“I was never scared of dying until I loved you.”
The shy single dad and the gentle assassin. Domestic bliss and a bloodthirsty revenge mission battle it out in the emotional fifth instalment of the bestselling Rebel Kings MC series.
Decoy
I met a dude in a bar once. Tall and strong, he had moon-blue eyes and tawny hair, and he moved with the grace of a lion.
It didn’t pan out, but that’s a theme in my life, and I’ve spent the last five years knowing that kind stranger dodged a bullet.
Divorced and miserable, I’m not exactly a catch.
But the thing is, that man…he’s not a stranger anymore.
And he’s as beautiful as I remember.
Everything you want in a fake boyfriend, right?
Don’t ask me to explain that one. But let me tell you this: I thought my biggest fear was losing my daughter. Then Folk came home, and I realised you can give your heart to more than one person.
We have a second chance. Goddamn, we deserve it.
But this life, man. It’s a journey.
And there’s no guarantees we’ll both make it to the end.
Reluctant Renegade is an MM/gay biker/MC romance. Content warnings for everything you’d expect in a sizzling biker romance, in addition to divorce/custody stress, addiction, and mental health rep.

Edge-of-my-seat action and danger!
Garrett Leigh’s writing just about kills me – in the best way. Reluctant Renegade is full of action and suspense, danger and death, but it’s also full of love – lots of different kinds of love. There’s the family love that Decoy has for his daughter, and the love between all of the Rebel Kings brothers, and the love between Decoy and Folk.
Every story in this series has pretty much blown me away. I wouldn’t normally read a motorcycle club (MC) romance but I’m a huge fan of Garrett Leigh’s writing and I’m so glad that I didn’t pass this series up.
Decoy loves his daughter, Ivy, more than anything but his ex-wife is determined to make his life hell. I can’t believe the horrible things she did to Decoy but I loved how this situation got resolved!
Decoy and Folk had a moment five years ago and now they are pretending to be boyfriends to help Decoy in his battle for custody of Ivy. The Rebel King’s brothers who helped engineer this had a feeling that it would end up becoming real and boy did it ever.
There are several reviews written on Goodreads that are better than anything I can write myself. As a favorite audiobook performer would say “words are hard” and I’m having difficulty writing a meaningful review. I loved this book and just want to savor this story and let it settle for a while.
I can’t wait to read Unholy Trinity: Locke, Nash, & Orla. MMF romance was my gateway to MM and I know I’m going to love this story.
