Reaper’s Tell

PENELOPE

Everyone in Morrow County thinks I’m living a fairy tale.

I’m the beloved county judge’s wife. The dedicated schoolteacher. The woman with the beautiful home, perfect marriage, and bruises hidden beneath her sleeves.

Grant controls my money, tracks my car, and knows exactly where to touch me when he wants to make a threat look like an accident. But when an injured wrist sends me across the mountain to a free clinic run by the Grimm Reapers MC, the club’s quiet, battle-scarred medic sees straight through my lies.

Jesse Trace doesn’t pressure me. He doesn’t demand proof. He simply believes me—and gives me a way out.

Then Grant discovers my secret trips to Black Ridge.

He threatens my career, puts his hand around my throat, and reminds me that powerful men don’t surrender their possessions.

This time, I refuse to stay owned.

JESSE

I’ve spent my life reading the stories bodies tell.

Penelope’s says she’s terrified of the man waiting at home.

Every instinct I have demands that I drag her out of that house, but she’s had enough men making decisions for her. So I hold the door open, prepare a safe place, and wait for her to choose freedom.

While she quietly gathers documents, money, and evidence, my club uncovers something even more dangerous: her husband is using his political power to protect a criminal operation tied to our enemies.

Penelope isn’t only the wife Grant is determined to reclaim.

She’s the witness who could destroy him.

When she finally calls and whispers, I need help, I’m already moving. But getting her out is only the beginning. Grant is coming for her—with corrupt allies, hired guns, and the confidence of a man who has never faced consequences.

He’s about to learn what happens when he threatens a woman protected by the Grimm Reapers.

And I’m about to prove that loving Penelope doesn’t mean claiming her.

It means standing beside her while she takes back everything he stole.
