 Title: Banshee Series Name&Number: Shotgun Saints MC Book Two Author: Elizabeth Knox Photographer: Wander Aguiar Available in Amazon He made a vow at her grave. Her best friend is about to break it. Banshee I haven't taken off my wedding ring in five and a half years. Haven't slept through the night. Haven't answered a phone call without my hands shaking. Haven't let a woman close enough to touch the wreckage my wife left behind when she died on a rain-soaked highway with my name as the last word on her lips. I had rules. The ring stays on. The walls stay up. The grief stays mine. Then her best friend showed up. Bex Dalton is everything Rose wasn't—dark, rough, stubborn as hell, built like a woman who fights the world with her bare hands and wins. She came back to Sharp for Rose's dying father, not for me. She made that real clear. Doesn't matter. I watch her anyway. Watch her bend steel and gentle my horses and stand her ground against men twice her size. Watch her grieve the same woman I grieve and pretend she's not falling apart. She was the reason Rose was on that road. I was the reason Rose was on that phone. We're both guilty. Both broken. Both starving for something we have no right to take from each other. I'm going to take it anyway. And the ring is coming off.   Title: Morbid Series Name&Number: Raiders of Valhalla New Blood Book Nine Author: Elizabeth Knox Available in eBook and Paperback in Amazon I'm the girl nobody kept. He's the man who won't let go. Ingrid He never looked at me like I was broken, didn't flinch when Njal made me a joke in front of the whole club and pretended not to notice when Bjorn used me up and threw me away like I was nothing. I'm Fenrir's youngest daughter. Charm's baby girl. Raiders of Valhalla princess with a shattered crown and a body count of men who proved I'm only good for one thing. So, I stopped trying to be anything else. I take what I want now. I f*ck who I choose. I let them think I'm the club's wild child because it's easier than admitting I'm just the girl nobody wanted to keep. Then Gunnar stops pretending he doesn't see me. One touch. One night when I'm spiraling and he's the only one who doesn't try to fix me—just holds me while I break. One moment when those steady hands and that patient heart make me feel like maybe I'm not as ruined as I think. But I know better. I've learned this lesson twice already. Men in this club don't love girls like me. They f*ck us, they shame us, they move on to someone worth keeping. Gunnar says I'm wrong. Says he's been waiting for me. Says he'll prove every man before him was a coward who couldn't handle what I am. Now I have to choose: Believe him and risk shattering completely, or walk away from the only man who's ever made me feel whole.    The only games I play are on the gridiron. My fame, while a blessing, has also been a curse. My entire existence is scrutinized by people that don’t know me, and my worth constantly debated by my performance on the field. Being bullied as a kid left a lasting impact on my self-esteem, which is why I avoid any personal entanglements, unable to trust the motives of others. I have no desire to search for my soulmate. I wouldn’t even know what to do if I found her. Of course, that’s exactly why I stumble across Lily Wren. I know she’s mine the instant I see her. I just have to convince her. Good thing I’ve perfected the quarterback sneak. It's a cliché to think all girls want to marry a man like their dad. I want the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong, I believe he loves us, but temptation was stronger than his loyalty. We weren’t enough for him, something I accepted long before my mom did. Seeing her pain, I vowed to never date an athlete and it’s been an easy promise to uphold. No one has ever made me want to cross that line, not even when I move to a new city and am surrounded by the hometown team. When Keaton Wayne gets down on one knee in front of me, the innocent encounter is twisted into more than it is. Suddenly, I’m engaged to a professional football player and doing nothing to correct the misconception. I’m not sure that I want to either.

Admitting she belongs on the team isn't easy, what's even worse is realizing that through all the hazing, major feelings have developed for her too.
