Wicked Sinners MC #2

Diesel's Desire

Seventeen years ago, I buried Penny Carpenter in my past.
Back then, she was everything.
My first. My only. Mine in every way that mattered.
We were supposed to be forever. Until I chose the life.

The MC wasn’t just a club—it was blood, loyalty… destiny.
And once she got a taste of what that world really was, she left to earn a badge.
I thought I was over her... until she stormed back into our hometown, back into my life.

Seventeen years older. Just as fucking beautiful.
Untouchable in that uniform she wears like armor.
And now she’s digging into shit that should stay six feet under, shit that leads directly to my club.

She stands on one side of the law. I live on the other.
We were never supposed to collide again.
But the second I look at her, I realize the truth I’ve been running from all these years—I never really let her go.

And now that she’s back?
I don’t care what badge she wears… or what it costs me.
This time, I’m not letting her walk away.

Diesel’s Desire is the 2nd book in the Wicked Sinners series, A Second Chance Dark MC Romance by Arden Hart & Selena Winters. DIESEL'S DESIRE is the second book in the Wicked Sinners MC series; you can read it on its own, since Havoc and Sasha (the first book) are included, but they will not cause any confusion.

Penny and Diesel were a couple as teenagers and loved each other very much. Diesel joined the MC, and Penny then went off to pursue a career in law enforcement. At present, Diesel is Vice President of the MC, and Penny is a police officer... Could they possibly get back together?

I liked the story because it felt realistic; the difficulties they go through are real, and their reactions to them feel genuine. I also liked the fact that both sides told Penny and Diesel what would happen if things went wrong. Finally, I was happy that Penny's enthusiasm for catching criminals never ceased once she had started dating Evan.

I am not normally seen as a violent person, but never have I been more pleased with an article about someone being beaten at that moment. So, I want to stress again that 'triggers' (or content warnings) are meant to help people with possible triggers, not to present challenges.

I would definitely recommend it as an excellent continuation of the first book, and it is by no means a "sophomore slump" novel.

DIESEL'S DESIRE is the second book in the Wicked Sinners MC series, although you can read it as a standalone if you wish. Havoc and Sasha (book 1) do make an appearance here, but there's nothing to get confused over.

As for Diesel and Penny, they were together as teenagers and desperately in love. Diesel joined the MC, and Penny moved away to begin her career in law enforcement. He is now the VP, and she's a cop... There's no way they can be together, right?

I enjoyed their story as the obstacles they face are real, and so is how they behave. I loved that both sides made their opinions known to Penny and Diesel about how this could go down. I also love that Penny's love for catching the bad guy didn't just end when she got with Evan.

I like to think I'm not a violent person, but I have never been so happy to read about a beating before! For this reason, I will remind you that trigger warnings are there to help you, not to be seen as a challenge!

A great addition to the series, and certainly no second-book slump. Definitely recommended by me.

Wicked Sinners MC – Diesel

Sometimes following the law isn’t always black and white which is something that Diesel and Penny are dealing with. They were high school sweethearts and looking to get married until Diesel became involved with Wicked Sinners MC and Penny knew she couldn’t live that life so she left and became a cop. Now seventeen years later she is back and the feelings they both had is still strong. When a little girl is failed by the law maybe its time for Penny to see that there is a gray area which has to be met sometimes by people just like Diesel.

This was an awesome second chance romance and it was great seeing Diesel and Penny get their HEA. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🫦🫦🫦🫦 ☠️☠️☠️

This is the second book in Arden's Wicked Sinners MC series — and yes, you can absolutely read it as a standalone. 🖤

This time we follow Diesel, Vice President of the Wicked Sinners MC. When he crosses paths with his high school sweetheart again after 17 years, one thing becomes immediately, painfully clear — he never stopped loving Penny. Not even a little. 💔

But life had other plans for them both. Because Penny chose the other side of the line. She became a cop. And she is damn good at her job — driven, sharp and completely devoted to her career. Even if she knows, deep down in the place she doesn't like to visit, that Evan was always it for her. 😮‍💨

And then a little girl goes missing. And every single lead points in the same direction. Penny learns the hard way that in this world, money stands above everything — including justice. 😤

