ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 27, 2023

Twisted Brotherhood’s president, Grave Robber, is a man in mourning after the murder of his daughter and wife. He knows the culprit and will get his revenge. One thing he promised himself: never impregnate another woman.

His word is his vow. He’ll never break it.

Aubry Baldwin unexpectedly uncovers gossip about San Francisco’s assistant mayor that leads her straight to the Twisted Brotherhood MC. She’s only there for a story until she sees Grave Robber. The club president is intimidating, enticing, and oh so sexy. He’s got all the charm and charisma of a badass biker and none of the sweet tenderness a girl like her should desire.

Months after a drunken one-night-stand, Grave Robber finds himself at a crossroads–Aubry is pregnant and he is screwed.

Now, the very man who murdered his wife and child is after Aubry. Grave Robber will keep her safe, but he can’t get attached. Aubry’s a good girl. She deserves someone better.

Can Grave Robber protect his baby mama or will he lose another person he loves?

REVIEW:GRAVE ROBBER is the first instalment in Skye McNeil’s contemporary, adult TWISTED BROTHERHOOD MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Twisted Brotherhood MC president Rhett ‘Grave Robber’ Carter, and journalist Aubrey Baldwin’s story line.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Grave Robber and Aubrey) GRAVE ROBBER follows Aubrey Baldwin as she digs for information about a dirty politician but Aubrey never expected to come face to face with the Twister Brotherhood MC, a group of men possibly on the take with the assistant mayor Joseph Yates but all is not as it seems when Aubrey will discovers Yates’ ties to the MC are deadly and dark. Enter MC president Grave Robber Carter, the man with whom Aubrey will fall in love. What ensues is the building but reluctant relationship between Aubrey and Grave Robber, and the potential fall-out as our heroine is targeted by the man who destroyed Grave Robber’s life.

The world building reveals the horrendous loss of Grave Robber’s wife and child, a loss he blames on a corrupt politician. Vowing never to ever again fall in love, Grave Robber is blindsided with the appearance of journalist Aubrey Baldwin, the woman who would break through the wall of ice surrounding his heart but Aubrey is about to push all of Grave Robber’s button, placing herself in the direct line of fire, at every opportunity

The relationship between Aubrey and Grave Robber begins as a one-night stand. Weeks later, Aubrey returns with unexpected and unwanted news, and finds herself a reluctant victim of Grave Robber’s ire. Grave Robber wants nothing to do with love or family-been there, lost that- but something about Aubrey draws Grave Robber in. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to several members of the Twisted Brotherhood MC, an MC of former US military veterans: Bone, Knuckles, Joker, LD, Huck and his old lady Lana; several members of the Redwood Rebels MC including Jules Gasparovich; assistant Mayor Joseph Yates, and Napa Valley millionaire Grant Lodge. The requisite evil has many faces.

GRAVE ROBBER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and revenge, power and control, acceptance and love, forgiveness and moving forward. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic but our heroine is often TSTL, placing herself and the members of the Twisted Brotherhood in a precarious position.
