Autumn Jones Lake

Dark Romance Author

Hey there! I'm Autumn Jones Lake, and I write the kind of motorcycle club romance that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about "good" girls and "bad" boys. (Spoiler alert: Those labels are way too simple for the complex characters living in my head.)

I grew up devouring books of all kinds, but romance always had my heart. Still, I never imagined I'd end up writing about tattooed bikers and the women who bring them to their knees. Life's funny that way, isn't it? One day you're working a "respectable" corporate job, and the next you're staying up until 3 AM writing steamy scenes about motorcycle club presidents.

The Lost Kings MC series wasn't supposed to be my whole world. Rock and Hope's story (starting with Slow Burn) was meant to be one book. Just one! But these characters wouldn't shut up, and before I knew it, I had an entire brotherhood of bikers demanding their stories be told. Who was I to argue?

What can you expect from my books? Raw, gritty romance with a heavy dose of reality. My bikers aren't perfect - they're complex men living in a gray world, fiercely loyal to their brotherhood and the women they love. And my heroines? They're strong, smart women who don't need saving (but sometimes choose to let their men do it anyway).

The Lost Kings MC world has grown into something bigger than I ever dreamed. From Rock and Hope's epic love story to Teller's journey in Beyond Reckless, to Zero and Lilly's intense saga - each book peels back another layer of this world I've created. And let me tell you, writing White Knuckles nearly broke me (in the best possible way).

When I'm not writing about sexy bikers and the women who love them, I'm probably binge-watching crime documentaries, spoiling my dogs, or debating whether to have another cup of coffee (the answer is always yes). My husband has learned to live with my odd writing schedule and the fact that I sometimes talk about my characters like they're real people. (They are real in my head, okay?)

I believe in happy endings, but I make my characters work for them. Really work for them. You won't find any instant-love here - my couples fight, struggle, and sometimes bleed for their happiness. But isn't that what makes the victory so sweet?

To my amazing readers who've joined me on this wild ride - thank you. Your messages about staying up all night to finish "just one more chapter" make all those late-night writing sessions worth it. The Lost Kings MC family keeps growing, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Fair warning: Once you enter the world of the Lost Kings MC, you might not want to leave. These bikers have a way of getting under your skin. Trust me, I know - they've been living in my head for years now, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Want to know the real secret? I write these stories because they're the books I want to read. Passionate love stories with edge and heart, where family isn't just about blood, and loyalty means everything. If that sounds like your kind of escape, grab a book and settle in. The Lost Kings MC is waiting for you.

(And yes, I do know way too much about motorcycles now. Research is important, people!)
