I can't run from my past, no matter how hard I try. Charlee I knew the second I'd arrived back in Portland he'd know I was here within days, so it wasn't a shock to me that he came knocking on my door, literally. Kaden was my first love, but he isn't the same man anymore. These days he goes by another name, Kinetic, one he was given when he went overseas. Now he's in a biker club and living a totally different life. Hell, I roll my eyes thinking about it. I came back here to take care of my elderly mother because she just had a full hip replacement, but I didn't come alone. So much has changed over the last decade and as soon as I saw him, everything came rushing back. Will I be able to get out of Portland unscathed, or is Kinetic going to weasel his way into my heart like Kaden did? Kinetic Years ago, I enlisted in the Marines and thought my life was going just the way I planned. Had the girl and the career I always wanted. We were kids, just starting our lives and had so much to look forward to. I had it all figured out, but the kicker is it never happened. I've lived the last twelve years mainly overseas working alongside my brothers. Men who I'd laid down my life for. Coming home we started the Deathstalkers MC and I never looked back. Now I'm standing on the front porch of Charlee's mom's house, glaring down at her as she holds onto the one thing she knew I always wanted. My kid. Decisions have to be made and something's going to give. Either way she'll be mine again.

Kinetic

I found her beaten, broken, and abused . . . and I want her. Cedric She was bleeding out behind a dumpster and somehow, for some reason, fate must've wanted me to find her before it was too late. Even though blood was covering her face, I could see past the grime, see the beauty lying underneath. I didn't know anything about Arwen, but one thing I did know is what was done to her was unacceptable. I did the only thing I could. I took her to Finley and told her we'd have no choice but protect her. I think Finley knew back then something was different about Arwen and the way I looked at her, but none of us had any clue what was coming our way. We had no idea about the war coming, or that our own would be hurt while keeping Arwen safe. We didn't have a clue, and I sure as fuck didn't have any idea how hard I'd fall for her.

Cedric's Ecstasy

Izzy For as long as I can remember, I've only felt one thing - pain. It consumes every part of me and I just want it to end. Enough has happened over the years and I'm ready to make it all stop. The night I lay out my plan and am fully prepared to end my life - he stops me. His act is simple, offering me his hand but in that, he gave me so much hope. While Twister may have won the battle, he didn't win the war. My demons are a constant nuisance and I'm left wondering, will I survive and finally find peace? Or did I make the biggest mistake in my life accepting his help?

Twister's Survival

Thorn I told her when we first met that we couldn't be more than friends with benefits. It was a great idea until she ghosted me. That's when the puzzle pieces fit together and I realized she had more than just my dick in knots about her. The girl claimed my heart through and through. No one would tell me shit about her, or at least, they didn't until shit hit the fan. Today is another story. Today she's back and I'll fight to prove she's mine, even if I have to face the devil himself in order to save her.

Hellhounds Sacrifice 

Tombstone

My entire life, I’d never believed in second chances. They’re bullshit if you ask me. Then again, maybe I wrote them off as crap because I didn’t think I deserve one.

I lost my wife a long time ago. All in all, I failed her. She was mine to protect and I couldn’t even do that right.

Over time I got used to being on my own. Better yet, it was easier. I didn’t need anyone in my life. Hell, it was safer to be on my own. No one else would get hurt this way.

Then I saw her. Sure, I shrugged her off at first, but she didn’t give up on me. As much as I pushed her away, she kept finding ways to tell me I was worth of love. But as things heated up between us, danger came knocking on my door, and then I couldn’t find her.

I didn’t know where she was, but I need to get to her fast.

Can I break out of my shell and prove myself? There's only one way to find out.

Arwen's Rapture

Frozen in heart to others, can he be that way with me? Blake My life is turned upside down. Or maybe right-side up. I'm not sure, but either way, it's in the hands of a man I just met. A man I feel a connection to and decide to give him my trust. Maybe the fact he's friends with my brother helps. Danger surrounds us all, and I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to handle what's coming. When things get tough, I've always been one to shut down. Though with him, it's different. He might be frosty toward everyone else, but with me, he's nothing of the sort. I'll stay by his side to keep him close. I don't want anyone else's kiss, not after I've felt what it's like with the man they call Frozen.

