Dani Carr Dragon Drillers MC Series Cover Reveal and Giveaway

 


Dark desires, secrets and fiery passions crash together for a thrilling ride in the Dragon Drillers MC trilogy.

 

Backstabbed and Bitchslapped

Dragon Drillers MC Book 1

by Dani Carr

Genre: Reverse Harem MC Romance 


I often wonder why some people have all the luck while others have none.

I found out the hard way that I was in the second category.

When my husband dies of an overdose while banging my best friend, a long list of unfortunate events unravels before me.

I believed I was leaving behind all the devastation that tore my world to shreds. I was wrong.

When my beloved uncle left me a vast inheritance, it came just in time to help me make my escape. But nowhere in the paperwork did it mention anything about inheriting his enemies, too.

I’ve caught the eye of more than one local man, but I’m no longer interested in being tied down.

Little do they know, change is inevitable. These men will have to stay out of my way or learn to reap what they sow.

It may contain mention of rape, child abuse, and spousal abuse. Please do not read if these are things that could harm your mental state. Thank you.

Backhanded and Bloodthirsty

Dragon Drillers MC Book 2

 

I often wonder why nice guys finish last while scum wins the race of life.

I try to be a good person, a loving mother, an understanding partner. I did everything I was supposed to do.

But maybe selfishness overcame me

I’m living on my family’s farm with my amazing daughter. There are wonderful men in my life, and I get to do what I love every day.

Until I woke up in pain, my world crumbling around me.

I despise being weak, hate needing to lean on anyone. And I told myself I would never be that helpless woman again.

Those asshole bikers with their godlike superiority weren’t responsible for the crimes I laid at their feet. But they did too much damage to forgive or forget their indiscretions.

Dare I offer amnesty to those who have harmed me in the past?

Am I strong enough to survive if they turn on me a second time?

Backlash and Bloodshed

Dragon Drillers MC Book 3

  


I often wonder why there is so much evil in this world and why more than my fair share comes knocking at my door.

I’m forced to become someone I never knew I could be, but no one harms my family.

I’m lucky to have an entire motorcycle club, willing to do whatever it takes to help me destroy my enemies and I’m not afraid to let the Dragon Drillers do their worst.

Gone is the helpless damsel I used to be and if the men in my life can’t accept that…well, that is a them problem.
