Can a lawyer and a criminal maintain an enduring romantic relationship?
Although Hope and Rock care deeply for one another, the truth is they come from completely different worlds. Add to that the fact that they are also both headstrong people, and they have a very rough road ahead of them.
For Rock that means introducing Hope to what it really means to be part of his brutal and shady world, where the Lost Kings Motorcycle Club is his main focus. For Hope it means accepting the things she can’t change, and understanding that Rock is a man who will do anything to keep her safe.
As Rock continues to draw Hope deeper into his world, painful misunderstandings and opposition from the members of his club will threaten to drive them apart.
As an only child, Autumn kept herself entertained by making up all sorts of stories. For a long time, life and school dimmed her enthusiasm for creative writing. But as soon as she rediscovered her love of storytelling, she put her fingers to the keyboard and hasn’t looked back.
Her favorite books to read are mystery, thrillers, horror, romance, erotica and urban fantasy. Her favorite thing to write is romance. All of her stories have to include a hunky hero and an optimistic ending.
When she’s not writing, Autumn spends time listening to music, going to concerts, and driving her family nuts. She enjoys reading, gardening, acting, and collecting nail polish. (Her husband says she shouldn’t be allowed to include gardening in her list of hobbies, because she makes him do all the work, but that’s not relevant.)
Autumn lives in Upstate New York with her husband and their three rescue dogs. She is actively involved with several dog rescue groups and her local RWA chapter.

Tasty Book Tours Q&A with Autumn Jones Lake Author of New Release, CORRUPTING CINDERELLA (Lost Kings MC Book #2)
~Autumn, thanks for taking the time to chat about your latest book in the Lost Kings MC Series, CORRUPTING CINDERELLA.
Let’s talk about the Series, had you originally planned to have Hope and Rock as the Hero and Heroine of the second in the series, or did you feel their journey needed more of a destination?
Their story was originally one book, but as it grew (and grew!) it became clear it would need to take place over three books. The two of them were coming from so far apart, such different worlds, it was going to take a quite a bit to get them together and have it be truly believable. Plus, even though the first three stories belong to Rock and Hope, the other members play very vital and active roles, as I am also setting up their stories.
~How Much fun have you had writing the Lost Kings?
So much fun! I love these guys.
~Who is your Favorite Character of the Series?
I adore Rock and Hope and I’ll be sad when I finish their story. I keep telling myself it’s my series and I can do what I want with it, so if I feel there is a story to tell there, I can always go back to them if I want to. LOL! I will say Wrath is definitely the most vocal and demanding character.
~With so many MC Romances releasing left and right, are you finding it difficult to come up with fresh ideas for the series, or do the storylines, and plots just come to you as you are writing?
First, I have to say, I’m a romance writer at heart, but some of the typical “rules of romance” can be confining. I’m also a rule-breaker, so MC Romance is very appealing to me for that reason.
I think, at least with the first books, I shied away from the “typical” MC Romance story lines. I wasn’t interested in doing anything where the heroine is abducted by a rival club or attacked or anything like that. It’s been done. I had no interest in the scenario where the hero and heroine get into a tiff and he goes and gets one of the club girls to service him and the heroine catches him in the act. That’s pretty standard stuff in MC Romances, and that’s fine. It’s realistic for the sub-genre. What interested me more, was the inherent conflict of an unapologetic criminal and a lawyer getting together and falling in love despite their vast differences. I mean, they meet when she’s working in court as an attorney and he’s in handcuffs and a prison jumpsuit—it’s hard to picture a relationship blossoming out of that scenario! I don’t know how you could make that work in a single novel.
But to answer the question better, the plots and story lines just keep coming with these characters. Rock is a highly-possessive, alpha male, who runs a criminal enterprise, and Hope is a well-educated, independent woman who has taken an oath to uphold the law. Their story pretty much writes itself.
~How many books do you have planned for the Lost Kings MC Series?
Right now, 6 - 8. Book 4 will be Wrath’s story. 5 will be Z’s or Murphy’s. It depends on who is more vocal at the time. And I definitely plan for a wedding novella or two. Wrath’s story is complicated, but it will be interesting as it goes back in time to when the Lost Kings were coming out of some dark times. A lot of questions about Trinity’s past will also answered. It will be vastly different from Rock and Hope’s story in a lot of ways. I think it’s going to shock people, but at the same time stay true to the world I’ve created.
~What are you currently working on?
I was literally working on Book 3 right before I sat down to do this interview! It gets intense pretty quick, so I needed to take a break.
~Thank You so much for chatting today!!
Thank you for having me!
