For more than two decades, Banshee has been riddled with guilt because his little sister was abducted right in front of him. It doesn’t matter to him that he was also a child. It’s irrelevant that the kidnapper knocked him out before he grabbed Ryleigh. For him, the bottom line was his job, his responsibility, was watching her and the other club kids while the ol’ ladies prepared food for a family day, and the club brothers had Church... moreFor more than two decades, Banshee has been riddled with guilt because his little sister was abducted right in front of him. It doesn’t matter to him that he was also a child. It’s irrelevant that the kidnapper knocked him out before he grabbed Ryleigh. For him, the bottom line was his job, his responsibility, was watching her and the other club kids while the ol’ ladies prepared food for a family day, and the club brothers had Church. When his sister was initially found, she was going by the name the people who took her used. No one suspected she was actually a club princess, until one of the brothers, RiffRaff, said she looked like Lorelei, his deceased mother. Brick, their current president, took matters into his own hands and several weeks later, DNA confirmed she was his sister and he’s spent countless hours with her, watching old home movies so they can heal from the trauma of their past. She’s made it clear she bears no resentment toward him; she’s loving, sweet, and kind despite the hell she endured. Still, his guilt haunts him. While he puts on a brave face, his nights are fraught with nightmares of that day and the subsequent months that followed which eventually ended in him being an orphan. When Wrecker, a club brother from the Cedar Creek, Texas chapter calls and practically demands he come for a visit, he does, desperate to root everything out so he can get back on track. He never expects that while he’s heading home to Roanoke, Virginia via their chapter in Dallas, Texas, he would meet the woman who’s going to become everything to him. The only issue is, she doesn’t trust anyone, especially those of the male persuasion. After Rory escapes from her Hell thanks to some awesome pre-planning her grampy did, she decides to leave her home behind and take her cat, Sassy, on the road in the RV she and her grandfather rebuilt. When it breaks down leaving her stranded near Dallas and her past attempts to catch up to her, she’s reluctantly forced to accept the help of a tall, tattooed biker. She doesn’t expect to feel anything; her past has numbed her completely and she figures she's too damaged to bring much to the table, especially with a man like him who is every woman’s dream. But Banshee has found his forever in her, and he’s determined he won’t fail to save someone who he cares about ever again. ***Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult content, language and situations*** less

Children should be seen and not heardMoiraGrowing up the way I did, in a fundamentalist religion, I learned early on to speak only when spoken to. Otherwise, I paid the penalty with harsh punishments all under the guise of ‘discipline’ so that I would grow up to be a proper lady.Meeting Belle in college was the best thing I ever did; she was outgoing, outspoken, and vivacious, and I was finally able to come into my own without my past dragging me down... moreChildren should be seen and not heardMoiraGrowing up the way I did, in a fundamentalist religion, I learned early on to speak only when spoken to. Otherwise, I paid the penalty with harsh punishments all under the guise of ‘discipline’ so that I would grow up to be a proper lady.Meeting Belle in college was the best thing I ever did; she was outgoing, outspoken, and vivacious, and I was finally able to come into my own without my past dragging me down.Until… we were kidnapped and held for more months than I care to remember. All because I found us a job as camp counselors. Since I no longer held my tongue, I was punished harshly in all ways. By the time Belle’s brother’s club found us, I no longer spoke at all. Why bother when all it would earn me was another beating?Still… if only I didn’t feel like dirt beneath a snake’s belly, I’d enjoy the constant attention from one of the men, Kracken. However, he deserves so much more than I’ll ever be able to be now.KrackenI grew up under RiffRaff’s reign as the president of the former Roanoke Raiders MC. Now, however, we’re Royal Bastards, with a brotherhood that spans multiple continents. So when I go with Jingles to find his woman, I have absolutely no expectations beyond having my brother’s back.Except… despite her horrific injuries and muteness, which the doctors have all stated is her choice, I’m drawn to the petite brunette. She calls to a place in my soul I never realized was empty, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine. I don’t care what they did to her; the past is just that for a reason.Only… she slips away one night and ends up in the clutches of the very men we rescued her and Belle from many months ago.This time, however, she’s mine and my fury will be unleashed.*Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult content, situations, and language* less
