ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 21, 2025

She writes about killers. He kills. This December, they’ll meet.

Celeste Sterling came home to the Adirondacks with writer’s block and daddy issues. She’ll leave with blood on her hands and a monster’s ring on her finger.

Between now and then? Twenty-three days of being hunted by a man who makes her fictional villains look like choir boys. A man who collects deer skulls like love letters. Who knows every filthy word she’s ever written—including the ones she deleted.

Welcome to a small town where everyone’s keeping secrets, Daddy’s gun won’t save you, and the local serial killer has been waiting two years for his favorite author to come home. Celeste thought she understood darkness. After all, she’s made millions writing it.

But there’s a difference between typing “he’s dangerous” and having danger learn your daily routine. Between writing “touch her and die” and watching him make that promise literal.

Between creating a monster and realizing one already exists.

***The hunter has become obsessed.The author is about to become his.And Daddy dearest? He’s about to become family with a serial killer.

‘Tis the season for a dark romance that will ruin you for safe men and happy endings.

•••••

REVIEW:HE SEES YOU by Elizabeth Knox is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, dark, erotic, holiday romance focusing on thirty-one year old, author Celeste Sterling, and Cain Lockwood’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Celeste and Cain) HE SEES YOU follows author Celeste Sterling as ventures home for the Christmas holidays, in search of the muse which has been missing for a while but Celeste’s return home comes with the warning of a serial killer in the Adirondacks, a serial killer whose victims all have questionable pasts. As Celeste’s dark romance story lines begins to take on a life of their own, our heroine will be pulled into a world of vengeance, a world in which she is about to becomes a principal player.

The world building is dark and gritty, as the reader is up close and personal with not only the monsters in Celeste’s books but the monsters in real life.

The relationship between Celeste and Cain is controversial and unconventional, yet the ultimate goal is to cleanse the world of evil. As Celeste and Cain begin to uncover the truth, our couple make plans for their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are erotic and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are questionable and deviant. We are introduced to Cain’s sister and Celeste’s agent Juliette Lockwood; Celeste’s father Sheriff Sterling; Deputy Jake Bauer, and Detective Morrison.

HE SEES YOU is a gritty, haunting and tragic tale of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The premise is raw and gritty; the romance is unorthodox and unique; the characters are destructive, deviant and twisted.

Caution should be exercised for readers susceptible to triggers.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 1, 2026

Her addiction nearly killed her, and our second chance came with a price.

Bloodhound

When I found Vanna unconscious in that hospital bed—barely alive after her worst overdose yet—I made a promise that would change everything. No matter what it took, I wouldn’t watch her destroy herself anymore.

I’ve seen the darkest corners of human suffering, but nothing prepared me for the moment she looked at me with clear eyes for the first time in years and whispered she didn’t want to die.

Twelve weeks of rehab. One night of weakness between us. And now she’s back with news that changes everything—a chance at the family I never thought we’d have.

She’s fighting her demons with everything she’s got. Making promises I want desperately to believe.

But Morgantown has a long memory, and her past isn’t done with her yet.

When her former dealer shows up saying she owes him, that the debts can only be paid one way, it’s not just her recovery at stake. It’s our entire future.

Some men think broken women are easy prey. They’ve never met a man who’d burn the whole world down to keep his family safe.

I’ve spent years watching her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ll destroy anyone who tries to drag her back into darkness—even if I have to become the monster they fear most.

•••••

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 3, 2025

I was sent to kill him. I gave him an heir instead.

Sienna

My father raised me to be a weapon. Cold. Calculating. Lethal.

Varrick Bane was supposed to be just another target. Another king to topple. Another body to leave bleeding on concrete while I collected my father’s approval like coins.But the Bastard King of Vancouver doesn’t die easy.

He saw through my seduction before I even walked through his door. Knew I came to kill him. And instead of putting a bullet in my head, he kept me close—too close—until the lines between predator and prey blurred beyond recognition.

Now I’m carrying his child. My father is demanding blood. My sister’s life hangs in the balance. And Varrick? He’s turned me from a weapon into something far moreA woman with something to lose.

