Alexander Copeland Keenan is a second-generation tattoo artist. He’s got a reputation as a rising star and a six-month waitlist to prove it.
He’s been focused on work and family, not looking for anyone or anything serious, but suddenly there’s more. Suddenly there’s everything when he meets Pippa Hall.
Neither is ready for the bolt of instant attraction, or for the intensity of the days and weeks to follow as their chance meeting develops into an exclusive—and very intense—relationship.
Hamish….
To most of the world, Hamish Wilson is a talented, hard living, hard loving singer-songwriter. Most people don’t know the real person behind the mask. From their first meeting a year prior, Pippa saw right to the heart of him and hadn’t judged. Even better, she’d been his safe harbor, and a true friend.
He tells himself he’s not worthy of a committed romantic relationship with her, but fate—and Xander—intervened. Pippa wasn’t the only one either man had history with, and after an unplanned beginning, the three embark on an exclusive triad.
Pippa…
Pippa Hall grew up in a family whose idea of discipline sent her and two of her sisters fleeing to start a new life in Seattle. She’s got an excellent job as a mechanic at Twisted Steel, a custom car and motorcycle shop, a close relationship with her sisters and several dear friends, and then…
She wasn’t prepared to fall head over heels with two very bossy men whose focus was her well-being and pleasure. Pippa is loved. Deeply.
Ignition…
In the midst of their happily ever after, the shadow of Pippa’s past casts a threat on the happiness and security of their lives. It will take more than love to overcome the fear. The three must stand, united to defend what is theirs.

]]>Xander Copeland Keenan is Alexander, Erin, Ben and Todd’s son (Laid Bare/Brown Family). In IGNITION, he’s in his late 20s and is working as a tattoo artist at Written On the Body, his uncle Brody’s shop (Coming Undone), co-run with his aunt Raven (Drawn Together).
Pippa Hall is a brand new character! She grew up in a religious compound in Arizona and fled to Washington at 15 with two of her siblings. She’s a mechanic at Twisted Steel and is very close friends with Jessi Rogers (Coming Back) and Rennie Brown, Brody and Elise’s daughter (Coming Undone).
Hamish Wilson is Jessi’s adopted brother and we met him in her book (Coming Back). He came to live with the Franklins when he wasn’t quite 13. He’s a successful solo musical artist with a complicated backstory touching on addition, abandonment and neglect, but he’s very much aware of how fortunate his life has become in years since he’d come off the streets and become part of the Franklin family.
In IGNITION we’ll see characters from Laid Bare, Coming Undone, Inside Out, Drawn Together, Tart, Sway, Lush, Opening Up, Falling Under, Coming Back and Reckless (with a glimpse of Maddie Hurley from Back to You)
Any questions? Ask away and I’ll do my best to check back and answer them all!

]]>These two books are part of a two book story arc (each will stand alone as well). I’m not certain if there’ll be more after book 8, but the world is a big one, so there are many story ideas for the future.
Ink and Chrome!
IGNITION – I was aiming for late spring but as we’re nearly summer, that’s not going to happen. I was finished with the books but honestly I wasn’t feeling it in revisions. So rather than wander in circles trying to revise, I started from scratch and wrote an entirely new book. Obviously that added a few months to the process as it still has to be revised and edited. I can tell you I love it and think it’s a far better story. That’s the nice thing about self publishing. It wasn’t right, so I won’t put it out until it is!
But it’s coming! It’s with my editor now and once I get revisions handled, I’ll put out the back cover copy, show you all the gorgeous cover and get pre-orders up.
Most likely, we’re looking late summer/early fall. I’ll know more in a few weeks and I’ll update then.

]]>The post RECKLESS is now available! first appeared on Lauren Dane.
]]>This is the first in a spin off series that will feature characters from my Northwest set contemporary romances! Reckless features Miles Brown from my Brown Family books. Future books in the series will include characters from the Hurley Boys, Whiskey Sharp, Ink & Chrome and the Brown and Delicious books.
Bright Lights…
Harlow Martin is a rock star’s kid. She’s wanted to be a musician her whole life and at last, she and her band, Above Me, will be the opening act on chart topping mega-stars, Earthquakes upcoming US tour.
Miles Brown started Earthquakes straight out of high school, and after years of working his butt off, the band was headlining an arena tour. Multiple platinum albums, some music video awards, commercials, print ad work and a few movies had taken Miles from an unsure teen into a confident, charismatic man, absolutely certain of himself.
And then Harlow bounded back into his life. Though he’d grown up backstage with her when their dads had played festivals together, he’s not ready for the immediate sensual punch in the gut grown-up Harlow was. He’s absolutely captivated by her and though he knows it’s reckless, he can’t deny the temptation of her lips.
Rock and Roll…
Harlow is an independent, accomplished musician. Her confidence on stage is something she can put on like a dress. The tour has raised Above Me’s profile and sent them to the next level of success. Her relationship with Miles continues to deepen each day and as she gets to know him, falling for him is inevitable. He knows her, sees right to the heart of her and loved her for it. She knows what a gift that is. Even when it took work to keep her gorgeous, spoiled and caregiving alpha from rolling right into her life and taking over.
Miles thought he knew what love was, but once he finds it with Harlow, he can understand what a pale imitation he’d had before. He loves her fire and her poet’s soul. Loves the way she’s dedicated and loyal to her closest friends and family. Loves the way she trusts him and brings out the best in him. Even managed to love his bossiness.
When an old heartache is bruised anew and Harlow’s peace is threatened, Miles needs to walk a path between help and control, while vowing to protect her beautiful heart.

]]>This series will be self published and will release in digital and trade paper formats. I’m looking at audio but as this will be all me, it’ll take a bit for me to get everything figured out and to find people I fit with.
The cover for RECKLESS was created by Tony Mauro, who did the covers for the Brown Family and the Delicious books and I am totally in love with it.
Release date for digital is 9/26. No pre-order yet, but when that changes, I’ll let you all know. The books are being formatted and uploaded by the super amazing Frauke at Croco Designs right now.
