She hunts monsters. She’s never wanted to keep one before.
Calypso doesn’t ask permission. She’s half vampire, half hunter, and she crashes into my territory as if she owns it—guns drawn, unafraid, and looking at me as if she hasn’t decided whether I’m an asset or a target. I’ve had five centuries of people fear me on sight. This woman reloads and raises an eyebrow.
I don’t do alliances. I do blood, empire, and control.
But the Crimson Circle is back, and the evil moving through my territory is the same one that destroyed everything I loved three hundred and fifty years ago. Calypso is just a source. She has answers I need. I have knowledge she can’t survive without. So, I let her stay. Call it strategy. Call it temporary. The problem is, she keeps standing her ground and looks at me like I am a man instead of a monster.
She came for the bodies. Not for me. And I was never supposed to want her to stay.
From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes Property of Scar. A vampire with centuries of ghosts. A hunter who never planned on staying. And an enemy who’s been waiting three and a half centuries to finish what he started. In the Kings of Anarchy, loyalty is carved in blood, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all.
This is book two of the Kings of Anarchy: New Hampshire MC Series.
She ran from me at eighteen. Spent eight years pretending I was a nightmare she’d outgrown.
Cute.
I wasn’t her nightmare. I was her future—she just didn’t know it yet.
I bullied her in high school because I was sixteen and savage and she was the only thing I ever wanted that I couldn’t take. So, I made her miserable. Made sure no one touched her. Made sure she went to bed every night with my name in her teeth like a curse.
She hated me. Good. Hate is just obsession without the honesty.
Eight years later, our parents’ marriage is crumbling and the family’s drowning in debt they don’t know I own.
Every dollar—every last one—I bought with her name on my lips.
Now she’s home. My house. My rules. My week.
Seven nights before Thanksgiving. Seven nights of whatever I want, and the debt disappears.
She thinks she’s surviving me. She doesn’t realize I’m ruining her on purpose.
By Thursday, she’ll sit at my table, say grace with our family, and when I tell her to say thank you—she won’t just mean it. She’ll be desperate to.

There was a time when I had the world at my fingertips.
I was the legendary Josh Mancini, star linebacker for the L.A Gladiators.
Women worshipped me and men wanted to be me.
Then tragedy struck and I lost it all, and … I lost myself.
Guilt and shame consumed me, sending me into the arms of alcohol, loose women, and more self-loathing.
No one had to tell me I was on a self-destruct mission. One that could end my career for good—and maybe my life.
Then she came…
Amy Rose.
My new PA.
The sweet, flawless, goddess of a woman tasked with resurrecting the old me for the upcoming season.
It was a clever move from the team’s PR company to hire her. Everyone knew that beautiful women were my weakness, and she had the kind of beauty that would rival the angels.
She was the very last thing I wanted.
Temptation… and, I hated the raw attraction that drew me to her.
It would be easier if she wasn’t in my life.
There was just one small problem…
I need her.

Today she needs rescuing. The kind that required driving across state to get her.
Scott refused to allow me to go alone, and somehow I agree to this road trip.
Hopping in that car with him meant stepping into a hot, steamy ride that sends my emotions into overdrive.
Passion and desire were always our problem.
And, Passion still wants to make us it’s slaves.
Scott says once more time… just today… just tonight.
Except… our hearts start to take it a little further.
Once more, or forever?
Love is a hard thing to throw away.
But… Scott was the worst man for me.
If I allow him to break my heart again, he could break me.

After years in health care marketing, she decided to prescribe a dose of healthy escape from daily stress for romance readers like her. Kristin draws her inspiration from her family’s past Chocolate Lab Café in a small Midwest town. Plus, she’s married to the original red hot roaster who advises her on all things coffee.

Then she came back. Now all bets were off. I wasn’t letting her get away this time.
When club business collided with her business, we stepped in. But this was only the beginning. They thought they could come into our town and take what was under our protection.
Hurt my Ol’ Lady.
They should have known better than to fuck with the Kings.
Cassandra ‘Sassy’ Hogan
He’d lived to torment me. I’d never been sure why. Not that I let it divert me from my plans. I couldn’t wait to put Bitterthorn in my rear view mirror.
And I did. For years. As soon as I graduated from high school, I left and never looked back. I worked hard. Owned and ran a successful bar in Florida.
I was happy and thought I had it made.
An unexpected attack shattered my peaceful life. All I wanted was to feel safe again. When I saw a bar for sale in my old hometown of Bitterthorn, I bought it and moved back home. Hoping I’d feel safe again. Even if it meant trading sunshine and sea for wide-open spaces and bitterly cold winters.
The last thing I expected was to be swept of my feet. That he would charm me or that I’d come to trust him so deeply, so quickly, when I’d never expected to trust another man again. Instinctively I knew he would never hurt me.
When my business and club business collide. I’m more than happy to let the Kings handle the problem.
Because everyone knows you don’t fuck with the Kings.
