life, destroyed her happiness. I brought her to ultimate despair. I was responsible for all the pain and suffering that now brought her to her knees in front of me.
Broken.
Hopeless.
Reckless in her agony.
She is a mirror of my own tortured soul.
But what I took away I can give back.
In ways she cannot even begin to imagine.
She is everything right in all my wrongs.
She loves me. She needs me.
She has no idea I’m the one who wrecked her life.

Carian Cole Bio:
I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.
My first novel in the Ashes & Embers series, Storm, published on September of 2014. Vandal, the second novel in this series is publishing in February of 2015. I currently have approximately nine books slated for this series, as well as an MC series in the works, and a few stand-alones coming in 2015 onward.
Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.
EXCERPT:
I stand
up and offer her my hand. “Wanna go for a ride?”
Her eyes
widen and her fingers tighten around the bear before she slowly puts her small
hand in mine. I pull her up to her feet and her head barely reaches the middle
of my chest. She looks down at the grave and takes a deep shuddering breath.
“Yes,”
she finally says, nodding a little. “Take me away from here.”
That’s
all I need to hear.
She
follows me to the bike and surprises me when she just gets on the back without
reaction or question. I can see the defiance in her as she plants herself on
the seat and stuffs the bear into her purse. She doesn’t look at me at all—she
just stares off into the distance, completely expressionless. I start the bike
and the engine roars loudly, but she doesn’t even jump at the sound. I tie my
hair back, put my sunglasses on and turn to the side to peek at her. I don’t
wear a helmet, as this is a no-helmet law state, and I don’t have an extra one on
my bike for her, but she doesn’t seem concerned about not having it, like most
chicks are. Maybe she’s like me and is also daring fate. That’s right, we’re
the ones that got away. Wanna try again?
“You
gotta hold on, darlin’ or you’re gonna fly right the fuck off.”
“Not
sure I’d care,” she replies, but wraps her arms tightly around my waist.
Yes,
baby. Embrace the darkness with me.
I pull
out of the parking lot, leaving her car and our lost loved ones behind. As the
wind whips our long hair behind us, I think we both feel that this is the start
of letting go.
The lake
house is about an hour away, tucked deep in the mountains. I have no fucking
idea what I’m doing, but her hands clasped around me as we ride along the
tree-lined curvy roads ignite all sorts of dark thoughts inside me. The feel of
her small thighs spread and pressed against my legs makes my cock ache.
Riding
my bike has always been an escape for me—just me and the road and the wind, and
nothing else. Having a chick wrapped around me, giving me a hard-on, is an
invasion of the Zen I usually feel when riding, but I ain’t gonna complain.
A few
times she rests her cheek against my shoulder, her arms squeezing me tighter,
hiding in me.
Melting
into me.
