Brotherhood. Club. Family.
They live and ride by their own rules.
These are the Raven RidersâĤ
Raven Riders Motorcycle Club President Dare Kenyon rides hard and values loyalty above all else. Heâll do anything to protect the brotherhood of bikersâthe only family heâs gotâas well as those who canât defend themselves. So when mistrustful Haven Randall lands on the clubâs doorstep scared that sheâs being hunted, Dare takes her in, swears to keep her safe, and pushes to learn the secrets overshadowing her pretty smile.
Haven fled from years of abuse at the hands of her criminal father and is suspicious of any manâs promises, including those of the darkly sexy and overwhelmingly intense Ravensâ leader. But as the powerful attraction between them flares to life, Dare pushes her boundaries and tempts her to want things she never thought she could.
The past never dies without a fight, but Dare Kenyonâs never backed down beforeâĤ

One minute Dare was standing on the beach, trying to keep himself from giving in to Havenâs innocent playfulness. The next he was wet from forehead to knees from Haven splashing him.
She actually splashed him.
His reaction was pure instinct. He took off like a shot, bolting toward her like a wild animal after its prey. Havenâs beautiful face went from uncertain to startled to amused, and on a scream and a laugh she turned and ran, her feet kicking up water as she cut through the shallows at the secluded lakeâs edge.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry,â she yelled between laughs.
Dare just ran faster, not even caring as his boots hit the water. She didnât have a chance in hell of outrunning him, and he wasnât giving up the chase until he had her in his armsâand made her pay.
A burst of laughter exploded out of her as she veered back and forth, pleading words spilling haltingly from her lips. And then Dare clasped his arms around her upper body, hauled her in against him, and took them both down to the sand right at the waterâs edge. He turned his body so that he took the brunt of the fall, bringing Haven down on top of him. The chase and the challenge and the closeness had him rock hard in an instant. Not surprising, since heâd been sporting a semi since sheâd straddled his bike, spread her legs around him, and taken him into her arms.
âYou splashed me,â he said, eyebrow arched, hand fisted around the long braid in her hair.
Wearing a grin so open and carefree that it made his chest feel suddenly too small for his heart, Haven nodded. âOops.â
âYou think thatâs funny?â he asking, growing harder as she shifted her weight, making her belly grind against his hard-on.
A small gasp of recognition, and she bit down on her lip as the cast of her eyes went from playful to aroused. âA little,â she said in a breathy voice. She licked her lips. Dare couldnât help but track the movement, and want to suck the trail of moisture she left there off the plump, pink skin.
What the fuck was he doing?
Havenâs hands gripped his shoulders, and she subtly shifted her weight again, pulling herself up his bodyâjust a little, but enough that her lower belly now pressed and thrust against his cock. And Jesus if the need blazing out of those bright blue eyes wasnât crystal clear.
For a split second, Dare thought of Havenâs list of things sheâd never experienced, her lie of omission, the expression sheâd worn on her face when heâd made her come before. And what he wanted to do ran roughshod over what he should do.
Startling a high-pitched gasp from her, Dare flipped their positions so that she lay in the soft sand and his body lay partially over hers. With his forehead against hers, he nailed her with a stare. âYou sure you want to provoke me?â
