[Devil's Hornets MC 02] • Evening Primrose

The lotus blooms even in the thickest swamps.

As Natalie accepts Jack’s lifestyle and gets to know him better, a growing threat lurks in the shadows. Their secret rendezvous’ can only give them a veil of safety for so long. Natalie begins to notice that on her long drives with Jack, suddenly he’s not the only man with eyes on her. No matter how hard she fights, she can’t shake the feeling that she might have bitten off more than she can chew…

It’s a race against the clock.

Jack’s feelings for Natalie only seem to grow with each secret visit, and he’s flaking out on his jobs. Facing the consequences and taking his punishment from his club is the least of his problems. A rival club, The Reapers, has his weakness targeted and their sights set on his sweet, gentle flower shop girl. But they’ll take her over Jack’s dead body.

Will you keep a rose, bloodied thorns and all?

With Natalie in the rough hands of The Reapers, it takes all of Jack not to bust in their headquarters, guns blazing. He has to make an important decision, one that could not only break his heart, but hers as well.

**EXCERPT**

“You seem a bit distracted today.” Natalie seemed to like the planetarium restaurant he’d taken her to. It was a place where you could have a quiet lunch for two and then you could lay under the stars and do whatever you wanted… for a fee of course.

“If I’m distracted, it’s because I’m with a beautiful brown haired, blue eyed woman who makes me want to rip her clothes off at every opportunity.” It was the truth, but he was also distracted by the trouble he was having with the Reapers. They wanted a cut of the vast territory that was their selling grounds, and that wasn’t going to happen. The group was foul mouthed and threatening like they had a leg to stand on when making a request like that. Fuck them. They couldn’t come to them demanding a hand out offering nothing in return.

“It seems like we are the only two in this room. I’ve always wanted to ride a cowboy underneath the stars.” Natalie was at her very best when she was feeling sexy, and lucky for him she seemed to have that as her default setting.
