From the moment her father is gunned down on 'Club business', Scarlett witnesses the power and control behind the Glory Bounds MC. They spin a series of events leading up to his death that can't possibly be true. She doesn't believe them, but has no evidence to bring her father's name back to justice.
As Scarlett's home life comes crashing down, she becomes the mother figure for her fifteen-year-old brother, while their mother finds her cure to depression at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
One life mistake leads to another and she finds herself expecting a baby with an abusive partner she can't escape. She gets help from a member of the Glory Bounds MC, the very same club she despises.
Escaping the city of Chicago, Scar finally starts believing she's on the right path.
Brody 'Lone' Wolfe
As Brody becomes the sole survivor to the Glory Bound's MC President, it's his duty to take up his father's place at the head of the table. But that's not what Brody wants for his life. Instead he's content continuing his role as the Club's mechanic like his late mentor Snake.
After losing his entire family over the years, Brody has become weary of about taking on anymore responsibilities in life. Satisfied with focusing purely on himself and his work within the Club, he takes whatever risk possible to keep everyone at arms length, including the many advances of the women around him.
Throwing himself into the Club seemed like the best solution to problems until that work leads him to her, the girl he's heard countless stories about, but has never met. The girl he unknowingly fell in love with at the age of sixteen. The girl who's picture rests in the pocket of his Cut.
Born and raised in Canada, Ontario, I live with my husband and my fur babies.
Recently Lyssa Dawn and I have become a duo. Together we’ve formed our partnership as Belle's Romance and I are finding our place in the author world.
It’s Always Been You is our debut novel and we’re excited to bring you steamy and heartwarming contemporary romance with emotionally compelling characters you won't soon forget.
This was a great, fast read the only downfall..it's a novella and in the end you'll want a full length novel because you'll want more of Brody and Scarlett. I'm still wanting more from them.
Brody and Scarlet have a tangled past that she is unaware of but she knows Brody is hiding something. Brody is drawn to Scarlet the moment he sees her but the secret he's holding for the club could ruin what they have before it even starts.
This book is amazing. I loved, loved, loved it! The story pulls you in and I cannot wait to read more about what the future has in store for Scarlett and Brody. It felt realistic to me in a way that tragedy has brought them together. Oh, and the tattoos? Yes please!
I think that having Scarlett as the tattoo artist instead of a man also shows how well women can achieve anything. Not to mention even owning it! This was a big factor as to why I wanted to read it and it did not disappoint. Your time will not be wasted reading this. We need strong women and their stories need to be hear. Scarlett is proof of this and that hardship cannot permanently knock you down.
I’m so excited to read more and more about this story. There were a lot of grammatical errors in the ARC but since then, Heron has edited the hell out of it.
Read this. You’ll want more. I know I do.

3.5 Stars First things first; I really like the cover of this book. This story is short, mixed paced and an interesting read. I read this book in one sitting and although I liked the story I was confused a handful of times. Whilst reading this story, it felt like I had started reading a story in the middle. I also need to know if this story continues in another book or if this was all. As I felt like there were a lot of things left unsaid. I have to say; I felt like there were a few potential moments to make twists an turns that kind of fell flat/got dropped. I liked Brody and Scarlett. I liked how Brody was linked to Scarlett’s father and the hint of romance between them. Scarlett is a single mother and a business owner. She owns a tattoo shop. When Brody wants to get a memorial tattoo, he meets Scarlett and discovers their shared link.
I loved this story that introduced Scarlet and Brody. Scarlet has had some rough times in her life and is trying to put her life together when Brody walks into her tattoo parlor. Brody has also had a rough start and when he recognizes Scarlet he wants to help her through some of hers and make it right.
The only problem with this book was i didn't want it to end and I can't wait til the next one to see where they pick up and what happens. I think this is a truly amazing story that is only gonna get better. Definitely recommend.
I loved this short little intro to Scarlette and Brody- I was a little bummed it was being turned into a series because I just wanted to read their entire story but also just because I'm impatient. Can't wait for the rest of their story!!!
I really enjoyed reading this book. This was a nice easy read and I can’t wait for more in this series. I think the characters were really thought out and I could vividly imagine each scene that happened in the book. I haven’t read too many MC books but I liked how this one was portrayed and the detail that was included. Great read, highly recommend!
Wow, I loved this story! This is a fast paced book and extremely easy to read. The main characters were easy to fall in love with, their flaws and all, and the story itself was realistic and amazing. Great story, even better characters, and I can't wait for more. Highly recommended!
This was a fun read. A nice short novella about life and discovery of truth. The characters were each unique. So many underlying stories I can feel the possibility of a nice long series.
Wow what can I say but I loved this book it’s not normally the type of book I would read but I am so glad I did as I fell I love with the two characters scar and Brody and the story. Brody is in club and new scar father and he had heard many story’s about scar from her father and he has carried a picture off her around for many years but never meet her. Until a chance meeting when he goes to see about getting a tattoo done and he realises it is scar. The author has done a great job with the storyline and especially the characters and I so need the next book so I can out what happens next.
Want a great fast read that will keep you hanging on to every word? That's this book. It jumps into the story of Brody and Scar right away. They are strangers that have a common connection. He is in a motorcycle club and she is against the club. They can't deny the attraction towards each other. And their histories combine in a way they never would have guessed. The whole time you are reading you are craving for the information that this book teases you with. Good first book to get you hooked. Can't wait to learn more about this couple and their story. I have so many questions!
A great story that is fast paced with fabulous writing. Brody and Scar are damaged in their eyes with amazing personalities that are felt throughout the entire story. They have a connection with each other and chemistry towards one another. Scar is a tough, feisty lady that doesn't hold back. Brody is going through things that has him being the "lone wolf". It is a fabulous read that isn't disappointing. The only disappointment is you want more. It kind of ends in a cliffhanger but is still extremely worth reading. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.
