CROSS is a full-length, standalone first book in a steamy and suspenseful new MC Romance series – Devil’s Nightmare MC – by Lena Bourne. No Cliffhanger, HEA Guaranteed!CrossI’m the guy whose name brings fear into the hearts of even the hardest men. They call me Cross, because I’ve killed enough men to fill a cemetery, and I never saw any problem with that. Until a woman I hardly remember brought … a woman I hardly remember brought my eleven-year-old daughter that I didn’t know existed, to my doorstep and left her for me to take care of.
At first my daughter was a complication I didn’t need, but now I’ll do everything I can to raise her right. I’ll even stay away from her hot-as-sin guidance counselor Roxanne, who makes me feel like I’m twenty again, and not pushing forty. Which isn’t to say I wouldn’t show her what a real man can do with a woman like her.
Roxie
My father was the president of an outlaw MC, and until I turned twenty-one a world of bikers, mayhem and crime was all I knew. Then a rival gang destroyed it all, killed my family and everyone I held dear, and made me the property of a brutal, ruthless man. I ran away, got an education, and haven’t looked back.
Now I’m the guidance counselor at a small town junior high school, my old life so far behind me it might as well be someone else’s past, and I was happy to leave it there. But then I met Cross, the bad boy biker father of one of my wayward students. He makes me yearn for the life I lost, crave all the excitement that used to be my everyday. Makes me want to be a bad girl again, if only for one night.
But I won’t go down that road again. It doesn’t lead anywhere good.

Cross was the first book in the Devil’s Nightmare MC by Lena Bourne. It was a spin off from Bourne’s Viper’s Bite MC series; however, it was not necessary to have read the original series first.
Cross was the President of the Devil’s Nightmare MC. We met him in the last book of the Viper’s Bite MC series as a strong, powerful and ruthless leader. He also recently became a single dad to a pre-teen daughter, Lily, he never knew existed. Unknown to him, she had his personality, which meant he had frequent visits to her school. Enter Roxie.
Roxie was the new guidance counselor at Lily’s school and she saw herself in Lily and was determined to help her. It didn’t hurt that Lily’s father was sexy as sin and reminded her of the good parts from the tragic past she left behind six years ago.
No spoilers since all of that was in the book description; but then Bourne took us through the introduction, attraction, past revelations, MC conflicts, relationship development and surprise twists. It was suspenseful and entertaining.
I loved Roxie. She was fierce, strong, independent, sassy and sexy all wrapped into one. Cross was an alpha biker who was rough around the edges and didn’t instill the warm and fuzzies, pretty much what you’d expect.
Bourne also set the stage for the series by revealing the personalities of the MC brothers and what can be expected throughout the series. It was a fast and enjoyable read. The resident cook, Tank, is up next.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Wow what a book. Cross was hanging around the club when a lady drops a eleven year old girl his daughter he dI’d not know existed. Cross puts his daughter in school, she misbehave so she was sent to the councillor, Cross gets a phone call he was to have a meeting with the councillor in the morning. He meets Roxie the councillor the chemistry between them is intense so Cross took off quickly trying to keep his distance.

Something about a bad boy. Plus you get the aged to perfection bit as well and single dad. I loved the interactions between Roxie and Cross. And then with Lily as well. Was so happy about the outcome with the devils spawn. Yay for Ice and her family. Can’t wait for his book.
This was a story of romance and retribution combined with the mystery of Roxie’s past!

Roxie was a daughter of a MC Club’s President, but she left that world far behind when the club was attacked by a rival club and her father and brother murdered. She managed to escape and through hard work and determination was now a Guidance Officer in a Junior High. It was on her first day that she met a young girl who had been abandoned by her mother, and was having problems at school. Her father was Cross, President of the”Devil’s Nightmare MC Club,” and a difficult parent to deal with. Despite this, Roxie was determined to help the young girl continue her education, and arranged to meet with the girl’s father. The chemistry between them was explosive and intense and before long they were also lovers. I found this book addictive and as the romance between Cross and Roxie developed, so did my fascination with the story. Roxie missed hearing the sounds of the club bikes and the friendships of her former club members. She could understand the difficult time Cross experience as both a new father and club President. I admired his determination to protect his daughter and provide for her future. This book was not only a romance, but also a story of revenge and retribution, combined with the mystery of Roxie’s past.

