One night, her fate is sealed when she meets Reggie Miller. He’s a real gentleman with good looks and power. Everyone seems to do exactly what he says, and Anna is swept away in a fairy tale love story. But like all good fairy tales, there’s a twist. Reggie isn’t all he’s cracked up to be, and as Anna continues to ignore the red flags, Reggie is pulling her in deeper until, eventually, he’s all she sees. Please This is a short novella to introduce Anna, the main female character in Book One of the Kings Reapers MC. This book contains dark themes some readers might find triggering.

Anna I stormed into his bar to tell this arrogant son of a bitch to keep his kid away from mine. My daughter Malia means more to me than anything else in this world. I knew before I walked in he was the leader of a notorious biker gang, but I didn’t care. I realize far too late that going into his bar was a massive mistake. It put me directly on his radar and that’s somewhere I never wanted to be. I came to him for one thing, to speak my mind and be done with it. Suddenly, this man is everywhere I turn and I don’t know what to think. Riggs I swore I’d never let myself get into another relationship after my last one ended in a catastrophic manner. The only things that’re important to me are my kid, and my club. I was happy living my life the way I have been for years. That is, until a sassy-mouthed woman walks into my bar. Anna Miller. The first thing out of her mouth was an insult. One interaction and the woman immediately got under my skin. Before long I’m not thinking with my head anymore. Especially as her past catches up with her. Does she realize the lengths I’ll go to protect what’s important to me? I’m not gonna let her go without a fight.

Eva There is nothing wrong with believing in true love, right? Maybe I’m the type of woman who watches too many happily-ever-afters, but I want my prince charming. If I know one thing for sure, it’s this—I’m not going to find him sitting around at the Kings Reapers MC’s clubhouse. Don’t get me wrong, the men here are hotter than Hades, but they’re more like Thor. Strong, overbearing, dominant, and demanding. Just the way I like them. There’s only one person who isn’t like the rest, their VP, Elijah Cree. The rudest, most arrogant man I’ve met in my entire life. He’s a miserable person and on top of it, he hates me. He’s told me I can’t be around any of his brothers, bothered by the mere presence of me being here. I don’t know what this guy’s problem is, but he’d better get used to me since I’m not going anywhere. My best friend is his Prez’s ol’ lady. Cree There’s a reason I don’t date, and I can’t tell you the last time a woman caught my attention. That is, until Eva showed up. From the second I saw her something inside me changed. It’s like my stone-cold heart thawed out just a little. I’ve told all my brothers she’s off limits, and since she caught wind of that she’s become a sassy little shit. She isn’t afraid of me, and her temper proves that. Little does she know the way she acts tugs at my heart, and my lips. The woman makes me wanna smile, to let my guard down and give it a shot. I won’t, though. ‘Cause I won’t fuck up something so perfect. After she makes it apparent she won’t be goin’ anywhere, I start to contemplating goin’ to battle with my inner demons. What harm could it do? I’ve already told the boys none of ‘em can touch her, and they’d better not. I’ll rip their fuckin’ arms off if they even try.

Chains Her smartass mouth and those baby blues had a lot to do with it. She made it apparent as hell she isn’t scared to put us in our place. Fuck if that wasn’t a turn on. I don’t remember the exact time I started loving Leia. It just happened. Now she’s approaching her twentieth birthday and it’s getting harder everyday to resist her. So hard in fact that I stupidly slammed my lips against hers, and it made everything worse. She’s now at the forefront of my mind, every night, and every day. Not only is she in my damn head, but everywhere I turn. Not that I’m complaining. I don’t mind going around a corner and seeing the way her cheeks flush a rosy red at the mere sight of me. There’s one problem, she’s starting to look at me with hope in her eyes. The kiss alone was reason enough for my Prez, Riggs, to put a piece of lead through my skull. Why? ‘Cause the Prez’s sister is off-limits. Leia Being the president’s sister means I’m constantly being cock blocked. I mean, how many girls my age are still virgins at nineteen? Riggs is the classic older brother with his protective ways and how he’s overbearing as hell. He knows my every move, sometimes even before I’ve made it. And if he isn’t on my back, then one of his club members sure as hell is. That’s where Chains comes into play. He’s the club’s Enforcer, and the man tasked to be my new bodyguard. He’s ten years older than I am and takes his role way too seriously. Little does he know I’m ready to cut loose and shove his protection, as well as his club, right where the sun doesn’t shine. I want a life, and I’m determined to get it.

