Lock & Key Series - Cat Porter

Book 1 of the LOCK & KEY series – Now FREE on all retailers!

My bitter past ruled my life. Running on empty, I didn’t give a damn.
Not interested in redemption. Definitely not love.
Until now.

Sixteen years ago I barely survived my old man’s murder, and I promised myself that never again would I surrender my heart. I ran away from our hometown in South Dakota and never looked back. I didn’t want any kind of second chance. I didn’t want anything. I didn’t deserve anything.

But that all changed in one night.

Forced to return home, I crashed into Lock, a sexy, brooding stranger. I indulged. No risk. No harm.
Wrong. Wrong. Oh, so wrong.
He was no stranger. And the past and present blew up in both our faces.

Caught in the crossfire of two bike clubs’ rivalry, our one night of hot and delicious quickly turns cold and ugly. Forced to strike a bargain, I’m a pawn in a dangerous and deadly game. Secrets, lies…ah, but I’m good at those.

So why does it hurt so much?

Because now I feel things I’d forgotten about, want things I thought I’d cut out of my insides. I see it in Lock’s haunted eyes, feel it in his touch—that same hurt, that same want.

Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away, but when it first sinks its teeth into you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.
Now that sting won’t stop, and I don’t want it to.
But the game just got real dirty, and Lock and I are on opposite sides. Will we come out alive? And even if we do, what will be left of our mangled souls?

Once I had nothing.
Suddenly, I have so damn much to lose.

Will he claim his heart’s hungry desire for the first time no matter the price?

Boner, the brooding enforcer of the motorcycle club risks his darkest secret to protect Jill, a rebellious young woman and a single mother who’s determined to start a new life for herself, despite her volatile ex-husband from a rival club.

He knows he should stay away from her. She’s much younger. And gorgeous. Generous, funny, brave. And she holds the key to his best friends’ happiness.
But one violent incident changes his mind.
Now thrown together, he can’t help himself. He’s possessive, emotional. And when they finally touch, he feels truly alive for the first time in forever.
And so does she.

But it’s not only desire and the bonds of brotherhood and friendship that keep Boner close to Jill. Hungry for Jill.
It’s his wild, untamed heart.
But when his ugly past rears its head and puts the club at risk, will Boner realize how powerful and true their love is before it’s too late?

“A knife that cut too deep,
a slash that still burns,
failures piled high and flammable.
I held my losses at bay with knives, with guns, my hands,
my bike, my brothers,
my iron will.

But not my heart.
No, my heart was the flame
that would light the match,
ignite the blaze.

I am the enforcer
The killer when called upon,
the ruthless hound on demand,
the one who cleans the mess left behind.
The protector
I can make you bleed,
Smash you to pieces.
But she smashed all my excuses,
and I shattered hers.
For a split second she was mine,
but I will always be hers.

Some things,
really beautiful things,
you can’t hold onto forever.”

- Butler -

“The bad boy.
The fuck up.
The thief.

That was me.

Once a king,
Now a wanderer.
I’d thrown the best parts of me away, over and over again.
I was reckless.
Still am.
I’d been exiled.
Twice.
I did my time.
I’ve cleaned up.
Well, sort of.
I got plans.
Yeah, good ones.

Then I ran into her.

A bolt of lightning
Startling
Unsettling
Breathtaking
And so out of reach.

The woman I once scorned years ago
is now the woman I can’t stop thinking about, dreaming about.
I need what I didn’t think I’d ever need again.
I want and want and want. And it’s torture.

Now she’s the epicenter of the war I’ve triggered,
and the battle in my rusted heart.
I may be as reckless as I ever was,
but I’m determined as f*ck.

To hell with it.
I want it all.”
