The Cassie Norman Series
CASSIE NORMAN
I meet an FBI agent at Fifth House Brew and knew I want to ruin his man bun and his self-control. But I fought off those feelings, but I'm not dating. I don't have time.
I'm lead counsel for Norman Scientific Corp. I negotiate hostile takeovers before breakfast. My life is measured in depositions and contracts, not danger and deception.
When FBI Agent William Kross proposes the night before going undercover into The Claxton Kings MC. And suddenly I'm not just a corporate lawyer anymore.
I'm the woman caught between two worlds: the boardroom where I dismantle corporations, and an MC clubhouse where power is measured in blood. Between protecting my family's legacy and protecting the man I love. Between staying silent about secrets that could end his life or speaking up and watching him walk into hell anyway.
So I stop choosing. I follow him in. Stand beside him as old lady to a VP in a world that should terrify me. Learn that sometimes the only way to win is to play by their rules while never forgetting mine.
Because William might be undercover, but I'm the one who taught myself to survive in rooms full of men who underestimate me. And this time? They're about to learn what happens when a Norman woman decides you're the problem.
WILLIAM KROSS
I meet Cassie Norman at Fifth House Brew and know she's the kind of dangerous I can't afford. Smart enough to see through every lie I've ever told. Beautiful enough to make me forget why I built a career on compartmentalization and control.
I propose because I can't live without her. The night before I become Ryder Kross again. The heir apparent to The Claxton Kings MC. Born and raised. "Live Free. Live Bold."
I'm FBI. Trained to infiltrate, to deceive, to destroy criminal organizations from the inside. The Claxton Kings was supposed to be simple: get back in, gather evidence, take them down. Except now the president is my brother. Chase Kross. The man I'm being sent to betray.
Now I'm three men fighting for control. William Kross, the federal agent whose career depends on completing this mission. Ryder Kross, the VP who earned his patch through blood and loyalty tests I can't unsee. Billy, the man who put a ring on her finger and promised to come home.
The lines blur. The violence feels easier. The criminal world starts making a sick kind of sense. And I'm terrified that the deepest cover isn't the identity I'm playing. It's the one I'm becoming.
So I make a choice that breaks every rule: I bring her in. Into TCK. Into the world where my brother still wants her and I'm the only thing standing between them.
Because the mission says destroy Chase. My oath says serve justice. But my heart says protect Cassie. And when all three demand the same thing? I'll become the monster they're afraid I already am.
Some kings are born, some are made, but love chooses its own throne
Caviar & Crimes: Pursuit
I don't do messy.
As lead counsel for my family's billion-dollar empire, I've mastered control—in the boardroom, in depositions, and especially when it comes to men. Not since Ryan taught me that love is just another word for lies wrapped in penthouse weekends and designer apologies.
Then William Kross walks into Fifth House Brew, my coffee shop, and I want to ruin his man bun.
FBI. Dangerous. The kind of honest that makes liars nervous. When he looks at me like I'm the only thing in the world worth protecting, I forget why I built these walls in the first place.
Two months. Late-night calls that turn into phone sex and stolen mornings that end with me on my kitchen counter screaming his name. He makes me feel worshipped and wrecked in equal measure.
He proposes the night before he goes deep undercover into The Claxton Kings motorcycle club.
Run by his brother. Chase Kross.
I can't prove Chase and Ryan are the same man. Not yet. But that phrase "Live Free. Live Bold" is the exact thing Ryan whispered against my skin when he thought I was his. When I didn't know he had a wife. Every instinct I've sharpened in courtrooms and contract negotiations is screaming the truth: the brother William is hunting is the one who destroyed me first.
Tell him and watch his career burn before it starts. Stay silent and let him walk into hell with my secrets between us.
Because loving William Ryder Kross means choosing between his mission and his heart.
If Chase and Ryan are the same man, I have a choice to make: let William destroy him, or destroy Chase myself first.
Caviar & Crimes: Protect
I'm supposed to infiltrate The Claxton Kings. Gather evidence. Take down my brother's criminal empire from the inside.
Simple. Clean. The kind of assignment I've trained for my entire career.
Then Cassie tells me the truth, and nothing is simple anymore.
I'm three men now. William Kross, the FBI agent who's supposed to complete this mission. Ryder Kross, the VP who earned his patch through blood and loyalty tests. Billy, the man who put a ring on her finger and promised to come home.
And none of them can keep her safe from Chase.
My brother. The president of TCK. The man I'm here to destroy.
He's also the ghost who shattered her before I ever knew her name. The married bastard who taught her not to trust. And now that I'm inside his world, I see it: he's still obsessed with her. Still hunting her. Still convinced she's his.
So I break every protocol I've ever followed and bring her into the clubhouse. Into TCK territory. Into the den of the very criminals I'm supposed to be taking down.
Because keeping her close means keeping her alive. Even if it means Chase sees her. Even if it means my cover gets tested every time she looks at me like I'm the only man who's ever made her feel safe and worshipped and completely ruined.
The mission says destroy my brother. My heart says protect my woman. And Ryder? Ryder's learning that sometimes the only way to win is to burn it all down.
I'll complete this assignment. But Cassie Norman walks out of this alive. Even if I have to kill Chase myself to make that happen.
Caviar & Crimes: Preserve
Chase was murdered. His ghost refuses to stay six feet under. Ryder wears the crown he never wanted as King of The Claxton Kings. I stand beside him, billionaire heiress turned old lady, learning that power in this world is measured in blood and loyalty, not courtrooms and contracts.
We survived the mission. We thought the hardest part was over.
We were wrong.
They're coming for us. All of them.
The FBI who thinks William went rogue. The Claxton Kings chapters who think he's weak. The shadows from our pasts who see us as unfinished business.
In Vegas, under neon and sin, we make our stand. No more hiding. No more separation. No more choosing between his mission and our love.
A meeting with Luciano Marchetta changes everything. And what is Vincent Winston doing here?
We've got tactical teams, criminal alliances and underground networks. And each other in hotel chapels where he makes me forget my own name and hotel suites where I remind him exactly who he's fighting for.
So we do what we do best: we fight. Without mercy.
They want to destroy us. They want to take everything we've built.
But we didn't survive hell just to burn in someone else's fire.
Try us, and we'll show you what happens when a king and his queen decide you're the problem.
We're Billy and Cassie Kross. And we're done playing by anyone's rules but our own.