In this city, love is a death sentence and betrayal is currency. I have three weeks to kill the only man who’s ever seen me as more than a killer. Three weeks before my father kills everything I love.

The game was always rigged. But when you play with kings, even winning means losing everything.

•••••

REVIEW: SILENT SCHEMES is the first instalment and prequel in the contemporary, adult, BROKEN BLOOD dark, erotic, crime world romance series co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and Snow Haven. This is Varrick Bane, and Sienna Cross’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Varrick and Sienna) SILENT SCHEMES follows the building relationship between Varrick Bane, and Sienna Cross, a relationship predicted upon a lie but a relationship meant to end in death of our story line hero. Sienna Cross is a weapon, honed by her father and his men, a weapon meant to destroy anyone standing in their way. Varrick Bane has been keeping tabs on the woman sent to kill but a woman with whom he will fall in love.

The world building follow Sienna as she struggles in the wake of falling for a man she was sent to kill. There is a war on the horizon, and our couple are about to caught in the middle.

The relationship between Varrick and Sienna is based on a lie. Sienna has been trained as an assassin, and Varrick is her next target. Varrick is wholly aware that Sienna has been sent to kill but our hero has fallen for the woman who will take a part of him he may never get back. The $ex scenes are limited but intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are charismatic yet questionable. We are introduced to Varrick’s half brothers Korrin and Cyrus; Varrick’s mentor Will Romano; Sienna’s sixteen year old sister Maya, and their father Theodore Cross, crime lord Bastian Cross; Sienna’s aggressive handler Vincent Carlisle.

SILENT SCHEMES is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, love and loss. The character driven premise is dark and edgy; the romance is virtually non-existent; the characters are energetic and determined. SILENT SCHEMES ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 27, 2025

Rosalynn

I should have stayed away. Hell, I knew he was bad news the first moment I saw him. But, I’d always been drawn to bad men, and he was no different. Only, there was something different about him.

He wasn’t the kind of man who would throw me against a wall and beat me until I couldn’t see straight. Varrick was a monster and I had no doubt about it. Yet, in time he became my monster, lurking in every shadow, willing to kill for me.

The world was against us, but we could survive it all.

•••••

REVIEW: DIRTY GAME is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult BROKEN BLOOD dark, erotic, crime world romance series co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and Haven Snow. This is forensic accountant Rosalynn Lombardi, and crime lord Varrick ‘King’ Bane’s story line. DIRTY GAME can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the prequel SILENT SCHEMES for background and cohesion.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Varrick and Rosalynn) DIRTY GAME focuses on the building relationship between our story line couple. Rosalynn Lombardi and Varrick Bane. Rosalynn has been sold to Varrick Bane as payment for a debt, a debt incurred by her family, a family that has used and abused our storyline heroine. As a forensic accountant, Rosalynn will become a beneficial to Varrick Bane, as she digs deeps and navigates a book keeping system that hides the numerous sins and betrayals by the people Varrick one trusted. As Rosalynn slowly begins to trust the man who could destroy her heart, Varrick’s past demands retribution, everything and more.

The world building focuses on betrayal and vengeance as Rosalynn must come to terms with the proverbial ‘frying pan into the fire’ but a fire that will become guardian and protector in the face of corruption and mistreatment. As Rosalynn begins to uncover a trail of exploitation and theft, the past returns demanding everything and more.

The relationship between Varrick and Rosalynn begins as a transaction, a payment for debt but quickly turns into something more. Varrick will become aware of the tragedy and abuse that has befallen our heroine, and in doing so, promises to love and cherish the woman that will call to his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic, and powerful. We are introduced to Varrick’s half-brothers Korrin and Cyrus; Rosalynn’s brother Marco, and their uncle Enzo, and Varrick’s housekeeper Maria. The requisite evil has many faces.

DIRTY GAME is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and madness, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and gritty; the romance is edgy and provocative; the characters are desperate, determined and struggling to heal.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 19, 2025

I’m the one who brings bloodshed.

Rex

When problems need dealt with in Dublin, I’m the call they make. When betrayal needs answering, I’m the blade in the dark. The Brotherhood’s perfect soldier—no conscience, no connections, no questions asked.

