Dominion Hall #8
The Reaper: A Dark Billionaire Military Romance
They say you can’t serve two masters.
But I was trying to serve a hundred—
My restaurant, my reputation, the impossible standards I’d wrapped around myself like armor.
I built Promenade from nothing. I clawed my way into the culinary world one reservation, one review at a time.
There was no room for distractions.
Especially not men.
Then Caleb Dane walked in.
New in town. Quiet. Lethal.
He didn’t say much that first night, just sat alone and watched.
But somehow, I felt it—that weight of his stare, the danger in his stillness.
It was like being hunted in plain sight, and something inside me—something buried—rose to meet him.
I told myself he was just a customer.
Then he came back. Again and again.
Not for the food.
Not for the view.
For me.
He says he wants to keep me safe.
But I’ve seen the look in his eyes.
There’s nothing safe about Caleb Dane.
He’s not just a man—he’s a force of nature.
Unmovable. Unrelenting. And already circling.
I’ve spent years controlling every detail of my life.
But the second I let him touch me, I knew—
I wasn’t in control anymore. He was.
Because when Caleb wants something, he takes it.
And when he decides it’s his?
There’s no escape. No negotiation. No second chances.
I thought I was building a legacy.
Turns out, I was building a cage.
And he just walked in with the key.

About the Dominion Hall
Fourteen men. One brotherhood.
Built in Charleston, South Carolina in the shadows of war and wealth, Dominion Hall isn’t just a mansion—it’s their fortress. Ruthless. Untouchable. Dangerous.
But even the strongest men fall… for the wrong woman.
Enemies will come.
Betrayal will burn.
And the men of Dominion Hall?
They’ll bury anyone who dares to touch what’s theirs.
Possessive. Jealous. Obsessive.
These billionaires don’t share. They claim.
For fans of dangerous love, anti-heroes who live by their own rules, and the women who bring them to their knees.

About the author
Jack Flynn
20 books26 followersJack Flynn co-writes dark billionaire military romance with Lainey Ray.
Jack is a former military man with a sharp mind, a devilish smirk, and a habit of taking control—in fiction and otherwise. He likes his books like he likes his combat strategies: fast-paced, explosive, and leaving no survivors. When he’s not crafting tactical missions and deadly antiheroes, you can find him reading action thrillers, watching war movies, or engaging in other kinds of action we won’t discuss here.
Jack brings the precision, the danger, and the raw intensity to every Jack & Lainey book. He knows exactly how to build a hero who commands a room, claims a woman, and takes down anyone who dares to stand in his way.
Rumor has it, Jack never loses control … unless Lainey’s involved.

The Reaper introduces the first son of Byron Dane's second family, that was one of the surprise twists at the end of The Ghost, book eight of the Dominion Hall series. Caleb Dane's nickname, The Reaper, was earned because he's stealthy, deadly and takes care of business. Being summoned to Charleston for unknown reasons didn't sit well with him but catching a glimpse of Meghan Delaney in the altogether may have made the trip worthwhile or if nothing else, more interesting. Meghan is chef/restaurateur, singularly focused with one goal in mind, a Michelin star rating. To that end she's driven, tireless, demanding and successfully making her restaurant, The Promenade, "the dining destination" of Charleston. She's trying to achieve her parents' dream as a means of penance. Caleb lights something inside her she's always kept buried deep. He stands beside her, protects her and celebrates her triumphs without taking away her independence. Because she's threatened, he finds the real power behind being a Dane. Unlimited resources, assistance, backup and far reaching connections. Because being family is everything.
