ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 21, 2025

If only reality was a simple truth, and devils only existed in dark fairy tales.

What do you do when someone you love goes missing and the only lead you have is a notorious motorcycle gang known for stealing and selling off women?

In most cases, the authorities get called, a missing person’s report gets filed, an investigation ensues. Most people use these official channels to get word out, to keep themselves out of harm’s way, to keep hope that the loved one will be located, happy ending or otherwise.

But I am not most people. I don’t call authorities or file reports because an official investigation wouldn’t delve deep enough into evil to solve the mystery that is the disappearance of my sister.

An evil that runs so deep it’s impossible to know who is truly trustworthy, and who I can count on when the final showdown comes and I’m face-to-face with the demons that society pretends don’t exist.

So, having no other choice, I infiltrate an organization that would happily use me for sport for the rest of my miserable life. I target possible allies behind those enemy lines. I seek out the unsuspecting people who appear to have reasons to fight back against the very faction they work for, people who still have something to fight for.

People like Zion Cruz, Sargent at Arms and resident a-hole extraordinaire who historically has at least one conscientious bone in his body, and maybe even a secret or two that I can use against him. Because when I dive down into Hell, I’m taking them all with me.

My name is Vivian Jones. And I am a seeker of the dark.

REVIEW:☠️ Fated Mates meets vigilante supernaturals ☠️

A Devil Doesn’t Bargain is a dark, paranormal romance with hints of motorcycle chaos, fated mates and intense suspense. As a standalone novella, it can be read by itself without any attachments to the author’s other series.

Our story starts with Vivian, a strong and determined woman who loves her sister, a sister that is now missing. When most people have a family member or loved one missing, they reach out to the cops or maybe a private investigator, but not Vivian. Vivian knows there is more evil in this world than what most people see, this leads Vivian on a hunt to track down her sister on her own and nothing is going to stop her. Vivian enters the world of a cutthroat, ruthless motorcycle club and into the arms of Zion, the club’s Sargent at Arms. Their relationship is a morally gray dynamic filled with darkness and intrigue, their connection and chemistry may be hot, but Viv’s search for her sister takes front and center. As Viv’s quest for her sister unfolds, she uncovers more and more of the world that teems below the surface, one filled with demons, injustice and darkness.

I have to say, I was a little confused in parts of this book. There are POV’s where the characters seem to have parts of the story that haven’t been shared before, making it feel like parts of the book are missing. Overall I think the storyline is good, even with the parts that feel like they are missing. Viv is a kick-a** character and her relationship with Zion carried the book for sure. The MC was a nice touch and I do enjoy an obsessive/possessive alpha. I’ll be curious to see if anything branches off from this with other side characters, and if it does, I would still give it a read. The author is talented and I still enjoy her books.

MercyAnn Summers has been writing in one capacity or another for most of her life, but she didn’t publish her first novel until she was almost 200 years old. Now that she’s gotten used to pantsing her way through a storyline, she feels more confident in her ability to weave a decent plot with adequate humor and a decent amount of spice. She knows she’s not funny. It’s okay.

She lives in the frigid northeast, and she’s not super happy about it.
