ABOUT THE BOOK: release Date August 13, 2026

Yak

I moved here to help my brother. I never had plans to stay. Until I met her.

Julie Corday. She is everything I should stay away from, but she’s inserted herself into my world.

It’s going to get her killed. That is, unless I decide to save her.

Julie

My life has always been safe and sheltered. I never knew I was missing out.

Until I met him. Yak.

He is everything my father hates, yet he is the man I yearn for. He keeps telling me I’m in danger, but I don’t care.

No matter what happens, I’m choosing him.

REVIEW:YAK is the first instalment in Cala Riley’s contemporary, adult KINGS OF ANARCHY: OAKHEART ONTARIO erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored Kings of Anarchy MC. This is Jameson ‘Yak’ Taylor, and twenty-five year old PA Julie Corday’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Yak and Julie) YAK follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. A night on the town with a co-worker finds our heroine in need of rescuing-enter Jameson ‘Yak’ Taylor, the newest members of the Kings of Anarchy MC-Oakheart Ontario, and the man with whom Julie will fall in love. Not one but twice Julie is on the receiving end of unwanted attention, and in this, Yak becomes guardian and protect of the woman with whom he will fall in love but all is not well within the KOAMC, and the member must go on the offensive to ferret out a possible betrayer.

The world building focuses on the hierarchy in the KOAMC: Oakheart, and the potential for a betrayal against the people at the top. Drugs and weapons are their main source of income but with it comes the usual threats, and recriminations on the wrong side of the law.

The relationship between Julie and Yak begins as a rescue. Out with a friend, Julie finds herself assaulted, and Yak is determined to save her life. Frightened and somewhat oblivious to the world of the MC, Julie is pulled into a lifestyle she knows little about but Julie’s father is the local chief of police, and the MC is not very high on his list of trustworthy friends. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and often questionable secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to the Kings of Anarchy : Oakheart President and Yak’s brother Bennett ‘Yooper’ Taylor, Aragon, Goose, Canuck, Poutine,IT specialist Predator, SAA Yukon, Sap, Timbit, Tailgunner Wolverine, Mowtown, as well as Julie’s father Chief Benjamin Corday, his second in command Ray Overstreet, Julie’s co-worker Lisa and friend Liz, and several of Yak’s former brothers with another MC.

YAK is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, loss and grief, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and gritty; the romance is edgy; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.
