ChainsHer smartass mouth and those baby blues had a lot to do with it. She made it apparent as hell she isn't scared to put us in our place. F*ck if that wasn't a turn on. I don't remember the exact time I started loving Leia. It just happened. Now she's approaching her twentieth birthday and it's getting harder everyday to resist her. So hard in fact that I stupidly slammed my lips against hers, and it made everything worse.She's now at the forefront of my mind, every night, and every day. Not only is she in my damn head, but everywhere I turn. Not that I'm complaining. I don't mind going around a corner and seeing the way her cheeks flush a rosy red at the mere sight of me. There's one problem, she's starting to look at me with hope in her eyes.The kiss alone was reason enough for my Prez, Riggs, to put a piece of lead through my skull. Why? 'Cause the Prez's sister is off limits.LeiaBeing the president's sister means I'm constantly being c*ck blocked. I mean, how many girls my age are still virgins at nineteen? Riggs is the classic older brother with his protective ways and how he's overbearing as hell. He knows my every move, sometimes even before I've made it. And if he isn't on my back, then one of his club members sure as hell is.That's where Chains comes into play. He's the club's Enforcer, and the man tasked to be my new bodyguard. He's ten years older than I am and takes his role way too seriously. Little does he know I'm ready to cut loose and shove his protection, as well as his club, right where the sun doesn't shine.I want a life, and I'm determined to get it.

BluAll I really wanna do is keep my head down and be the Enforcer for the Kings Reapers MC. The downside is they're heavily involved with the mafia, and fuck, I hate the mafia.Vinn Romano is an arrogant ass but it's his sister, Gianna, that really grates on me. Walking around like some entitled mafia princess and expecting men to fall at her feet just because of her bloodline. Fuck that, and fuck her if she thinks I'll be like the other men she's pushed around her entire life.I ain't like most men. I don't play games, and I don't want anything to do with the damn mafia. But things change when faces from the past turn up and start bringing my family into wars they've got no business starting.Now I'm forced to turn to a man I haven't needed since I was eighteen years old and make sacrifices to save her, because despite pushing her away, Gia has weaved her way deep into my heart.GiaI don't know what I ever did to upset Blu. Since the day he turned up at the Kings Reapers' clubhouse, he was rude. All I ever try to do is be nice, but it makes no difference. The man loathes me.When a series of events push us together, things begin to change between us. Maybe he realises I'm not the princess he seems to think I am. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and I'll do anything to help them, including marry the great Ricardo Donini, but it doesn't hurt to get to know Blu too.It's not like anything will ever happen between us . . . right?

LottieI spent months going from one biker club to another, desperately searching for a long-lost brother my mum abandoned. Turning up at the Kings Reapers MC was purely coincidence, but it worked out for the best cos meeting Lake put an end to my search.So why doesn't finding him, stop my pain?I'm a hot mess, that's how a social worker once described me, and poor Lake did nothing to deserve having me as a sister.Then, one day, I cave because the world becomes too much and who turns up to save me but Storm, newest member of the Kings Reapers. Running away from his own demons, the mysterious biker is too much. Too intense. Too hot. Too bossy. Too dangerous.So, of course, I'm attracted to him.StormLondon was a fresh start, that's how I sold it to my sister, Taya. Riggs needed more men, and I jumped at the chance to escape cos that's what I do, run.I swore I wouldn't get involved with any woman, especially not Lake's long-lost sister. Lottie is all kinds of messed up and she's a complication I don't fuckin' need.My priority is getting Taya and my son, Seb, settled. That is, until the day I have to collect Lottie from the hospital. Her eyes are screaming pain and they call out to me for help. Because if anyone knows pain, it's me.Separately, we're suffering . . . but together, we're toxic.But I know we met for a reason and I ain't letting her slip away from me. I can fix her, she can fix me, and then we'll live happily ever after, right?Right?

ACEMy club is my life. End of. I have my son beside me, my estranged daughter just reappeared, and I'm surrounded by good friends. Especially Mae, who's always there with a helpful ear.I'm content, and everything is exactly as I'd pictured it. The last thing I need is an ol' lady causing me grief and trying to tame me.My life is good. I'm complete. I'm happy.MAEThe MC is my life. It's all I've known and where I was raised, so I should be content. But life is . . . well, it's not quite how I'd pictured it. There's something missing. Ace.The club's President is fifteen years older, but that doesn't put me off. He's everything I've ever wanted. The problem is, he doesn't see me as anything other than his confidante, his friend, the one he talks to when things are going wrong. So, how do I tell him I'm in love with him?My life is empty. I'm incomplete. I'm so unhappy.

