Reaper & The Lioness

After PR consultant Eva Harland leaves her high-profile career in D.C., she’s hired to rebuild the reputation of the Lone Star Mavericks Motorcycle Club.

Among the outlaw bikers, she meets Reaper — the club’s lethal VP who believes she has no place among the Mavericks.

But when a project with an investigative journalist puts a bounty on her head, Reaper saves her life and whisks her away to his secluded cabin (along with her Malinois foster puppy, Hawk).

Reaper & The Lioness is a story of fierce love, found family, and retribution in an unjust world.

Reaper & The Lioness is the first interconnected standalone in the Lone Star Mavericks MC series.

"This is an exciting, suspenseful MC romance that grabbed me from the very first page and didn’t let go. The storyline is packed with suspense and heart, the banter is top-notch, and Eva has officially become my new favorite FMC."

"I fell head over heels for this world (and maybe for Reaper too). Rachael absolutely nailed every detail, balancing heart-pounding suspense with just the right amount of heat. And Eva, our fierce “lioness”? Total badass with the looks and attitude to match."

"This fast-paced MC romance delivers everything you crave in a gritty love story while weaving in a surprisingly heartfelt and believable connection between two strong, compelling leads."

"I really loved the FMC's ability to hold her own and be her own hero. I also love that she was able to bring that grump to his knees."

"There are multiple conflicts going on in this book, but I feel like the author gave each one it's proper pacing and wrapped things up nicely by the end of the book. Overall, a very fun and spicy read."

"Eva is an absolute badass, both in the corporate world and outside of it. Her backstory is surprising and a bit heartbreaking and not what I had expected but definitely makes her into who she is."

"I love that Eva is a strong female character without being annoying about it. Too many times a 'strong' FMC just comes off as trying too hard, but Eva is genuine. On the flip side, I love how Reaper is still respectful of her even when he's overprotective. And of course, we can't forget Hawk, the energetic, show-stealing furnado."

"The characters are bold and I like the way their backstories unfold throughout the book. They have some surprising qualities you don't see coming. The plot is unique - a motorcycle gang that hires a PR expert. And there are some pretty steamy romance scenes as well. If you like the Lucy Score series that starts with book one, 'Things We Never Got Over,' you will love this book."

"What really struck me that I really didn't expect was Eva's story to hit so close to home. As someone who's dealt with not feeling physically safe because the system has failed, this was exactly what I didn't know I need. Having a female character who was so strong and people who were willing to protect her come what may was what made me fall for this book. Eva's storyline is so strong and she's such her own character that the romance was just the cherry on top."

On the road to retribution, sometimes you have to cross the line.

When PR powerhouse Eva Harland walks away from her high-profile career in D.C., the last place she expects to land is the Lone Star Mavericks Motorcycle Club. Her mission is simple: clean up the club’s image after a town-wide boycott threatens to destroy their livelihoods.

But nothing about the Mavericks is simple—especially not their brooding VP, Reaper.

Cold. Loyal. Lethal. Reaper doesn’t want help, and he sure as hell doesn’t want Eva digging around where she doesn’t belong. But her sharp mind and fearless mouth quickly get under his skin, and when danger from her past resurfaces, he’s the only one who can keep her safe.

Forced into close quarters and surrounded by secrets, the line between business and desire begins to blur.

Because Eva isn’t just here to spin a story.
She’s chasing the truth.
And someone will do anything to keep it buried.

Reaper & the Lioness is a dark, gritty MC romance for readers who crave morally gray protectors, high heat, and heroines who don’t back down.
