The sexy sequel to the TikTok-trending dark rom-com, Rook & Rebel

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Hop on for the wildest ride yet in the next instalment to Kate Crew's extra spicy series, The Mavericks!

A forbidden desire. A game of cat and mouse. A love that could ruin everything.

Evie Emberson is trouble. Smart-mouthed, confident, and relentless—especially when she's looking for answers. She's a hacker with a past that just won't stay buried, so laying low isn't exactly her strong suit. Especially when he's around.

Aiden "Ace" Callahan is her brother's best friend—brooding, loyal, and a walking contradiction. As a member of the motorcycle gang, he lives by a code. Rule number one? Don't touch Evie.

But she's not a kid anymore. She's fire and chaos and everything he shouldn't want. Getting involved would blow up the only family he's ever had—but walking away is getting harder every damn day.

When stolen glances spiral into something darker, hotter, they go past the point of no return. And the more they try to hide it, the more it threatens to consume them.
