GABRIEL IS COMING TO CLAIM US BOTH.
He was my everything… and then he left.
But he’s back now.
And when he learns about our baby…
There will be hell to pay.
Once upon a time, he was my whole world.
But then he disappeared.
Without rhyme or reason.
Here one day ,gone the next.
Taking all my happiness with him.
Well, not quite all.
He did leave something behind:
His baby in my belly.
But he didn’t know. And I wasn’t in a hurry to track down the man who broke my heart.
I didn’t need him.
I still don’t.
My daughter and I will be just fine without him.
At least, that’s what I used to think.
But then Gabriel barges back into my life,
And I remember all the reasons I was with him in the first place.
He’s sexy. Dangerous. Dominant. Forbidden.
I want to resist him, to say no for good.
But if he discovers I lied about his daughter…
He’ll make me his all over again.
***
HE’S MY SAVIOR, MY DOWNFALL – AND THE FATHER OF MY BABY.
The hitman came fully loaded.
He saved me from the worst fate a woman can face…
Then took my body as the cost of my freedom.
Now, I’m carrying a killer’s baby.
My captors swore I’d never escape.
Then Chance blew through my prison door.
Guns blazing, he laid waste to the men who meant me harm.
Then his sights landed on me.
I wasn’t part of the plan.
But he isn’t going to leave a pretty, helpless girl behind.
Now, I’m chained to a hitman.
There’s lust in his eyes, a beast waiting to burst free.
He tries to hide it, to keep it caged.
But when that’s no longer possible, he shows me what it means to be truly owned.
Now, I’m pregnant with the baby of a stone cold killer.
There’s no future with Chance.
He won’t let that happen.
I can see the truth, though.
Deep within him, there’s a good man waiting to be released.
I just have to hope I can find it in time.
Before the hitman breaks me.
***
She always gets what she wants… so I got her pregnant.
The little biker princess is used to getting what she wants.
When your Daddy’s the president of the Carvers MC, that’s just life.
I was supposed to guard her, not take her for my own.
But I did it anyways. And now she’s got my baby in her belly.
They call me Butcher.
Partly because I’m handy with a knife.
Mostly, though, because I know how to handle my meat.
But my latest assignment for the Carvers MC is supposed to be strictly hands-off.
The boss’s daughter needs protection.
She’s a brat and a princess, but Daddy’s got a soft spot for her.
That’s where I come in.
I’m not supposed to let her out of my sight.
Should be easy, seeing as how she’s sexy as hell.
Slim hips just begging to be squeezed.
Long hair calling for me to yank it back and make her say my name.
She can see what she does to me.
What she awakens in me.
And it doesn’t take long before that fire is too much to resist.
But crossing the line might have consequences, for once.
Because we went too far…
And now Daddy’s little girl is pregnant.
***
I’M BREAKING ALL THE RULES TO MAKE HER MINE.
She thought she was safe.
Well, she thought wrong.
I don’t obey rules – I break them.
And I’m about to do the same thing to her.
Off limits.
Beyond my reach.
What a joke.
There’s nothing in this world I can’t have.
And this sweet little princess is no exception.
She thinks she can hide out in her little oasis?
That’s laughable at best.
Freedom comes at a price, and she’s gonna have to pay it.
With her lips.
With her moans.
With blood, sweat, and tears.
There’s a war going on outside.
But in here, I only want to hear three things:
“Yes, sir.”
“Please, sir.”
And her moans.
***
I’m finally on the straight and narrow. But this girl makes me want to start sinning all over again.
It’s hard to make an honest living in a dishonest world.
But I’ve finally found my way out.
I’m not going back into the shadows, not for anything…
Well, anything except for her.
I’m not denying that I’ve done bad things.
Plenty of them.
Enough to keep my nightmares stocked ‘til the day I die.
But that was the old me.
I’ve turned over a new leaf.
Blank slate, fresh start, as they say.
Selena is the perfect new girl for the perfect new life.
But the things I want to do to her are far from wholesome.
I want to strip away that librarian façade and find the bad girl underneath.
Yank her hair back, make her beg, hear her moan.
The problem is, she wants a goody two shoes, not a criminal like me.
Oh well.
So be it.
I’ll just have to show her how fun the dark side can be.
***
THIS CALL GIRL IS A TEMPTATION I CAN’T REFUSE.
There’s one unbreakable rule in my business:
Keep your hands off the merchandise.
I was sent to make sure she gets her job done.
But if this tension doesn’t stop, I might have to keep her for myself.
Neither of us wanted to end up here.
But life has a funny way of taking you where you least expect.
She’s a call girl.
I’m the muscle.
We’re both dealing with sh*t we don’t want to deal with.
Still, the only way to stay sane is to keep your head down and your mind on the job.
But how am I supposed to do that when she’s around?
Looking the way she does –
Sultry eyes, curvy body, that sassy smile that makes a man lose control?
Nothing could have prepared me for this.
I thought I was steel.
Unbreakable, unyielding.
But the longer we’re alone together,
The more I realize I’m no match for the beast within me.
And I’m about to let him out of his cage.
***
I’ll give her what she craves and take what I want
The devils left her shattered and broken.
She needed a savior, but what she got was a monster.
A monster who wants to hear her plead.
A monster who will make her scream
They stripped everything from her and took what little she had left.
She was left broken and hollow—with no-one else to turn to.
When I found out what the bastards did to her.
When I saw how the way they left her.
Something inside of me snapped.
She knew her share of monsters.
