Maggie

One wild night to lose myself… instead, I accidentally found myself a baby daddy.

After my ex spent years tearing me down, convincing me I wasn’t enough, the idea of trusting anyone feels impossible. But Lachlan comes into my life and almost makes me believe I’m worth it… and that he’s worth the risk.

He’s so patient and steady, showing up at my door for midnight cravings and morning sickness. Determined to be a part of our child’s life, even if we’re not together.

I’m so tired of being alone, and having someone feels too good to be true.

So when he asks "can we try?" I want to say yes and believe him.

Lachlan

From the first moment I met Maggie, I knew she was one of the good ones.

But it wasn’t until I heard the life-altering news that she was carrying my baby, that I knew I’d support her no matter if we were “together” or not.

I’m all in—for her and the baby. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being about doing the right thing.

I don’t just want to be a part of my child’s life. I want to be part of hers. Not just for nine months. Or eighteen years. I want forever.

And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove that I’m man enough to be what she needs. For both of them.

(Dixie Reapers MC)

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!
