Acknowledgments
I hope you enjoy the second book in the Kings Reapers MC series. This story emotionally drained me, but I’m so excited for you to read it and tell me what you think.
A big thank you to my amazing editor, Rebecca. You have such a huge job when you get my manuscripts because not only are you correcting my terrible grammar and spellings but also watching for the English/American words because who knew there were so many different spellings and sayings! I am so grateful for your help and input.
Thanks to my amazing family. To my husband, who always supports everything I do, even if sometimes he thinks I’m crazy. To my kids, who don’t give me grief about the amount of time I spend staring at my screen. To my girlfriends, Fay, Kelly, and Emma, for giving me wine and keeping me smiling even on my darkest days. I love you all!
Finally, thanks to Knox Publishing, for giving me the chance to work with you and alongside some other amazing authors. It is a dream come true. I love the journey I’m on!

Chapter One
Eva
I spin around, letting my skirt flare out in a dramatic movie kind of way. The wine’s making my head a little fuzzy, but I’m leaving the Kings Reapers clubhouse tonight and I’m determined to make it a night to remember. After spending the last few weeks here, I’m sad about leaving.
Lake whistles and I blush. I’ve been trying to put myself on his radar for over a week and this is the first time he’s made me think he’s interested, and I know exactly why that is—Cree isn’t around.
“Mama, you look hot!” He grins, stepping back and looking me up and down. “Where are you going?”
My best friend, Anna, leans into my ear and whispers, “Should I tell him you wore it for him?” I nudge her gently with my elbow and she laughs.
“Lake,” mutters Riggs, the club president and Anna’s husband. His tone is a warning, which makes me more determined to flirt my ass off. Cree isn’t even here for my last night and still, no one can come near me because of him.
Lake must think the same as me because he looks around and then shrugs his huge tattooed shoulders. “Pres, he isn’t here,” he says.
“That is not the fuckin’ point, brother, and you know it,” mutters Riggs. Anna distracts me by handing me another glass of wine. “You sure you should have another?” Riggs says, eyeing Anna as she drinks half her glass in one go.
“Just for that comment, I’m opening another bottle,” she hisses. Riggs rolls his eyes and goes back to staring at his cell phone. “It’s bad enough we’re having to spend Eva’s last night in The Windsor because you refuse to let me out of your sight,” she continues, but he doesn’t look like he’s listening.
Lake stares at me then tips his head towards the door and heads outside. I check that no one saw before following him. I find him resting against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth. “You’re leaving us,” he says and grins.
“About time. These last few weeks have been hell,” I joke. My feelings about staying with the Kings are quite the opposite. I’ve enjoyed being surrounded by lots of bikers and their families. Riggs locked the club down after threats from Anna’s ex caused them problems. He kindly took me and my mum under his wing too and I’ll always be grateful for that.
“You’ll miss lusting after me over breakfast.” He smirks.
“But at least in my own house, I can eat my breakfast in my underwear if I please. No one’s around to judge me.” I smirk and his eyes heat.
“Comments like that’ll get me shot,” he says.
“You’re not the type to get scared, are you?” I ask and then I purposely run my tongue over my lower lip. He grins because he knows what I’m doing. “Live dangerously,” I add.
He laughs to himself and crushes his cigarette under his boot. Without warning, his hand shoots out and takes me by the wrist. He pulls me to him, and I crash against his body. My hands instantly rest against his strong, muscled chest, and his hands go into my
