Dani and her husband Tate’s life together is almost perfect. But Dani is haunted by guilt for causing a terrible car accident that left her unable to have children. She can’t remember why she was driving so fast that day or where she was going. Her therapist says she should try to move on.

So when their application to adopt is accepted, Dani sobs with joy. As perfect little Willow nestles in her arms, Dani looks at Tate’s loving smile and knows he will always provide for his family, no matter what.

When Dani sees a woman staring as she pushes Willow’s stroller around the safe, gated Florida community where they live, she tells herself it’s simply an admiring passer-by. After all, Dani herself used to watch the local moms and wish she was in their shoes.

But when Dani wakes in the night to find Willow’s crib empty, their perfect life becomes a nightmare.

In her frantic distress for her daughter, Dani’s memories of the accident flash through her mind. And with a jolt she realises: everyone around her has been lying about that day.

Will Dani find out the truth before it’s too late for her baby girl?

Or will facing her own dark secrets tear them all apart?

My life changed the night my abusive boyfriend traded me to a biker to pay off his gambling debt. But it wasn’t all terrible because Royal, the biker, turned out to be nothing like the outlaw who had been mistreating me for years. He refused to keep me against my will and even gave me a bundle of cash so I could be free to leave.

And I did, but not before experiencing a night of pure pleasure with my rescuer. His rough yet soothing voice and irresistibly muscular body made me consider staying, but Royal had made it clear that he wasn’t the relationship type. Also, my ex wasn’t going to leave me alone, and those close to me were also in danger. So, I decided to flee.

Only later did I realize that I had left with more than a broken body and shattered spirit—but with a secret in my womb.

For five years, I managed to keep my son safe, but my ex had not stopped hunting me. He grew more menacing and powerful, and he eventually tracked me down. Now, there is only one person I can turn to for protection: Royal.

But can he forgive me for leaving and save me once more?

Or will the truth about the child I kept from him ruin any chance of reconciliation?

“Royal” is the 16th book in the “Dark Slayers MC” hot and alluring romance series featuring bikers who will remind you why you like the bad boys so much. They’re protective, rough, and running on pure diesel and adrenaline.
Each book in the series is a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after for the couple, though it is recommended to read them in order for maximum enjoyment.
