"Stryker" I'm a drifter. A man born to ride through this world alone. There used to be a time when I thought I was the rescuing type. I enlisted in the Marines and made it my duty-I was going to save lives. I was going to be a true American hero. But God had another plan. Or maybe Satan did. For everything I touch finds mortality. I'm no hero. I'm nothing. I'm a veteran biker, a former nomad who survived war only to live in hell. Now I ride with the Satan's Knights of Brooklyn and I'm drifting into a different kind of chaos. The kind that revolves around a pretty girl with intoxicating green eyes. A girl who has the power to turn me inside out. A girl who doesn't need anyone to rescue her because she's her own savior. Until she's not. But a man plagued by war and the devil inside him can never be her hero. Gina Spinelli Strong. Independent. Fierce. They are the three things I strived to be. But sometimes being successful can be lonely. Sometimes a girl just wants to be a girl and have someone take care of her. Maybe even love her. Sometimes the strong become vulnerable. Or worse, the victor becomes the victim. Sometimes we lose control or in my case it's stripped from you. Defeated. Broken. Haunted. They are the three things I have become. In my darkest hour I admit defeat. In my darkest hour I need one person. I need him. Stryker. ***NOTE:Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, sensitive subjects, offensive language, and mature topics. Recommended for age 18 years and up. ***

Drifter

Hero Club

It was just a typical manic Monday until the blue and red lights flashed behind my Harley. The cop who pulled me over was good-looking, if you're into clean cut guys with expressive eyes. He was also cocky and gave me three tickets.One for speeding.Another for blowing a light.And the third for not producing an insurance card.Jerk.When he finally let me go, I realized I was more than an hour late for my first day as an intern for the infamous advice column, Ask Ida.So much for trying to be the only one in my family with a legit job.Lucky for me, my new boss, Soraya, didn't fire me on the spot. But that's where my luck ran out.A couple of weeks later, in between fetching coffee and finding the missing paperclips, I received a text message from my dad, the president of the Corrupt Hellraisers MC, ordering me to the compound.Yeah, try explaining that to your new boss.Hey, I've gotta go. Everyone in my family is a criminal and we're all on lockdown.You're fired.Sure enough when I arrived at the clubhouse, everyone was in cuffs and the jerk who pulled me over was the one ushering my father out of the clubhouse.They say you never see the bad guys coming.Well, I didn't see the cocky jerk coming either.

Cocky Jerk

Pieces

My life was in shambles until Victor Pastore, one of New York's most notorious gangsters and my late father's best friend, recruited me to work for him. Everyone expected me to walk in my father's shadow, to be the prodigal son, the next big thing to hit the mob. I was torn between filling those expectations and walking the straight line my mother wished I had. Nothing made sense and I felt as if I was just passing through life. The only beacon of light in my otherwise dark world was the one girl that was off limits to me. The one girl who could bring me to my knees consuming my mind, body and soul. She's the sweetest temptation I've ever known and the most illicit. Nikki Pastore.... My father's a gangster. My boyfriend's is the king of New York's nightclubs.

There is only one person who sees me for me, my Mikey. He's wild. He's reckless. He's hot as hell. He's completely unattainable, but oh so tempting.

Illicit Temptations

Jack "Bulldog" Parrish Crazy: Mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way. I was thirteen when I discovered the definition of the word I'd forever be labeled. Some used it as a figure of speech but for me it was a scar I'd carry through life. Or so I believed until I was diagnosed a manic depressive. I'm the president of the Satan's Knights Motorcycle Club, a man of power and control. A man with enemies near and far. But the truth, my truth, is my biggest enemy- my mind and I live most of my life with no control whatsoever. I'm just a man who battles his demons, a man destined to live a life full of darkness. Until her. She's the light beckoning me, calling me home, away from the torment. In a world as dark as the one I live in, sometimes I can't help but crave Sunshine. Reina DeCarlo I was lost, broken and a prisoner of my scars. A shell of the woman I used to be, who didn't know the difference between living and merely existing. Until a stranger found me, fixed and freed me. He breathed life into my soul, reminding me I was a survivor and still had life to live. My savior is a biker. A man tortured by his own scars. A man broken like me, maybe even a little lost too. I want to be his remedy. I want to heal him. I want to return the favor and be his savior. This is our story, a story neither of us knew how to write until we found each other.

Blackout

I never planned on falling in love with the mob boss' daughter. She was forbidden but somehow she became mine. She made me crave things I didn't even know existed and made me forget about the things I thought I wanted. My quest for power faded away and was replaced by my undying love for her.

No matter how tempted I am. Adrianna Pastore I wanted him from the very first time I laid eyes on him. He was everything to me, my first love and probably my last.

When the love you crave is beautiful, yet forbidden, you can't help being tempted. So I'll fight for him. For us. Even if I'm the only one fighting.

Broken Pieces

Seventeen years on the job, I still remember my first day like it was yesterday. I fixed my probie patch to my uniform, strapped on my gear and ran to catch the Staten Island Ferry, making my way to the burning towers. My boots pounded the pavement of lower Manhattan as the dire need to save lives pulsated through my veins. It was the day I became a hero. Throughout my career, I often thought about the man I saved that day. I wondered about his life. If he had eventually married and had a family of his own. I never expected to find the answers. Meeting her was a twist of fate. Lying to her was my choice. But falling in love with her was beyond my control. * Previously published as a novella in the Burn Me Anthology, Jimmy and Melissa

Raging Inferno

Greed. Power. Sin. It all comes with the gavel. Blurs the lines between church and state. But the Knightdale Charter of the Satan's Knights MC is my life. And I'd do anything for this club. Like letting the best woman I ever had slip through my fingertips. A sinfully beautiful spitfire, she's my better half in every way. My twin flame. My everything. My biggest regret. But there's no making things right between us. Because I'm the reason she's alone yet again. And if our past wasn't enough to put out the fire in her soul, my crimes certainly will be.
