Lyric: I’m in so much trouble. My orders are to find the highest-ranking member of Salvation’s Bane or Black Reign MCs and sleep with him. Worm my way into his bed so I can feed information to Kiss of Death. Little did I know I would find the one man I could never forget -- the man who broke my heart six years ago and left me to fend for myself against a ruthless club who will break me the first chance they get.
Rycks: Lyric ran out on me six years ago. Not that I’d given her any reason to stay. The second I see her again, I want to punish her. She waltzes back into my life with an agenda I can’t figure out. When I do, the truth is as scary as it is infuriating. Lyric is my torment. She’s sent to me as bait in a bigger plan I can’t fathom. Mainly because I’m too distracted by what she reveals. Now I’m questioning my loyalties to both her and my mentor, El Diablo. She pulls at my need to protect at the same time she might just prove herself to be a traitor.
WARNING: Violence, explicit language, and adult situations. Rycks is the first book in the Black Reign series. While you can read Rycks as a stand-alone book, you may better understand the characters and situations if you have read books in the Bones MC and Salvation’s Bane MC series.
Praise for Rycks (Black Reign MC 1)
"Rycks is so hot and strong. Lyric surprised me, she's sweet and vulnerable... I didn't see her feisty fierce side coming, but when it did….she kicked butt and took names. The story was amazingly told. I felt connected to each character. I enjoyed the Banter between Rycks and Justice….they cracked me up."
-- 5 Stars from Tanya, Goodreads Review
"Oh boy, Rycks and Lyric were so explosive together."
-- 5 Stars from Jessica, Goodreads Review
"I LOVED RYCKS! This is my favorite book in all four series! I have waited impatiently for Rycks’ story. Lyric is his equal in all ways... I think this gives us more insight into Rycks’ and El Diablo which will probably be the best book ever because that woman will have to be as crazy as him!"
-- 5 Stars from Melissa, Goodreads Review
"Another great book in this series. Great characters and plot along with some suspense and action. As usual, this author writes a very enjoyable book. Always look forward to the next book."
-- 5 Stars from Carol Roll, Goodreads Review
"I'm so glad that Rycks got his own story. He is the embodiment of an Alpha man and it makes the story so much better. The story has everything grown mystery to surprises and does not disappoint. I highly recommend you picking this one up...one click awaaaaaaaay."
-- 5 Stars from DivasoftheSerengeti_Lioness, Goodreads Review
"I love the cover of this book... perfect model and attractive design! I also enjoyed the story and couldn't put it down until I finished. We get an introduction to Black Reign MC, their connection to Salvation's Bane, and the steamy HEA romance between Rycks and Lyric... I'm eager for the next stories to find out more about what's going on between all the MCs. It's going to be HUGE!"
-- 5 Stars from Dee_annad, BookBub Review
"Rycks and Lyric are epic in that Marteeka Karland way. There are always 2 sides to an argument or a situation and because neither of them know the other side they start this dance. I loved watching them find out each other sides and fallin in love despite all the issues they had."
-- 5 Stars from dragonwolf1995, BookBub Review
"This action packed MC kept me on the edge of my seat. Rycks and Lyric have a history and now they are reconnecting but there are secrets that may break them up again. When the dust clears will Rycks and Lyric finally get the closure that leads them to a happily ever after?"
-- 5 Stars from Raemje, BookBub Review
"A non-stop intense, suspenseful and thrilling roller coaster ride to go on. Rycks intrigued me and I wanted to know more about him and boy did his story pack a punch. Rycks and Lyric had some major hurdles to overcome but their connection was undeniable that nothing would stop these two from reuniting. This story pulled me in from the beginning, kept me enthralled, and left me smiling in the end. I cannot wait to see what comes next."
-- 5 Stars from DreaFernandez, BookBub Review
"Rycks is an absolute must read! It's the beautifully written age gap story of Rycks and Lyric. Their journey together is just loaded with surprises and chaos in the very best way. It doesn't take long for things to get hot and heavy with these two but when secrets start to spill it may not be as easy as they think for things to come together for them. This is a great fast paced, quick read."
-- 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review
"I wasn't sure sure what to expect with this new to me author, but I was blown away. I enjoyed the byplay between the main characters and secondary characters. I also like how the clubs ride the line of the law. There was a complex mixture of hardcore sex and violence with tenderness and kindness. The clubs seem to be very unselfish with their members and cruel to anyone trying to harm their "family." Overall, very good read. Highly recommend and am looking forward to the next in series, as well as picking up some for the earlier books in other series."
