In Rides Trouble

Becky "Rebel" Reichert runs a motorcycle shop that doubles as cover for an elite covert ops team, and she has no intention of being sidelined just because the men around her think she needs protecting. When a dangerous mission takes a wrong turn and she ends up in a hostage situation at sea, ex-SEAL Frank Knight faces a problem that no amount of combat training prepared him for: a fiercely independent woman he can't stop thinking about, in a situation he can't control. Julie Ann Walker's second Black Knights Inc. novel delivers sharp banter, high-stakes action, and a romance built on equal parts friction and respect.

Abby Craden brings Becky's defiant spirit to life with a voice that balances toughness and warmth, making her immediately compelling from the first scene. Craden handles the series' signature blend of humor and tension with natural timing, keeping the pacing brisk across the 8-plus hour runtime without losing the emotional beats. The action sequences land with urgency, and the chemistry between leads feels genuinely charged rather than manufactured.
