Phoebe -- I’ve spent the past year suffering at the hands of the Sadistic Saints. They’ve done vile things to me, made my life a living nightmare. My only bright spot is my daughter, Ember. Until another club arrives. Kraken is different from any man I’ve ever met. He’s more than a decade older than me, but I don’t care. He makes me feel so many things, and I never want it to end. He said he’d take me with him, claim me as his own. I know the Sadistic Saints will never let me go, but I’ll risk it all to be with Kraken.
Kraken -- The Pres sent us to the Sadistic Saints for a deal, and I damn well knew s**t would go sideways. Never counted on finding a single mom trapped in a life she never asked for. Taking her with me means war, but there’s no way I’ll walk out of there without her. Phoebe is mine, so is her daughter, Ember, and I’ll protect them with my life. I didn’t become the Sergeant-at-Arms for my club by being a pushover. I’ll spill as much blood as I deem necessary to protect my family, but no one will take them from me.
WARNING: Kraken contains graphic sex and violence, bad language, and a young woman who has been physically and sexually abused. But there is no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
Praise for Kraken (Hades Abyss MC 4, Mississippi Chapter)
"Phoebe is such a strong character and she steals the reader’s heart... a realistic world where a person would want to become a member of a family when so many have no family of their own. I love the writing of Ms. Wylde and Kraken is another homerun; one I recommend no one miss with the warning that once you get started you will be hooked for life."
-- 5 Cups from Delane, Coffee Time Romance & More
"...they have great chemistry together. This book has a lot of twists and a few surprises that you won’t see coming. Although this book is a standalone, I would recommend reading the beginning of the series. I promise you won’t be disappointed."
-- 4 Stars from Seabee, Amazon Review
"...what a story it is! For as bad as her current situation is, Phoebe is still so sweet. Kraken is smitten with this pretty woman on sight. Once he hears her story, there is no way he isn't going to get her and her daughter out safe. I think Hades Abyss is becoming my new favorite MC, these guys are amazing! I am blown away every single time Ms Wylde gives us a new story. She is simply amazing! Ten stars for Phoebe and Kraken!"
-- 5 Stars from Leslee, Amazon Review
"This is age gap at its best! I have loved all of Harley Wylde's books so far and I just keep falling more in love each new book. Every book her stories just get better, more entertaining, more action, more plot twists! Kraken is amazing; he's a hot alpha, older, maybe slightly crazy but he is just what Phoebe and Ember need. You will not regret buying this book; it will entertain you from page 1 to the final page."
-- 5 Stars from Jess, Amazon Review
"I probably say this after reading one of Harley Wylde’s books but this is possibly my favorite 'so far'... man, did Kraken impress me. He’s not only a total alpha but he has the kindest soul. I loved that he saw Phoebe for who she truly was and not what her circumstances made her out to be. I genuinely enjoyed, adored, and loved every single second of this book."
-- 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Amazon Review
"Oh sigh, Kraken! You easily jumped in to my top 5 favorites! Which is NOT easy to do! It has everything you could want in a book... steamy hot alpha... a brave woman (because it takes one to put up with alpha males)...hope... love... a cute baby... and of course now I can’t wait for Titan's story. Thank you Harley for ALWAYS giving us the best book boyfriends!"
-- 5 Stars from Mrs.LittleLoves, Amazon Review
"Kraken's book contains updates about previous beloved characters in Harley's world. As usual, there are plot twists and interesting story lines for the future. Be prepared for anything when reading this book. It will keep you on the edge to figure out what is going on. Just when you think you've figured it out... SURPRISE!! I absolutely loved it! Hope you will as well. Another winner by this author. Just love her books. Always good characters and plots."
-- 5 Stars from C Roll, Amazon Review
"Kraken is so tragic and beautiful, emotional and heartbreaking. It's a story about survival, triumph and the strength of a woman who didn't think she had it in her, but, she survived things that most wouldn't and was more determined than she ever imagined she could be. [Kraken] gives her something she hasn't ever had, family, love, loyalty, devotion and so much more. This is definitely a story you don't want to miss!"
-- 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review
"The story flows beautifully and the love is real, emotions jump right off of the page. 5 star read I very much recommend. There is plenty of cutthroat action, and twists and turns to keep anyone entertained."
-- 5 Stars from Elizabeth, Amazon Review
"OMG I floved this book! I have read every Dixie Reaper, Devil’s Boneyards, Hades Abyss & Devil’s Fury book like 5x’s each. This by far is my favorite story. Kraken is a law unto himself and Phoebe is the girl he is going to save and claim as his own. Ember is going to have every brother wrapped around her finger and God help the man who comes to claim her! This story is worth reading because good comes from evil."
-- 5 Stars from Melissa T., Amazon Review
"I just can’t get enough of these characters! I know I say it with each book, but I am so in love with Kraken. The way he took in Phoebe and her daughter and just alpha made them his own...le sigh! This series is so hot! Keep ‘em coming Ms. Wylde please."