Blu All I really wanna do is keep my head down and be the Enforcer for the Kings Reapers MC. The downside is they’re heavily involved with the mafia, and fuck, I hate the mafia. Vinn Romano is an arrogant ass but it’s his sister, Gianna, that really grates on me. Walking around like some entitled mafia princess and expecting men to fall at her feet just because of her bloodline. Fuck that, and fuck her if she thinks I’ll be like the other men she’s pushed around her entire life. I ain’t like most men. I don’t play games, and I don’t want anything to do with the damn mafia. But things change when faces from the past turn up and start bringing my family into wars they’ve got no business starting. Now I’m forced to turn to a man I haven’t needed since I was eighteen years old and make sacrifices to save her, because despite pushing her away, Gia has weaved her way deep into my heart. Gia I don’t know what I ever did to upset Blu. Since the day he turned up at the Kings Reapers’ clubhouse, he was rude. All I ever try to do is be nice, but it makes no difference. The man loathes me. When a series of events push us together, things begin to change between us. Maybe he realises I’m not the princess he seems to think I am. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and I’ll do anything to help them, including marry the great Ricardo Donini, but it doesn’t hurt to get to know Blu too. It’s not like anything will ever happen between us . . . right? Please Note: Nicola Jane’s Kings Reapers MC series is set in the United Kingdom and her books are published in British English.

Riggs It’s no secret I’ve been slipping. My club’s in chaos and my marriage is over. Is it any wonder with the way I’ve behaved. I want to tell them, I want to tell her, but how do I wipe that beautiful smile from her face. How do I tell her I’m not the man she married? She’s been through so much, I can’t let her go through this too. But this is Anna we’re talking about and do you think she’ll let it go? She hounds me with questions until the arguments get too much. What do I do now she’s gone? Anna No one can accuse me of not trying. After years of living with Reggie’s abusive behaviour, I promised myself I’d never do it again. Riggs’ words slay me on a daily basis. He doesn’t want me around him right now and I can’t take his rejection a second longer. Packing my bags wasn’t easy but he didn’t try and stop me, that tells me all I need to know. So it’s time to make my own way in the world. One that doesn’t involve Riggs. Until, one chance meeting makes it impossible for him to hide the truth any longer.

Blade I've never been a one-woman man! I’m not good at it. All my brothers in the MC are settling down and I’m not even looking for a woman of my own. Tillie comes into my life by chance. I call into her sweet shop every other day to get my liquorice fix, but it’s complete coincidence that the woman I’ve been flirting with for weeks turns out to be an enemy’s daughter. All I’ve got to do is stay the fuck away. Easy, right? Wrong! That ass left his daughter, Tillie, in danger and she don’t even know it! How the hell do I walk away and leave her at the mercy of men who make me look like Prince fucking Charming? Matilda Why am I such a bum magnet? You place a bad boy within thirty feet of me and I home in on him like a horny bitch in heat. So, when Blade walks into my shop with his flirty big ego, of course, I’m gonna stalk him into a date. But I should have listened when he told me he didn’t do dates cos boy does he get it wrong. Events unfold that will change my life forever, and how can I just walk away when he’s dragged me into his world so deep? I can’t. I won’t.

