Welcome to the medieval town of Elverg. This town is full of honest, hard-working people, but every year on the same day, someone from this kingdom mysteriously dies. Each year the deaths become more gruesome and the stories to cover them up become more elaborate. The only person who knows the truth behind these awful murders is Odelle. Odelle is the town's midwife and children's physician, and has now been forced into being the king's pet. She never expected her life to become this, but the king has big plans for her.

Babydoll (Steel Rebels MC #1) [Completed]
Isabella had never really fit into the mold that her family was forcing her in. Luckily, she finds a place that accepts her as she is. However, she didn't expect it to be among a bunch of rowdy bikers. *** Isabella knew how her life would go - even if she didn't like it. Since the day she was born she had been shaped and squished into the role of the perfect high-society trophy girl. But the shoe never really fit. She was too curious, too clumsy, too nice. When she intercepts a flying coffee cup for a complete stranger, little did she know she would soon be staying with the city's infamous motorcycle club. And it seems the rowdy men have little intention of letting her go any time soon. Especially not their large, protective enforcer. And that is alright with Isabella. Home is where the heart is and she's lost hers in the Steel Rebels' club house. **** This is the first part of Isabella's and Knux's story and will be completed with "Hammer & Anvil (Steel Rebels MC #2)". ***** Fictive location.