Then Liam Mackenzie sends me to Tallahassee with simple orders: shadow Dalla, Doran’s wife’s twin-sister. Keep her breathing. Report any threats. He doesn’t tell me Dalla would become my biggest threat.

She sees through me from day one. Calls me on my shit. Refuses to be intimidated by the monster Dublin created. While her twin sister plays happy family with Doran, Dalla watches me like she’s dissecting my soul.

I tell myself I hate her for it. For the way she hums while cooking. For how happy she looks when she sketches her designs. For making me want things monsters don’t get to have. But when an enemy comes for the Dalla—when they take her to gut Doran’s empire from the inside—something in me breaks.

Turns out I’m not Liam Mackenzie’s weapon anymore. I’m hers. Everyone’s about to learn what happens when you steal from a man who’s already lost everything. She thinks I’m just her shadow. Her reluctant protector.

She has no idea she’s the only thing keeping the devil on his leash.

REVIEW: SCANDAL is the tenth and final instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD dark, erotic, MC romance series, a spin off set in the RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC world co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land. This is Irish Brotherhood protector RJ Malone, and twenty six year old, fashion designer and MC princes Dalla’s story line. SCANDAL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Dalla is the daughter of Club president Rune and Fern, and sister of Revna Volkov(Sadistic 4). For fans of the authors, there is a slight cross over with The Mackenzies series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives ( Dalla and RJ) SCANDAL follows in the wake of the arrival in Ireland of our story line heroine. Dalla is a fashion designer whose designs have caught the eye of Greer MacKenzie, who runs a fashion empire out of Ireland. A fashion show, a shoot out, and a personal bodyguard find Dalla on a plane back to Florida, where she will find herself with twenty-four hour protection in the guise of Irish Brotherhood protector RJ Malone. RJ Malone believes himself a monster but from their very first introduction, RJ knows that Dalla is more than a job but the woman with whom our hero will fall in love, and protecting Dalla has become more difficult when RJ discovers a years long vendetta has placed a target on our heroine’s back.

The world building crosses the globe as the crime world, MC and human trafficking cross a dangerous path of power and control. Dalla will be caught in the middle of a potential underworld war, and the sins of the past take aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Dalla and RJ begins acrimoniously but RJ has been assigned to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love, a woman that stirs something RJ thought long dead and gone. Dalla’s attraction to RJ is immediate and intense but someone is hunting our heroine, who is often TSTL in the face of danger and death. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting including many members of the Raiders of Valhalla MC, their families, and prospects, as well as the return of Dalla’s parents Runes and Fern, and her sister Revna and her husband Doran Volkov.Several of the characters will cross over with the author’s new series : RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: Prospects.

SCANDAL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and reprisal, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is subtle; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 4, 2025

I’m the girl nobody kept. He’s the man who won’t let go.

Ingrid

He never looked at me like I was broken, didn’t flinch when Njal made me a joke in front of the whole club and pretended not to notice when Bjorn used me up and threw me away like I was nothing.

I’m Fenrir’s youngest daughter. Charm’s baby girl. Raiders of Valhalla princess with a shattered crown and a body count of men who proved I’m only good for one thing.

So, I stopped trying to be anything else.

I take what I want now. I f*ck who I choose. I let them think I’m the club’s wild child because it’s easier than admitting I’m just the girl nobody wanted to keep.

Then Gunnar stops pretending he doesn’t see me.

One touch. One night when I’m spiraling and he’s the only one who doesn’t try to fix me—just holds me while I break. One moment when those steady hands and that patient heart make me feel like maybe I’m not as ruined as I think.

But I know better. I’ve learned this lesson twice already. Men in this club don’t love girls like me.

They f*ck us, they shame us, they move on to someone worth keeping. Gunnar says I’m wrong. Says he’s been waiting for me. Says he’ll prove every man before him was a coward who couldn’t handle what I am.

Now I have to choose: Believe him and risk shattering completely, or walk away from the only man who’s ever made me feel whole.

