From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

ABBY:
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.
The problem is: it’s not my baby.
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus.
He and I butted heads.
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.
Gradually, he learned to trust me.
He even became protective.
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.
I was falling in love with him.
But my time here had a limit.
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.
 
SIG:
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would be the ones to raise it.
Against my better judgment, I agreed.
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long dead…
I most certainly wouldn’t fall in love with the surrogate.

Mammoth:
As the V.P. for the Tonopah RBMC, I make it my job to protect the club, its secrets, and my pres, Grim.
I'm his right-hand man and the one he trusts above all others.
I take pride in my organizational skills and ability to wrangle my brothers, keeping things uncomplicated for Grim.
Everything is just how I want it.
Until I find a single mom and her young son broken down on the side of the road.
Rowen Casey and little Jacob are in trouble and need a protector.
I'm the best man for the job. I just have to convince Rowen.
But taking on this role and getting close to the single mom and her sweet son awakens a deep, primitive need inside me.
I don't just want to keep Rowen and Jacob safe. I have to make them mine.
And if I need to slash through every obstacle and threat, including the vicious threads of her past, I will.
The Reaper has claimed Rowen and no one is standing in our way.

Infinitely Mine can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed when read in order since ongoing storylines and characters appear throughout and overlap. There are steamy scenes, biker slang, violence, dark content, a paranormal REAPER twist, and, of course, an HEA. You'll find a single, determined mom and a possessive, alpha, six-foot-seven protector who finally meets his match.

This is the seventeenth book in this series. I think they should be read in order. I was so excited to finally get Mammoth’s book. Mammoth is the V.P. of the club and the right hand of Grim the Prez. On the way home one day he finds a mother, Rowan and son, Jacob broke down on the side of the road. The mother is passed out and the son is special. It takes one look for Mammoth and his reaper to know these two are his. Rowen and Jacob are in on the run and in danger. Jacob is a special boy and knows things. He makes drawings to let others know what he sees. Will Mammoth be able to protect Rowan and Jacob. This book was a fantastic action packed read. I can’t wait to see how Jacob grows up and how his gift plays out. I love this series and can’t wait for the next book. I love these characters more with every book. Fantastic job Nikki.

This is the second book in the series. I think they should be read in order. Troy is the ex-husband of Emma from the first book and Lizzie is her sister. Lizzie and Troy have been dancing around each other for a while now. Lizzie has always been interested in Troy. First as a friend and then as she got older and more than a friend. Troy knew Lizzie was interested in him but he also knew she needed to live her life first. He was too old for her when she first came to him at 18. Now how long will they be able to fight what they are feeling for each other. How will Emma feel. Emma and Troy had the friendliest divorce ever but that doesn’t mean she wants him with her sister. How will TJ feel about it. His dad and his aunt, together? Then there is everyone in the small town they live in. This book was a great read. I love how Troy is grounded but Lizzie is kinda crazy. They are perfect together. They balance each other out so much. Emma just wants them both to be happy. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I am loving reading about all the different people in this small town. Fantastic job ladies.
