MAVERICK is the third instalment in Morgan Jane Mitchell’s contemporary, adult ROAD MONSTERS MC erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored MAYHEM MAKERS. This is former Detective, Maverick aka Hallow, aka August Adam Hart, and twenty-five year old, attorney Lexi Bryan’s story line. Maverick was originally introduced at Hallow in HALLOW’S EVE (RBMC: Nashville 1). There is also a slight cross over with the KINGS OF ANARCHY series.
Told from dual over lapping first person perspectives (Lexi and Maverick) MAVERICK follows attorney Lexi when a phone call from her mother finds Lexi heading to a California biker rally, where she will come face to face with our story line hero but all does not go according to plan when Lexi finds herself on the run with Maverick Hart, a bad-boy biker whose past is complicated, and the mob breathing down their necks. As Lexi struggles with her future going forward, a perceived betrayal sends Lexi into hiding, effectively pushing Maverick out of her life but once again, Lexi’s naivete has led to an impromptu decision, a decision that is now threatening her life, and Maverick is seeing déjà vu all over again.
The world building follows several paths, and the complications get longer and darker as the story goes along. Maverick’s past is convoluted and problematic, and in this, his past is about to destroy what’s left of his shattered heart. Lexi struggles to find a balance between the life she wants and the life she has chosen, a life that is no longer her own.Never knowing who is her father, Lexi struggles with more than one piece of news, and the DNA tests that cannot be refuted.
The relationship between Lexi and Maverick begins at a biker rally, one in which Lexi’s life will change forever. Having fallen in love with our story line hero, betrayal comes at a cost, a cost that now threatens their lives going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate
