Description de l’éditeur
Following in the tradition of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wilde, and Jay Crownover, this first novel in a sexy, dark New Adult series tells the thrilling story of a young woman who finds herself drawn to a Southern motorcycle club’s inner circle—and a dangerously hot biker.
Aubrey Evans needs to get her life back on track after her father is indicted for embezzlement. She’ll save college tuition money, hightail it out of small-town Tennessee, and steer clear of hard-muscled boys on motorcycles. Yet there’s no ignoring someone like Zion. A knight in black leather, Zion looks like every bad idea she’s been told to avoid, but she can’t resist him. Whenever she’s in trouble, he’s there. Appealing as his rough exterior may be, it’s the protective, principled man beneath that tempts her like crazy.
Zion knows Aubrey doesn’t intend to stick around. She claims to want only friendship, but he senses there’s a naughty girl hiding on the inside—one whose intense desires match his own. For now, he’ll be patient and play by her rules. Though he knows it’s just a matter of time before he weakens her resolve.
As they join forces to figure out who’s behind a local crime spree, it’s clear that the danger goes deeper than Aubrey guessed. And when she needs someone tall, dark, and undaunted to keep her safe, Zion intends to be there—now and always.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Douglas (a pseudonym for YA author Melissa Marr) opens her Knights in Black Leather series with this satisfyingly angsty new adult contemporary. Things are going just fine for Aubrey Evans until her father is caught embezzling and her mother leaves him. Aubrey is shuttled off to her grandmother's home in Williamsville, Tenn., while trying to decide on her next course of action. What this good girl doesn't expect is that she'll fall for the town's resident bad boy: Zion, a member of the Southern Wolves Motorcycle Club and, despite appearances, a kind young man. Relatives and friends discourage them, and then danger looms; Zion and Aubrey pursue a lifelong romance while fearing that their lives may be cut short. Though the pacing is a bit uneven, Douglas's characters are terrific, riding smoothly over the rough spots.
