It’s been six years since the fight that left Tobias Grave, front man of ‘The Radicals’ fighting for his life. Six years since Morven Strike, his young wife, ran off with a violent skinhead. Six years since the pair learned that there was going to be a baby and that Morven had no idea who the Dad was. A lot can happen in six years.
Rejoin your favorite punk rock pair to see what life has dealt them since the demise of their marriage. How have they adapted their punk life style now that they are parents? Is the kid Tobi’s? And what about Goldie? Was justice ever served?
‘If I Fall Back Down, Again’ takes us right back into the haphazard world of these doomed lovers and on a journey that is at times touching and funny as they struggle to cope with the responsibility of a child amid the chaos of band tours, a failed marriage, drink and drugs. Neither of them are getting any younger, yet it seems that they’ll never grow up, until a devastating event throws their world into disarray, forcing them to rethink everything and pull together for the sake of the child.

Black Hybrids ~The 38 Saga's 4th Book~
14 years with peace and quiet; 14 years with no major disturbances; 14 years of Petra being dead, Pearl grieving and the agents of the Squidbeak Splatoon dealing with minor issues. Not to mention Cora (Agent 3) and Tobias (Agent 8) starting a family, Lance and Marie getting married and so much more. 14 years of peace... Isn't that a little too long for our main characters? I think our main villain would agree with that. So what would happen if a familiar member of the huge, confusing family, reappears but as a villain, 3 people already having known about them being alive? (Theoretically) What would happen when people are kidnapped, experimented on, turned evil against their will and forced to fight their families? What if... They couldn't save those who they dearly loved, and had to watch them die? The agents would say that it's nothing new, but within the chaos of this new villain, they would all realise that this fight would be something new. This adventure was going to be different to anything else they have done in their lifetime. This adventure was going to change all of their lives, PERMANENTLY. And it all starts with Petra, better known as Keigo. ---------------------------- 4th book out of 6.5 in the 38 Saga!

Her Tattooed James Bond (#2) || DISCONTINUED
Ace Lovelace is a walking dick. Plain and simple. He acts like a dick, talks like a dick, looks like a dick and by the infuriating smirk on his face you can tell he knows he's a dick. He humps, he dumps, he sleeps, then repeats. He doesn't give two fucks about any woman other than his sister, niece, and mother. Women were to him like tissues were to a six year old. One blow and in the trash you go before picking up another tissue to use. That is until he finds himself not able to shimmy his way into the heart- er, pants- of Layla Bales. His brother-in-laws sexy art teacher of a cousin, who couldn't care less about the smirking god who can't seem to take his eyes off of her. She's newly single, after a nasty divorce with her childhood sweetheart and husband of three years, and far from ready to mingle with a man like Ace. However, Ace always did like a challenge and Layla was his biggest one yet. But with games comes conflicting outcomes and in this case, it's love. Something Ace can definitely not have with the hostility of his work and the dangers that lay low in the shadows. James Bond may have had his happily ever after with a woman, but that just would never do with a man like Ace. As much as he hated it, Ace wasn't the ordinary James Bond, he was so much more. And no one would be safe. Ever.Complete

(Completed) Bryan Phillips didn't have an easy life. Parents who got addicted to drugs meant doing what it took to survive. He thought blacking out when he lost his virginity was the icing on the cake... not even close. Two little words that hold so much meaning changed his world. "I'm pregnant." Becoming a parent at nineteen is no easy feat. It's even worse when your child's life is threatened. Handling a debt that his good for nothing parents owe is why he standing here at the underground boxing ring. Flexing his hand after punching the notorious Grayson Miller. Feared by most, but there is something in his eyes that Bryan can't shake. "I'm so dead Benny, what the fuck was I thinking? I can't do this!" "What other choice do you have?" I don't and that's the problem. If I don't get the money that they owe, my little girl... "Your puny ass will be dead within a week here." Grayson glares at him. "I don't have a choice, I rather it be me than my daughter." Why did I just say that? The cold dead look in the man's eyes would scare anyone away. I can't back down, no matter what. Neither one of them can look away. A familiarity, a longing one that Bryan thought he lost almost five years ago resurfaces and he doesn't understand why. "It's your funeral, meet me here tomorrow at ten, I will show you how to properly fight." The hold is broken as Grayson walks away. That was... strange, but forgotten the moment he was out of sight. Little did they both know that they shared a history that will soon come to light once training begins. How they will deal with that history is anyone's guess. Copyright © 2022 All rights reserved.