This story wrecked me in the most beautiful way. It is deeply emotional, fiercely human and holds up an uncomfortable mirror to the society we live in. I had tears in my eyes more than once. Consider yourself warned. 🥺🖤

But the HEA? Hard fought, hard earned, and so completely worth every painful page that came before it. 🔥

Go read this if you love forbidden love that time could never quite kill, justice that doesn't always come from the right side of the law, and a bad boy with a heart so soft for one specific woman it will absolutely undo you. 🏍️💙

17 years ago Diesel though he knew how his life would be. Penny had different plans though. They walked away from each other as teenagers and have come back 17 years later, as adults with the same feelings they had all those years ago. A second chance, MC/LEO romance where lines are blurred, and crossed. I loved this book, second chance romance books will always be one of my favorites.

Diesel’s Desire by Arden Hart and Selena Winters is a dark, spicy second-chance MC romance about Penny, a police officer, and Diesel, the outlaw biker she walked away from seventeen years ago.

Which already tells you these two are making excellent life choices. Naturally.

Penny built a career around the law. Diesel became vice president of the Wicked Sinners MC, a man surrounded by guns, criminal activity, leather, tattoos, and enough questionable decisions to keep a courthouse busy for years. When their paths collide again, all that old attraction comes roaring back with absolutely no respect for careers, ethics, common sense, or personal space.

And Diesel? This man has not moved on. Emotionally, he has been parked in 2009 with the engine running.

What made this work for me was the history between them. Their chemistry doesn’t feel random because they already loved each other once. There’s resentment, longing, jealousy, old heartbreak, sharp banter, and that delicious second-chance tension where both people know exactly how badly the other can wreck them.

Penny is strong, competent, stubborn, and not easily swallowed by Diesel’s personality. She knows loving him comes with very real consequences. That cop-versus-outlaw conflict gives the romance actual tension instead of everyone simply pretending his criminal life is decorative.

The spice? Five alarms. Diesel is dominant, possessive, filthy-mouthed, territorial, and very enthusiastic about reclaiming his woman. These two make reckless decisions with breathtaking confidence. I spent several scenes mentally yelling, “You are grown adults,” while continuing to read like I had somewhere important to be.

The book is fast-paced, addictive, and emotional, though some internal thoughts get repetitive and the moral conflict resolves a little more conveniently than I wanted. Also, the PDF blurb appears to belong to a completely different story, which was a spectacular little publishing jump scare. Diesels-Desire-Selena-Winters.pdf

The authors warn that this is a dark romance with dominance, possessiveness, psychotic behavior, explicit mature content, and potentially distressing themes. The book ends with an HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. Diesels-Desire-Selena-Winters.pdf

Triggers: explicit sex, rough/dominant sex, possessiveness, jealousy, pregnancy/breeding themes, unprotected sex, organized crime, firearms, violence, robbery, murder investigation, child abduction, alcohol use, and law-enforcement corruption.

Rating: ⭐ 4.25/5
Spice: 🌶️ 5/5
Darkness: 🖤 3.5/5
Chemistry: 🔥 5/5

Diesel is not a green flag.

He probably stole the truck carrying them.

Desiel's Desire by Arden Hart & Selena Winters

This book had exactly the kind of morally gray energy I was hoping for.

From the beginning, the attraction is immediate, dangerous, and very aware of itself.

“Everything about him is a felony waiting to happen.”

That line pretty much sets the tone. There is danger, obsession, questionable decisions, and the constant feeling that these two are standing on opposite sides of a line that is getting blurrier by the minute.

What I really enjoyed, though, was that the story wasn’t just about attraction to someone dangerous. A big part of the book is about what happens when your entire understanding of right and wrong starts to shift.

“I used to think the law was black and white. Right and wrong, clean lines, no room for anything in between.”

That conflict gave the romance more depth for me. It isn’t simply about throwing morality out the window because someone is hot and dangerous. It’s about realizing that rules, justice, and doing the right thing do not always fit neatly together.

And by the end, I loved where that journey led.

“I’m not asking you to change who you are. I’m asking if you’ll help me be who I want to be.”

That was probably my favorite line because it captures their relationship so well. Neither one is asking the other to suddenly become someone completely different. Instead, they have to decide whether they can accept each other as they are and still choose to build something together.

