The Biker Bodyguard
Logan Chance
Dark Romance

Tia November is not the kind of girl who ends up in a motorcycle club compound. She talks to her houseplants, apologizes to vending machines, and once got detention for drawing smiley faces on her algebra test. She’s absolutely not equipped for this.

But someone’s been watching her, her father is terrified, and the only people he trusts to keep her alive are the Royal Bastards of Key West. Specifically their president. Reef “Kraken” Ryder, who is tall and tattooed and looks at her like she’s already his and hasn’t decided whether that’s a problem yet.

Kraken doesn’t do soft. He does control, loyalty, and violence when necessary. He doesn’t do feelings for the smart-mouthed civilian sleeping in his bed while his club is under attack and a cartel is closing in.

He’s doing a terrible job of not doing feelings.

The Biker Bodyguard is a spicy MC romance about a dangerous man who didn’t plan to fall, a woman who’s more useful than anyone gives her credit for, and a houseplant named Kevin who survives everything.

Paranormal Romance

Bound by blood, divided by destiny.
One bite is all it takes to fall under their spell.
One touch makes me realize—I never want to escape.

I’ve always known vampires were the enemy. But one night, everything goes terribly wrong and I’m forced to make an impossible choice. Perish, or become one of the immortal creatures I despise. I wake up transformed, starving, at the mercy of two dangerously seductive males—Blake Marten and Riordan Graves.

Blake gives me the most memorable night of my life, then throws me away, leaving me wanting more.
Riordan offers me a deal. Drink, survive, and get my revenge on the creature who stole my sister.

We all crave vengeance, and I’ll have mine, hopefully before I lose my soul—and my heart—to my merciless captors.

Halo City wants her silenced. Banks wants her in his arms.