Sara What’s so wrong with being the fun party animal who likes to experiment, meet new people, and take guys home for one night stands? Well, not all the time, obviously. Meeting him was a game changer for me, in more ways than one. We both liked the same stuff, yah know, in the bedroom. It didn’t hurt he was bloody gorgeous. Not my usual type, but with parents like mine, I have to stick to their rules. But Lake, he blew the damn rules right out the window and before I knew it, we were hooking up more often than actual couples in a relationship. I was honest, told him straight I wasn’t looking for anything serious, cos I’m not that type of girl, but the universe had other plans. Now, I’ve got to grow up and take responsibility for the mess I caused. The mess we caused . . . Lake I landed on my feet when I met the female version of me. Sara was kinky, wild, and willing to do anything to annoy her stuck-up parents. It was a bonus that neither of us were looking for a relationship—straight up booty calls were our thing. Then came the bombshell, and I ain’t talking the blonde kind. She doesn’t expect anything and she’s made it clear I’m not on her future plan, but since when did she get to make up the rules? It’s not so easy to walk away now I know her secret. All I gotta do is convince her I’m not going anywhere. Not now, not ever . . .

Lottie I spent months going from one biker club to another, desperately searching for a long-lost brother my mum abandoned. Turning up at the Kings Reapers MC was purely coincidence, but it worked out for the best cos meeting Lake put an end to my search. So why doesn’t finding him, stop my pain? I’m a hot mess, that’s how a social worker once described me, and poor Lake did nothing to deserve having me as a sister. Then, one day, I cave because the world becomes too much and who turns up to save me but Storm, newest member of the Kings Reapers. Running away from his own demons, the mysterious biker is too much. Too intense. Too hot. Too bossy. Too dangerous. So, of course, I’m attracted to him. Storm London was a fresh start, that’s how I sold it to my sister, Taya. Riggs needed more men, and I jumped at the chance to escape cos that’s what I do, run. I swore I wouldn’t get involved with any woman, especially not Lake’s long-lost sister. Lottie is all kinds of messed up and she’s a complication I don’t fuckin’ need. My priority is getting Taya and my son, Seb, settled. That is, until the day I have to collect Lottie from the hospital. Her eyes are screaming pain and they call out to me for help. Because if anyone knows pain, it’s me. Separately, we’re suffering . . . but together, we’re toxic. But I know we met for a reason and I ain’t letting her slip away from me. I can fix her, she can fix me, and then we’ll live happily ever after, right? Right?

Raven I’d spent years hanging with the wrong crowds, the wrong men, and just generally fucking my life up. When Chains brought me to London, the Kings Reapers treated me like one of their own. Only, I’m not one of theirs—I’m an outsider trying my best to fit into a world where I finally feel comfortable. No one judges me here, and yeah, I’ve come close to fucking it up a few times, but then I began working for Vinn Romano. We agreed early on to a no strings kind of relationship, but there’s a problem. Vinn’s getting married, and when his fiancée moves to London, shit gets real. Giving Vinn up is hard, but luckily, fate brings Mac into my life and he’s determined to help me find a decent guy who will treat me right. Mac Leaving the Kings Reapers Nottingham Charter was my chance at a fresh start. Here in London, no one knows the fuck-ups I’ve made, especially not the red-haired beauty, Raven. Hearing how guys have treated her in the past makes me more determined to help her out, and maybe it’s a chance at redemption for the pain I’ve caused. So, I place myself in her life, distracting her from her most recent heartbreak over Vinn Romano. The only thing I didn’t consider was Raven falling for me. When past events catch up with me, I end up doing the very thing I wanted to save her from . . . I break her heart.

Home to London’s most notoriously dangerous men. Meet Riggs, the President, his VP, Cree, and the club’s Enforcer, Chains. While all these men are vastly different, the one thing they have in common is their love for their club. Brought together in a band of brotherhood to support each other after leaving the Forces, these men fight hard and play even harder. When Riggs meets Anna, dynamics in the club change. Not only is their President falling for the female who’s running from her ex, but his VP feels just as strongly about her best friend, Eva. As the brothers fight to keep the club going, themselves alive, and their ladies by their sides, Chains is next to fall for the charms of a woman, only this one is forbidden fruit. One he was never supposed to touch. Follow Riggs, Cree, and Chains' stories as they discover that there's more to life than the King's Reapers MC . . . and that sometimes, love is worth fighting for.
