Here's "Reaper's Violet" by Ethan Brand. It's the first novel in his Steel Phoenixes MC series.
["You don't save a man like Reaper and walk away clean.
Axel. Vice President of the Steel Phoenixes MC. 6'7" of raw muscle, faded ink, and a decade of silence where his heart used to be. The last man who got close to him ended up in the ground, and Axel's been making damn sure no one gets close again.
Kai. ER nurse. Smart mouth. Violet highlights in his hair that he wears like a dare. He's spent years building a quiet small apartment, night shifts, no attachments. Safe. Boring. His.
Then he finds a dying giant bleeding out on the concrete at 3 AM, and his hands move before his brain catches up.
One act of mercy. That's all it takes.
Now Axel owes his life to a civilian with soft eyes and steady hands—the worst kind of weakness for a man with enemies. And Kai? Kai just stepped into a war he didn't know existed. A trafficking ring with cops on its payroll. An FBI agent who wants the Phoenixes burned to the ground. And a clubhouse full of outlaws who've already decided he's one of theirs.
Axel knows what happens to people he cares about. He should push Kai away. He should disappear. He should do anything other than pin this man against a wall and…
Too late."]
The romance wasn't as slow burn or as angsty or as spicy (though it did get spicer) as I had imagined. But it was still so fabulous.
This book was about about second chances and found family and proving yourself (to yourself) and living life bravely and taking chances.
This book really set up a great foundation for an entire series, so many clues already to so many future couples.
Trigger Warnings: violence, stalking, threats, trafficking, foster system, toxic parents, mentions of past child abuse, homophobia, corruption, and more.
