Every one of his brothers in the Blood Fury MC has them.
Including Rook.
Especially Rook.
What he’s done in his past. What he’s involved in currently. What he still needs to do.
Even worse, what he’s tempted to do.
With someone no one expects.
Least of all him.
But resisting her is impossible, no matter how much he tries.
Problem is, his club’s on the verge of war, so she’s either with the Fury or against them.
If she’s against them, she’s against them all.
Including Rook.
Especially Rook.
Which will turn the thin line into an insurmountable wall dividing them forever.
Note: Blood & Bones: Rook is the seventh book in the Blood Fury MC series and is an enemies-to-lovers romance. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. It’s recommended to read this series in order.
She had the devil on one shoulder, an angel on the other, and she was about to flick that angel off and tell her to go hide for a while. She needed to spend a little time with the devil.
A devil whose name was Rook.

From an early age, I was bullied and abused.
Forced in to submission.
Forced to be a victim.
Until one fateful day just before my sixteenth birthday when I finally cracked.
With the snap of a finger, I was a changed girl.
No longer timid.
No longer frightened.
Instead, I armed myself with the knowledge of their secrets.
All who had bullied me.
All who had abused me.
I am no longer their victim.
The timid little plaything they can pick up whenever they damn well please.
Now I am vengeance.
I am the eye of the storm.
Nothing and no one can stand in my way.
And if anyone dare try …
Be prepared to pay in blood.

About Jaimie
Jaimie Roberts was born in London, but moved to Gibraltar in 2001. She is married with two sons, and in her spare time, she writes.
In June 2013, Jaimie published her first book, Take a Breath, with the second released in November 2013. With the reviews, Jaimie took time out to read and learn how to become a better writer. She gets tremendous enjoyment out of writing, and even more so from the feedback she receives.
My whole life, I’ve been looking for love. I find it and lose it often. I’ve accepted that love will be fleeting whenever I have it. So, I fall fast and hard every single time. I finally found someone who agreed to stick around. Ever since our trip to Vegas, she’s been wearing my ring. But that wasn’t the only thing that happened in Vegas. And when they say, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? They lie. It doesn’t. And I don’t know how to tell her. Either of them. Telling one of them could ruin what I have, and telling the other could ruin everything for her.
SKY ~
In the blink of an eye, life as I know it ends. My best friend is hiding something. His fiancée hates me. My fiancé is being weird. Then tragedy strikes, and I’m left floundering. So much is changing, and I can’t keep up. The solution is simple, or so I think. But Maddox thinks my plan is foolish. And I think he’s probably right. But I have no choice. It’s what I have to do in order to protect her. She’s innocent and needs me.
Is their love written in the sky or will loss erase their forever?
So, I know these things are generally written in third person as if someone else is talking about me. But I just can’t do it. LOL. It may be “unprofessional,” but I’m just me. And I hope that’s OK with you guys.
I’m a Carolina girl, through and through. I have lived in North Carolina my whole life. I’m a wife, a mom, a scientist and a freelance editor. And I’m really excited to add author to the list.
For as long as I can remember, reading has been my favorite way to pass the time. I always have a book with me and usually am reading more than one at any given time. Editing for indie authors gave me a unique glimpse into the indie publishing world. It’s a world I’m really enjoying becoming a part of.
They call me the billion-dollar box office kid and People’s most eligible bachelor, but everyone should know better. That carefully curated persona is a Hollywood fabrication.
Thanks to Forever being a box office smash, I’m returning to Lake Hope to film the sequel. The paparazzi is working overtime speculating that my on-screen romance with my co-star Kimberly Conrad is evolving off-screen.
On-screen I’ll continue to play the romantic lead but off-screen I’m a different person with a secret that would destroy the image so many have worked so hard to maintain.
I don’t relationships. I don’t do romance.