Frozen Kiss

I saw her for the first time, broken and in despair.
Ice
I swore long ago, I’d never want anyone for myself. I didn’t want to take the chance of losing someone I loved, not after everything I’ve seen in life. Then I see her and know I have to help. I didn’t intend for it to happen, but it did.
Now I’ve got no choice but to handle the demons not only in her head—there’s more coming for her. I’ll kill them all to make sure nothing happens to her. She’s mine, whether either of us likes it or not.

Viking
She was mine before she even knew it. I claimed her the day she turned eighteen. I knew the second I saw her I wanted Fawn to be mine, so I laid down the law and ensured any brother, near or far would never even glance in her direction. She’s ran from me long enough, but now it’s time to take what’s mine. She’s not a teenager anymore but instead she’s a woman. A woman who’s experienced life, who partied in college, travelled, not to mention many other things. I’ve given her space to grow and now it’s time she comes home. Still, Fawn wants to run. She wants to get far away from the club life, but as a creep comes out of the woodwork and starts stalking her, she turns to me for help. I’ll do anything for her, even if she tries to keep running. With any luck through this she’ll realize she’s only meant to be one place—by my side.

Viking

I have the opportunity of a lifetime, but I never thought trouble would be here too. Dex Going to college was something I always dreamed of, but I never thought I'd be able to afford it. So, when I got a full ride to Stonewall University, I reluctantly took the offer. Why? Because my uncle is the Dean of the college. It's like I knew something was shady, but I still wanted to take this opportunity. I thought shit would hit the fan first thing, but instead I had my eyes on a gorgeous blonde. She wore leather and had a good bit of sass, and the way she filled out jeans had me getting a good look at her every time I could. Slowly but surely, my story with Ember started, but it was far from over.

Dex's Devotion

I'll sacrifice everything for her if it means she's mine. Hellhound Seeing her in that hospital bed, I told myself I am done waiting.

Hellhound's Sacrifice

She wasn't mine to love, but I do. K-9 My brother died years ago and left behind a woman, Annabel. No one knows the feelings I have for her. I've had them for years, even when my brother was alive, but she was his woman and I'd never overstep. I'd be crossing a line, a line I wouldn't be able to come back from. Now years have passed and I find out she's moving without even telling me. She gave birth to my brother's child and I hate her. I hate her so much, I loathe her very existence. I'm torn between destroying everything dear to her and trapping her in my arms. Only, while I try to figure everything out with Annabel, things with the club have never been more dangerous and threats are coming from every corner.

K-9's Fight

I only cared about three things: myself, my club, and my family . . . until she came in the picture. Kraken The Raiders of Valhalla MC have been part of my life for as long as I could remember. Lately, there's been some heavy stuff happening at the club. A spa burned down, we saved kids from a horrible situation, and one of my brother's was recently shot. Still, we thrive and persevere with every step. I thought after everything I'd finally have a break. Looking back now, I should've known better. Something tragic happened to my family, and now I'm the sole caregiver to my 3 year old niece, Everly. I thought being her guardian would be the last shake up in my life, but I was wrong. I met a woman who had a beautiful name, but every time she took a breath fire practically came out of her nostrils. She was gorgeous, confident, and didn't take crap from anybody. It's how I knew she'd end up being mine, but just like always sh*t hit the fan.

Spiteful

I had one rule: don't sleep with the talent. Yet, I had no problem breaking it for her. Rémy My family had dealt with nefarious people for most of our lives. We became accustomed to it. In fact, we were raised by someone who was the worst of them all. We knew what to look out for, and we became a stronger family unit because of what we endured. Things had just begun to settle down. Our family had kept another war from starting with a rival family, and for a while the coast was clear. As the one who manages the club we own, Diamond Dancers, I was simply ensuring the show would go on. We were waiting for our breakout star to come from Europe. We'd booked her a while back, but were forced to wait until she had finished up her previous contractual obligation. I figured she was a phenomenal burlesque dancer, considering my sister-in-law recommended her for the job. What I didn't expect was that she'd be the most beautiful woman I'd ever meet. One look at her and undeniable desire coursed through me. I knew I couldn't have her. She worked for me, and I never wanted to be that man. But I saw the way she looked at me too. She was fighting the same urges, and in no time I knew we'd come crashing together. I just never thought it would be quite this powerful.
