I never ran from my past or the only woman I ever loved. She made sure to stomp me into the ground and demand I forget all about her. I tried to do just that, and in the twelve years since she ripped my heart out, I've done fairly well. Sometimes I could even go a day or two without thinking of...

I wouldn't call it love at first sight, but my body definitely reacted when I saw her. Getting Faith Robbins under me became my obsession. I knew I wanted fast and done. It's how I always did things. Looking for anything more with a woman was never in the cards. I wasn't like the other guys in...

The first time we met, I was rescuing her from a cult. The second time I laid eyes on her was when she showed up at Cerberus with a secret, asking me for an unthinkable favor. What she was offering was something I never thought I could have, so I readily agreed. I wanted more than just her...

Fake relationships have no place in an adult's life. Until they do. It was one kiss. One trick to convince her ex she's in a happy relationship. One kiss is all it took. Captivated isn't a strong enough word. Haunted is a little closer. Obsessed fits the bill. I'm obsessed with Reagan Dunn...

As a child, I believed Christmas wishes were supposed to come true. As an adult, I realized making those wishes was pointless. As an original member of the Cerberus MC, I knew hard work and determination are what brought a good outcome, so I stopped making wishes. I didn't ask for Lucy...

Falling for a girl I just met was never in my plans. We had one night together, and most days I convince myself that she was an apparition - something I made up in my mind to get me through the hard days....

I was the golden child. The one all the Cerberus guys looked up to. I was on my way to becoming the next career Marine. But after my last deployment to Syria, being a Marine was no longer an option. Unfortunately, my not so honorable discharge from the Corps didn't get rid of the demons created...

My first job with the Cerberus MC was to grab a girl from a seedy bar. Easy money, right? The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn't around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. With her striking features and sinful body, I knew she was trouble, but that didn't...

One day she's standing on my porch, and the next she's being held a prisoner in my house. Retiring from the Marine Corps didn't mean I stopped serving the civilians of this great nation. Serving her would be my absolute pleasure. I know why I said yes when she asked for help. Her...

I've always been a connoisseur of the opposite sex. Tall, short, thin, thick and juicy, my tastes knew no limitations. That became abundantly clear the night my best friend took me in his mouth. Sure, there'd been close calls before, the slip of a hand or misplaced lips. With our...

I'm no one's savior. I work with the Cerberus MC for the thrills, not for the glory. Saving people who've been trafficked is just a side benefit, coming in second to the adrenaline rush of eradicating some of the evil in the world. Mia Vazquez didn't seem to get the memo. When I pulled her...

The plans I made for my life didn't pan out. I walked away from my best friend, my lover, the only man I could see spending my life with to make a career of being a Marine, but it didn't happen. A car accident took him away from me before I realized the mistake I'd made. Now, 13 years later...

Who says you can't fall in love at seven years old? I know I did. The love I felt for my babysitter, Camryn Davison, at such a young age transformed over time. By the time I was a teen that love turned into fantasies I knew would never come true. By the time I saw her again at 21 I was...

Life can change in the blink of an eye. As a member of the Cerberus MC, an elite organization that specializes in the rescue and recovery of trafficked women, I've seen it happen more than once. I've witnessed how easily a family can be torn apart from a single bad choice. We've been too late...

I'm the fun guy. The one always quick with a joke. The guy who is crazy enough to do wild things to make people smile. That's how people see me. That's who I've presented myself to be. That's how I introduced myself to Rivet. The first female Cerberus team member wasn't impressed with my corny...

The civilian world is supposed to be easy after fighting in a war. Taking acting classes while also working as a personal trainer, I keep myself pretty busy. I'm focused, honed in on my goals, but there's no way not to be distracted by Aviana Maguire. There's something about her standoffish...

Grinch: I never ran from my past or the woman I loved. She made sure to stomp me into the ground and demand I forget her. I tried to do that, and in the twelve years since she ripped my heart out, I've done fairly well. We were never supposed to see each other again, but Grace couldn't stay gone...

Jinx: It was one kiss. One trick to convince her ex she's in a happy relationship. I'm obsessed with Reagan. Only Reagan isn't looking for that happy relationship. Until she needs me to pretend again. Pretending is perfect. It gives me the opportunity to prove that we are the perfect combination...

He ruined a lifelong friendship the night he kissed me. I spent the next three years avoiding him. Well . . . I tried at least. With my dad being a member of the Cerberus MC and his dad married to one of the members it was virtually impossible. Just like it was impossible to keep from watching...

They say misery loves company, but after losing the love of my life all I wanted was to be completely alone. Having a young daughter made that impossible. I couldn't curl into myself. I couldn't spend hours in the dark living in regret. I couldn't end it all no matter how many times that thought...
