ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2024
A second chance may hurt worse the next time around…
Funny and vibrant Brenna “Raven” O’Brien has experienced her fair share of pain and loneliness. She’s always used humor to hide her true feelings of rejection and loss. Always the jokester, Brenna brings joy to those around her. Being needed in IT for the Devil’s Handmaidens gives her purpose and a sense of belonging. After being betrayed by the only man she’s ever loved, Raven guards her heart from pain at all cost.
But when she comes face to face with the man who destroyed her, everything changes…
Ash Sterling has loved Raven his entire life. He’d do anything to repair the broken shards of her heart. But Raven’s pain runs deep, and her pride won’t be crushed again. However, when her sister comes back into her life, and the Handmaiden’s realize more danger and darkness loom, Raven knows that Ash is the one man who can help her seek the justice her family needs. When boundaries blur and passion ignites, will the pain of the past subside for both of them to find a future together?

REVIEW:RAVEN is the sixth instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary adult DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-WOLF MONTANA dark, erotic, MC romantic suspense series-a spin off from the author’s GRIMM WOLVES series/ and interconnected with the multi-authored SALVATION SOCIETY series. . This is rancher Ash Sterling, and Brenna ‘Raven’ O’Brien’s story line. RAVEN can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and assault, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from several first person perspectives including Raven and Ash, RAVEN follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Years earlier, Ash destroyed Raven, leaving a heart broken woman in the process. Fast forward to present day, wherein, Ash is hoping for a second chance but all is not well in Timber-Wolf Montana, and the Sterling family will be caught in the middle of a war not of their making. The Thunder Cloud Knuckle Brotherhood is determined to take control of Timber-Wolf Montana, and taking aim at everyone involved with the Devil’s Handmaidens MC and the family owned Sterling ranch.
The world building continues to focus on the take down of the Thunder Cloud Knuckle Brotherhood, a group of sexist, racist and abusive men who are determined to take control. As Ash struggles to prove he is the man deserving of Raven O’Brien, someone else is targeting our story line heroine, as well as several members of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC.
Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and determined secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story line couples, as well as both Raven and Ash’s parents and siblings.
RAVEN is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, complex, gritty and dramatic; the romance is fated; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.
Heed the TWs-there are many and pervasive.

“Brenna, my life’s been shit since we broke up. The only thing I have is the ranch and even that is a pain in my ass most days. I did build a house, one I thought you’d like. Besides that, I live, breathe, and almost die for that ranch. I’ve not been a saint since we broke up, I’ll be honest, but I’ve never had another girlfriend or fiancée. Best I could call it was hookups when I needed, you know, some relief.”
I can feel my face getting hot and she’s looking at me, trying not to laugh at my discomfort.
“Go ahead and laugh. Not only was it far and few between, I’d drive into the city so it wasn’t someone from around here. Mom has been on me to try and find a bride to help me, but there’s only one woman I want as my bride. No, I won’t put any pressure on you, Brenna. I’m just trying to be honest and upfront. Now, I know you’ve had a really long day, I’ll get outta your hair. Maybe we can grab a bite to eat sometime. Your call. I’ll leave the ball in your court.”