REVIEW: MORBID is the ninth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD dark, erotic, MC romance series, a spin off set in the RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC world co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land. This is Gunnar Sigmarr, and masseuse Ingrid’s story line. MORBID can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary, Ingrid is the daughter of VP Fenrir and Charm (Malicious #1); Gunnar is the son of Vail and Vanir (Menacing # 5).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gunnar and Ingrid) MORBID follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Gunnar and Ingrid grew up together, a second generation in the Raiders of Valhalla MC but Ingrid struggles with issues of low self esteem, refusing to accept that Gunnar is anything more than a lifelong friend. As the MC goes in search of a child trafficking ring, Ingrid finds herself targeted in the name of vengeance and power. Refusing to let Ingrid wallow in self-pity, Gunnar takes control, promising forever but forever may not be on our hero’s agenda.

The world building follows several interconnected paths as the MC go in search of those unable to protect themselves but the closer to uncovering the people involved, Gunnar and Ingrid find themselves targets, fighting for their lives.

The relationship between Ingrid and Gunnar is a best friends to lovers but Ingrid battles between head and heart, believing she is unworthy of her own happily ever after. Reinforced by those she once thought of as friends. Having been thrown to side too many times, Ingrid continues to have issues of trust, including trust in the man who promised forever. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Ingrid’s parents VP Fenrir and Charm , and Gunnar’s parents Vail and Vanir. The requisite evil has many faces.

MORBID is a story of betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional and critical friendships, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The characters driven premise is dramatic, dark and edgy; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are struggling, healing , determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2025

I’ve been running from the club for years.
Helle
From my father’s disappointment. From my sister’s shadow. From the blood I watched spill in our clubhouse my entire life.
They think I’m at college. Think I’m being their good girl, studying hard, making them proud.
They have no idea I’ve been living under fake names. Racing bikes in illegal circuits. Tending bar in places where angels fear to tread. Becoming everything my parents taught me not to be.
But when I hear my father almost died—when I learn Los Coyotes came for him—I break my only rule.
I come home.
That’s where I meet him. The Nomad from Texas with scarred knuckles and dead eyes. The Shotgun Saint who doesn’t know I’m Raiders of Valhalla royalty when he pins me against an alley wall after a bar fight goes wrong.
He thinks I’m just another wild girl looking for trouble. Another conquest before he leaves Florida.
He has no idea he just claimed Ivar’s youngest daughter. No idea that loving me means war between clubs. No idea that the secret I’m running from could destroy everything.
Now I have to choose: Keep running, or stand and fight beside a man who makes my father’s bloodshed look like mercy.

••••••

REVIEW: SINFUL is the eighth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD erotic, MC romance, a second generation series set in the RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land. This is thirty-three year old, Texas nomad Bravos, and club princess, street racer Helle’s story line. SINFUL can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout. Helle is the daughter of Ivar and Starla (SAVAGE #10). SINFUL advances the series approximately three years after the events of book seven MISERY.

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

Told from dual first person perspective (Bravos and Helle) SINFUL follows in the aftermath of the events of MISERY in which our heroine, believing herself unwanted, ran. Fast forward three years, Starla, now working as a bartender in Florida, is called home in the wake of her father’s abduction by the Los Coyotes Cartel where she will meet her future in the guise of nomad Bravos, a man who is struggling with his own demons from the past. Sent to Florida, to aid in the take of the Los Coyotes Cartel, Bravos will come face to face with our story line heroine, a woman who is battling the monsters that pushed her out of her family’s life. Working alongside one another, and with the help of not only the Raiders of Valhalla MC but the Reaper’s Rejects MC and newcomer Shotgun Saints MC, Bravos will help take down the Los Coyotes Cartel, and find his own happily ever after with our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the search and rescue of Helle’s father Ivar; the forgiveness for one woman who is struggling with too much guilt, and the methodical dismantling and destruction of the Los Coyotes Cartel.

The relationship between Helle and Bravos is one of immediate attraction: a lust to love relationship predicated upon a need for revenge, wherein two lost souls find solace in one another. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is large ensemble cast of diverse and varied secondary and supporting characters from both the REAPER’S REJECTS MC AND RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC series, as well as the introduction of the author’s new SHOTGUN SAINTS MC. Several characters cross over for cohesion and familiarity.

SINFUL is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies, family and forgiveness, relationships and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited but fast and furious ; the characters are determined, desperate and flawed.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 13, 2025

I’ve been watching her for seven months.

