Damascus & The Wildfire

Damascus & The Wildfire is a dual-POV motorcycle club romance novel from the perspectives of Kenna, Merrick, and Hatchet.

When Kenna moves to Texas to join her best friend's PR consultancy, she isn't looking for love. As she plan's the club's 50th anniversary party, she becomes close with Merrick, the scarred sergeant-at-arms, and Hatchet, the flirty enforcer. And when their friendship evolves, she's faced with the choice between the two men who have helped heal her broken heart.

It's a story of love after loss, friendship, and found family with a love triangle that drives growth.

Damascus & The Wildfire is the second interconnected standalone in the Lone Star Mavericks MC series.

"The love triangle in this story was written beautifully. In my opinion, the dynamic of the love triangle was necessary so that the main characters could process and understand their own needs as they grew into their new selves."

"I love how the story progressed taking us back and forth with her feelings for the two men. I found myself rooting for one, then rooting for the other and back again! They both treated her like she was important to them and they were willing to do anything to protect her and keep her safe."

"The perfect MC romance with a good mix between romance and action. Also the friendships in this book made my heart feel all warm and fuzzy. What a great found family."

"I love how strong the FMCs are in these stories. They know their worth and don’t back down. The MMCs are protective but not over the top. It is the best combination."

" The way this author writes and creates emotions while reading about grief and healing, family that will protect you with everything they have, and a love that covers all is nothing short of amazing!!"

"The MMCs are hot as hell, masculine and rough, yet unexpectedly sweet. Rachel gives every character real depth, and the heroine is beautifully strong even after major loss. The Maverick world sucks you in and leaves you desperate for more."

"Damascus & The Wildfire touched on grief in a refreshing way and the conflict was enough to keep the story moving, while still keeping the primary focus on the main characters and their personal growth."

"I found myself breaking down several times in the emotional moments. This should be in a textbook of how a love triangle should play out."

"One of the reasons I love this series so much is the alpha MMCs. They're rough, tough, and hot -- but most importantly they respect their women and women in general. In a world where so many books employ dominance as a toxic character trait, it's nice to have a series where dominance is being used in service to the women rather than against her will or wishes."

"This was a fast paced read with lots of action and emotions. We have great development between the characters and their relationships and such a great found family."

"The story draws you in from the beginning and holds you until the end. It is refreshing to see fewer red flags despite the morally gray characters. Absolutely love this indie author and her writing and cannot wait to see what comes next.

"I devoured this book!! It pulled at my heartstrings, made me laugh out loud often, and had super hot spice! It's a great book if you're into protective men and a strong, feisty FMC. This booked checked all of the boxes for the perfect Dark Romance book! Highly recommend it!"

"I think this was the first time I genuinely wasn't sure who I was rooting for in a love triangle at the start. Her connection, chemistry and banter with both men were so well done, it was hard to pick a favorite. This book is a solid example that love triangles can work in romance."

Love blooms in the wreckage.

When Kenna Walsh trades her polished D.C. life for the wide Texas skies, she isn’t looking for love—just a fresh start. Three years after losing her fiancé, her heart still feels hollow. But when she’s hired to plan the Lone Star Mavericks’ fiftieth anniversary party, she’s pulled into a world built on loyalty, violence, and a code she doesn’t yet understand.

Merrick, the club’s quiet, battle-scarred sergeant-at-arms, carries his own ghosts and keeps the world at arm’s length. Hatchet, their reckless enforcer, meets the darkness with a grin and refuses to let Kenna disappear into the shadows. And for the first time in years, her heart isn’t just waking up—it’s at war with itself.

When a violent street gang threatens everything the Mavericks stand for, Kenna is drawn deeper into a brotherhood where loyalty is everything and trust is hard won, forced to navigate not just the threats outside the clubhouse, but the fractures within it.

And as danger closes in, she finds strength in places she never expected—and faces a choice that could change the course of her future forever.
