When a man suddenly loses interest in women, even if there are plenty female hangarounds eager for his attention, it is not something that will go unnoticed. The small biker club is like a family, and so everyone is under close scrutiny. But no matter how hard they try and how strong their love is, the fear of being discovered is always somewhere in the back of their minds.

They aren’t sure how a gay relationship is supposed to work, and they only have a vague understanding of sex between men, overshadowed by stereotypes that they will need to challenge. None of them ever had any experience with gay men, and being raised in a very patriarchal environment casts a shadow on their budding relationship. Jed, on the other hand, is aggressive and reckless, always in trouble, and always on the radar of his helicopter brother 😉 Ryder is calmer, more focused on the greater good and prepared to make tough decisions. They are both very masculine, but they express it in different ways. Ryder and Jed are not only brothers in arms, they were also both raised by Ryder’s father, which makes them stepbrothers, but a taboo relationship like theirs becomes even more difficult in a homophobic environment.

This new book on the other hand will explore the love between two bikers from the same club.

So far, one of the characters was either related to a biker (Lucky in The Devil’s Ride ), gravitating to the club because of business (Zak in Road of No Return and Jason in Bare-knuckle Love ), or just a guy who happened to fall for an MC member (Loki in Red Hot and Luca in No Matter What ). One Step Too Close is our sixth M/M biker-themed book, but as we talked about all of them one thing became clear: in none of our earlier novels did both the MCs belong to a biker club.
