"Kristen Ashley captivates."―Publisher's Weekly
Still Standing, an all-new emotional and fiery MC romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!
When Clara Delany walks into the Aces High Motorcycle Club’s hangout, she’s hit rock bottom. She’s hiding her car from the repo man, she has less than two dollars in her bank account and the only employment she can get is delivering messages for a criminal.
All because of a man. Therefore, she’s sworn off them.
And then she meets West “Buck” Hardy, president of the Aces High MC.
Buck also meets her, and the minute he does, he makes it clear (to everyone but Clara) that they’re starting something. Since Clara doesn’t get that message, she decides to leave Buck and sort out her life in order to come back to him clean.
She’s not gone but hours before life hits Clara with another blow. Which means Buck and his boys have to ride in and save the day. After that, Buck makes no bones about where they stand.
But does he?
Welcome to the first novel in the Wild West MC series which will tell the stories of the brothers of the Aces High MC, the Resurrection MC and the Chaos MC…and the women who love them.

Excerpt
“Babe,” he growled.
A warning.
Definitely.
I’d gone too far.
I also didn’t care.
“Okay, so then does Tia have to sleep with one, or, say, all of your boys?”
“Don’t do that shit. You know that’s not what I’m talkin’ about.”
“So maybe you’ll explain what you’re talking about.”
“I would, you shut your trap.”
I shut my trap and stared at his shadowed head.
He stared at mine.
Then he muttered, “Christ, need my head examined.”
“You could get off me,” I reminded him.
“Is this shuttin’ your trap?”
I shut my trap again.
“You take of care my house and my business as well as me.”
“What does that mean?”
“That means you move outta the apartment before they kick your ass out. You move into my house. You keep it clean. You keep me fed, that is, when I’m not feedin’ you, and I like to cook, so mostly, I’ll be feedin’ you. You come to work with me and take care of the office, and you go home with me.”
Wow.
Was he serious?
That sounded like…it sounded like…
My God, it didn’t sound like a sex-for-safety arrangement.
It sounded like a relationship.
This story encompasses the good, the bad, and the ugly of life in the Aces High MC world. It is action-packed from the beginning until the end, filled with steamy moments as Buck and Clara maneuver their way through a new relationship, family issues and danger lurking around the corner. Both Buck and Clara have been dealt some bad cards but it is their resiliency and perseverance that has left them still standing after all the dust settles. And now they both have the chance to live in the sunshine!
A fun added bonus for those KA fans is that we get a few references from some earlier series and a cameo appearance from characters that we already know and love.
This is the first book in the Wild West MC series and it is one you do not want to miss!
It’s been awhile since I’ve picked up a Kristen Ashley book and now I’m wondering why! This book was enthralling from start to finish.
Buck is the president of the Aces High MC and when a woman walks into Dive, their clubhouse he doesn’t expect the sparks to start flying.
Clara Delaney has not had an easy life. She thought she had found a good man…until he was arrested for embezzlement leaving her with practically nothing. Now she’s trying to make ends meet by running messages for a very unsavoury character. When she needs to deliver a message to West “Buck” Hardy, she wasn’t expecting how it would play out. Clara is prim and proper and was a librarian up until everything fell apart. Now, she’s trying to acclimate to life as a biker babe thanks to Buck offering her protection.
As always with Ms Ashley she helps the reader delve into the world her characters live in and once you go in, you don’t want to leave. Buck and Clara together are sometimes hysterical and often times like dynamite getting ready to blow. Clara’s character had me seriously laughing out loud at certain points but I love her inner mama bear. Her character develops so much throughout this story.
I cannot recommend this book enough and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!!
