Hellbound Hearts
(2026)(A book in the Royal Bastards MC, Montreal, Canada series)
A novel by Roux Cantrell
In the violent world of the Royal Bastards MC, trust is earned in blood—and betrayal never fades.
Church is an ex-con and nomad who survived prison by becoming harder, colder, untouchable. The scars he carries aren’t just carved into his skin—they’re buried deep in his soul. After being betrayed by the people he once trusted, he’s sworn off attachments. Feelings are weaknesses, and weaknesses get you killed.
Then Tamara shows up at the clubhouse.
She’s there for one reckless night of freedom, dragged to the party by her best friend to escape the ex who refuses to let her go. Being handed off to Church should make her nervous—but instead, he leaves her breathless and intrigued in all the right ways. When she returns home, her ex is waiting. The attack that follows leaves her hurt, shaken, and drowning in shame. All she wants is a few days to recover in silence… until one desperate phone call brings Church crashing back into her life.
Everything changes the moment he hears her voice.
The fear in Tamara unleashes something savage inside him. This isn’t about clearing his name anymore—it’s about hunting down the man who hurt her and making him pay. When Church arrives with the Montreal chapter to take her somewhere safe, protecting her becomes more than a promise—it becomes personal. And as the walls around his heart begin to crack, walking away from Tamara might be the one thing he can’t survive.
In a world ruled by loyalty and vengeance, Church must decide if he’s the man prison created… or the one Tamara believes he can be.
Genre: Romance
