'Pippa.

'The girl you all know as damaged. Quiet. Broken.

'She doesn’t fit in. Nothing in her world feels right. She’s trapped in a spiral of darkness that seems to be consuming her day by day, until she sees nothing but an empty, black hole.

'Her world is a broken place she can’t escape.

'She has people around her who matter. Who love her. But it’s not enough. Not enough to break her out of the bitter despair she lives in.

'Until Tyke.

'He knows pain. He knows darkness. He’s sweet. He’s kind. But most of all…

'He understands her.

'Combining their demons doesn’t seem like the best plan. Everyone is against them. He deserves better. She deserves better. They’ll never work. They’re too broken. Too damaged. It’s a destructive combination that will only end in heartbreak.

'He’s a biker. She’s a broken angel.

'But in their desolation, they will find peace.

'With each other.'

'Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more. He became my best friend when I was Thirteen years old. From then on, we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak. But I always thought it was forever. Until his Father died and things went bad. Then suddenly, he disappeared.

'Ten years and I didn’t see or hear from him. Then came the call I’d be praying for– he was back in town. Only the man I remembered is not him. This man is quiet, deadly, and so incredibly beautiful. He also doesn’t remember me. He looks into my eyes, and he sees nothing. Nothing. So, I let him believe I’m just a girl that walked into his bar.'

'I met him in college, and I fell in love. It was a beautiful love, pure and perfect. Max quickly became everything I could have ever wanted. He was the jock, the popular guy, and I was just Belle. But he made me so much more. He gave me everything I could have ever wanted in life. But one night, one accident. It changed everything. The man I loved. The man I thought I knew…disappeared. I can’t tell you the exact moment he fell out of love with me. But he did. I wish I could tell you there was hope. That I hung on. That I fought. I wish I could tell you that we fixed it. That happily ever after was just out of our grips. It wasn’t. I ran. In the dead of the night, I packed my things and I left him.

'Five years later, I have returned. He’s still the same man I left behind. A deadly underground fighter for the House of Obsidian. He’s still dangerous. He’s still broken. I still love him. We’re both holding a secret, and that secret might just change everything. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I should have never left. Did I give up too easily?'

'You know how it went for me. You know what he did. You know the fire he left inside my soul when he crushed me into a thousand tiny pieces.

'Since Marcus, my life has been a blur of emptiness. Since Marcus there has been nothing. I’m alone, my Mom is dwindling and I feel nothing but emptiness. I work long, I work hard, but why? There’s no longer anything to fight for.

'I know I have to face him. I know I have to go back. To fix my life, I have to break my ties to him. Seeing Marcus again will destroy me, but it’s time to finish this. I don’t expect the bitter, twisted emotions I’ll feel when I see him again, and when I lose everything once more, because of him, the only thing on my mind is revenge.

'But how do you hurt someone you still love so deeply? How can I still care for a monster? How can he still make me feel? Our story is the most complicated of them all, it’s far from beautiful, it’s far from perfect, it’s just a twisted mess of emotion that neither of us knows how to fix.

'But we will fix it. You’ll see.'

'They say there's a fine line between love and hate.

'There is.

'I fell in love with a monster. He used me. He destroyed me. He made a fool out of me.

'I didn’t know it at the start. You never do. You think you have found the man of your dreams. You think nothing could break you apart. How wrong you are.

'I loved Marcus Tandem with everything that was me. To him, I was just a business deal, a way to keep something he’d worked hard for. He never had any intentions of returning my affections. He never wanted me in his life. But I wanted him in mine.

'When you fall in love with the devil, you expect to get burned. Marcus burned me. He consumed me. He devastated me.

'Somewhere inside, I knew he was no good. I just prayed having me in his life might be enough. I hold onto that small hope, that maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep down in his soul, he might love me too.

'Someday.'

'I met him before I knew. I loved him before I knew.

'I didn’t know that he was my stepbrother. I knew I had stepbrothers, but I didn’t know he was one of them. Now I know, I have to walk away. My mom, she deserves this happiness so much more than I do. If she ever knew…it would destroy her.

'You have to understand why.

'I saw my father die right in front of my tiny, eight year old eyes. He took my sister with him. All that’s left is my mother and I. She’s found her happy place, the only place she’s had since our worlds were destroyed.

'So you see, I can’t have him.

'I can’t want him.

'But there’s this problem with passion, and love, and destiny.

'It doesn’t give you a damned choice.'

'In darkness, we find danger. In danger, I find Beau.

'Ash is a prison guard, she's tough, she's strong and she never backs away from a fight. She takes her job seriously, she takes her training seriously, and everything in her life goes as planned. Until the day he is brought into the prison.

'She'll never forget meeting Beau 'Krypt' Dawson for the first time. He's a member of the Jokers' Wrath MC and it is said he killed an innocent family in the middle of a cafe, in cold blood. Deranged. Crazy. Psychotic. All those words describe the infamous Krypt, but Ash suspects there's far more to the quiet man than meets the eye. Secrets are being hidden by the club, information is being kept under wraps. Krypt is silent for a reason. Ash is desperate to know that reason.

'Continually fighting, Krypt is transferred to a high security prison. Ash is in charge. She's always prepared, always alert. Not even her skills will stop the club from ambushing them and taking back Krypt. Only Ash ends up right in the middle of it. They take her, too. Now she's stuck with a Motorcycle Club who are determined not to let her go. She's too much of a risk.

'Until the situation can be sorted, they send her and Krypt into the mountains together....alone. The dark, sexy, handsome biker will crawl into her soul and embed himself there. Changing her life forever. An epic, dangerous love will be built on the foundations of darkness.'

'Dimitri wants only one thing: revenge. His stepfather, Hendrix, has caused him nothing but pain and heartache. At last Dimitri can take something—someone—important to Hendrix and make him pay: Jess.

'Jess is feisty and strong headed. Her past haunts her and connects her to the dangerously dark Dimitri in an unexpected way. Dimitri keeps his secrets locked deep inside, and Jess is drawn to this broken man like no one before.

'With little to cling to besides their haunting pasts, both could have been doomed to lives spent raging against the darkness that holds them prisoner. Instead, it seems that as their pain draws them closer together, it is their desire and combustible passion that will set them free.'

'Love is never beautiful. It’s dirty, and raw, and broken. That’s what makes it perfect. It’s two broken pieces forming together to make something whole, something worth fighting for.

I’m the only one who can help him, and I won’t stop until I’ve got the truth. I want to fix what’s broken, but I can’t do that without him. So I’ll fight for my gorgeous, broken biker.
