T.O. Smith

I’m a monster hiding in human skin. Shutting off my emotions should not be this easy. But because it is, I’m the man Johnston calls on when he needs a job taken care of.

I've had my eyes on her from the moment she started bartending in my clubhouse. And now that she's open about wanting me, I'm claiming her....

It happened fast, but Penny? She’s it for me. I won’t let her bury herself in her misery. The moment I laid my eyes on her, I needed to claim her—make her mine. And when I find out that she needs protection, I become a monster....

The moment he lays his eyes on her, there's no doubt about it… She will be his. Women like me don’t get happily ever afters. We’re chained. Kept women. There to fulfill men’s needs and nothing more. But then he steps into the room I’m in for the night. The mafia don.

He'll be her downfall... The two of them together will be her salvation. I live and breathe dancing. Without it, I'm a shell — a mess of a young woman with no outlet for the pain and torment residing inside of me. Everything changes when I meet him. We're toxic together.

I've been in love with my president's little sister for years. She's broken - destroyed. But I'm determined to save her. I'll give her a purpose. I'll make every demon that makes her suffer my demons as well. I'm going to save this woman... Or I'm going to die trying....

Thor: I'm the funny guy of the club--the clown. But with her life on the line? I'll become a monster.

Being the mother charter prez, I've got to lead by example. Treat your old lady with respect. Keep a level head. Never make rash decisions. But Aaliyah tips my entire world upside down. My blood runs hot every time she steps into the room. It's a struggle to keep my hands to myself around her....

I wasn't ready to be tied down to her, but like hell was I letting anyone else touch her. But when I almost lose her to a rival club, my mind changes instantly. I'm letting her lay claim to me. I'm tattooing her name on my neck.

I've been obsessed with her since the moment she opened up her little bookstore/coffee shop in town. And despite her obvious hatred of me, it hasn't stopped me from pursuing her. The club runs the security at her store, and not going to lie--I stalk her.

Hatchet: She was my high school sweetheart. But I was screwed up, and I cared more about my next fix than her and our baby. Layla: I lied to him all those years ago - told him that I had an abortion, and I ran from town. But now I'm back - with our seven-year-old son in tow....

I love hard, deep, and fast. My heart's been broken by club women twice. I won't go through it again. But I can't resist her no matter how hard I try. And when her life is dangling by a thread, I'll throw away my own freedom for her....

I’m tainted by darkness. There’s no color in my life—it’s all just shades of black and gray. But the moment I lay my eyes on Gabriel, I know he’s different. He’s scared of his own shadow. He needs someone to take care of him.

Three sexy, tattooed, alpha presidents...and she's at the center of them all. The one man who always promised to love me - to take care of me - ruined me.Joey? He's my hero.Joey saw me - broken, barely surviving - barely breathing - and he taught me how to breathe again....

I've always wanted her, but I'll never come second best to any man. Until I realize I'm not all that she needs. But I love her enough to be what she needs me to be....

Ink. She ripped my heart out five years ago when she left to be with my brother. Now she's back, and she's asking me for protection. Reina. Five years ago, I left to chase a life with a man who I thought loved me. I was a fool. Now I'm on the run, and Ink is my only chance....

I left her behind three years ago when I went to basic training. Now I'm back, and she needs me. I'm determined to prove to her that she's strong, and that she's worth it all....

She saved my life—turned on her own people. Now, I'm determined to protect her and do my best to make her happy here, even if that means sharing her with my president....

When Tracey's world is flipped upside down and she has to learn to live in a world where abuse doesn't exist, she spirals. But when the bad boy sees her for the first time, he makes it his own personal mission to save her. She's lost in darkness. He knows how to thrive in it....

I never truly get better. I just learn how to go through the motions and hope for the best. When I'm having a panic attack in the middle of the library, a guy with dark hair, even darker eyes, and tattoos comes to my rescue, walking me through the steps to ground myself.
