BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.

The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge.

The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.

Title: Tate

Series: Sinners MC Book 1

Author: J.A. Collard

Genre: MC Romance; Contemporary Romance; Romantic Suspense

Tropes: Slow Burn; Forbidden Romance; Grief Romance; Forced Proximity; Brothers Girl; Alpha Hero; Protector Romance

Release Date: July 16, 2026

I'm the President of the Sinners Motorcycle Club — one of the youngest in the country. I didn't get here by accident. I got here because I'm the man people turn to when things need doing. The man who keeps his word.

My best friend and brother died protecting me. His last words were a promise he asked me to keep — look after his woman, Sophia.

Simple enough. Except Sophia is a thorn in my side.

She was supposed to go home, grieve, and get on with her life. Instead she keeps turning up at the Blood Brothers clubhouse like she can hold onto him if she just stays close enough to where he used to be. I get it. I do. But that's not a life — and I owe my brother more than letting her disappear into one.

So I bring her home. Keep her close. Keep my promise.

What I didn't plan for was her.

The way she fits into my house, my mornings, my life — like she was always supposed to be there. The way I find myself watching the door when she's out too late. The way something shifts inside me that has no business shifting at all.

I want her. God help me, I want her.

And that changes everything.

TATE — Sinners MC Book One. A slow burn MC romance about loyalty, grief, and a love that was never supposed to happen.

J.A. Collard is a Melbourne-based author setting hearts (and eReaders) on fire with her steamy, addictive MC romance series, Blood Brothers MC.

A proud Aussie mum by day and a passionate storyteller by night, she’s the queen of badass bikers, fiery heroines, and stories that keep readers up way past bedtime.

J.A. married her high school sweetheart, and together they’re raising two amazing kids—proof that soulmates and happily-ever-after's exist, both on and off the page.

Her debut novel Tame Me burst onto the scene in 2016, quickly followed by Tamed and Taming Hawke, which all climbed to the top of the charts and built a fiercely loyal fanbase of romance lovers who can’t get enough of her raw emotion, sizzling tension, and that signature Collard heat.

What started as a dream scribbled in quiet nighttime hours has grown into a full-blown writing career. With each book, she brings her readers deeper into a gritty, passionate world where danger, love, and loyalty ride side by side.

While she’s got big plans to tell every biker’s story, she’s also working on fresh projects guaranteed to set pulses racing.

When she’s not writing or wrangling her real-life crew, you’ll find her dancing like no one’s watching, binge-reading spicy romance, or laughing loud with friends and family.
