When life tried to break me I grabbed that b*tch by the throat and squeezed. I thought I could overcome anything. I swore I could handle him, but after being forced to play at the Devil's playground I ended up craving his touch. One taste of his poison made my loyalties begin to waiver. Romero. "I’m a living nightmare, I’m everything they fear. ". I’ve been called the Devil, deranged, and a savage. I lived by a code created by rebel souls. We were sinners and thieves that made no apologies for taking whatever the f*ck we wanted. Saving a girl in the woods was never part of my plans, but when I saw the crazy in her eyes I knew it was a match made in hell. Now secrets are piling up, the bodies are rotting, and time is running out to finish what I started. Forewarning, our story is more than a little f*cked up. Authors Note : 18+. I am not going to put a long 'warning' on this book. I will say that Savages is a VERY cautionary tale that has no regard for hard limits. Reader discretion IS highly advised. less

-Calista-. Sick bitch. Maniac. Out of my fucking head. I’m not broken. I’m just a little damaged. I’m stronger now, stronger than I ever knew. And it’s all because of him. This is only the beginning but I already know how it’s going to end. I’ll be claiming my throne and they’ll be buried in the dirt. -Romero-. Deranged. Psychopath. Out of my fucking mind. We both know how it’s all going to end. The blood we shed will stain our hands... more-Calista-. Sick bitch. Maniac. Out of my fucking head. I’m not broken. I’m just a little damaged.

*Grimm*. Pariah. Dark Messiah. Harbinger of death. My reputation has always preceded me. I’m a brother to the queen of the Badlands. I’m one of the few confidants to her fiancé–the devil himself. And those whispered rumors that I’m a silent killer, a true harvester of souls? They’re true. People never see me coming. I don’t discriminate, I show no mercy, and I feel no remorse... more*Grimm*. Pariah. Dark Messiah. Harbinger of death. My reputation has always preceded me. I’m a brother to the queen of the Badlands. I’m one of the few confidants to her fiancé–the devil himself. And those whispered rumors that I’m a silent killer, a true harvester of souls? They’re true. People never see me coming. I don’t discriminate, I show no mercy, and I feel no remorse. My only loyalty is to my family and when someone important to them goes missing, I vow to do whatever is necessary to track her down and bring her back. But the person I find is not the same woman who was stolen away. Something’s different about her. Something I find myself drawn to as we fight our way back to hell. *Arlen*. Stubborn. Reckless. Original family disappointment. My reputation has never preceded me. I’m supposed to be this spoiled, rich b*tch who does everything her daddy tells her. I was forbidden to even think about the Badlands. But money means nothin to me and my paradise was a pretty cage I refused to be trapped in. I fought my way out, I found a new family, and even though sh*t got tough sometimes it all worked out in the end. And then I got kidnapped. I thought it was over for me. I almost broke. I should have known he would never let that happen. And I should have realized something inside me had shifted. Maybe then I’d have seen the signs that I was falling for an irredeemable man. A man who taught me that there was power in taking away a life. A man who showed me just how beautiful hell truly was. It’s only fair I warn you that this is not a story about a rescued damsel in distress. This is a story about what happens when a man who collects souls finally meets his match. *Outcasts is the 3rd book in the Badlands series. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend starting Savages & Deviants first. *. less

Love is madness. Love is anguish. Ours was ill-fated from the beginning. From best friends, to almost lovers, to this. We were poetry. The kind that bled and wept. We’d become a mess of euphoric bliss and mind-numbing pain. I promised to follow him until the bitter end, but after far too long I needed to go home. The odds would be stacked against me in every way. He’d come after me, of that I was sure. Many would lose their lives, becoming casualties in our war... moreLove is madness. Love is anguish. Ours was ill-fated from the beginning. From best friends, to almost lovers, to this. We were poetry. The kind that bled and wept. We’d become a mess of euphoric bliss and mind-numbing pain. I promised to follow him until the bitter end, but after far too long I needed to go home. The odds would be stacked against me in every way. He’d come after me, of that I was sure. Many would lose their lives, becoming casualties in our war. When this was all said and done, our story would be one whispered in dark corners for years to come. A tale of a wolf pursuing a lamb, but with a masochistic twist. For even lambs have teeth, and this one bites back. *T-WARNING*. Miscreants is an enemies-to-lovers standalone full of explicit savagery and an OTT anti-hero. Some readers may find the content within objective. Discretion is highly advised! less
