A warm welcome to authors K.A Merikan joining us today here at Love Bytes
Welcome Kat & Agnes 🙂
Grim finally got a story of his own! He was actually the first character created for the Sex & Mayhem series but was far kept in the background, occasionally appearing as a side character. But whenever Grim appeared on the pages, he meant business. We first introduced him as a person mentioned by Tooth in The Devil’s Ride, but the character soon started living a life of his own in our heads. While his “screen time” has been scarce so far, we created a whole backstory for him and with time, we knew we needed to dedicate a full-length novel to this badass assassin.
Those who read the previous Sex& Mayhem books know him as the man the Coffin Nails MC calls when things start getting out of hand. Ruthless in battle and shameless about his sexuality, Grim is much more than his infamous… well, eggplant 😉
The book is available on AMAZON
Themes: Outlaw motorcycle club, organized crime, assassin, chase, disability (amputee), devotee, revenge, redemption, kidnapping, road trip, fear, hurt/comfort, past abuse
Genre: M/M dark erotic romance, thriller
Length: ~110,000 words (standalone novel)
— When life gives you blood, make mayhem. —
Grim. Assassin. Leather-clad sex god. Has the most unusual taste in men.
Misha. Mutilated. Afraid. Will never trust again.
Grim is a bloodthirsty killer, and he owns it. Gay in a world of outlaw bikers, he firmly stands his ground if anyone dares to cross him. He takes pleasure in showing homophobes their place and fucking his way through a life of carnage.
But there is a part of him always aching for something he cannot get. When by chance he saves the most perfect guy he’s ever met, he is not about to let him go. Even if it means he needs to smother his broken bird.
When a masked, bloodstained man rescues Misha from captivity, he doesn’t know if he should thank the menacing stranger or stab him and run. Grim is not the kind of man who takes no for an answer, and Misha might now be in more danger than when he was trapped as a sex slave.
Misha cannot deny though that Grim is as alluring as he is frightening, and once Misha realizes what power his body holds over Grim, he understands that taming the beast of a man could be within his reach.
But any possibility of a future together is like a house of cards when Zero, the sadistic crime lord who destroyed Misha’s life, sets out to get him back.
Will the ruthless biker assassin at Misha’s side be enough to conquer the monsters from his past?

The sex left Misha utterly confused. He couldn’t deny it’d been enjoyable. Grim was an amazing kisser, and even as they lay side by side in the dark room, Misha could still feel the burn of his captor’s lips and teeth on his skin. The blowjob had been out of this world. It had actually gotten him off and hadn’t been just for the pleasure of his partner. As dubious as Misha was, he couldn’t deny that Grim had been trying to make him feel good, and he hadn’t even demanded anything in return yet. Grim had jerked off that amazing cock while sucking on Misha’s lips as if they were the sweetest ice cream.
Still, Misha hadn’t wanted any of it, and neither the orgasm nor all the caresses he received could make that right. Shame crept up his chest as he lay next to Grim’s warm, very naked body. It settled on his ribcage like a demon intent on choking the life out of Misha once he fell asleep.
But as dreams refused to come, Misha tried not to think about the big cock touching his thigh. He felt uneasy. The hotel room was much bigger than his tiny place in Gary’s apartment, but all the empty space made him oddly anxious. It made him wonder how he could ever cope with freedom again. Still, if being free meant not experiencing the fears he had lived with for the last few years, he would do anything to untangle himself from the new set of greedy clutches that held him close.
Once Misha was sure Grim was asleep, he reached under the pillow and squeezed his hand over the cool metal of the fork. It felt so alien in his grasp, a weapon that he’d brought here with a homicidal intent. All he needed to do was to stab Grim the right way. He would be free then, even if homeless and penniless. Grim’s relaxed breaths against Misha’s shoulder were suffocating him like a plastic bag tied around his head and made his skin break out in gooseflesh.
He squeezed the fork in his sweaty palm, afraid that the drumming in his chest was loud enough to wake Grim up, and who knew what this man would do then? With a ray of artificial light coming in from between the blinds, Misha watched the veins on Grim’s neck, trying to work out which one to target. His vision was becoming a blur from the panic over what he was about to do. Even if Misha didn’t manage to kill Grim, taking care of the wound would be Grim’s priority, and so he wouldn’t chase Misha right away.
He raised himself on his arm and took a deep, shaky breath, tracing the air with the fork to work out the trajectory he needed for the assault. He was not a slave. He was Mikhail Andreyev, and he would have a life after this, even if no normal man were to want him in his bed.
Misha put all his strength into the swift stab, but the fork never reached its target. Grim’s thick forearm blocked Misha’s, and in a surreal moment, their eyes met. Misha let out a scream as his mind went into overdrive.
He’d been discovered.
K.A. Merikan is the pen name for Kat and Agnes Merikan, a team of writers, who are mistaken for sisters with surprising regularity. Kat’s the mean sergeant and survival specialist of the duo, never hesitating to kick Agnes’s ass when she’s slacking off. Her memory works like an easy-access catalogue, which allows her to keep up with both book details and social media. Also works as the emergency GPS. Agnes is the Merikan nitpicker, usually found busy with formatting and research. Her attention tends to be scattered, and despite pushing thirty, she needs to apply makeup to buy alcohol. Self-proclaimed queen of the roads.
They love the weird and wonderful, stepping out of the box, and bending stereotypes both in life and books. When you pick up a Merikan book, there’s one thing you can be sure of – it will be full of surprises.

Love your books–got it w/Kindle Unlimited. Ever since Tooth mentioned the gay biker they called when they needed somebody dead, I was intrigued. Once he was given a name–“Grim”, a distinct twisted persona, and an “eggplant”, I’ve been eagerly awaiting his story. Thanks for another great book.
I love this series. I would love the chance to win this so thank you.
Wow, that excerpt has me all nervous on the inside. Definitely want to read this one!
