What would you do if you were running from your horrid past, only to find out you were running in circles?

Scarlett Beck is a twenty five year old executive assistant, and has been for four years. If you asked her fellow employees she is dependable, sufficient, independent, and B.O.R.I.N.G.  If you asked Scarlett herself she would say she is "safe."  She has a past just like anyone else, only her past is one that will kill her without a second thought, that is if her pasts catches up to her.  So, she does everything in her power to make sure that doesn't happen, even if that means leaving everything she once knew behind and becoming a completely different version of herself. 

 

Jamison Nyers, or Jam to some is a thirty two year old executive at Farmington National Bank in Ludwig, Alabama.  Only he isn't just an executive though, he is also the President of Midnight Rides Motorcycle Club.  Banking keeps a good lock on the more "illegal" things the club has to do.   Passed down from generation to generation his MC is one of the few that has been under raps and quite literally the KING of the motorcycle club world.  If you asked his fellow employees he is foul-mouthed, womanizing mongrel.  If you asked his fellow riders, he is a great President that deserves all the respect he gets on the streets. 

 

How can two people who are seemingly so different, who have worked together for the last four years  not know anything about each other? What happens when they realize they are more alike then they could ever imagine?

The Twist of Mate by dahliacraig13
15 parts Complete Mature
Scarlet Montgomery lived her life as the pack slave. She was left Omega after her parents ditched her to become rogues. She is constantly tormented not only by the other pack members but by the Alpha himself. When she meets her mate on her eighteenth birthday, things take an unexpected turn that seem to leave her life in a downward spiral. She becomes more and more defeated with each awful instance sent her way. Will she be able to escape or will she be eaten alive by the wolves that she was thrown to? ************ Trigger warning! There is graphic content, abuse, violence, sexual violence, strong language...etc. If you can't handle any of those things, shy away from the book! Thank you ************ Excerpt: "You know, wouldn't it be fucked up if we were mates?" My face scrunched up, not only in disgust but worry about where he was going with his question. It would be the worst thing that I could imagine. There was a chance that if we were mates that he would lighten up and become the loving mate the moon goddess would have intended but that was a very slim chance. "Do you know what I would do if we were mates?" I shook my head; I didn't just mean it as I didn't know but I didn't want to know. He would probably reject me in the worst possible way he could think of. Or he would use the bond against me. I was already his slave but maybe there was something else that he could do that my innocent mind just couldn't conjure because I wasn't anything like him. I held my humanity close to me as if it would save me in the long run. I refused to be anything like my tormentors and I kept as true to myself as I could. He turned his body towards mine and I could see he was smirking at me but I got a bad feeling. "I would fuck you as hard as I possibly could and then I would kill you. You don't deserve to be a part of this pack but we need slaves just like any other. You truly disgust me and I hope that whoever your mate is rejects you. You're a sorry excuse for a she-wolf."
8 Mile (H. Lowman) by youngblood2354
35 parts Complete Mature
Haven Mathers is the oldest daughter of Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, Slim Shady, the white guy from D12, and so on. She was the result of an affair Marshall had when he was young, but he still loved her all the same. She was his baby, and as she grew up, he was her best friend. When Haven hit the age of eighteen, she had to travel everywhere with her father because Kim didn't want her around. Kim claimed to love Haven as her own, but obviously that wasn't true. She traveled with him for two years, before she decided she wanted to get out on her own. Being the daughter of famous rapper, Eminem, she had to move to a place that she'd less likely get mobbed every time she went to a store or restaurant. Being on tour with him for two years made her a lot more recognized and pretty much famous than the rest of her sisters. It was a blessing and a curse; a blessing to rub in Kim's face, but a curse because Haven wanted to be normal sometimes. Anyhow, the young girl decided to move to Charming, California. The only people who knew where she went was her father and her sisters. Nobody else was allowed to know, and she liked that. She didn't expect that living in Charming would put her in a completely different lifestyle, but she also still had to deal with the fame and recognition from her father's fans, but also the criticism about her family, especially her father, in the news and to her face. It was a pain, but one man started to make it better. Things don't turn completely as planned when her father finds out about him, especially when he learns that the man is the same age as him. He gets angry, but he'd do anything for his girls, so would he really hurt her for being with the man?
Lords of Fire MC (MC Romance, Thriller) [complete] by GlennHefley
31 parts Complete Mature
MC Romance Neil watched for too long, he figured. His club, the Lords MC in Florida became more 'outlaw' every week, and he saw no opportunity to change that direction. He never wanted to be outlaw, and now he was delivering enough to put him down for 30 years, three times a week. With his dad passing away, and his little sisters needing him around more, it was a wake-up call. Time to ride, with someone else if he found a pack worth joining, or lone wolf if not. With his status and tenure, it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be allowed to move on. When Shayla and Sydney came in as dealers a few years back instead of finishing college, their vow was a few years then out. They had a hell of a run. Parties that were legend, lovers of every sexy man type from Cuban to Norwegian and back again. But it was game time again. The years were great, but not what they wanted for their lives. Then they met Neil, and it was like seeing themselves for the first time, in stark light. He was always courteous and professional, unlike their other delivery men from the MC. He never treated them with anything except respect. In the reflection of his cobalt eyes, though, neither saw themselves worth his respect. It wasn't a shaming, more of a profound regret that a man like Neil finally showed up and they were too far into the life to say "hey, this isn't who we are." The whole "I'm not as I am" Othello play was for victims anyway, and they weren't victims. They were volunteers. But just meeting Neil slammed the door on waiting any longer to get out and back to university. Then two other dealers left the club, and turned up in trash bags, their bodies hacked up by machete.
Zeus by Lani_love11
42 parts Complete Mature
Gangs. A girl. War. Fights. Love. Hate. Death. All words to describe the city of Athens. The most dangerous city in the country. But only those who have been there know that. Athens is not a place for tourism. Not many people who visit, make it out alive. Vicki, 16, has finally found a home willing to adopt her after 6 years of jumping from home to home, family to family, foster to foster. Some were good. Some bad. Some could, would, and did the unthinkable. But now she didnt have to deal with that. But she had no idea of the secrets that the friendly "welcome to Athens" sign hides. Or did she? She wasn't ever supposed to end up in the system. Or end up on her meds. She remembered nothing of her life before 10 years old. She had always knew something was missing, but this? This was more than she could ever handle remembering. **** "Wow, I thought it was just you guys and Artemis." "There's a whole world of gangs. There are gangs in every country, some even I don't know as a leader." "Is it tough being a leader?" "Some times. Especially when I have to deal with loss. But I also give some opportunities to people who need it. I've even given a homeless man a small job and it set him up for life." "That's cool. Are the Zusians tyrants. I mean were they?" something about the name doesn't shake me. It's stuck in my head for some reason. "They more are now. There's speculation that a kid got out safe and will one day take back the leadership, but after seeing the wreckage first hand, I don't think anybody left it alive," he says it. But he doesn't sound like he even believes himself. "Did the kid get out? Is it even slightly possible?" "Between you and me. I helped her escape. I know she got out. But I don't think she lived long after we lost contact. Why do you ask?" "Something about the name... It is vaguely familiar but I don't know why. Maybe it's just my meds." "You might have just heard it before." *** Cover by @_scintillas