She knew men like me.
But I’ll be goddamned if I let her go.
Not before I tame her.
Not before I own her.
Not before I take what I want.
Again and again.
Until she’s mine.
***
She loves animals, but she's never met a beast like me.
She’s the kind of girl who shouldn’t get mixed up with someone like me.
But that was before I claimed her. Before I f*cked her until she was raw.
She had no choice when she stepped into my world.
And now this monster won’t let her go.
She was in her last year in vet school when she met me.
Good girls like her don’t fall for a monster like me.
But she didn’t fall for me.
I took her.
Now she’s in a world of trouble.
She’s about to learn what it’s like to be someone’s favorite possession.
Each time I put my hands on her.
Each time I pull her body into mine.
Each time I make her moan.
Make her tremble. Make her scream.
I’ll make sure she won’t forget that she’s mine.
***
I’M NOT HERE TO SAVE HER. I’M HERE TO MAKE HER SCREAM.
She was looking for a way out—a way to keep her head above the waters.
She had no idea it meant letting people do whatever they wanted.
To let them ruin her. To let them break her.
Strip her of her dignity and leave her a shattered, damaged mess.
She thought I might be the one who could save her.
She thought I’d be different from the rest.
She has no idea what I have planned for her.
She has no idea about the truth, but I’ll teach her.
From the moment I put the collar around her neck.
The moment I pin her to the bed.
The moment I whisper in her ear everything that I’m going to do.
She’ll know that I’m not here to save her.
I’m here to make her scream.
And I can’t wait to get started.
***
SHE SELLS ICE CREAM, BUT I’M GOING TO MAKE HER LICK A DIFFERENT KIND OF TREAT.
She sold ice cream out the back of a truck.
But I wasn’t interested in what she was selling.
I made her lick a different kind of treat.
And I’ll make sure she doesn’t miss a single drop.
She was looking to earn some extra cash driving that ice cream truck.
I needed a clever way to dump some of the hot cargo I was carrying.
She needed the money, and thought it’d be a one-time thing.
But I had different plans for her.
This wasn’t going to be an opportunity that I would pass up.
One look and I wanted her lips around a different kind of treat.
One look and I needed her on her hands and knees.
Lapping it up and not missing a single drop.
It was the perfect arrangement, as far as I was concerned.
Until the devils in my life came screaming after her.
Now, I’m the only one who can keep her safe.
I’m the only one who can call her mine.
***
NOBODY IS TAKING HER AWAY FROM ME
She was supposed to help me find the traitors in my club, not get caught up in my war.
She thinks I’m just another biker she shouldn’t trust—a monster and a brute.
But I’m the only one who can keep her safe.
Even if I have to tie her to my bed and never let her go.
She was good with numbers, and I needed someone to help me find the traitors in my club.
I was supposed to keep my hands off her.
But when I saw her, I knew that I had to have a taste.
One taste and I couldn’t get enough.
One taste and I needed her screaming my name.
She was supposed to stay out of my war.
But that was before the traitors came after her, and dragged her into it.
Now, I’m the only one who can keep her safe.
I don’t care if she thinks I’m a monster and a brute.
She’s mine, and nobody is going to take her from me.
Even if I have to pin her curves beneath me
Lash her to the bed, and never let her go.
***
HE MAY NOT BE MY KID, BUT I’M HIS FATHER.
All she ever wanted was to live a clean life free from danger.
All I wanted was to break her good girl act.
But neither of us could’ve expected things to end up like this…
Neither of us expected me to become the father her kid never had.
I was a savage who rode on the wrong side of the law.
Cara was the good girl who wanted to pull herself out of the hell she lived in.
The two of us were like gasoline and water.
One night was all I needed.
One night was all it took.
She lit a fire that nothing could put out.
Brought me into her home.
Opened herself up to me and let me take whatever I wanted.
However I wanted.
She thought that was the end of it.
She didn’t count on me becoming the father her son never had.
She didn’t count on me becoming the second chance she never got.
She’s spent her entire life being left behind.
But I’m the first person who won’t ever let her go.
***
THEY DESTROYED HER LIFE THAT NIGHT.
Took her, used her, and left her to die by the road.
I found her limping on the road with hollow eyes and refusing to talk.
I don’t do rescues—but she’s about to be my lone exception.
I was delivering a batch of MDMA for the Blacktop Blades MC when I found her by the side of the road.
She’d been through hell and back.
And once she finally opened up, once she let me know what the animals did to her.
Something inside of me snapped.
I promised myself I wasn’t going to get involved.
But she turned my life upside down, and now nothing will keep me back.
Nothing will keep me from her.
Especially not the same animals who took her.
They thought they could drag her back.
They thought they could steal her from me.
They have no idea who they’re messing with.
No idea what I’m capable of.
No idea the kind of war they just started.
The kind of war that I’ll finish.
***
SHE’S ABOUT TO MAKE ME BREAK MY ONE RULE
I swore off love, promised myself I’d never do commitments.
F*** them and leave them. That was my motto.
Until Chelsea.
When she comes running into my clubhouse—bruised, scared, and way too damn innocent for a place like this—I know exactly what she’s running away from.
I know the kind of man she’s running from:
The kind that takes their tiny d*** syndrome out on their women.
The kind who hide behind their badge and uniform.
The kind that I put into the ground on a daily basis.
One look and I know I’m going to break my one rule.
One look and I know there’s no way I’d let her go.
One look and I know I’m going to make her MINE.
