ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 19, 2026

Isla
I wanted to be loved by a biker with my whole heart, but all they ever took was my body. Somewhere along the way, I stopped recognizing the woman I’d become. Inheriting my Nanna’s rundown house is the fresh start I need. A life away from the club. Away from men who only ever take. So the last thing I need is Jackal and Shade moving into the only other house on the street…and offering me more than just help with renovations.

Shade
I’ve never thought I was worth loving. I’m grumpy, withdrawn, and come with baggage. Jackal saw through all that and loved me anyway. For me, he chose monogamy. Men like me don’t get one great love, let alone two. But I’m looking at Isla differently now…and wondering if there’s a way to love her without destroying what we’ve built.

Jackal
I fell in love with Shade the day I met him, even though he had no intention of loving me back. He wanted monogamy, and he was worth the sacrifice. But now he’s looking at Isla the same way I am. And I can’t stop imagining a life where the three of us choose each other.

Until violence hits, and we don’t know which of us is the target. We’ve been given the kind of love you only dare to hope for. And we’ll burn the world down to protect it.

REVIEW:THE HOPE WE DARE is the seventh and final instalment in Scarlett Cole aka S. Cole’s contemporary, adult IRON OUTLAWS MC: COLORADO erotic, MC romance series. This is former club girl turned veterinarian assistant Isla, and club enforcers Garrett aka Shade, and Kai aka Jackal’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including menage and same $ex scenarios, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Isla, Shade, Jackal) THE HOPE WE DARE follows the polyamorous relationship between former club girl turn veterinarian assistant Isla, and club enforcers Garrett aka Shade, and Kai aka Jackal. Isla is a former Iron Outlaws MC club girl but months earlier, our heroine left the lifestyle realizing she was tired of being used. Upon the death of her grandmother, Isla inherited a fixer upper but never expected to come face to face with her new neighbors, club enforcers Shade and Jackal. Shade and Jackal are both bi-sexual . and in a committed same sex relationship with one another but upon witnessing an attack against our story line heroine, Jackal and Shade become guardian and protector of the woman with whom they will fall in love but all is not well, someone is targeting Isla, while someone else is targeting Jackal and Shade.

The world building follows several pathways including betrayal and vengeance, greed and obsession, same $ex relationships, and a barrage of sl*t shaming directing at our story line heroine. Isla is determined to make a new life for herself but several MC members, as well as the new people in her life, are constantly reminding Isla from where she came.

The relationship between Shade and Jackal is a same sex relationship, one in which they have kept close to their heart. As the member of the Iron Outlaws MC slowly become aware, the introduction of Isla completes their love, their home, and their own happily ever after but not everyone is happy, many seek to remind Isla about her past, while others struggle with Isla’s return to the Iron Outlaws MC. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

Most of the previous story line characters return in secondary and supporting roles. Families are expanding, while other battle with the ongoing drama. We are introduced to Isla’s co-worker Dr. Noah Lane, and the appearance of club girl Karlie. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE HOPE WE DARE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and emotional; the romance is seductive and edgy; the characters are determined and charismatic.

Reviewed by Sandy

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance books!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk about hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from you any time.

She is represented by Louise Fury at The Fury Agency.
