Rebel Rage MC Rocker
Addy Archer - 2021
I fit many labels and have been called every name in the book by women who don’t get what they want; me. I couldn’t care less, I live by my own rules and take what I want.Things take a spin when a woman doesn’t worship the ground I walk on but instead flat out refuses me. The rocker life isn’t for everyone, neither is the biker life; good thing I thrive in both worlds and won’t back down for anything or anyone. Especially when it involves an intriguing woman. She might be on the run for a past filled with death and fear, but it holds no place in the future I have in mind for the both of us. If we still have one after the music fades, the lights come on, and the screams are silenced.
