First Chapter Derek

Sonja Madden knows exactly who she is—a strong, independent submissive. But when a silver-fox Daddy Dom walks into Club Indigo, her carefully maintained walls start to crumble.

First Chapter Hurting Hunter

Inside the walls of Thorns & Roses is the only place Hunter Maddox can truly be himself.

The only place he can get on his knees for another man, the only place he can surrender himself to the likes of Ethan Stephenson. In the club, they are a perfect match, one needing pain as much as the other needs to give it.

Outside the club, it’s a different story. As the president of Overdrive MC, Hunter is used to operating on the opposite side of the law from Detective Stephenson. They have nothing in common—and everything keeping them apart.

Until they’re faced with an unimaginable horror plaguing their town. Now, they’ll have to wade into each other’s worlds if they have any hope of saving the people they care for the most.

And of finally letting the love they’ve kept in the dark for so long out into the light.

A hum of activity filled the construction site as Daniel "Dan" Carter looked over the plans for the new downtown development. He ran a calloused hand through his short, cropped hair, squinting under the midday sun that turned his hardhat into an oven. His team maneuvered around him, their steel-toed boots kicking up dust among the stacks of supplies and the rhythmic dance of the cement mixer.

"Hey, Carter, where do you want this load?" Yorick Cannon yelled over the cacophony of drills and hammering.
