About Samson by Marteeka Karland
Title: Samson
Author: Marteeka Karland
Series: Black Reign MC #6
Genre: Contemporary MC Romance
Charlotte: When I get into trouble, I go big. There was so much pain and fear, I turned my thoughts inward. To Samson. He’s my knight in shining armor. The one man I’ve ever felt a real connection to. Then he was there, killing those who hurt me and sweeping me up in his embrace of warmth and safety. But now he sees me as a victim. Not a woman. It’s up to me to prove I’m made of sterner stuff.
Samson: I had no intention of having sex with the little spitfire, but one look at Charlotte and I knew she was trouble. Our night was the kind of explosive a man can’t walk away from, but I tried. Right up until her daddy showed up telling me she was missing and the last person she was seen with was one of the prospects from Black Reign. Wrangler, the little asshole, had her squirreled away somewhere and I knew if I didn’t find her soon, I might never see her again.
Saving Charlotte from Wrangler will be a piece of cake — after this his days are numbered. Which leaves me with time. Too much time. Time Charlotte’s dad will have to convince her to leave me and come back home. So, how do I fight off another man determined to take my woman from me when that man is her daddy?

I adjusted the water while she sat there. Charlotte made no attempt to move or to take over her own care. She was probably overwhelmed and still in shock.
“Come on, baby,” I said. “You’ll feel better once you’re clean.”
“Not sure I’ll ever be clean again,” she whispered. Then her head snapped up. “But I didn’t let ‘em rape me.” She looked fierce as any warrior when she said this, shaking her head. “I didn’t. I fought ‘em.”
“I know you did,” I said. This was a delicate situation. I knew whatever happened in the next few minutes, the way I handled this situation, would set the tone of our relationship from here on out. “You were brave to do so. They could have killed you, Lottie.”
She nodded her head. “They wanted to. When I fought, I hurt more than one of them, but they weren’t as big as you.”
“Ain’t many people who are.”
“When I saw you. Coming down those steps. When you got close to me…” She shuddered, pulling the blanket tighter around her. “I didn’t give up. Exactly. But I knew there was no way I could fight you off.”
“But you still would have.” I made the statement firmly. Almost an order. “You did. With the pipe.”
She nodded at me. “Yes. I would have fought until I died. If they’d managed to tie me up — and they tried — I’d have still fought.” She looked up at me again, tears in her eyes. They weren’t tears of sorrow or shame. They were of a fierce pride. “I’m not weak!”
“No, Charlotte. You’re anything but weak.” I took one slow step toward her. Her tears were killing me, but I knew I couldn’t touch her unless she made the first move. “You’re a strong, capable, fierce, brave woman. You’d never stop fighting.”
“No. Not for myself. Not for my children.”
“Not for your family.”
“No. I’d never stop fighting for my family. Or my friends.” I nodded. “You know what that makes you, Charlotte?” When she shook her head and shrugged, I answered my own question. “That makes you the woman I want for my own.”
