He planned to use her as his ultimate revenge. He never planned on becoming obsessed with the one woman he was supposed to destroy.

Regan Fletcher once dreamed of a life filled with art, independence, and a future helping run her father's business.

But everything changed when her father's illness turned her world upside down.

Now she's trapped inside her family's mansion, isolated from the outside world under the excuse of being kept safe.

She's surrounded by luxury, but all she wants is freedom.

Then one night, she encounters a mysterious street biker who belongs to a world completely different from her own.

Rook Emberson.

Tattooed, dangerous, and fueled by a darkness Regan doesn't fully understand, Rook is exactly the kind of man she's been sheltered from her entire life.

And he's watching her.

What begins as an unsettling obsession quickly develops into an attraction neither can ignore.

But Rook isn't interested in Regan by accident.

He's been planning revenge against her father for years.

Cameron Fletcher took everything from Rook, and he's spent his life waiting for the perfect opportunity to make him pay.

When Regan unexpectedly enters his world, Rook sees the ultimate weapon.

Destroy the daughter. Destroy the father.

It's supposed to be simple.

Until Regan becomes more than a pawn in his twisted game.

Her innocence, passion, and desperate desire for freedom awaken something in Rook that threatens everything he's worked toward.

And the closer he gets to her, the harder it becomes to separate his need for vengeance from his growing obsession.

For Regan, Rook represents everything she's never been allowed to experience.

Danger.

Freedom.

Passion.

And a love that could cost her everything.

But when the truth behind Rook's intentions threatens to surface, their relationship becomes a dangerous battle between loyalty, betrayal, and desire.

Will Rook sacrifice the woman he's falling for to finally get his revenge—or will loving Regan become the one thing that destroys him?

Dark, addictive, and packed with explosive chemistry, Rook & Rebel delivers a high-heat revenge romance filled with tattooed bikers, dangerous secrets, obsessive attraction, witty banter, and a morally gray hero whose carefully planned vengeance becomes his greatest weakness.