Jill Hanover
I wrote the words that convinced America that Trace and Kimberly are the perfect couple. My script for the movie Forever propelled the beautiful ones to an on-screen HEA. Of course, the emotions of the movie felt real to so many because they are – they’re mine. I carry a stupid crush for the most unattainable man in Hollywood. I’m invisible to him and I’ve fed all my words of love to Kimberly, the one woman who actually has the ability to steal his heart.
I can’t let this happen. It’s time to go off-script.
Mel Walker has been writing fiction most of his adult life. Specializing in Short Stories and Contemporary fiction and Romance Novels. A native New Yorker and life-long frustrated NY Mets fan. He loves to write about ordinary people placed in difficult situations, especially as it relates to their closest relationships.
It’s funny how you can go through life thinking everything is normal when you’re anything but. The world of an Italian American is different than that of any other culture, especially here in New York City.
Our traditions are strange, our accents odd, and food comes second only to family. My ancestors came over from Sicily at the turn of the century. No money, living in filth, and begging for scraps. A life of crime doesn’t appear as bad as it is when your family is dying in the street.
My name is Giacomina Gambino and I’m a mafia princess.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn with a silver spoon in my mouth and a gun in my purse. Nothing or no one can mess with me, and if it happens — Daddy takes care of it.
Now I’m twenty-eight, ready to settle down, and I have to choose a husband. Someone my parents approve of and someone who will stay out of my way. I might have to get married, but nobody said anything about it being for love.
If you love Rachel Van Dyken and JM Dathower you’re going to be obsessed with Angela Agnello’s debut series, Conquering the Throne.
Angela Agnello was born and raised in Queens, NY. She grew up in an Italian American household filled with love and happiness. The woman in her life taught her how to be strong, independent, and smart. She may have gotten hit with the wooden spoon, but she also learned how to cook sauce with it. Her mafia tales are fiction, but she likes to think there is a Jack out there somewhere ruling the men in her life. Prima la famiglia.
Posy When I fell for Dario Volpe, I thought he was Prince Charming, and I was the luckiest girl alive. He didn’t care about my past. The talk. The stain on my family’s reputation. Then he saw something I never wanted anyone to see. He cares now. This isn’t a breakup, it’s a warning shot, and if I want to get out of this bad romance alive, I have to run and never look back. Dario Volpe is no storybook hero. He’s a psychopath, and he can’t decide—kiss me? Or kill me?
Dario I’m the man behind the curtain, the power behind the throne. I could have killed her, and no one would have blinked an eye. Posy Santoro isn’t exactly a mafia princess. No one sees her as clearly as I can—the perfect mind hidden by the knockout body in the tight dress. I’ve made a mistake, running her off, but now I get to play one of my favorite games. Posy can run, but she isn’t made to be free. She’s made for me. And when I catch her? Game over.
Run Posy Run is a dark mafia romance with an antihero redeemed by love. Standalone. Intended for adult readers.
A whistle cuts the silence, and a shiver shoots down my spine. It’s Dario. He’s found me.
His voice echoes against the darkened buildings. My heart leaps into my throat. Driven by instinct, I bolt, rubber soles slapping the pavement.
He’s singing now, soft and deep as his heavy steps pound behind me. Run, run, run—you’d better run.
I already am. I’m sprinting as fast as I can toward home, hair whipping my cheeks, the night air burning my lungs.
A laugh rings out in the empty street. He’s close. How did he get so close?
I part my lips to scream, and that fast, an arm snakes around my waist and a rough palm covers my mouth.
“Got you,” he says, his breath hot on my ear, and for just a second, my traitor body melts into his hard chest, my fear catching fire and flaring into something else, an unbearable anticipation that crystalizes into horror as he drawls, “Now what am I going to do with you, you naughty girl?”

From the USA Today bestselling author of Inseparable and When Forever Changes comes another emotional, angsty, new adult romance that will rip your heart apart before mending it again.
Say I’m the One, the first in the all-new All of Me Duet from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!
I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world.
Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age ten? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at fourteen or when we shed our virginity at sixteen, pledging our forever?