-- 5 Stars from Wanda, Amazon Review
"It’s a great read and I can’t wait for the next installment."
-- 5 Stars from Debra Harken, Amazon Review
"Honestly i can't get enough of these stories and Rycks certainly is a book not to be missed... I just love these sexy, action packed stories. They certainly are a must read for me, and I'm sure you will enjoy it as well."

If there was a benefit of Black Reign joining with Salvation’s Bane, it had to be Topaz. The girl could fucking suck dick like a Hoover vacuum cleaner. I might not indulge often, but at parties, I enjoyed watching all the hedonistic dancing and fucking from a distance. It was even more pleasant while getting sucked off.
Topaz always made herself available to me, though she wasn’t my first choice of girls. I rarely refused her, mostly because of that talented mouth. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed her blow jobs, it was a means to an end. Eventually, I’d let her take me over the edge. Sometimes, she pulled out, letting me come on her face. Other times, her tits. Recently, she’d started swallowing me down, and I knew it was time to move on. I was many things, few of them good, but I’d never led a woman on. Good as she was, I didn’t want Topaz. Not like that.
“See you’re makin’ yourself at home.” Thorn, the president of Salvation’s Bane, chuckled at me. “Enjoying the party?”
“Bane always throws a bitchin’ party,” I acknowledged. I sat with Topaz kneeling before me. My arms were thrown over the back of the loveseat, resting as I watched her. Sometimes I watched her swallowing me -- which was erotic as hell. Other times I watched the people in the room. Rarely was there a woman who wasn’t topless or walking around naked. Some of them were in various stages of sex with one or more men. As parties went, this was decent.
“Any word on our rat problem?”
“Making progress. I gave Ripper the latest when I got here. He’s going through it now.” Topaz looked up at me, all wide-eyed as she sucked my cock. It would be easy to just lean my head back and let her take over, but I had shit to tell Thorn. “Got some really good tips. Someone unwilling to risk coming to us directly, so he says, but so far the information has panned out. I think this lead is legit.”
“Any idea who your informant is?”
“No, but he says he’s close to finding the mole. I believe he’s working both sides, or at least has an in to Kiss of Death. He knows too many details.”
“Good. We’ve got more than one being watched already. One I’m pretty sure is working for drugs. The other is still up in the air with means and motive.”
“I take it the opportunity’s there?”
“Many times over.”
I glanced down at Topaz. “Fuck, that feels good,” I muttered. She grinned around my cock and worked all the harder on me. Her fingers dug into my thighs as she took as much of me down her throat as she could. I felt her muscles working around my member, trying to milk me of my cum.
“We’ll meet later in the night, Rycks. Let Ripper work over the information you have, and he can give us a full report.”
“Sounds like a plan,” I bit out. I was seriously close to the edge and wanted to hold off. Felt too fucking good to stop now. “Give Lucy my best. I know the pregnancy has been hard on her. If she needs anything I can help with, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Thorn grunted at me. The offer was genuine, but Thorn would never take me up on it unless it was life or death and no one else could help him. He wouldn’t pass it on to Lucy either. At least, not the offer. I didn’t take it personally. We might be loose allies currently, but we were still an outside club, and alliances could change.
When Thorn moved on, I let my gaze quarter the room. Sex everywhere I looked. Even one BDSM scene was happening. The crack of a whip on skin followed by a decidedly feminine cry was sexy as fuck. I thought about asking Topaz if she’d let me scene with her, but it would only have been a halfhearted attempt. She just wasn’t the girl for me.
So why wasn’t I out there looking for my own woman? Or at least a woman I could spend some quality time with? One I could safely fuck every night and not worry about her getting emotionally attached?
That put a damper on my erection. I didn’t go soft, but it took the edge off. I wasn’t out there looking for a woman because women never stayed in my life. They found someone else. Or they died. While I couldn’t lay blame on the former, the latter was my own damned fault. If I couldn’t protect my own woman, I didn’t deserve one.
I took my gaze from Topaz’s face for a split second and something caught my eye. There was a woman. No. It couldn’t be. She watched us with wide, dark eyes. Like she’d never seen people fucking before. Being at a party like this, she had to be part of one club or the other, or a close friend of a member. I knew she wasn’t as innocent as she seemed, because I’d had her already. Six years ago. The sex had been the most explosive of my life. She’d only been eighteen at the time, but I hadn’t scared her with my appetites. I’d been with her two days before she disappeared. Those two days had changed my fucking life.
