Violet Marcus’s life is settled. She has it all: a place of her own, a
business where her temper has its uses, and great people who work for her.
But something is missing. The problem is, her stubbornness refuses to admit how lonely she actually is.
She lost the one man she thought she could marry, a university love, but when their careers drive them in different directions they went their separate ways.
Now he’s back.
He’s also changed.
Unsure if she wants to hug him or throat punch him, she keeps her distance. Or tries to.
Travis Stewart moves to Ballarat for one
reason—to have Violet back in his life. His love has never diminished. Not
through the years, the distance, or even in the underworld he finds himself a
part of.
He will always love her.
Now he just has to convince Violet that his
heart is hers, and his soul isn’t as black as it seems.
His mission is simple: get Violet to understand
they have a future together before getting kneed in the balls. Easy, especially
as he refuses to be outplayed.
Lila was born in Brisbane Australia, her step-dad was in the
Army which caused them to move around a lot. They finally settled in country
Victoria, Australia. Being the youngest of four children she admits she was
spoilt a bit. Even drove her mum crazy when she refused to eat meat at a young
age.
Now, Lila lives with her husband and two children.
She started writing in 2013 and self-published the first of the Hawks MC: Ballarat Charter series- Holding Out. Since then, she has published eleven other titles, which range from erotica, humorous romance, YA and paranormal.

Outplayed is a standalone, but interconnected with the Hawks MC series. These characters were seen in the series, but you never knew their story and now you do. I have not read the full series and found that you can easily follow along without feeling left out. This is a quick read, but leaves you laughing and feeling like you just got Outplayed as well. Too funny!
Violet is the sister of Talon (MC president) and a PI. A successful one at that. Travis is part of the MC and his job is a shocker to all of us. Let's leave it at that. They share a past and he knew he messed up. Now he's back for Violet. She calls him out on his crap and he may just end up with some blue balls (not the way you think either).
I love how Violet was Outplayed and it may or may not have been by Travis. They shared a connection then and they continue to share this now even with all the time apart. While it was sad to endure the pain/loss they had with the events that unfolded it allowed them to grow as a person and for a little something to be brought into their lives (so full of sunshine!) Can Travis's job be a deciding factor on if they get a second chance at their HEA? I enjoyed that even though it was a short story, it felt like a full story for them (hope that makes sense). I will say that I am happy that Violet got some much needed closure on not only Travis, but from Talon as well. Long overdue if you ask me!
