Social Constructionism Gender

Rachel Sinclair lost everything when a fraud conviction destroyed her life as a social worker. Five years later, she's reinvented herself as Raven Steele—a woman with a clean past and a dangerous mission. Her target: the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, a vicious criminal organization that operates with impunity while the system looks the other way. Using the forgotten murder of a small-time dealer as her cover story, Raven infiltrates the deadly world of motorcycle clubs. But her carefully laid plans collide with Jax Savage, the devastatingly dangerous president of the Savage Saints MC. Muscular, tattooed, and lethal, Jax has been waging his own war against the Diamondbacks since they murdered his younger brother. What starts as a tactical alliance quickly ignites into an attraction neither can resist. As Raven goes deeper undercover with the enemy, feeding intelligence to Jax while maintaining her cover, the line between duty and desire blurs. But in a world where trust is a weapon and love is a liability, their growing connection threatens to destroy everything they've worked for. When Raven's deception leads to a devastating blow against the Diamondbacks, she becomes the target of a deadly bounty. Forced to reveal her criminal past to the man she's falling for, she must decide if their connection is strong enough to survive the truth. With enemies closing in and a war erupting in the streets, Raven and Jax face an impossible choice: save themselves or save each other. In the savage world of motorcycle clubs, some hearts are worth fighting for—and some are worth dying for. *Content warning: Contains explicit language, violence, mature themes, and sexual content.

Su familia, egoísta y abusiva, que solo sabía aprovecharse de ella... ¡ya no los quería en su vida! Su prometido, David Peña, el mismo que acababa de pedirle matrimonio para luego involucrarse con su propia hermana, Lucía... ¡tampoco lo quería ya! Despojada de todo, por fin podía ser libre...

Tiempo después, cuando aquellos que la habían despreciado descubrieron su situación, uno tras otro, desesperados, le suplicaron llorando su perdón. Sus padres, con fingida dulzura: —Mi niña, tú siempre serás nuestra hija querida. Anda, regresa a casa con nosotros, ¿sí?

Un sujeto de semblante endurecido se interpuso. —Si alguien se atreve a molestar de nuevo a la señorita Ríos, le romperé las piernas. ... Tiempo después, ese caballero, una figura poderosa y casi inalcanzable, se arrodillaba ante ella. —Viva o muerta, Marisol, tú eres mía. Alonso Garza nunca se consideró a sí mismo una buena persona.

La poca ternura que poseía, estaba reservada por completo para ella.
