Bone Deep

by Char Dafoe

For the past thirty years Rae had been a legend in her adopted hometown of Alluring. She evolved from hot-tempered, brawling playboy to a respected leader of the Dark Angels and the town's protector. Once widowed, twice betrothed, and a mother to a teenage daughter, Rae felt invincible after the horrendous heartbreak she has endured throughout her lifetime.
A decade later of easy living, Rae's confidence in her status as an aging leader begins to waver when a snowball effect transforms right before her very eyes when a cocky kid rolls into town with eyes for Rae's wife, who also inadvertently invites a rival gang to trample all over her perfect world, forcing Rae, once again, to pull out the big guns to keep her family safe. Can she be strong enough one more time while tending to a shattered heart and shouldering a big secret she intends on taking to the grave -- literally?

About the author

The Kitten series will always remain my shining star. Rae and her family is what got me into writing and what's kept me going. As I venture off towards new characters and storylines, one thing that will stay the same is the butch/femme dynamic. I have even dabbled with butch/soft butch non-binary characters. I love masculine women and everything about them, from their charm, chivalry, style and everything else in between.

This past spring I happily signed a contract with Painted Hearts Publishing for my new book, A Jade's Diamond, that will be released in the new year. I hope to continue working with the lgbtq publisher for more great stories I write.

I look forward to hearing your opinion toward my older books and my newer books that will be published in the near future.

Worth the wait. So, I waited until book four of the series was released before reading this one because I didn't want to have to wait for the finale. This story was worth the wait. I've been a fan of this series since coming across the prequel. And while Rae is someone anyone could envy for many reasons, my favorite character will always be Ruby. Watching her stumble a bit in this one was hard at times, but seeing her become even more emotionally mature at her age gives me hope. We can all continue to grow the older we get. Never to old to learn. And the way her and Rae learn to love each other deeper and deeper is heartwarming. Don't worry, it's not all mush. Of course there is blood, violence, sex, and bikes. It wouldn't be a Kitten story without them.

If you thought about putting the series down after the emotional rollercoaster ending to book two, don't. This one is worth the read and will heal you a bit like the characters heal.
