TRS Tropes 2026~ Opposites Attract

Ryder by Jamie Targaet

Hounds of Hell MC 4

I’ve never been the settling type, but she’s in my heart. I’ll protect her from the Mafia or die trying.

Margot: I’ve loved Ryder since we were kids, but he’s never been the type to stick with anyone for long. Being a deputy sheriff means I see the world differently–by the law. He’s the opposite. The Mafia took my father from me. When they return to threaten everything I care about, including Ryder, I realize the line between right and wrong isn’t so clear. If we’re going to survive this, I’ll need Ryder’s strength. Maybe this time, we’ll face the danger together.

Ryder: I’m the guy who never sticks around. Commitment? Not for me. Margot’s been right in front of me for years. Now she’s all I see. When the Mafia comes after the Hounds, everything is at stake. Margot’s not just a deputy sheriff — she’s the woman I’ve always needed. Now, I’ll die before I let anything happen to her.

Warning: Ryder contains adult language, explicit sex, violence, torture, murder, and references to domestic violence. It also features a deadly alpha biker with a heart of gold and a possessive streak a mile wide.

Jamie Targaet

Jamie Targaet is the mind behind the Hounds of Hell MC and the Cottonmouth MC, two series from Changeling Press filled with dangerous men, fierce women, messy emotions, and the kind of heat that doesn’t apologize for a damn thing. Her stories blend gritty suspense, found family, obsession, and love that hits like a sledgehammer.

Jamie also dabbles in steamy fanfiction, and secretly plots horror stories when she’s not getting lost in a new romance arc. When she’s not writing, she’s usually with her family, enjoying one of the best years in horror films ever (2025), or stalking My Chemical Romance while she plans the next wild ride.

She loves connecting with readers—don’t be a stranger.