EvaThere is nothing wrong with believing in true love, right? Maybe I'm the type of woman who watches too many happily-ever-afters, but I want my prince charming. If I know one thing for sure, it's this -- I'm not going to find him sitting around at the Kings Reapers MC's clubhouse. Don't get me wrong, the men here are hotter than Hades, but they're more like Thor. Strong, overbearing, dominant, and demanding. Just the way I like them.There's only one person who isn't like the rest, their VP, Elijah Cree.The rudest, most arrogant man I've met in my entire life. He's a miserable person and on top of it, he hates me. He's told me I can't be around any of his brothers, bothered by the mere presence of me being here.I don't know what this guy's problem is, but he'd better get used to me since I'm not going anywhere. My best friend is his Pres' ol' lady.CreeThere's a reason I don't date, and I can't tell you the last time a woman caught my attention. That is, until Eva showed up.From the second I saw her something inside me changed. It's like my stone-cold heart thawed out just a little. I've told all my brother's she's off limits, and since she caught wind of that she's become a sassy little shit. She isn't afraid of me, and her temper proves that. Little does she know the way she acts tugs at my heart, and my lips.The woman makes me wanna smile, to let my guard down and give it a shot. I won't, though. 'Cause I won't f*ck up something so perfect. After she makes it apparent she won't be goin' anywhere, I start to contemplating goin' to battle with my inner demons. What harm could it do?I've already told my brother's none of them can touch her, and they'd better not. I'll rip their f*ckin' arms off if they even try.

SaraWhat's so wrong with being the fun party animal who likes to experiment, meet new people, and take guys home for one night stands?Well, not all the time, obviously. Meeting him was a game changer for me, in more ways than one. We both liked the same stuff, yah know, in the bedroom. It didn't hurt he was bloody gorgeous. Not my usual type, but with parents like mine, I have to stick to their rules. But Lake, he blew the damn rules right out the window and before I knew it, we were hooking up more often than actual couples in a relationship. I was honest, told him straight I wasn't looking for anything serious, cos I'm not that type of girl, but the universe had other plans.Now, I've got to grow up and take responsibility for the mess I caused. The mess we caused . . .LakeI landed on my feet when I met the female version of me. Sara was kinky, wild, and willing to do anything to annoy her stuck-up parents. It was a bonus that neither of us were looking for a relationship-straight up booty calls were our thing.hen came the bombshell, and I ain't talking the blonde kind. She doesn't expect anything and she's made it clear I'm not on her future plan, but since when did she get to make up the rules? It's not so easy to walk away now I know her secret.All I gotta do is convince her I'm not going anywhere. Not now, not ever . . .

What do you do when the one person you've loved since you were seventeen years old breaks your heart?Brook and Tanner have been a thing their entire adult lives and neither can live without the other. But when Tanner makes a terrible mistake, Brook decides it's time to live a life away from the club and away from Tanner.His betrayal runs deep, and when the woman who caused it all reveals she's giving Tanner the one thing Brook can't, it pushes Brook farther away. She surrounds herself with new friends, trying hard to move on from her husband and the club.But it's not as easy as she thought, and she takes comfort in the fact that Tanner is hanging back in the shadows, watching her every move and refusing to give up on them.Tanner doesn't remember the night he destroyed his life. The only evidence is the word of a woman who insists on hanging around the club, becoming a pain in his backside and a drain on his wallet.He doesn't know how to be anyone other than Brook's husband, and every breath he takes without her is painful. He refuses to give up on the love of his life, but to get her back, he needs to work out what exactly happened that night, even if it means dragging up his painful past.

AntonMy life's been mapped out for me since the day I was born.

And when Piper, the club's princess, stumbles into my strip club, drunk and heartbroken, I'm presented with an opportunity I can't turn down.My life is suddenly a lot more interesting.PiperI've loved Hulk since I was thirteen years old.

Anton forces his way into my life and begins pushing Hulk out.My life is suddenly a lot more complicated.

