Now he laughs, “I think you ought to thank me.”
I stare at him, and slowly my lips start to turn up. The bastard might be right, but I’m not going to come out and admit it.
He knows, and snorts. “Now get out of my office, Van. I don’t want to see either of you until next week.” He waves his hand, showing me I’m dismissed.
I leave bemused and shaking my head. Outside Sean’s waiting for me, and now we’re heading off to get my stuff so I can move in with him. I have to pinch myself to make sure the last couple of weeks haven’t all been a dream as I take Mollie back into my arms. I seem to have got the man, and ended up with the baby.
And next week? Well, then we’ll both be starting new jobs. Working with the Devil.

SATAN’S DEVILS (a Blood Brothers spinoff)
Drummer
As President of the Satan’s Devils MC I can have every and any woman I choose, and do. That’s how I got my name. But I’m happy with the variety, I know I’d never find a woman my equal to be my ol’ lady.
Then I meet her, on the road to my compound, standing beside a goddamn Vincent Black Shadow, one of the most iconic bikes of all time. But when she tells me she’s Viper’s daughter, I know she has to be lying. There’s no way he’s fathered a child, not one of her age, it’s just not possible. I can’t deny an attraction to her, but she’s the one woman I’m unable to have, I can’t go against my brother.
Sam
Trouble, I’ve found, comes in many forms. Trouble in the shape of the surly president of this MC who just wants me gone. Trouble in that my father denies our relationship, and the trouble that’s followed me the fifteen hundred miles I’ve ridden to come to find him. And when my past catches up with me, I need the protection of the MC to keep me safe.

Acknowledgements
I’d like to thank all my readers for thinking so highly of the books in the Blood Brothers Series. I love this men and their women, and how their lives are entwined, and it’s fantastic to discover that you like them too. So know you have my appreciation, the fact that you buy and read my books, gives me the encouragement I need to continue.
Special thanks must go to my beta readers, the wonderful Alex and Pauline who beta read for me, and of course, Steve, who helped pick up inconsistencies.
Thanks Lia, Freeyourwords, for another amazing cover and for squeezing the formatting into your tight timetable.
This is the first time I’ve worked with editor Elizabeth Wright, and won’t be the last. I’ve enjoyed working with you, and your suggestions and word changes were really useful.
I can’t thank my husband enough for his ongoing support and encouragement, and my wonderful son must get a mention, even if it’s only because of how often he tells me he’s proud of his mum.

About the Author
After commuting for too many years to London working in various senior management roles, Manda Mellett left the rat race and now fulfils her dream and writes full time. She draws on her background in psychology, the experience of working in different disciplines and personal life experiences in her books.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of North Essex with her husband and two slightly nutty Irish Setters. Walking her dogs gives her the thinking time to come up with plots for her novels, and she often dictates ideas onto her phone on the move, while looking over her shoulder hoping no one is around to listen to her. Manda’s other main hobby is reading, and she devours as many books as she can.
Her biggest fan is her gay son (every mother should have one!). Her favourite pastime when he is home is the late night chatting sessions they enjoy, where no topic is taboo, and usually accompanied by a bottle of wine or two.
