Love Me Wicked: Zeke Wicked
A Dark Knight biker, a torturous secret, and a road trip that changes everything. Come along for the emotionally wicked ride in this steamy, pulse-pounding small-town standalone romance. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Tattooist Aria Bad has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People's eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she's leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He's a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she's harboring a secret and needs to go alone.

Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria, but that didn't stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she's been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she's determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won't let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.

Tropes: Small-town, found family, biker romance, close proximity, protective hero, savior hero, friends to lovers.

About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside
Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes.