-- 5 Stars from Diana M., Amazon Review
"I could not put it down. I was completely sucked in and loved it. They had a lot to overcome and there were many surprises. Harley Wylde has done an amazing job. I can’t wait for more. I totally recommend everyone read this book."
-- 5 Stars from Gretchen C., Amazon Review

I left my room with Joe’s hand on my ass, and made my way to the main part of the clubhouse. I’d been right about the party getting out of control. Naked women paraded through the area, smashed bottles crunched under my feet, and smoke hung heavy in the air. I doubted they were smoking cigarettes, or at least not only that. Three men sat at the bar with colors from another club -- Hades Abyss MC was stitched on the rockers. I ran my hands down my short skirt and took a breath to steady my nerves. At least with Deuce and his crew, I knew what to expect. These guys were an unknown.
Then again, after surviving my first night here, I could live through anything.
“Get moving, whore,” Joe said, shoving me from behind.
I stumbled and made my way over to the bar. Deuce had his head thrown back, laughing his ass off at something they said. His eyes lit with an unholy fire as he saw me approaching. The smirk on his lips made my stomach flip and knot. It never meant anything good.
“Here she is, boys. The best I have to offer. The three of you are welcome to take her to the playroom, or just have your fun with her out here,” Deuce said. “The rest of us wouldn’t mind watching.”
I swallowed the knot in my throat and plastered a smile on my face. “Hi, I’m Phoebe.”
“She’ll treat you real good,” Deuce said. The look he cast my way clearly said there would be hell to pay if I didn’t. “She’ll do anything you want.”
The man closest to me turned and my breath caught at how striking he was. Handsome didn’t seem to do him justice. Ink covered his arms and peeked from the neck of his shirt. His beard wasn’t wild like Deuce’s but trimmed neatly and the perfect length. I scanned his cut and saw his name: Kraken -- Sgt at Arms. He blocked the others from my view and I wondered if they were officers too.
“They’re here for business,” Deuce said. “Why don’t you take them and show them all a good time?”
“No offense, but we don’t like sharing,” one of the others said. “If she’s your best, let Kraken have her.”
The biker stood and held out his hand. My palm slid against Kraken’s rougher one and shivers raked my spine. I’d never met anyone who looked at me the way he did. I could drown in his gaze. He led me down the hall and my heart slammed against my ribs. He drew me to a stop in the middle of the hallway and I wondered if he wanted to start here. Wouldn’t be the first time I’d been shoved to my knees or backed against the wall.
“Where’s your room?” he asked.
My… No. No, no, no. We couldn’t go in there. It felt like someone tightened their hand around my throat. My heart raced, and my knees nearly gave out.
“Not my room.”
He looked down at me, pinning me in place with his gaze. “You got something to hide?”
“I…”
His grip tightened on my hand and my eyes went wide as I sucked in a breath. Pain shot through my wrist and up my arm. I whimpered and he loosened his hold, but dragged me farther down the hallway. He stopped in front of the last three doors, eyeing each one. I dug in my heels when he opened the one to my room.
“No, we can’t… please!”
He yanked me into the room, but the moment he saw the crib in the corner, he froze. “What the fuck?”
“Please. I’ll do whatever you want, but not in here. Not near my baby.”
“Jesus fucking Christ. You look like a damn kid yourself and you have a baby? In a clubhouse?”
“You didn’t care a minute ago how young I look,” I said. I inwardly winced and wondered if he would hit me. Deuce had, and for much less. This guy was visiting the Sadistic Saints, and held rank in his club. Now wasn’t the time for me to be mouthy.
“I don’t fuck kids. I figured if you were out there on offer, you must be legal, but now I’m not so sure. Don’t know a single damn club who lets a whore keep a kid in her room. Start talking, girl. How old are you? Why the hell are you here?”
I sucked in a breath, wondering if I could trust him. He hadn’t tried to force himself on me, or demand I drop to my knees. It made him different from the men who’d come here before. I could be wrong. What if Deuce sent him here to gain my trust, see if I was loyal?
He moved in closer and tipped my chin up. “Baby girl, talk to me. You aren’t like the others, are you? Girls like you, especially with little babies, don’t live like this. You’re a pretty little thing, look sweet as sugar.”
I licked my lips and glanced away. “If Deuce walks by or sends someone else and they don’t hear us having sex, it won’t end well for me. Just… tell me what you like. I’ll do whatever you want.”
“You want to have sex?” he asked.
I gave a slight nod.
“Really? Want a good hard fucking?” He moved in closer, pressing against me.
I swallowed hard and waited. He reached for me, sliding his hand up under my skirt, wedging it between my thighs. He stroked my panties and I tried not to lock up or run.
“You’re not wet. Makes me think you don’t want me after all.”
“No! I… I’m sorry, I’ll do better.”
He backed me against the wall. “Again, start talking, pretty girl. Why are you here? Because I wasn’t patched in yesterday. You’re no fucking club whore.”
