Veiled in Shadows. Chased by Death. Ryker Helms For ten years I've run the Reapers MC as president. I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into rebuilding us after the attempted coup. I never thought I'd see Kenzie Raines again. She was a thorn in my side and an ache in my chest growing up and I doubt anything has changed. When she stumbles back in my life, battered and bruised and unwilling to talk, the protective instinct rises up, overshadowing anything else in my life. I don't know if I can protect her and the Reapers from the demons chasing her, but I'll be damned if I let her go again. MacKenzie Raines I never planned on coming back to Synd, but when I'm forced to run, I escape to the only person I've ever felt safe with-Ryker Helms. Everything in me says to keep my distance. He spurned me once before and I refuse to let him break my heart again, but I might not live long enough for a second chance anyways. I don't want to bring trouble to the Reapers, but he's my only shot at survival. This is the second book in the Shadows of Synd Series. This is a series of standalones, but they are best enjoyed in reading order. There are overarching questions that will not be resolved until book four, but the relationship will be resolved in this book. Ryker and MacKenzie's story is a dark, MC, second-chance romance with a guaranteed HEA featuring a midsize FMC. There is adult content in this book. Please visit author's website for more information.
