Motorcycle Club Romance, Age Gap, Suspense
Date Published: March 21, 2025
In the heart of the South lies the Dixie Reapers MC -- an unbreakable brotherhood bound by loyalty and secrets. But when a fierce storm brews both outside and within the club, all bets are off.
Kasen -- I’ve spent my life hiding in the shadow of my father, Tank, the previous Sergeant-at-Arms for the Dixie Reapers. He’ll never understand my crush on Tempest, the current SAA, so I’ve kept it to myself. But until recently, I thought Tempest only saw me as a child. Now that I know he wants me the way a man wants a woman, I have to decide if I have what it takes to be his woman. Belonging to the Dixie Reapers’ Sergeant-at-Arms isn’t for the faint of heart.
Tempest -- I may be the Sergeant-at-Arms, but one pint-sized half-Hispanic woman has me tied in knots. I shouldn’t want Kasen. She’s off-limits -- one of Tank’s little princesses. Yet I can’t get her off my mind. When she’s kidnapped, I feel the rage taking over. They’ve dared to touch what’s mine, and now I’m going to make them pay. Once I have Kasen back by my side, I’ll make sure she’s never out of my sight again. I’m done hiding how I feel.
Get ready for a tumultuous ride of love, loyalty, and fierce retribution.
WARNING: Tempest is part of the Dixie Reapers MC series, but can be read as a stand-alone. It’s intended for readers 18+ due to adult situations, violence, and bad language. There’s no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA!
She’s his greatest temptation. He’s her biggest risk. Together, they just might fall...
Love? I don’t do that anymore. I’ve had my fill of betrayal, of trusting the wrong people, of letting my guard down only to be burned. My life is about control now—running the Freeman family empire, upholding our legacy, and keeping my heart locked behind walls no one can break.
Then she shows up.
Sierra Watson is nothing like the women I’ve known—bold, beautiful, and completely unimpressed by me. She challenges me, meets my sharp edges with smooth confidence, and refuses to be anything less than herself. I should stay away. I need to stay away. But when she looks at me, I feel something shift, something crack open that I thought was long dead.
But love has cost me before, and I can’t afford to lose again.
Sierra
I don’t have time for love. Not when my family is depending on me. Not when my sister’s reckless decisions have forced me into a second job I never wanted, working for the powerful Freeman family to clean up a mess I didn’t make.
Then I meet him.
Jabari Freeman is infuriating—cold, controlled, and way too arrogant for his own good. He pushes, I push back. But the more I fight it, the harder it becomes to ignore the fire between us. And when that fire ignites, it’s impossible to put out.
But love has never come without sacrifice for me. And just when I think I might finally have something for myself, the life I’ve been trying to escape comes crashing back in.
Jabari has his own demons to fight, and I have mine. The question is… are we strong enough to fight for each other?
