SaraWhat's so wrong with being the fun party animal who likes to experiment, meet new people, and take guys home for one night stands?Well, not all the time, obviously.

ALBERTSomething about her sets my blood on fire. She's a wild cat with balls of steel. You cross Rosey, and she'll slit your throat while laughing about it. I know because I've seen her in action.

MaverickLife has a funny way of pulling you in when you least expect it. It's been a few years since I was back at The Perished Riders MC clubhouse, and fuck, it's damn near the same. I don't know what I thought would happen in my time away. I left because my dad was stuck in the past, unable to move the club forward into the present day, so it shouldn't be surprising that the hell hole hasn't changed since I was a kid.It's also no surprise that now the miserable bastard is dead, there's not much left to salvage.But I've stepped up, just like my brothers wanted me to, and I'm making changes.

GracieBefore I was taken, my life was normal. I had parents who loved me, friends I'd have died for, and a boyfriend who doted on me. But one night changed it all, and for sixteen months, I've been missing, living in a hell created by the monsters who took me.When Scar finds me, I'm a shadow of who I used to be. His patience and dedication to keep me safe is apparent from the beginning, and honestly, I like it. I haven't felt this safe in a long time. But it soon becomes obvious that Scar's got his own issues. He keeps himself hidden away from the world, reluctant to speak let alone show his face.I want to help him the same way he's helped me . . . so why won't he trust me?ScarFrom the second I saw her lying on that church pew, looking vulnerable and sad, I was drawn to her.

Yes, she's safe, but she's got a way of making me open up like I never have. She digs deep, uncovering scars and exposing my heart.Now, I have to trust she won't break it . . .

GrimWhen it comes to women, I like it simple. Hook-ups and short goodbyes are my thing. There's something about Meli, though, that keeps me coming back for more. She's carefree, exciting, and the Pres's sister, which means she's off-limits. But when she makes it clear we're not happening, it's Hadley, her twin, who reminds me not all love has to be dramatic and crazy. It can also be gentle, slow, and easy.Hadley's never been of interest to me, always too busy reading or studying. But lately, I'm noticing her more and more, and that's dangerous . . . for both of us.She doesn't realise the damage I could cause her. Because that's what I do-I'm Grim, reaping souls and casting them aside, leaving nothing but death and destruction. Hadley won't survive me. Hadley It's no secret that I've had a crush on Grim since I was a kid. I've longed for him to look at me the way he looks at my twin sister, Meli. The trouble is, she hates him, but I know how unrequited love feels, so I vow to support Grim as he deals with the rejection.Forcing myself to live a little, I put down my books and pack away my baggy sweaters in an attempt to get on Grim's radar. And just when I think about giving up, he finally sees me!I never knew true happiness could feel so amazing. Then, one day, it all falls down around us, leaving nothing but broken pieces and shattered hearts. I've never felt this kind of pain. Nothing will ever be the same again . . . for any of us.

NellyIt started as a favour. I needed him to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few family dates. Despite having worked the bar at The Perished Riders MC for a couple of years, I'd hardly ever spoken with Ghost, so he was less than pleased when the club's President forced him into helping me.But he shows up for me, something I'm not used to when it comes to relying on men. All my past mistakes involve let-downs or cheating liars, but it seems like Ghost is far from my usual type.He calls me out on my bull, and he builds me up when I'm feeling less than. Sometimes, I have to pinch myself to believe he's real and interested in me.I want to believe he's my forever, but I'm Nelly and 'mistake' is my middle name. Ghost'Biker' and 'trustworthy' don't go in the same sentence, but that's what I am. You treat me good, and I'll look after you. So, when my president asks me to help our barmaid out, I reluctantly agree. I don't know much about Nelly, but it soon becomes apparent she has low self-esteem and falls for the wrong type easily. Take her ex, for example-he's a married liar and yet she still lets him into her bed whenever he clicks his damn slimy fingers.Spending so much time with Nelly gets me thinking maybe she could be my happy ever after, my ol' lady. I want to settle down like the rest of my brothers, and Nelly's got just what I need with her gorgeous curves and a vulnerable side that calls to me. She needs protecting, and I need comforting.Our relationship moves fast, almost too fast, because when she messes everything up, I don't even see it coming.She once told me 'mistake' was her middle name . . . I should have believed her.
