ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 1, 2026

She bet me she could break the wildest horse on the ranch. I should’ve known she’d break me instead.
Spur
I gave up bull riding when a two-thousand-pound monster shattered my leg and nearly killed me.
Now I break horses for the Shotgun Saints and keep my head down. Stay loyal to my Prez. Don’t touch what doesn’t belong to me.
Especially not Dakota—Phantom’s daughter, Sharp’s rodeo princess, and the woman I’ve been trying not to want for the last few years.
She was too young when I patched in. Jail bait wrapped in denim and daddy’s protection. So, I kept my distance, watched her climb the barrel racing circuit, and told myself she was off-limits.
Then she won regionals, got drunk on victory, and made a bet in front of the entire club: she’d break the meanest mustang on the ranch.

If she succeeded, I’d take her to nationals. Not as her protector—as her man.
I should’ve walked away, should’ve laughed it off.
Instead, I shook her hand and sealed both our fates.
Now she’s in my arena every day, working that wild horse, pushing boundaries, testing me with those challenging eyes and that smart mouth.

And when some psycho starts stalking her at rodeos—leaving threats, cutting her tack, getting too damn close—I know I’ll kill for her.

She might have thought our bet was fun, but I’m taking it literally.

Once she’s mine, she’s mine.

REVIEW: SPUR is the fourth instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult SHOTGUN SAINTS MC erotic MC romance series, a next generation spin off set in the author’s REAPER’S REJECTS world. This is thirty-five year old, MC Road Captain Cade ‘Spur’ Holloway, and club president’s daughter, twenty-five year old, Dakota Lyle’s story line. SPUR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Spur and Dakota) SPUR follows in the wake of threats against our story line heroine. For eight years, Spur and Dakota have danced around their attraction to one another but Dakota’s father, club president Harlan ‘Phantom’ Lyle declared Dakota off limits. Dakota is a barrel racer, a horse trainer and a woman who is determined to claim her man but Dakota has a stalker, and Phantom declares Spur guardian and protector of our story line heroine. As the MC begin a deep dive into the probabilities including someone they know, Spur senses a familiarity surrounding the clues, and the possibility of severe injuries pushes the MC to take matters into their hands.

The world building follows several pathways including the search for the person stalking our story line heroine, yet through it all, Dakota struggles with the disappearance of her mother, a woman who has caused too many problems for Phantom, and his growing family.

The relationship between Dakota and Spur has been building for close to eight years. On the night of his patching in, Spur spied our heroine, but Phantom’s warning sent Spur in another direction, wherein Spur and Dakota’s paths would cross for the next eight years. Everyone was aware of the attraction between our story line couple, everyone but the man in charge. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Banshee and Bex, Shadow and Grace, Shiver (reaper’s Rejects MC), as well as Phantom and his wife Marlena, and his daughters Presley and Grace.

SPUR is a story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and obsession, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 6, 2026

He’s been waiting in the shadows. Now he’s coming to collect.

Shadow

I’ve watched Grace for years.

Through every Sunday dinner at the ranch. Every club party where she smiled at men who weren’t me. Through her engagement to that piece of shit VP who thought he could take what was mine.

He learned different. Her brother put him in the ground, but I would have made it last longer. Would have carved my name into his corpse for touching her.

The president’s daughter is supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. Sacred.

But I see how she looks at me when her daddy’s not watching. Feel her pulse race when I get too close. Watch her squeeze those pretty thighs together when I work the ranch shirtless, knowing exactly what I’m doing to her.

Twenty years between us. Her father’s wrath. Her brother’s loyalty to a different club. None of it matters anymore.

I’m done being the good soldier. Done pretending I don’t dream about her underneath me, marked by my hands, screaming my name. Done acting like I’m not already ruined for anyone who isn’t Grace.

She thinks she knows darkness—she survived it once.

But I’m not here to protect her anymore. I’m here to consume her. To own every breath, every moan, every piece of her soul until she doesn’t know where she ends and I begin.

Her daddy trusts me to keep her safe.

He should have known better than to trust a sinner with his only saint.

REVIEW: SHADOW is the first instalment in Elizabeth Knox’s contemporary, adult SHOTGUN SAINTS MC romance series, a ranching MC; a next generation spin off set in the author’s REAPER’S REJECTS world. This is club enforcer forty-six year old, Shadow, and twenty-six year old, DVM Dr. Grace Dalton’s story line. Grace is the sister of Shiver (Siren’s Salvation: Reaper’s Rejects MC: 2nd Generation).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including SA (off page), there maybe triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grace and Shadow) SHADOW follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Grace is the daughter of Shotgun Saints MC president Phantom, and is off-limits by order of her father but approximately nine years earlier, Phantom ‘sold’ his daughter to a member of the Copperhead Kings, a man who would destroy our story line heroine. Fast forward to present day, Phantom has become Grace’s guardian and protector but the past refuses to let go, and Grace is once again a target of the Copperhead Kings. Shadow never expected to fall in love with our story line heroine but the heart wants what it cannot have. With the Copperhead Kings threatening war, Phantom, alone with the Shotgun Saints and the Reaper’s Rejects make plans to take down everyone involved.

The world building focuses on the threats against Grace. Grace is a pawn, purchased by the Copperhead Kings, and as such, they was our story line heroine but there is more to Grace’s story, and the Shotgun Saints MC refuse to back down or give in.

The relationship between Grace and Shadow is forbidden; a secret affair predicated upon years of dancing around one another but our couple want something more than friendship, and when Grace’s father discovers the truth, our couple will find themselves without a home, family or support. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Reaper’s Rejects MC.We are introduced to Shotgun Saints MC president Phantom, Banshee, Grace’s brother Shiver, sister Dakota, and mother Jolene, as well as treasurer Rogue. The requisite evil has many faces.

SHADOW is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and gritty; the characters are desperate and dynamic; the romance is limited but impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 13, 2026

He made a vow at her grave. Her best friend is about to break it.

Banshee
I haven’t taken off my wedding ring in five and a half years.
Haven’t slept through the night. Haven’t answered a phone call without my hands shaking. Haven’t let a woman close enough to touch the wreckage my wife left behind when she died on a rain-soaked highway with my name as the last word on her lips.
I had rules. The ring stays on. The walls stay up. The grief stays mine.
Then her best friend showed up.
Bex Dalton is everything Rose wasn’t—dark, rough, stubborn as hell, built like a woman who fights the world with her bare hands and wins. She came back to Sharp for Rose’s dying father, not for me. She made that real clear.
Doesn’t matter. I watch her anyway. Watch her bend steel and gentle my horses and stand her ground against men twice her size. Watch her grieve the same woman I grieve and pretend she’s not falling apart.
She was the reason Rose was on that road. I was the reason Rose was on that phone.
We’re both guilty. Both broken. Both starving for something we have no right to take from each other.
I’m going to take it anyway.
And the ring is coming off.