New MC series for me and I couldn’t have been happier! I can’t wait to read the next one!
This is my first time reading anything from this reader, I liked the cover picture and the blurb, so I decided to read the book and I’m glad I did. This is a great story with lots of different characters, the main characters have great depth to them and are likable. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series and seeing how the rest of the MC grow and what their stories are. It’s a fantastic start to a new series.

Cross is book one of the Devil’s Nightmare MC series and a good start to the series. The characters are likable and the ending was good. Although I like the storyline and the characters this story kind of drug on at times. Otherwise, a good story and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
I have just one question… Why is it that I’ve never read a book from this author before?? This is a situation that I’ll have to rectify. Roxie’s family is killed by a rival MC. She gets as far away as possible and changes her life for the better, becoming a guidance counselor and certified social worker. Cross ends up with the daughter he never knew about. Lily’s not happy about her new situation, causing trouble at school. Roxie takes a personal interest in Lily; she’s been there before with her father’s MC. The relationship between Roxie and Lily is so shaky at first, but I love Roxie’s determination to not let her down. The banter and chemistry between Cross and Roxie is amazing, and she really gets under his skin. But when Cross brings her past right into the present, can he save her? Will she forgive him? This is my first read from this author, but not the last. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Not wise to mess with the Devil’s Nightmare MC
—>>> Cross has a lot going on his plate with a huge club restructuring and takeover of a weapons trafficking operation from the Viper’s Bite MC, never mind a prickly, pre-teen daughter who causes trouble at school, and a newly hired junior high school guidance counselor he just cannot keep his mind off, calling him at all hours demanding he step in to deal with his daughter. But there is much more to this sexy counselor who wants to make a difference with his daughter, that she may just understand more about his MC way life than he may realize. Good story and great HEA for all the characters!
This is a new to me author and I was not disappointed. I loved the characters and their story. You get the steam and suspense with this one.

Well worth reading!
Cross is the President of a motorcycle club. He has recently taken guardianship of his daughter, who he knew nothing about until she turned up on his doorstep.
Unfortunately for him, his Daughter, Lily, sees fit to play up at school. She is refusing to conform to the rules, but seeing as he was the same at her age, he has nothing to offer as a solution to rectify the situation.
Roxie has been running for the past six years, haunted by the ghosts of her past, she is constantly looking over her shoulder. She has just started a new position at a small town school as a counsellor & she is enjoying the freedom it allows her.
When Lily’s case falls on her desk, she knows how the little girls is feeling completely. She was once the daughter of an MC president too, so she can relate.
After taking no nonsense from Cross, who is drop-dead gorgeous, by the way, she talks him into allowing her to visit their “home” in order to see what life outside school is like for Lily. She doesn’t realise, until she arrives there, just how much she misses her old life. After changing her appearance & her name, she can only dream of living her old life once again.
What ensues is a Gripping love story to rival any. The twists & turns kept me turning the pages & I was absolutely hooked!
The HEA is to die for,, honestly! This us an eloquently written story to melt your heart!
Well done Lena. I need more & soon!

Reading an MC book is always entertaining. Cross and Roxie – what an unlikely but likely pair. One, the rather grumpy president of an MC and a new father to a twelve year old daughter. The other, a seemingly straightlaced student counselor with a rather large secret to keep hidden. Together, they make a combustible, steamy pair. However, is their chemistry enough to break through the barriers both have erected? Well, read Cross: Devil’s Nightmare MC and you will have your answer!
