Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to move on. Natalie had a lonely childhood and because of what she watched her mother become she refuses to follow in her footsteps. She doesn't do relationships, her and Socket have been sleeping together for a long time, but she refuses to let it go further. When her mother comes back in to her life she has no choice to accept help from Socket and his club, will it bring them closer or will it reinforce all she believes about relationships? ***Trigger warning, this story contains description of sexual assault.*** **** Please note, you really need to read books five and seven before you read this one. I'm old and sleep deprived from my newborn, so I'm pretty sure this story will be confusing without reading the others first, because I'm old, tired and confused.**

*EDITED* The last thing Serenity expected when she moved to California was to be placed in the middle of a sex trafficking plan within the city. Forcing herself to learn what she can do to stop it from taking place she's thrown into a world she doesn't know anything about. One thing she expected even less was to be finding herself getting close to motorcycle rider Hunter of the Riders of Silence MC. No matter her efforts to stay away she can't seem to control how drawn she is to be with him. Being a part of the Riders of Silence has been all that Hunter has focused on since he was brought to the club. He never expected that a little Bird would come crashing into him, threatening the very control he has made for himself. The only thing he knows for sure is that he won't let her out of his sight until he knows why she takes his control with just one look from her, particularly since that little Bird seems to draw trouble anywhere she goes.
