Today, I have a suspense-filled, motorcycle club romance in our Teaser Tuesday spotlight! Learn about Sully from the Kiss of Death MC series and author Marteeka Karland! 

Book Title: Sully (Kiss of Death MC)

Motorcycle Club Romance, Suspense, Age Gap

Date Published: November 21, 2025

An ex-con biker. A wild heroine. One night isn’t nearly enough.

Sully -- Fresh out of prison, I’m done with chaos. Whiskey, silence, and my brothers in the Kiss of Death MC -- that’s all I want or need. Until Darby storms into Throttle. She’s sharp-tongued, fearless, and dangerous as hell. She stirs trouble like it’s an art form, and I should walk away. But when she looks at me, I feel alive for the first time in years. She’s the kind of trouble that could wreck me. And I want every second of it. 

Darby -- I don’t stick. Not to towns, not to people, sure as hell not to men. Stirring up chaos and disappearing before the fallout, that’s how I roll. Then Sully happens. A rough around the edges ex-con. All scars and quiet control. He should terrify me. Instead, he makes me want to stay. But staying means dragging him into the shadows I’ve been running from, and the men hunting me won’t stop until I’m gone for good. 

One night was supposed to be enough. Now neither of us can let go.

And the danger chasing me just found us both.

Warning: This book contains dark themes, adult relationships and language, violence, and situations some readers may find triggering. Intended for mature audiences only.
