Leather & Bones
(2026)(A book in the 31 Days of Trick or Treat Mobsters and Bikers series)
A novel by Elise Gedicke
Maddox ‘Bones’ Bane is a member of the Via Daemonia Motorcycle Club. After a training accident that nearly cost him both his legs, Bones has struggled for years to feel useful again. Just when he starts feeling better, he makes a morally questionable mistake that drags him down into a vortex of hatred, doubt, and revenge.
With her sister murdered and her brother-in-law in jail, Dinah Pratt now finds herself the guardian of her young nieces and nephew. Dinah has never turned down a challenge and is determined not to allow grief to destroy her family. What she does not plan on is Bones, a damaged soul with inked skin, haunted eyes, and a smile that promises wicked pleasure. However, when she learns about his past, she fears he isn’t just a bad boy, but a bad guy.
Through trials and blood, Bones is determined to prove he is not his reputation and that love has claimed another soul this Halloween.