BladeI've never been a one-woman man! I'm not good at it. All my brothers in the MC are settling down and I'm not even looking for a woman of my own.Tillie comes into my life by chance. I call into her sweet shop every other day to get my liquorice fix, but it's complete coincidence that the woman I've been flirting with for weeks turns out to be an enemy's daughter.All I've got to do is stay the fuck away. Easy, right?Wrong!That ass left his daughter, Tillie, in danger and she don't even know it! How the hell do I walk away and leave her at the mercy of men who make me look like Prince fucking Charming?MatildaWhy am I such a bum magnet? You place a bad boy within thirty feet of me and I home in on him like a horny bitch in heat.

VinnHonouring my father's wish for me to marry his friend's daughter wasn't something I thought about until the day actually came for me to take Sofia as my wife. Her father assures me she's a good girl who'll give me no trouble. But from the moment I marry Sofia, I realise things aren't going to be simple.She's defiant, angry, and she challenges my every word. She blames the mafioso for deciding her fate and forcing this marriage on her, and I guess she's right, but it's too late, so she needs to suck it up and accept this is our life now.It's one thing to give me the run-around while ignoring my rules but another to cross me, and boy, does she cross me. Sofia takes revenge to another level . . . and I'll make sure she pays dearly for it. Sofia Challenging Vincent Romano wasn't regularly done until I came along. He's perplexed by my constant need to question him and my addiction to doing the exact opposite of what he says. I never was the type of girl to follow orders.London offers me so much more than Italy, and while I might be stuck in this ridiculous marriage with Vinn, that doesn't mean to say, I won't be following my dreams . . . even if it means I have to take down the great mafia boss.Ignoring the warnings from my cousin, I begin a hate campaign against my new husband, confident I won't be discovered. And even if he does work it out, what's he going to do, kill me? I'm his wife, for better or for worse. After all, he is the one who keeps reminding me that this is our life now.

ALBERTSomething about her sets my blood on fire. She's a wild cat with balls of steel. You cross Rosey, and she'll slit your throat while laughing about it. I know because I've seen her in action. But, damn, does she give me the run-around, and maybe that's part of the appeal. Then there's the side she doesn't show to anyone. The one where her eyes fill with pain and she becomes vulnerable.That's the side I want to know. That's the side I'm falling in love with.ROSEYHe thinks he's got me all figured out, and maybe he has, but there's no point in getting any ideas. We can never happen. Albert Taylor isn't the sort of man you can mess with and walk away from. So, why do I find myself constantly baiting him for a reaction? I'm addicted to playing games around him, and the weird thing is, he lets me. And I like that side of him.That's the side I want to see more of. That's the side I'm falling in love with.Can love break down even the strongest of walls? We're both about to find out.

MaverickLife has a funny way of pulling you in when you least expect it. It's been a few years since I was back at The Perished Riders MC clubhouse, and fuck, it's damn near the same. I don't know what I thought would happen in my time away. I left because my dad was stuck in the past, unable to move the club forward into the present day, so it shouldn't be surprising that the hell hole hasn't changed since I was a kid.It's also no surprise that now the miserable bastard is dead, there's not much left to salvage.But I've stepped up, just like my brothers wanted me to, and I'm making changes. I'm gonna run this place straight, the way it should have been ran all those years ago.But the dead have a funny way of leaving a legacy, and it ain't always good. Eagle's presence lingers like a fucking bad smell, and everywhere I turn, there's another mess he left behind.The road is calling me, and I'm beginning to think the club ain't worth it, but then life throws me a curveball in the form of Rylee Carter.RyleeDo you ever wonder when your life became this? Wake, eat, sleep, repeat . . . oh, and don't forget to throw in the odd beating. Marrying Grant Carter was not my finest moment, nor was becoming his prisoner. Slowly, he made me dependent solely on him, and now, I'm stuck here. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat.It's by chance that my new neighbour hears my cries calling to her from the pits of my own hell. Instead of ignoring me, she sends me a lifeline. One I grasp with both hands.Being rescued by The Perished Riders MC was just the beginning of my journey.Since Maverick came into my life, things aren't so mundane. He shows me just how strong I can be, and with him by my side, suddenly, everything seems possible.