There is plenty of danger, chemistry, moral grayness, and spice, but the relationship was what kept me invested. I especially liked that the story allowed the characters to change without making that change feel like one person had to surrender who they were for the other.

Overall, this was a really enjoyable dark romance. Dangerous attraction, complicated morality, and two people figuring out that sometimes the world is a lot grayer than they were taught to believe.

The second book in the Wicked Sinners MC is here! This time, we are getting our VP’s story and when Diesel crosses paths with Penny again after 17 years? He’s determined to never be apart from her again.

🖤Second Chance
🏍️Forbidden Love
🖤High School Sweethearts
🏍️Cops Vs 1%
🖤Vigilante Justice
🏍️Spicy Times on His Bike
🖤Spicy Times in a Police Station
🏍️Use of Restraints
🖤Found Family

When they were in high school, Diesel and Penny were inseparable – she was everything to him and they were supposed to be each other’s forever. Then, Diesel chose a path for his life that Penny couldn’t follow…she wanted to be on the right side of the law and an MC club doesn’t mix with that. But now Penny is back after seventeen years and as their worlds collide, Diesel realizes he never let her go back then, and he won’t now…

MY HEART. I don’t want to spoil the “why”, but Diesel makes it very clear from the get-go that it’s always been Penny for him. Not once has he entertained anything of substance and the reminder he keeps of her on his person at all times will have you rooting for him like nobody’s business! The yearning for 17 years that goes both ways?! I ate it up just like Diesel likes to eat Penny 👀 (I couldn’t help myself…the man was starving after 17 years, just as he should be!). And the way these two end up working together? It will break your heart, but the vigilante justice will help stitch you back together. Diesel is morally grey in the best of ways, with a soft spot for Penny, and only her, that will make your heart melt!

Diesel asked Penny to marry him 17 years ago when they were both in high school. By that time Diesel was a prospect in a motorcycle club who were very active in illegal activities. Penny was scared of that life, told him no and drove away. She became a cop. Now she is a cop back in her home town. And she knows the MC is moving illegal guns but can't prove anything.

Then Diesel decides he should have fought harder for Penny all those years ago and pushes himself back into her life. At the same time Penny finds a pattern of child abductions and returns which might be linked to the 7 year old who has been missing for 6 days. But her Chief tells her to stay away from the rich man who owns half of the town, even though his name has become part of the pattern.

Selena Winters writes with feeling. You don't just read the story, you feel it and live it. The characters are great and often do unexpected things foreign to what you think you know about them. I never pass up a Selena Winters book. Grab this one today. Arden Hart is a new author to me, but she is the co-author of this book and as such I must also give her high praise for the end result. A good partnership for this series.

Diesel's Desire is the second story in the Wicked Sinners MC series. I could not wait to read this one and absolutely loved it. This is Diesel and Penny's story.

Diesel is the Vice President of the Wicked Sinners MC. He has a history with Penny. They were high school sweethearts and he wanted to marry her. He never got over their breakup and still loves her. Now she is a cop. When she gets invited to Havoc and Sasha's wedding, she decides to attend. She knows this means crossing paths with Diesel. She knew him as Evan before. He can't let her go and they have a steamy encounter. He can't walk away from her a second time. But their relationship is forbidden. They are on two separate lines of the law. When a little girl gets kidnapped, Penny is determined to find out what happens. She is not supposed to be investigating but she has to find the child. Will she be able to solve the case? And what happens with her and Diesel? You have to read this one to find out.

I loved the longing Diesel had for Penny. I love second chance romances and this one was amazing. I look forward to the next story in this series.

Penny may have walked away from Evan all those years ago to follow her dream, but he never stopped loving her. Evan, now patched with the MC, is their V.P. and goes by Diesel.

Penny has been back in the area for a while but hasn't bumped into Diesel; she's seen him from afar, and that's been hard. Now she's been invited to Prez, Havoc, and Sasha's wedding.

Penny and Diesel have to deal with their feelings for each other, ones that truly never went away. Every woman he's been with has been a replica of Penny. Can an officer, especially a V.P. and a detective, have any kind of relationship, given what the MC does? But the draw is only stronger now. Both now know what it could cost each of them. Can Penny reconcile her beliefs in law and justice with what she suspects, knowing she has open cases on her desk that point to their involvement?

