REBEL | The Devil’s Claim
Clara Merrick thought she understood the man she married.
Nikolai Sarkhel was supposed to be her husband, the heir of a powerful crime dynasty, a man who claimed he could never have children. So when he insisted on IVF using her own genetic material and a donor, Clara agreed… believing it was the only way to build the family they were denied.
But the truth shatters everything.
Nikolai was never infertile. He was never faithful either. Behind Clara’s back, he builds a life with her own sister and demands she terminate the child growing inside her. Broken, betrayed, and nearly destroyed in an underground clinic, Clara escapes with one desperate secret—her baby is still alive.
Fleeing her past, she vanishes into the remote silence of Montana, assuming a new identity… Isla Cross. There, she finds fragile safety in a sleepy town… and an even more dangerous man.
Rebel Montgomery is a tattooed biker feared by everyone who crosses him. Cold, dominant, untouchable and unknowingly, the man assigned to dismantle the very criminal empire Clara was born into.
As obsession turns into attachment, Clara dares to believe she might be safe again. But the past doesn’t stay buried.
Nikolai comes hunting her. Secrets unravel. Betrayals multiply. And Rebel is revealed to be something far more dangerous than a biker, an undercover strike commander hiding in plain sight.
When lies collide and loyalties fracture, Clara is forced to choose between the man who destroyed her first life…
and the man who might destroy her second.
But in a world ruled by power, blood, and obsession…
love is never the safe choice.
It is the deadliest one.
