Book excerpt: The only person who can touch him… is her. For Spenser Ingram love is an abstract concept. Friendless and fearless, he unhappily walks his own solo path. Encouraged by his parents to wield his cold-blooded ruthlessness like a weapon, the boy who never cried grew into a man who regularly makes others weep. Sent to deliver a message to a local motorcycle club that's standing in the way of his family's never-ending pursuit of power, he encounters Poppy Tennyson and is immediately captivated. For the first time in his life, Spenser wants something for himself. Unfortunately, a decades-long conspiracy is playing out behind the scenes, and he's quickly left questioning if his affection for Poppy is genuine or a carefully crafted illusion created by the one person he thought he could trust. The Dangerous Son is a romantic suspense novel set in a world where deception is the norm and the truth can't be trusted. It is the first book in the Coalition collection, a series of interconnected standalones featuring the Ingram-Greaves, Averell, Zidane, and Du Croix crime families. *Full-length 95,000 word novel, complete with a HEA, and can be read as a standalone* mafia, new world order, bratva, clan, rich, millionaire, royalty, aristocrat, espionage, stalker, abduction, gripping, dangerous, fast-paced, thriller, alpha, antihero, wealthy, nobility, new adult, politician, billionaire, kidnap, international, interracial, dark, baby, pregnancy, amnesia, trauma, therapy, outlaw, biker, MC, motorcycle club, contemporary, family, drama, assassin, teacher, the new holy trinity, religious themes, wedding, childhood abuse survivor, workplace, music, musician, mute hero, hero with touch phobia, hero who can't be touched, heroine with pain and force kink, kickass heroine, disabled hero, sunshine and grumpy, engagement, casino, doctor, hospital, sick child, Secret Billionaire, Friends to Lovers, Stuck Together, group therapy, Forbidden Love, Second Chance, Soul Mates, Fake Relationship, love triangle, menage
