Truck Stopped - Mellett, Manda

. .

Résumé :
Truck Badly burned and injured I've lost everything. I can't fight fires anymore, or even ride my bike. I brood, alone. I even have thoughts of ending my life. What have I got to live for? That was when I hit my lowest point and began to want to fight back. I couldn't do it alone, but never expected the person who'd be a friend to me would be Allie. Was she like the rest of the sweet butts willing to do anything to become a biker's old lady? Had she sunk her claws into me because she thought I was easy? Was she ignoring my scars just so I'd patch her? Was she encouraging me back to the club for her interests or for mine? Could I move past the fact all my brothers had known her intimately? Allie I enjoy sex. I'm not going to apologise for that. But Truck? He was different. It wasn't just getting off with him, it had been something else. Something I wanted to explore. Before I got my chance he'd gone, and hadn't returned, or at least, not as the man he once was. The club wants him back, so I volunteered to try to reach him. My heart shattered when I found him scarred, broken and angry, but I wouldn't let him push me away. He needed a friend and I could be that. I can't hope for anything more. Biker's never fall for sweet butts, do they?...

Biographie:
Manda's life's always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she's still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman? There isn't enough space to list everything that's happened to Manda, or what she's learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she's met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected. Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area's claim to fame being the Wilkin's Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter. Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.
