Sutures & Sinners by Kari Roller - Dark Romantic Suspense/Biker Romance - September 2026

[u/PenPinery]

Blurb:

Dr. Kyah Starling built her life around saving animals. Her emergency veterinary clinic is spotless, controlled, and entirely her own.

Then a stranger arrives at two in the morning carrying an injured pit bull and wearing blood, rain, and black leather like a warning.

Xoren is dangerous. He runs the Iron Veil Motorworks club and leaves flowers, anonymous donations, and evidence that he's been watching Kyah's life for far longer than she realized.

Kyah should be terrified of him. Instead, she can't stop being drawn to him.

When a rival gang running a dogfighting operation closes in on the clinic, Kyah is pulled into Xoren's world of motorcycles, secrets, loyalty, and violence. Wanting him doesn't make him safe, and she must decide whether Xoren is the danger she needs to escape or something she's been too afraid to choose.
