In 1980s New York City, a crime reporter with little to lose risks the only thing that matters to uncover the truth….

Trisha Connell’s journalism reflects her punk rock lifestyle: relentless, confrontational, and bitingly honest. It’s a style that scores front-page headlines but has her forever teetering on the verge of victory or disaster. Now one crime will forever change Trisha’s life.

As she charges into the story of a sensational theft at an art museum, she discovers a murdered guard is someone she knew, a former foster kid who was adopted and supposed to be living a good life. To make it worse, the guard is suspected to be one of the thieves.

Determined to uncover the truth, Trisha bulls her way into the story, risking her life and career on what could be the story of the decade, if her editor doesn’t fire her first. She finds an ally in Edmund Grayson, a security expert assigned to the museum, who’s driven by his own guilt in failing to stop the murder.

Chasing the story will take Trisha from the punk clubs to the high society to the inner workings of newspapers of New York in the 1980s. It will take all her street skills to survive.

Hawk, Sergeant at Arms of the Devil's Murder MC, is loyal and cutthroat when it comes to his club.

He won't rest until the blood of his enemies has been spilled, and justice served. He'll make damn sure that Rook is avenged and his son Crow doesn't meet the same fate.

But Hawk didn't count on the feisty, outspoken, desperate girl needing to rescue her sister from the dirty politician wreaking havoc in Nevada and the escort service that trafficked her out of the city. Callie is willing to do anything to bring her sibling home—even offer herself to a playboy biker who refuses to be shackled with an ol' lady.

Hawk never gave a damn about anything other than his club and brothers. Living free and wild without attachment kept his life simple and easy. Now, he's falling for this sweet girl and willing to invest in more than one night in his bed. Callie has him twisted up, ready to go to war to save her family and hoping to claim the innocent, curvy blonde he can't get out of his head. When she disappears, he knows he's the only one able to save her. Can Hawk protect her when everything comes crashing down, or will his need for vengeance risk both their lives?

HAWK is a full-length, standalone bad boy romance with a slight paranormal twist. The series features take-charge bikers who adore and fiercely protect their women. This is a dark romance with violence, biker slang, forced proximity, and an OTT protective outlaw. For best enjoyment, the series should be read in order.
