Dancing is her absolute passion and she is well-known for being a kind and caring person. Who wouldn’t love to be around her? Unfortunately for Addy, the answer to that question is her next-door neighbor/long-time crush/high school bad boy Asher King, who won’t even look in her direction. That is, until she decides to smash her chapped lips to Asher’s luscious ones one fateful night. And he doesn’t know it was her. Now he wants her to help him catch the girl who stole his first kiss—in exchange for keeping one of her biggest secrets to himself. But how can Addy help him catch the culprit when she’s the guilty party?

Reaper's Claim

by Simone Elise

I saw cold fury in his eyes and knew I’d gone too far.

His firm chest pressed into me, his angry heat radiating against my skin. His hands gripped the sides of my face, and then he whispered in my ear.

“If any other man touches you, I’ll kill him. I own you.”

And then his lips slammed into mine.

From the moment Abby first lays eyes on Kade Wilson, he’s as repellent to her as oil to vinegar. Nicknamed The Reaper for his brutish nature, he’s a deadly biker from a rival club. But no matter how much she tries to shake him, every attempt to sever ties ends with her tangled in his sheets, drenched in his sweat. Can Abby quit her addiction to The Reaper before he lays claim to her? Does she even want to?
