Riding Steele: Kidnapped by Opal Carew is the first part of her new six-part serial Riding Steele. Riding Steele will be released as a full length novel in early 2015 as book 3 in her Ready To Ride series. 
 This first part is aptly named as, essentially, Laurie is kidnapped. Her brother has asked his friend Killer, a member of the MC to help as he he is going out of town and doesn't trust his sisters safety with her boyfriend. The MC is there with Steele leading the group just hanging out for Steele's birthday, scoping out the situation. Steele decides to not go through with her brothers extreme request of "kidnapping" her and they leave to go to another bar leaving behind Wild Card who's finishing his food. 
 Wild Card notices certain ticks in both Laurie's behavior and that of her boyfriend Donovan and when Donovan drags her out of the club he follows behind and witnesses Donovan abusing her. He takes charge and takes Laurie back to the cabin where the MC is staying. Things get a little heated when the rest of the MC get back and Steele realizes that despite his decision to leave her, she's there. When the details of why Wild Card took her some out though he understands. 
 Laurie, however, feels like she's out of the frying pan and into the fire. She is afraid of her new captors, doesn't believe they truly know her brother and despite feeling safer with them than she would with Donovan, she is still very scared. A great beginning to the story. 
 As soon as his gaze settles on her face, and her red puffy eyes, he realized she'd been crying. Protective urges raced through him. He wanted to fold her in his arms and hold her. To assure her everything would be all right.
