Blending the raw intensity of “Sons of Anarchy” with the suspenseful intrigue of “Scandal,” Rachel Esterline’s debut novel, Reaper & The Lioness, delivers a dark and seductive motorcycle club romance, crafted for readers drawn to morally gray heroes, sizzling chemistry, and bold, resilient heroines.
The story introduces readers to PR powerhouse Eva Harland, who walks away from her high-profile career in D.C. and signs a contract with 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. He is cold, loyal, and 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 the first in the Lone Star Mavericks MC series. The book explores themes of love and redemption, and ends with a happily ever after. This book is perfect for fans of Navessa Allen, Emma Slate, and Paisley Hope.
