Magnum, Volume 1

A reporter with a target on her back. The genius biker shifter who becomes her uncompromising fortress.

Storm doesn’t scare easily, but the trafficking ring she uncovered can easily make her disappear forever. On the run with her phone in a signal-blocking bag, a reporter friend gets her to the Birmingham MC — and into the secluded lake house of a man built like an immovable wall.

Magnum is a snapping-turtle shifter with a dark past, and the proportions and bearing of a man no one challenges. He’s brilliant enough to out-hack professionals, and fiercely loyal to the bikers who became his chosen family. He’s spent years rebuilding a life that was stolen from him, and he isn’t thrilled when a sexy human reporter is foisted upon him. Magnum’s lethal skillset is uniquely suited to keep her safe from the elite squad looking for her, and since she’s on the trail of Gears’ missing brother, he agrees to keep her safe.

Storm quickly discovers Magnum isn’t just biker muscle. He’s an IT pro with serious security and financial skills. He’s also entirely too good at reading her — including the part of her that’s spent years chasing exacting rules and protocols, but never finding a Dom with the resolve to enforce them. Magnum also doesn’t negotiate, and his unwavering authority is absolute. Maybe that should be a massive red flag, but her inner submissive can’t say ‘Yes, Sir’ fast enough to this tenacious man who won’t budge. High protocol in Magnum’s home isn’t easy, but she finally finds the unyielding structure she’s so desperately wanted while trapped in his lake house.

But the men hunting Storm aren’t the only reason for urgency. Every other month, more victims die and then more are kidnapped. As the MC closes in on a fortress most law enforcement wouldn’t dare touch, Storm will have to be the public face of the rescue, and that means leaving Alabama so she doesn’t draw attention to the MC, so no one can trace the rescue back to the men who dared attempt it. It also means walking away from the intractable biker who’s so completely claimed her. How can she possibly return to her chaotic life in Pennsylvania after utterly surrendering her soul to a genius, stubborn, over-rational giant of a man who sees straight through her?