Oskar
Every coffee run. Every art class. Every time she steps outside that fortress Emil built.

My brother gave me one job: protect Elfe. The girl who almost died on her kitchen floor because of Los Coyotes. The virgin who paints her nightmares and still flinches when someone moves too fast.

She doesn’t know I exist. Doesn’t know I’m the one who’s been annihilating every threat before they reach her. Doesn’t know I’ve already taken care of the men who got too close.

I should keep it that way. She’s innocent. Fragile. Everything the son of Fenrir shouldn’t want.

But when Los Coyotes take her father—when they demand her in exchange—everything changes.

She thinks she needs to sacrifice herself. Thinks she’s still that broken girl who barely survived their first message.

She has no idea she’s been mine since the moment I saw her blood stained on the kitchen floor. No idea that I’ve been at war with myself every single day since.

Now Los Coyotes are about to learn why the Raiders of Valhalla call me their Executioner.

Because good girls might not fall for monsters, but this monster will paint the streets red to keep his girl breathing.

••••••

REVIEW: MISERY is the seventh instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is thirty-one year old, MC member Oskar, son of VP Fenrir, and twenty-three year old Elfe’s, daughter of Road Captain Ivar, story line. MISERY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading SACRIFICE number six for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Oskar and Elfe) MISERY follows in the wake of an attack, seven months earlier, against our story line heroine. Like Oskar, Elfe is a second generation member, a club princess who is struggling since an attack that left her feeling vulnerable and lost but Elfe is unaware of the darkness that continues to focus on our heroine, or the man who has declared himself guardian and protector of the woman with whom he is falling in love. As the threats against Elfe become more personal, Oskar makes it his mission to destroy anyone taking aim at our story line heroine; and Elfe will confront her family focusing on the spiralling family dynamics.

The world building continues to focus on the threats aimed at the Raiders of Valhalla MC by the group known as Los Coyotes. An obsession and personal vendetta are targeting our story line couple but the people closest to Elfe will pay the price.

The relationship between Elfe and Oskar begins as a ‘secret assignment’ when Oskar is tasked with protecting the woman with whom he will fall in love. Elfe is struggling in the weeks and months following the attack, and often feels threatened by the people around her. Oskar never thought he would fall in love with our story line heroine but seven months of watching and protecting pull Oskar towards the woman that calls to his heart. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters including several generational members of the Raiders of Valhalla MC including Elfe’s parents Ivar and Starla, and her sister Helle; Oskar’s parents Fenrir and Charm; and a ghost from the past that refuses to stay down.

MISERY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics and heart break, forgiveness and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic, dark and edgy; the romance is limited ; the characters are desperate, charismatic and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 30, 2025

Years ago, I made a promise over my wife’s grave.

Rio
I promised I’d kill every last Culebra bastard who took her from me. I’d make them pay for murdering my pregnant wife and leaving me to raise our daughters alone. I’ve kept that promise. One bullet at a time. But there’s one thing I didn’t plan on—Dasha becoming everything I never knew I needed. She’s been there through the nightmares, the rage, the guilt. Watching my girls like they’re her own. Looking at me like I’m still worth saving. I’ve fought like hell to keep her at arm’s length. Good girls don’t fall for killers. And I’m the worst kind of killer—the kind who enjoys the work.

But when Bembe threatens her to get to me, everything goes up in flames. She thinks I’m her friend. Her protector. She has no idea she’s been mine since the day she first smiled at my daughters. Now the cartel’s about to learn what happens when you threaten a dead man’s only reason for living.

REVIEW: MONSTROSITY is the fifth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD dark, MC romance series, set in the RAIDERS OF VALHALLA world co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land, with characters crossing over from the author’s The Mackenzies Series. This is thirty-two year old, prospect and single father Riodhr ‘Rio’ Rojas, and barista / thirty-nine year old, nanny Dasha’s story line. MONSTROSITY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rio and Dasha) MONSTROSITY focuses on Rio’s need for revenge. Approximately five years earlier Culebra Cartel destroyed Rio’s left leaving him a single father of two young girls. Desperate, Rio accepts help from the Raiders’ ol’ ladies, and barista Dasha but in the interim continued to seek revenge for the woman he love. Fast forward to present day Rio discovers his family has once again been targeted, and he is determined to protect the woman that calls to his heart. Everyone knows Dasha fell in love with Rio the first time they met but Rio is oblivious in the wake of losing the woman he loved but when Dasha and his daughter’s are targeted, Rio goes on the offensive, calling in help from the Raiders and the Irish mob.