DICEThere was only ever one woman for me, but I was forced to leave her behind when we were just kids.Years later, my past collides with my present, and it leads me right back to her. But a long time has passed, and she's had years of her father breathing poison in her ear.But I won't give up. After all, my birth name, Malachi, means 'prophet, messenger of God,' and I have a message to deliver, but it's not from the good Lord above.Astraea is mine, and I'm coming for her.ASTRAEAI remember him as a scrawny, messy-haired boy. Now, he's a fully grown, beast of a man with arms strong enough to save me from my hell.But leaving everything I've ever known is scarier than he thinks.As the namesake of Astraea, the virgin goddess, I was raised to believe they need me to bring justice, innocence and purity. They need me.But Dice comes for me, convincing me there's more to this life than what they've taught me.Just when I'm starting to see the world through his eyes, they find me.Dice was right, but now it's too late.I belong to The Circle, and they're not letting me go without a fight.

GracieBefore I was taken, my life was normal. I had parents who loved me, friends I'd have died for, and a boyfriend who doted on me. But one night changed it all, and for sixteen months, I've been missing, living in a hell created by the monsters who took me.When Scar finds me, I'm a shadow of who I used to be. His patience and dedication to keep me safe is apparent from the beginning, and honestly, I like it. I haven't felt this safe in a long time. But it soon becomes obvious that Scar's got his own issues. He keeps himself hidden away from the world, reluctant to speak let alone show his face.I want to help him the same way he's helped me . . . so why won't he trust me?ScarFrom the second I saw her lying on that church pew, looking vulnerable and sad, I was drawn to her. Something about the way she clung to me had me vowing to protect her.I can't begin to imagine the hell she's been through, but taking her back to The Perished Riders' clubhouse was the only solution. I knew my Pres could help-it's what he's vowed to do since taking over as the club's leader. But keeping Gracie so close is both a blessing and a curse. Yes, she's safe, but she's got a way of making me open up like I never have. She digs deep, uncovering scars and exposing my heart.Now, I have to trust she won't break it . . .

GrimWhen it comes to women, I like it simple. Hook-ups and short goodbyes are my thing. There's something about Meli, though, that keeps me coming back for more. She's carefree, exciting, and the Pres's sister, which means she's off-limits. But when she makes it clear we're not happening, it's Hadley, her twin, who reminds me not all love has to be dramatic and crazy. It can also be gentle, slow, and easy.Hadley's never been of interest to me, always too busy reading or studying. But lately, I'm noticing her more and more, and that's dangerous . . . for both of us.She doesn't realise the damage I could cause her. Because that's what I do-I'm Grim, reaping souls and casting them aside, leaving nothing but death and destruction. Hadley won't survive me. Hadley It's no secret that I've had a crush on Grim since I was a kid. I've longed for him to look at me the way he looks at my twin sister, Meli. The trouble is, she hates him, but I know how unrequited love feels, so I vow to support Grim as he deals with the rejection.Forcing myself to live a little, I put down my books and pack away my baggy sweaters in an attempt to get on Grim's radar. And just when I think about giving up, he finally sees me!I never knew true happiness could feel so amazing. Then, one day, it all falls down around us, leaving nothing but broken pieces and shattered hearts. I've never felt this kind of pain. Nothing will ever be the same again . . . for any of us.

NellyIt started as a favour. I needed him to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few family dates. Despite having worked the bar at The Perished Riders MC for a couple of years, I'd hardly ever spoken with Ghost, so he was less than pleased when the club's President forced him into helping me.But he shows up for me, something I'm not used to when it comes to relying on men. All my past mistakes involve let-downs or cheating liars, but it seems like Ghost is far from my usual type.He calls me out on my bull, and he builds me up when I'm feeling less than. Sometimes, I have to pinch myself to believe he's real and interested in me.I want to believe he's my forever, but I'm Nelly and 'mistake' is my middle name. Ghost'Biker' and 'trustworthy' don't go in the same sentence, but that's what I am. You treat me good, and I'll look after you. So, when my president asks me to help our barmaid out, I reluctantly agree. I don't know much about Nelly, but it soon becomes apparent she has low self-esteem and falls for the wrong type easily. Take her ex, for example-he's a married liar and yet she still lets him into her bed whenever he clicks his damn slimy fingers.Spending so much time with Nelly gets me thinking maybe she could be my happy ever after, my ol' lady. I want to settle down like the rest of my brothers, and Nelly's got just what I need with her gorgeous curves and a vulnerable side that calls to me. She needs protecting, and I need comforting.Our relationship moves fast, almost too fast, because when she messes everything up, I don't even see it coming.She once told me 'mistake' was her middle name . . . I should have believed her.
