She came to him in pieces. He’ll shatter anyone who tries to take her back.
Hakon
I was nine years old when my mother put me on a plane and told me to forget her face.
Off to a new country, forced to learn a new language. I even had a new name on the school roster. I learned to flatten my accent until nobody asked where I came from. Learned to smile softly, hold doors, laugh at the right jokes.
I learned that the easiest way to disappear isn’t to run. It’s to be the kind of man nobody bothers to remember. By the time I started to prospect for the Raiders of Valhalla, I’d been a ghost so long I’d forgotten there was anything underneath.
Then I found her bleeding in a parking lot in the middle of the night. Wrong girl. Wrong night. Wrong man already coming back to finish what he started. I should’ve called it in. Should’ve handed her off to someone with rank and a clean conscience. Instead I put a bullet in him, wrapped her in my cut, and broke every rule I swore I’d ever follow.
She won’t tell me her name. Won’t tell me who he was. Won’t stop flinching every time I move too fast. She doesn’t have to. I know that kind of fear. I was raised by it. And the second I saw it on her face, the boy my mother put on that plane twenty years ago finally woke up.
They’re coming for her. All of them. Whatever family she ran from, whatever debt she’s carrying, whatever name she’s too scared to say out loud. Let them come. I spent my whole life being the one nobody looked at twice. They’re about to wish they’d kept it that way.

REVIEW:SHATTER is the third instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC: PROSPECTS erotic, MC romance series set in the author’s RAIDERS OF VALHALLA MC world. This is prospect Hakon, and waitress Katie’s story line. SHATTER 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 trigger for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Hakon and Katie) SHATTER focuses on the rescue and protection of our story line heroine. Katie is a young woman on the run but her whereabouts have been discovered, and an attempted abduction finds our heroine under the protection of the Raiders of Valhalla MC but the executive members are not happy with events leading up to Katie’s arrival, and Hakon must come to terms with his refusal to follow orders. As the MC begin a deep dive into what is happening and why, Katie’s secrets are about to be revealed with the arrival of her past, and the betrayal of the family she once loved.
The world building focuses on the hierarchy, rules and regulations of the Raiders of Valhalla MC, and a prospect who is struggling to protect a young woman with no one else. As Katie’s secrets are reveal, her lies begin to unravel, and the past demands everything in return.
The relationship between Hakon and Katie begins as a rescue but both Hakon and Katie are keeping secrets about their lives and their pasts. Betrayal has broken our story line heroine but Hakon is all too well aware of his own betrayal, years before. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters including many of whom we met in the interconnected series and previous instalments. We are introduced to Katie’s co-workers, her brother Pierce, and the people determined to control our story line heroine.
SHATTER is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics, friendships, and love. The character driven premise is emotional, vivid and dark; the romance is protective; the characters are desperate, tenacious and charismatic.