The world building follows the search for the people responsible for destroying Rio’s life, and Dasha’s attraction to a man who refuses to place another woman in the direct line of fire but regardless of his determination and need to protect, the threats are real, and the Raiders call the families home for protection.

The relationship between Rio and Dasha is a friends to lovers in which Rio continues to struggle with the murder of his first wife, and the lack of closure with his need for revenge. Dasha knows Rio is the man that calls to her heart but Rio doesn’t realize his future is in the hands of our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of determined and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Raiders of Valhalla MC, as well as Cartel head Bembe Reyes, head of the Irish mob Liam Mackenzie, and his ‘nephew’ Doran Volkov; and Rio’s daughters Cali and Florencia. The requisite evil has many faces.

MONSTROSITY is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and preoccupation, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited; the characters are desperate and aggressive.

(RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: NEW BLOOD 6)
by Elizabeth Knox
Genre: adult, contemporary, dark, MC,romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 8, 2025

One wedding night ruined everything.

Saga
I hate Emil for destroying my life. For taking what we did in the dark and acting like it gave him ownership papers. For scaring off every man who dares to look at me. Most of all, I hate him for being right—we both know I’ve been his since that night.
The VP’s son doesn’t know how to be subtle. He sabotages my dates, stakes his claim in public, and watches me with eyes that promise I’ll end up in his bed again. I tell him I hate him. Often. Loudly.

But then the threats start coming. My tires get slashed. My apartment gets broken into. And suddenly Emil’s sleeping in his truck outside my building, standing guard like I matter more than his own safety. He takes a bullet meant for me without hesitating. Refuses pain meds to stay alert for my protection. Puts his body between me and danger like he was born to be my shield.

This man I claim to hate bleeds for me. Kills for me. Offers up his own life like it’s nothing compared to mine. And when he looks at me with those battle-worn eyes and says he’d do it all again, I realize the truth: I don’t hate Emil. I hate how much I need him. I hate that he’s right—I’ve always been his. But mostly? I hate that I’m done fighting it. Some men take what they want. Emil gives everything he has. And I’m about to give in.

REVIEW: SACRIFICE is the sixth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA : NEW BLOOD erotic, MC romance series- a second generation set in the Raiders of Valhalla MC series co-authored by Elizabeth Knox and EC Land. This is thirty-five year old, Emil and twenty-one year old, Saga’s story line. SACRIFICE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Emil is the son of VP Fenrir and his wife (Malicious #1): Saga is the daughter of Enforcer Rati and his wife Gwen (Malevolent #3).

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emil and Saga) SACRIFICE follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Emil and Saga have a past, a history that places Emil as Saga’s guardian and protector but MC member Riodhr and Dasha’s wedding is the final straw for our story line heroine, when Emil scares yet another potential suitor away from our story line heroine. Emil wants Saga but his rigidity to order, and Saga’s need for freedom threaten any chance of a relationship for our story line couple but the Los Coyotes MC wants power, taking aim at the RoV MC, but especially the women connected to club.

The world building focuses on the protection of the MC but more specifically their most innocent members. When Los Coyotes make it personal for Emil, the RoV MC go on the offensive, stopping the Los Coyotes before they can do any more harm.

The relationship between Emil and Saga is tempestuous at best. Saga claims she wants nothing to do with our story line hero but the heart wants more including the love and protection of the man with whom Saga will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, determined and energetic secondary and supporting characters, many of who we met in the original series. We are reintroduced to Saga’s best friend/ roommate and Road Captain’s daughter Elfe, and Saga’s brother Soren.

SACRIFICE is another fast paced, action packed story of obsession and determination, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is climatic and tense; the romance is fated but limited; the characters are determined and dynamic.
