But our family secrets could tear us apart… It’s been ten years since I was forced to let Zara go. I joined the military and fought hard to forget her, but since I returned home to become our club’s Sergeant at Arms, I’ve always watched from afar to make sure she’s safe. Now Zara is back in Crown Village on the anniversary of a traumatic event that changed her family forever. And I can’t stay away. I can see the longing for me in her eyes, yet she hesitates to get too close. She’s scared to trust me again, and I don’t blame her. When new information linked to her family tragedy comes to light, I’m determined to help solve the mystery and find the answers she needs because the War Brothers MC protects our own. But digging up the past means revealing secrets that someone wants to remain dead and buried. And when they’re uncovered, they have the power to destroy our bond forever… Grab a copy of Bomber now! MISSING YOU New adult standalone set in the Crown Village world I’d forgotten my past. But he hadn’t forgotten me . . . For as long as I can remember, it’s been Mom, the alcohol, and me. But that’s the thing: there was a past, before the accident. Then amnesia robbed me of my first twelve years of memories. Mom confides only in the bottle, so I’m left guessing what kind of childhood I had. But now I’m back in the town where I grew up, and for the first time, I have answers to my questions—answers I never saw coming. I’m not the same person I was—but neither is Ashton De Santis. A bare-knuckle fighter in the ring, rippling with power . . . and my childhood best friend. As Ashton gently reintroduces me to our history, it’s difficult not to let old affections catch alight. But even as our chemistry sizzles, I can’t help feeling I’m going to get burned. As much as I want Ashton, this is something I just can’t afford. Because if I lose him again, it’ll haunt me for a lifetime. Check out the sneak peek of Missing You at the back of the book. Grab a copy of Missing You now!

I’ve never been so attracted to a woman. I take a swig of my beer and watch as she talks to her sister, Elena. We are at Elena and Axle’s wedding. The men mentioned Elena had a sister, but I have never seen her before today, and I know I won’t be forgetting her anytime soon. She leans in, picks up her champagne, and takes a few sips. When she places it on the table, the strap of her dress falls from her shoulder, and all I want to do is taste her. I readjust myself in my seat. Viper elbows me. “You like her?” He gives Elena’s sister a pointed look. Bomber leans in from the other side of me,
