Hunter: The Biker Next Door


Joanna Blake - 2016
    One of the baddest bikers to ride the Pacific Coast Highway. But once I set my eyes on her, I'm ready to let my bike gather dust while I make her mine. When Callie moves back home after school, she's surprised to find her Grandmother on speaking terms with her new neighbor Hunter. Hunter is a biker, part of the local MC club and surely a criminal. When the city has an emergency power outage, Hunter is the one who is there to keep the women safe. A few hours in the dark proves Callie wrong about her bad boy neighbor when it turns out that there's more to him than meets the eye. To my readers I decided to write a series of short 'singles' in the vein of the full length novels that I normally write. Each novel can take up to two months to write- or longer. I have so many stories to tell and I finally realized that not all of them need to be novels. Some are perfectly sweet in a shorter, more compact form. Some of these characters may show up in other stories, or in their own extended versions. Either way, they were in a hurry to meet you so I let them. Much love. Joanna *Hunter is a short story with a guaranteed 'Happy For Now' and no cheating! It was previously released as The Biker Next Door and has been completely rewritten and expanded!*