I was there as his star ascended—like I’d always known it would—and there wasn’t a prouder person on the planet. As the only child of Hollywood’s golden couple, I’ve lived my life in the spotlight enough to know it wasn’t what I wanted for my future. But I sacrificed my own desires, because Reeve’s happiness meant everything to me.
Until he crushed my heart into itty-bitty pieces, forcing me to fly halfway around the world just to escape the gut-wrenching pain.
The opportunity to study at Trinity College Dublin came at the perfect moment, and I jumped at the chance without hesitation. If I’d known fate was meddling in my life, perhaps I would have chosen differently, but my future was cemented the instant I laid eyes on him.
Dillon O’Donoghue was Reeve’s polar opposite in every way, and perhaps, that’s why I felt drawn to him. He was the dark to my light. The thorn in my side, irritating me with his cold disdain, wild recklessness, and a burning rage hidden deep inside him that spoke to a silent part within me. Yet Dillon showed me what it was like to truly live, opening my eyes to endless possibilities.
What happened next was inevitable, and I only have myself to blame. He warned me, and I knew my reprieve was temporary, because there is only so far I can run.
Especially when fate hasn’t finished messing with me yet.

Hired to follow a trail of blood, bodies, and madness, Logan Pressley and the Themis Group are looking for a killer. Not just a killer—The Slayer.
Logan is not looking for a woman. At 45 years old, he has had enough of humanity, and wants no part of the myth that people call love.
Starting a new life, Maggie Robertson is not looking for a hero. Hell, she’s not even looking for a watered-down version of one. Romance, she has found, is a wasted phenomenon for the young, and the days for being swept off her feet are long past.
Then there was that one-night stand. The night Logan and Maggie lost themselves in each other. In that single night, all the carefully laid rules were broken.
She went back to studying her wine glass. “Well, after Mark was taken, I kind of went off the deep end a little.” She didn’t look at him. This was hard enough without seeing his face while she pushed through. “I became obsessed with protecting him, and part of that was falling down a rabbit hole of internet horror and bad guys.” She didn’t elaborate on how far she had fallen and how hard it had been to crawl out.
“You blamed yourself.” It wasn’t a question.
She met his eyes and the expression in them, the gentleness mixed with something she couldn’t exactly name, made the back of her eyes prickle.
“Yes.” she whispered.
It took a couple of minutes before she could resume, but when she felt she had command of her voice again, she continued. “Sam suggested that I turn what I was going through into something constructive. I was already pretty disillusioned with teaching.” She paused and considered her wording. “No, not disillusioned, exactly. I was burning out, though. And during my trip in the dark, I found I had a fascination with following trails and putting puzzle pieced together.” She grinned slightly and shrugged. “And I always had a girl crush on Clarice Starling.”
She had tried to lighten things with her last sentence. It didn’t work. He looked at some point over her shoulder and repeated her words. His voice was flat.
“Your trip in the dark.” He paused. “I had a trip in the dark.”
“Tell me.”
I was born in Kentucky and raised in Florida, so I am a southerner through and through. Since I was old enough to pick up a book, I have been a voracious reader. I wrote the usual poetry and short stories in high school, and I kept the dream of writing in the back of my heart until opportunity and encouragement helped me to realize that dream.
I live in Tampa with my kids, grandkids, dogs, various other livestock, and way more books than is strictly healthy.
Hot Romance.
Suspense.
Humor & heart.
Grown up stories for grown up people. This is what I write. There’s food, music, dogs, the occasional geek reference, and quite possibly an inappropriate joke. There will likely be dead bodies as well.
Three random facts about me:
1. I was bitten by a shark when I was 14.
2. I have read War and Peace. (When I get to the afterlife, I am demanding that week of my life back. Sorry, Tolstoy.)
3. It is my sincere belief that any situation can be improved by eating some cheese.
My live philosophy is this – guard your inner peace and read dirty kissing books.
It’s a thin line between love and hate…
