You ever wonder how your life can change so drastically in a matter of minutes? I once thought that I had the best life. I was surrounded by friends who protected me, a mother who loved me with all she had, and all the happiness in the world. All of that changed the day my mom announced that she was getting married. To a member of the Inferno Demons motorcycle club. It wasn't that I didn't like the club, or my stepfather. In fact, I was the reason that they had met in the first place. It was what came after that shocked my world. I thought being step-siblings with one of the people I was closest to would be the best thing to ever happen to me, but it was the exact opposite. Overnight my life changed. My five biggest protectors and closest friends started shutting me out. I was ignored, forgotten, and pushed aside. But I never said a thing. I just took it all, hoping that things would go back to normal. Maybe they grew sick of me. Maybe I just didn't fit in with this biker lifestyle. I was growing accustomed to my new life, sort of, when things changed again. A father that I knew nothing about, haven't seen since I was too young to remember had suddenly popped into my life. He was a stranger. Granted, he tried to visit me while he fought my mom for custody of me. I wish I had known that he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning that custody battle. I was promised I'd get to come home to see my mom. I was promised that my being forced to leave wasn't the end. I was promised that two years would fly by, and I might even have a little fun. I was promised a lot of things. And all of them ended up empty. Nobody cared. Nobody checked on me. Nobody called, texted, visited. Not that they would have been allowed to. My sperm donor (as I like to call him), had lied. Straight threw his teeth. To all of us. Me, my mom, the judge, everyone. And he got away with it. For over a year I endured pain and abuse. I was beaten into submission. I was turned into someone that wasn't me. When I escaped the first time, I finally realized why no one had checked up on me. I thought that my mom would have been riddled with guilt, but... that wasn't the case. The lies my stepsister spread about me had gotten worse after I was forced to leave. Everyone took her side, including my mom. Of course, I was found again. Or rather, given back to avoid more drama. My own mother handed me back to the man who was responsible for the black eye I had, the welts on my back, the... nightmares that I had. She handed me over like I was an object, and that was when I realized that there was no hope left for me. That was the day that the first crack formed in my heart. Despite all that I had been through, I still thought I had people who loved me. I thought I had five protectors who were waiting for me, I thought I had a mother who would have given her life for me, I thought that I had somewhere safe to go. But it was all a lie. I had been looking at life through rose-colored glasses, and now they were officially off. That crack spread slowly, oh, so slowly, but it was there. It started. It was too late. I had officially given up, but not in the docile sense. No, if anything, I became more of a problem. And that was what I wanted; to be a problem for everyone. Until I met him. For once, the noise in my head was quiet, the pain in my chest eased the slightest, and for the briefest of moments, I felt safe. He made me realize that's what I had been craving. Safety. And he handed it to me on a silver platter. I should have chucked those rose-colored glasses the moment I took them off instead of holding onto them with the last sliver of hope I possessed. Maybe I would have saw the signs sooner. Maybe I would have picked up on the lies before that ring was on my finger. Maybe I could have avoided another disappointment in my life. But that would be too easy. That would be too nice. That would be... apparently, not what I deserve. However, I was not going down this time. I was done being made a fool. I was done being abused. I was done being forced. So, I took one last shot. Just one more. If I died because of it, so be it, but if I survived... If I could really get far enough away... I could live. I could really live. I could start over. I could be free. But freedom always comes at a cost. I should have known I would be caught. I shouldn't have let five years of freedom get to my head. I should have been more careful. Because now I'm found again, but this time it wasn't my sperm donor who had found me, or my husband, or my mother. It was Karma, the president of the Inferno's Demons MC, the boy who used to wipe my tears and bandaged me up when I scrapped my knees, and he looked pissed to see me. Why did Karma have to steal me away from my quiet life? Is he going to send me back to my sperm donor and husband? Does he know what I've been through? Do any of them even care? And why is he so pissed about a promise that they broke first?

TWO BOOKS IN ONE Book 1 (completed): Katy & Braydon Book 2 (completed): Justin & Allie It started as a lie, and now it feels way too real. Katy wanted revenge on her ex. Instead, she found herself moaning into his half-brother’s kiss. ~~~~~ Getting cheated on was humiliating. But getting laughed at by her ex when he swore she’d never find anyone better? That stung. So Katy fired back the only way she knew how: she promised she’ll find a man who would make him eat his words. Enter Braydon: Her ex’s estranged half-brother. He’s the campus golden boy, star of the hockey team and the one person her ex would absolutely hate to see her with. He needs Katy to tutor him through business classes. She needs Braydon’s mouth on hers, his hand on her thigh, and his very presence to prove her ex wrong. Their deal is simple: tutor for fake boyfriend. And it was supposed to be easy: no strings, no feelings, just practiced kisses and touches hot enough to make Bryan livid. But practicing being in love with him means sitting too close, letting him touch her like he owns her, and kissing him until her knees go weak. It means wanting the heat, and craving it until she can’t remember what’s fake anymore. She swore she wouldn’t get hurt again. He swore he doesn’t do love. So why does it feel so good to break every rule with him? BOOK 2 Allison Carter has been in a sexually abusive relationship for two years and somehow didn’t realize it. She’s smart, bold, and capable, but with her boyfriend, she had to use her body just to get his attention. When she finds out he cheated and shared her most private photos with his friends, she dumps and beats him up. One messy, not-so-drunk night later, Allie wakes up in the bed of the last person she should ever touch: her best friend’s brother, Justin Evans. He’s broody, dominant, a little violent on the ice, and insanely protective off it. He’s also shockingly, ridiculously good in bed. Allie has seen every side of the hockey star except the one that makes her toes curl and her heart forget how to beat. But when he confesses he’s wanted her for two years, she loses it. Traumatized, wary, and convinced he’s only after her body like the rest of them, Allie goes completely off the rails trying to make him stop. But Justin isn’t going anywhere, not even if she fries what’s left of his brain trying to push him away. ^^^^^^^ Justin Evans has a secret his teammates don’t know: the girls he kisses all the time? None of them make it to his bed. Why? Because the one person he actually wants, the one he can’t have is his sister’s best friend, Allison. She’s loud, dramatic, impossible, and exactly who he wants in every way. When she finally dumps her useless, cheating ex, Justin sees his chance. But he quickly realizes she’s more broken than he imagined, and if he wants her, he’ll have to teach her how to love herself first. And he’s not backing off—not even if she throws shoes at him, calls him an idiot, or tries every trick in the book to keep him away. What starts as a fight turns into a bond that’s undeniable. And when Allison finally lets him into her heart, a career-ending accident shakes everything, forcing Justin to decide if he loves himself enough to fight for them. And it may just be Allison’s turn to pull him out of the darkness.
"I’m not even a real wolf. I saw you in the window and thought my family would have told you. I… I’m so sorry.” I say as my chest begins to hurt and I can barely breathe. “You are a real wolf, though. It’s in your scent. My wolf is sure of it.” “I’m not, though. I don’t have a wolf. I’ve never shifted, I’m not built as muscular. If anything happens to me, I can’t save myself. I’ll just be a huge liability.” “No” he snaps at me and I can see a flash of anger in his eyes. “You are NOT a liability. You’re my mate. The Goddess made you for me.” “The Goddess didn’t make me for anyone, Seth. No one wants me.” I say as my voice begins to waiver. This isn’t going how I thought. I never dreamed I’d have to convince my mate I wasn’t good enough. But this man just keeps surprising me as he grabs me and pulls me onto his lap. “There are people who DO want you, Molly.

You’re different Molly, but that doesn’t mean you’re not enough and that you’re not wanted.” he tells me as he just holds me on his lap. "I want you."