Yet, sometimes the law fails. Money and entitlement speak louder. What happens when the system bows to their reach?

Love, loyalty, family, and justice are at the fore. Important decisions have to be made, ones that can affect their future together.

Favorite Quote:
“Doesn’t feel like a few weeks to me. Feels like two decades and a few weeks.”

Wicked Sinners MC book #2 Can be read as a standalone but I think it’s a more enjoyable if you have read Havoc’s Girl, the first book in the series.

This is Diesel’s (Evan) and Penny’s story. They were each other’s first love when they were both seventeen. Evan started hanging around the MC and chose the life and all it had to offer. Penny, afraid of that world, turned down Evan’s marriage proposal and left town to pursue a career in law enforcement. Now 17 years later she has returned to their town, and they are on different sides and their story continues….

What you can expect:

🖤Second chance
🏍️High School Sweethearts
🖤Forbidden MC x Cop
🏍️Vigilante
🖤MC Romance

Be sure to check trigger warnings there are some dark themes.

Thank you to Arden Hart and Selena Winters for allowing me to read an advanced copy via Book Sprout.

Looking forward to reading the rest of the brothers’ books.

This was such a wonderful second chance romance! I really loved Penny and Diesel’s story.
Penny is a cop and Diesel is a member of the Wicked Sinners MC. These two were high school sweethearts, but life took them in different directions. Now that they have found their way back to each other, Diesel is NOT about to let her go again!
I really loved watching these two come back together and seeing all those old feelings come rushing back. Diesel was determined this time around and I loved that about him.
But one of my favorite parts was watching Penny realize that not everything is as black and white as she had always believed. Seeing her start to understand Diesel, the MC and the people around him made her character growth so good.
There was plenty of romance, some danger, great MC family vibes and of course that second chance at love!.

Gotta love a red flag man who is down bad for his girl. Diesel (aka Evan) fell in love and wanted to marry his girl when they were 18. Instead, Penny packed up her car and ran from the MC life to become a cop.

It's now 17 days later and Penny is back in town. Diesel has been looking for love in every blonde he can bed - but of course, realizes this as soon as he sees Penny again. They are drawn together like magnets - opposites who cannot help but cling to each other in some very spicy ways. Let me be clear: this book is explicit, and not just with the main couple. If that's not your jam, this is not your book.

I enjoyed the way these two characters came back together and the push-pull of being on opposite sides of the law while being desperate for each other. The ending was gratifying. Will definitely continue with the series.

Loved this second chance love story with mystery/missing girl plot, biker and cop forbidden love, action, suspense, swoony MMC who never stopped loving her, headstrong police officer FMC who wants justice along with the love of her life.

Really loved the fact that Diesel and Penny both just picked up where they left off - they didn't fight about it, didn't hold grudges - they just knew they were both still the one for each other. Still had to deal with the criminal biker vs cop/who's side of the law is right or wrong issues to deal with - but they worked together to figure it out.

And, of course, you have cameos of Havoc and Sasha, more glimpses of Ace & Ryder (the next installment) and tidbits of other Wicked Sinners. Selena and Arden keep me intrigued and anxiously waiting the next book every time.

Diesel's Desire is a dark motorcycle club second chance romance where the Diesel is in the Wicked Sinner's MC and Penny is a cop. Once reunited after 17 years they find the connection and the chemistry between them is still there and they are unable to stay away from each other despite needing to.

The relationship isn't the only thing to move quickly in this story. The story and the changes to morals also progress quickly. Sometimes doing something that is considered wrong is what is needed to get results.

As this is a dark romance and covers some dark themes, check the warnings if needed.

History, heartbreak, and a connection that refuses to die even after seventeen years apart fuel this second installment in Arden and Selena’s Wicked Sinners MC series. Diesel is intense and unapologetically devoted even though his and Penny's reunion isn’t soft or easy; it’s sharp, messy, and charged with all the things they never said. With Penny returning to the plot as a badge-wearing force, digging into secrets connected to his club, the tension between them is constant and compelling. A few pacing moments felt slightly stretched, but overall this is a solid, “I’d burn the world down for you” addition to the Wicked Sinners MC world.

