To move on from her past, an extraordinary girl must tear down the walls she has built to protect herself.

Mackenzie Douglas seems to have it all: good looks, a great boyfriend, a passion for biking, and a little sister who worships her. But under the veneer of perfection lie the emotional scars of her childhood, inflicted by her father. Though her memories have faded with time, the wounds on Mac’s subconscious remain.

Having vowed to never be a victim again, Mac focuses on a journey she’s always wanted to take: a summer bike trip on her amazing new RoadCap bike. But as the excursion finally gets underway, memories Mac long ago buried start to claw their way back to the surface, forcing her to confront a past she has done everything she can to forget.

To prevent her sister from enduring the same trauma, Mac must let go of everything in which she’s found refuge. To break a cycle that needs to be broken, Mackenzie summons her strength and risks shattering the world she has so carefully built, exposing hidden secrets, long-told lies, and a horrific crime.

Hello, Readers!

It took me nine years (seriously!) to finish this YA, Dancing With the Devil, and Diversion Books has published it both digitally and in paperback versions. 

But guess what? I'm also putting it up here on Wattpad, free. Serialized, so it might make you crazy, but still, cool, right? And the whole thing will be here. I'm serializing twice a week every Sunday and Wednesday and the completed story will be one of the Wattpad Featured Stories starting on June 6th. 

You'll just have to wait to read the whole thing. After it's all up, I get to answer questions in a LIVE Q&A book club! Talking to readers will be a dream come true.

35 parts Complete Mature
Have you ever been in love with your best friend? Well, I certainly have. I'm the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. The girl who is an illegitimate child. The girl who is a bastard child. In other words, my mom was a club bunny. The girl who could be anyone's child. When I was just a few months old, she left her old life and started a new one in a new town. My mother met an incredible man. A biker. He had his own son who was a little over a year old. We grew up like siblings. He was my father in my eyes. Events happened that made me leave town at 17. I never thought I would come back to this town after I left almost 6 years ago. But, here I am with my almost 5 year old daughter and son. I thought I could hide the truth. I thought he would never find out. But, hey! When you're in a small town, people talk. And so they did. My son is a spitting image of their father. So, when he came barging through my bar and walking out the back door towards my house. I couldn't hide it anymore. Our children were out in the yard playing for fuck's sake. "Is it true?" "Is what true?" "They're mine aren't they?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "He fucking looks like me McKenzie!" "I..." Tears began to fall from my eyes like the raining falling out the sky. There's no point in lying and trying to hide it anymore. "Were you ever going to tell me?" "No." He turned on his heels and stormed off towards his Harley FXDR 114. He never looked back. And I never blamed him. How could I? I destroyed the man I loved since we were children once again. I slumped to the ground in defeat. Tears falling freely down my face. I felt little hands wipe my tears on my stained cheeks. "It's okay mommy. I caught your raindrops."

"There's a beginning to every story. There's an end to every beginning. This is how my story begins and ends." -Kate "These a soul out there that's meant for me. I just haven't came across it yet." -Bear My story doesn't the fairytale start however in the mist of everything; it has the fairytale ending. The princess who gets her Prince Charming. Or in my case, the VP of Creed MC, he's not a Prince Charming but he's Royalty to his club. How we met was by accident but I call it fate. Outsiders would be scared of such a brute, I wasn't one of them. When I moved here from Ashby with my daughter, I hadn't expected to catch the eyes of another VP. I promised to stay clear from any members of any clubs. I wouldn't risk my heart to be shattered by any outlaw criminal again. My luck, they'd be exactly like Viper and if they were... I would never recover. I made plenty of mistakes to get me to where I am today. But with those mistakes, I wouldn't ask for a redo. I wouldn't have McKenzie. I wouldn't be married to my savior. We wouldn't have our children, if I had asked for a redo in life. Having Mac was a miracle but falling for Bear was a blessing in disguise. He had his own son almost the same age as Mac. Our love wasn't off the bat, it was a slow pace. It took him months on top of months to get me to agree to one date. That one date turned into another, turned into two more, which turned into dating. Before Bear, there was many of mistakes. I was trying to fix the mistakes me mother created before she passed. My mother was a prostitute for the Viper's MC. She had sex with any of the member and thus is how I came about. I never knew who my father was, not that I cared. I tried to go down a different path but any path I chose when straight to the Viper's MC clubhouse. My story will be a rocky rollercoaster one that ends up in a happy ending. You'll laugh, smile, and cry. You have been warned.