Brick has been out of the closet since he was a teen. Yet, for some reason, he only ever seems to attract closeted men. When he first joined the Rebel Souls Motorcycle Club, coming out was the first thing he did. He would never stay somewhere he wasn't accepted; he'd never hide himself. What he didn't expect to find hidden within the club, was the love of his life. Bubbles is one of the club's biggest players, hopping from soul sucker to soul sucker. His sexuality has always been straight.. so he thought. That all changes when he meets Brick. Bubbles spends the year that Brick is a prospect for the club pining after him secretly. He tries drowning himself in the club girls to forget the feelings he's having, but it doesn't work. Finally admitting their feelings to himself, and then to Brick, Bubbles still isn't ready to come out. Against his better judgment Brick begins a relationship with him, hiding it from everyone in the club. Months later, Bubbles is finally ready to come out, but Brick is at his breaking point. A stray bullet has Bubbles kissing Brick in front of the entire club. He doesn't care anymore. He almost lost the love of his life, he's tired of hiding. Until he runs scared. Just days after their heated kiss in front of the entire club, Bubbles requests nomad status from their club President. Once he's granted it, he disappears for months. The only thing Brick knows is that he's alive, and he only knows because Bubbles has to check in regularly with Prez. When Bubbles finally returns, three months later, everything has changed. Is it too late for Brick and Bubbles? Did Bubbles screw it up so badly that Brick will never forgive him?

M is for Manipulative. A is for Attitude. I is for Impulsive. S is for Sarcastic. I is for Irresistible. E is for Emotionally unavailable. Put them all together and you get me - Maisie Scarlett Brooks. And yeah, I'm exactly the girl your parents warned you about. Growing up, they tell you the safest thing to do in a messed-up situation is walk away. Whether it's a toxic person or a bad party, you're supposed to listen to that little voice in your head - your conscience - and leave. -Mine booked a one-way flight to the Bermuda Triangle and never looked back. I'm the girl who tells you it's fine to take the pills - "just once." The one who throws parties that end in cops, crying, or chaos - usually all three. I'll invite you out, ghost you halfway through, and leave you stranded in a field without cell service. Don't say I didn't warn you. I didn't care about much. I didn't have much to give. Maybe you'd see things differently if you knew what I've been through. The kind of things you don't come back from without turning a little bit... cracked. Then came the night of the binge. The drive. The flashing lights. And suddenly, I wasn't just trouble - I was in it. "Maisie Scarlett Brooks, what were you thinking?!" "I was thinking it was time to go to bed. Instead, I got pulled over by some obnoxious police officer." This is the story of a girl who's been through hell, set it on fire, and is still standing in the ashes - smirking. Meet Maisie. She's a beautiful disaster, and she's not sorry.