So excited for Diesel and Penny's story. I needed them to have a HEA! But because he is the VP of the MC and involved in unlawful activity at times and she is a police officer, how can they be together? She left 17 years ago because she didn't agree with him joining the MC. She comes back and he has only ever loved her and has missed her so much. She still loves him but she just doesn't know if she can turn a blind eye to what he does. Then when the law fails a little six year old girl and Penny needs to help her, she turns to Diesel. She finally sees that not everything is as it seems.

Book 2 of Wicked Sinners

I immediately got sucked into the story! This is second in the series and technically you can read as a standalone as I did. I love MC romances we follow FMC Penny who is a cop and MC biker gang member Evan Cole aka Diesel. We have dual POV and Penny and Diesel have a history back 17 years ago they were together but Penny left. I loved the characters and the chemistry between Diesel and Penny and it’s deep and spicy. I loved this from beginning to end. I can’t wait to continue with the series!

This is the second book of the Wicked Sinners MC- series. I enjoyed this book. It is a very touching second chance romance, at first it made me feel bad for the years lost for the characters but I got over it pretty quick. I read this in a few days, the story held my interest all the way.

The maincharacters are relatable and I liked them very much. They are described vividly and I can totally see them beeing reunited. The book has suspense that kept me turning pages. And the end is just perfect.
The book is spicy 🌶🌶🌶

I recommend this book to dark romance/ romantic suspense readers. Plus it's good for all who enjoy MC romances.

Fantastic Second Chance romance! 💜

I literally could not wait to read Diesel’s story and boy it didn’t disappoint!

The High School love he had for Penny never died and after seventeen years and being on different sides of the law, he has a chance to try again *sigh*

I loved how this story unfolded and how they proved they could work together to help solve a crime.
With really tense moments and spicy scenes, this read was addictive and the ending just made me cry happy tears. It was a wonderful read 😍

Sweet Ending

There’s not much communication. Whenever Evan and Penny are in the same room, they are having sex. Not much talking between them. I wish they had more heart to hearts. To explain what happened in the 17 years they were apart. But Diesel is still like able and Penny cannot resist him. There’s a subplot that is disturbing. But it’s necessary because it advances the resolution. The ending is very sweet and closes their chapter in a very satisfying way. I had wondered how the authors were going to give them their HEA. They do it in a very believable way.

Diesel's Desire is the second book in the Wicked Sinners MC series. It follows Diesel, the Wicked Sinners VP and Penny, who's now a cop. 17 years ago, Penny walked away from the boy she loved to follow a different path, though she never forgot what they once shared. Diesel is determined to make Penny his again when he sees her at Havoc's and Sasha's wedding. But they're on opposite sides of the law now standing in the way. Will they find their way back together? This was such a good book...I can't wait for the next one!

Diesel and Penny were young loves, but his life in the club showed her they couldn't be, she chose the side of the law. Now 17 years on Pennys back in town with cases that lead to the club. Diesel is VP and hes never gotten over losing Penny she was it for him. Is there a second chance on the cards for the pair? Well written the story and characters draw you in with desires, suspense, dark themes, second chances and more.

A thrilling romantic suspense story that grabs your attention from page one and doesn't let up until the end.

Arden and Selena have done it again! There is a reason I keep coming back for these books! They’re so bloody good!

Diesel’s Desire had me hooked, and the spice was spicing. The chemistry was so damn good, and I absolutely flew through this one. It had everything I want from a romance! Great chemistry, plenty of spice, and enough to keep me turning the pages.

Definitely a 5 star read from me! 🖤.

2.75 stars. I feel like I’ve read this story before… Didn’t really make sense after 17 years to reconnect when they were still on opposite sides of the law and that was the reason she left. Somewhat of a plausible resolution in the end, but they just seemed mostly driven by lust. And let’s be honest, 17 years and the H does nothing to get her back? That’s kind of lame.

Rooting for Diesel

Book 2 in the Wicked Sinners MC series is my favorite of the two so far. High School sweethearts meet again and sparks fly, but she's an officer of the law and he's the VP of an MC.
This book is hot and the main characters' chemistry amazing. You also visit with the rest of the MC family that you have met previously. I loved it.
