Caine McKannon is all about rules. As the Raven Riders Sergeant-at-Arms, he prizes loyalty to his brothers and protection of his club. As a man, he takes pleasure wherever he can get it but allows no one close—because distance is the only way to ensure people can’t hurt you. And he’s had enough pain for a lifetime.

But then he rescues a beautiful woman from an attack.

Kids and school are kindergarten teacher Emma Kerry’s whole life, so she’s stunned to realize she has an enemy—and even more surprised to find a protector in the intimidating man who saved her. Tall, dark, and tattooed, Caine is unlike any man Emma’s ever known, and she’s as uncertain of him as she is attracted. As the danger escalates, Caine is in her house more and more – until one night of passion lands him in her bed.

But breaking the rules comes at a price, forcing Caine to fight dirty to earn a chance at love.

 

Laura Kaye has outdone herself! During the Raven Riders series, she’s brought us many compelling men … the tough guy, the heart of gold, the single dad, etc. and now we’re introduced to the ultimate wounded soul. His story draws us in quickly and once he crosses paths with Emma, we know magic is about to happen. She’s the definition of sweet and innocent and he’s self-proclaimed dirty and unworthy. Together, they are really special. I really loved their story! The characters are well-developed and extremely powerful, the plot is intriguing and the overall enjoyment of the story is easy. The only thing I would have wanted more of is interaction with the club and clubhouse a little more, but overall a great read!

As the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club, Caine McKannon works hard to keep the only thing that means a thing to him in this world safe … his brothers. He keeps his distance because he learned long ago that love hurts, but he’d do anything in the world for his club. He has his fun when it’s convenient, but never anything more … with anyone … until she appears in his life.

Kindergarten teacher Emma Kerry is extremely thankful when a mystery stranger comes to her rescue during an attack. He’s a standoffish MC guy with a hard stare, lots of ink and a body hard as steel … but she swears she sees something else when she looks into his eyes. As strange things start to occur around her, and Caine winds up being there to help her more and more often, the tension they feel when in each other’s company eventually explodes and lands him in her bed. He’s not a forever kind of guy, but she just might be the closest he’s ever come to actually wanting to be!

Married to the enemy

When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov-cold, domineering, and always one step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City. She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this marriage easy for him.

Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon-if she doesn't bring him to his knees first.

 

Explosively satisfying! We’ve been waiting for Dmitri’s story for so long, and it does not disappoint! From the very start of the series, we’ve been seeing mention of the evil Russian who was a thorn in the O’Malley family’s side throughout all of their business dealings. He’s been trying to get a foot in their door for a long time, and was going to be a constant threat until he got his way. Keira puts the family first and thrusts herself into his lair, but it doesn’t take her long to discover that there’s more to this Russian than she ever thought. Their journey is touching, as well as exciting. Great read!

Keira O’Malley will do anything to keep her family safe … even make a deal with the devil! She might be the youngest of the O’Malley siblings, but she’s been touched by the crime and trauma of their lifestyle just as much if not more as each of her siblings. She finally checked out of life a couple of years ago when one loss took her breath and her foundation away. Now if she has to marry Mr. Evil himself in the form of Dmitri Romanov, so be it … at least her siblings will have peace!

Russian Dmitri Romanov has been trying to get an “in” with the O’Malley family for years now, but keeps being foiled. When he set his sights on Keira, it became personal because she is unlike any previous conquest. She’s gotten underneath his skin without even trying to. He can see the broken soul that lives beneath the iron will and heated barbs she throws his way on a constant basis. It might still be all about business, but having this firecracker as his wife is going to be a delight if it’s the last thing he does!

Someone desperately wants her dead.
A stranger is her only hope.

Alone and on the run for the past two years, Holden Crawford knows helping Ella Butler will only bring him trouble. But not rescuing one of Cattle Barge’s wealthiest daughters isn’t an option and now he’ll risk everything to protect her. Once her would-be killers are caught and Holden knows Ella is safe, will revealing his darkest secrets bring them closer…or force her out of his life forever?

 

An exciting kick-off to Barb Han’s latest series! We’re quickly thrust into the middle of the action as Holden rescues Ella and their stories begin to unfold. The mystery is kept alive throughout the book with us following snippets of clues to try to figure out alongside them who the immediate threat is to her, and to find out once and for all who set him up for a fall two years ago. The characters are easily likable and fairly well developed. The plot keeps us guessing up until the end!

Accidentally witnessing a murder attempt is not a position Holden Crawford wanted to be put in, but once it happens, he can’t refuse helping the victim … even though he recognizes her as being from one of the wealthiest families in Cattle Barge, TX and it could put him in the spotlight. Holden has been on the run for two years now for crimes he was accused of but didn’t commit … he’s living his life under the radar and without contact with anyone, but for this woman, he’s going to have to make an exception!

Ella Butler is woozy and unsure when she wakes up in a cabin with a strange man. He’s not super forthcoming with answers, but he did rescue her when he didn’t have to, so he can’t really be a bad guy … can he? When danger rears it’s ugly head again when she tries to go to the authorities, he finds himself circling back to help her again and taking her on the run with him. As the story of his past comes out, they set out to find answers that will free both of their torments.

She has a murderous past.

Will it destroy her future, too?

Mila Ramirez has never stopped trying to outrun the sins of her serial killer parents. But her hard-fought new life starts to unravel when she finds an employee dead. Trusting strong, sexy police chief Sam Douglas forces her out of isolation, even as it brings a murderer closer. Mila narrowly escaped evil before. This time it wants to destroy everything she loves—including Sam.

 

Tormented intrigue! A powerful plot takes us on an emotional journey of second chances and overcoming trauma. The characters are really easy to like and grab out attention quickly. The plot is disturbingly unique and has the potential to be great … while it falls a little flat in some parts, it’s still a really interesting read!

Mila Ramirez has worked hard to overcome her past, but she’s afraid it’s suddenly coming back to haunt her! Getting past a childhood raised by twisted serial killer parents was hard enough, but now dead bodies seem to be turning up around her and bringing all of those ugly memories rushing to her mind! Is this somehow about her? And if so, who has set their sights on tormenting her … and why?

It doesn’t take long for police chief Sam Douglas to realize there’s more to Mila than meets the eye. He sort of takes her under his wing to ease her discomfort after the first crime scene surfaces, and winds up really liking her. But there seems to be some connection to her and murders … can he figure out what it is before another body shows up?
