ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27, 2026

Never give up on second chances.

Cuckoo has always been a jokester. He’s the type of guy who sees humor in everything because, at one time, he never thought he’d ever laugh again. It began in tender years when he found an old trunk full of costumes. A Beggar’s Night filled with candy, secrets, and screams. Cuckoo can still hear the shrill sounds in his dreams.

And then there was her. His foster sister and the little angel he swore to protect. Cuckoo took those beatings for her. He lied for her. He gave up everything. . . for Katrina. And then she disappeared. A ghost in the darkness. He never saw her again. Twelve years later, Cuckoo still has all those costumes. He checks every corner and peers through every open door. Because he knows someday he’ll see his angel again.

He just never expects to collide with her while riding his Harley. Katrina isn’t the little girl from his childhood, but he isn’t the same boy either. They’re both trying to shove the past behind a locked door. But the funny thing about trauma? It never stays hidden. With Katrina’s life in danger and the clock ticking, Cuckoo must find a way to keep her safe and end the bastard threatening them both.

And this masked vigilante role? It’s one Cuckoo was born to play.

REVIEW:CUCKOO is the seventh instalment in Nikki Landis’ contemporary, adult DEVIL’S MURDER MC erotic, paranormal, MC romance series. This is twenty -eight year old, MC member Cuckoo aka Rain, and twenty-five year old Katrina Simmons’ story line. CUCKOO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. For followers of Nikki Landis, there is a slight crossover with the author’s GRAVEN BASTARDS MC: Tonopah NV series

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cuckoo and Katrina) CUCKOO follows the search for our story line heroine. Cuckoo aka Rain and Katrina grew up in the foster care system, where Rain would become Katrina’s guardian and protect but twelve years earlier, Katrina was adopted leaving Rain to struggle with what was left behind. Fast forward to present day, Rain, now known as Cuckoo was getting restless, and he and his ‘crow’ needed their mate. With the help of fellow MC brother Eagle Eye, Cuckoo will reconnect with our story line heroine, and their bond is instant but all is not well in Katrina’s life-she is a woman in hiding, from the people she believes destroyed her life.

The world building follows the search for, and rebuilding relationship between our story line couple. Raised together in foster care, Cuckoo became the target of the men taking aim at our story line heroine, yet, Katrina often found herself at the mercy of the worst kind of people, people willing to hurt young children and teens..

The relationship between Cuckoo and Katrina is one of second chances, of a sort. Katrina never forgot the boy who protected more than her heart; Cuckoo knew that our heroine is his fated mate but the past was refusing to let go, and the bitter memories and reminders were too hard to face alone. The $ex scene are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and dynamic. We are reintroduced to several members of the Devil’s Murder MC, bar owner Lucky Lou; tattooist Diablo, as well as a cameo from Rael, Graven Bastards MC, and Katrina’s adopted parents Trent and Sabrina.

CUCKOO is a quick read; a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, retribution and punishment, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited but passionate; the characters are determined and desperate.
