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. Which is how I end up bunking at the Texas Charter’s clubhouse for the next foreseeable future. At the same clubhouse where my club brother and his woman live.

SABOTAGE: 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. IZZY: He's out of prison, and he knows where I am. I need protection. And who better to protect me than the president of the Savage Crows?

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. God only knows why we love each other so much. He's part of my downfall — my destruction. And when I finally hit rock bottom, quickly spiraling into the darkest place imaginable, his best friend does his best to save my life. But how do you help a woman who can't find the strength to save herself?

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 I’m okay with that. I have a roof over my head. There are rules in place to keep me safe. As long as I follow directions, I get food in my belly, a warm, comfortable bed to sleep on, and an entire room to finally call my own. But then he steps into the room I’m in for the night. The mafia don.

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.

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. And I'm going to burn this entire world to the ground to get vengeance for what happened to her.

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

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. I follow her every move every second that I can. Which is how I see the two shadowed figures right before they break into her store. Will I be too late to save her? Or am I going to be left picking up her pieces?

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. It's easier when I know she's got a man she lives with. But when he screws up, that major boundary is now off the table, and I'm about to wreck my entire world and destroy the example I'm trying to make because Aaliyah...I need a taste.

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. He gave me a purpose. But we were oil and water. And Joey? He was the oil - trapping me, smothering me. But I love him - I love this man with every fiber of my being. He's made me promise to keep him with me because without him, I'm not living. I'm dying. And when River steps into my life?

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 of survival.

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. Now, he wants to breathe life into me. I'll give him a chance, but I'm pretty sure my darkness is going to run him away. And when his brother comes home from the military with his own demons... Well, I can't expect either of them to help me.

Copper. 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. Penny. I'm damaged and destroyed. But when he looks at me, he makes me feel complete. And I'll do anything to please him—to make him claim me as his own.

In his world, he was the boss. And I owed the boss five grand. Instead of making me disappear like he does everyone else, he took me prisoner. He was a cold-blooded killer with a bad temper and no remorse. But I was a woman who liked to play with death.

Spending nine years in a prison cell changes a man. And as much as I longed to be free, nothing could have prepared me for being part of the outside world again. I'm not a normal man. My tastes run dark, and I don't know how to be civilized. I'm quiet, gruff, and tainted all the way down to my soul. But the moment Blakely steps into that hotel room with me, I'm done for. I'm a goner.

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.

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. And despite the fact that I was the one kneeling in front of him, threatening to end his life, he clung to me and the tiny shred of hope I somehow gave him.

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.

Hatchet: She was my high school sweetheart. But I was screwed up, and I cared more about my next fix at that age than her and our baby. Layla: I lied to him all of 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. And he knows.

If I found out that they harmed one hair on my little boy’s head when they snatched my woman up, I swore destruction and death would follow in my wake. And no one would stop me this time. I would do what my name promised I did. I would start taking souls.
