Sondra Riley has had enough.  Over the years she has become and expert at placating those around her.  Now everyone expects her to let them run her life and make major decisions without consulting her.  Sondra kind of expects that from her mom.  After all, her mom even steam rolls over her intimidating grandmother.  However, when her beloved grandmother and longtime friend/crush don't trust her enough to tell her important details, Sondra decides it is time for a change.  
	Making the change from being a sweet doormat isn't easy and can make enemies, but it can't come at a better time.  Because, if Sondra isn't smart enough and brave enough to try for her own dreams she just might lose her home and friends for good.  Even if she manages everything else, will her friends like the new her?

Yeah I was in Juvie. Get over it. by moonlightariaturner
48 parts Complete
Carmen is screwed up. She's been in and out of juvie all her life and seriously there's no place she'd rather be. Until she gets released from juvie unexpectedly, given a probation officer, and forced to live with a normal family and go to a normal school. Carmen doesn't even know the definition of normal. Much less family, or school. Separated from the only system she's known and has stayed constant all her life, she finds it hard to adjust to the world outside the concrete building. The structure and rules aren't the same. In juvie, rules were like opinions, people ignored them. But in the real world, supposedly it wasn't socially acceptable to steal cash, or graffiti the front of the school building. Enter the Harrisons, the family who's taking care of her. The matriarch of the family hates her criminal record. Sammy, the seven-year-old, is too clingy, too innocent, and too naive to understand anything. Then there's Jay, the guy she's forced to share a room with. A self-righteous son of a bitch, Jay doesn't understand Carmen and doesn't understand her self destructive way of thinking. Though he's not bothered by her, he's fascinated with her. The family represents the structure and rules that Carmen doesn't, nor wants to, understand. But as Carmin starts to push back at the structure and rules suddenly rushed into her life, it starts to change. Her whole way of living is thrown off balance, what she deems normal isn't. And through a series of events, she starts to spiral out of control, and she doesn't know if someone can pull her up from that. Carmen was given a second chance, but is it a good chance, or is it just another recipe for getting thrown right back to square one, like she always is? Because second chances don't usually get handed out. And she's about to learn what it means to get a second chance. ____
Fight For Her (Devil's Right Hand MC #2) by Mack_2024
38 parts Complete Mature
Brenna Miller goes by many different names: Shorty, Brenna, and most importantly, Mommy. She fights every day for her daughter, sometimes forgetting herself in the process. In her opinion, life is good. She has her brother, her daughter, a stable job, and a side gig that pays very well. Things are good. She would rather go through life alone, anyway, as that means nobody can hurt her or her daughter. That plan worked until she meets an arrogant man with bright blue eyes and a curiosity for her neither of them understands. Now, she must decide if loneliness is safer, or maybe, just maybe, he is. ------ Driver Roberson is the ruthless Vice President of the Devil's Right Hand MC. His entire life, he was trained to be a fighter, to only think as far as the next fight. Even after he retired his boxing gloves, he followed this motto, one foot in front of the other, one fight at a time. He never wanted anything more than the life he had, owning a popular gym, hosting underground fights, being a part of DRH, and having a different girl in his bed every night. In his mind, life is good. Then how can one girl knock his entire world off its axis? Why does he feel so drawn to her, especially when she constantly pushes him away? Maybe it's fate. Maybe it's lust. Maybe it's true love. But Drive will have to fight for her. ------- Disclaimer: This technically is a sequel to Facing My Demons (Devil's Right Hand MC #1) as it follows all of the same characters. I highly encourage you to read that book first. However, this book can be read as a stand-alone!

One all of these characters are fictional, and their situations are completely FICTIONAL..... Two and this is a spoiler alert there will be chapters that contain abuse in them that is why I have given this story a mature rating. I do not in anyway support or encourage any form of abuse......Lastly this is my first story and due to my crazy schedule I am slow to update. If you like it, hate it, love it, or have any type of criticism I would love to hear from you. Sincerely yours SilverInk.
