The Kings of Kearny, by Navessa Allen (softback, english edition)

🇬🇧 This Book Is In English

Jakob is the kind of man who makes me think that peaceful is overrated — and that descending into darkness with him could lead to something even better than a Happily Ever After.

The Kings of Kearny by Navessa Allen
A standalone dark motorcycle club romance from the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Lights Out

A dark and steamy small-town motorcycle club romance from the author of the multi-million copy Into Darkness series — perfect for fans of Paisley Hope.

Jakob Larson is going to be the death of her. Every time he strides into her bar, she feels it. The Kings of Kearny run this small Texas town, and Jakob is their chief enforcer — The Viking, they call him. A criminal. As dangerous as he is sexy. The kind of man who makes her inner cavewoman sit up and take notice. She's ready to indulge — just for one night.

Unfortunately, Jakob has other plans. Someone in town is breaking one of the cardinal rules set by the leader of The Kings, and Jakob thinks they're using her grandmother's nursing home to do it. Now she's neck-deep in trouble with him — and every time she thinks she's figured out what's really going on, Jakob reveals another piece of the puzzle. She needs to figure out how far she's willing to go to protect this town. How far she's willing to go with Jakob. Because if she falls for him, there's no going back.
