As a child, I believed Christmas wishes were supposed to come true. As an adult, I realized making those wishes was pointless. As an original member of the Cerberus MC, I knew hard work and determination are what brought a good outcome, so I stopped making wishes. I didn't ask for Lucy or her son Harley, but when having them became a reality, I knew I needed to hold on tight. Her past makes her decisions for her, and letting them go will be the hardest thing I'll ever do.

He ruined a lifelong friendship the night he kissed me. I spent the next three years avoiding him. Well . . . I tried at least. With my dad being a member of the Cerberus MC and his dad married to one of the members it was virtually impossible. Just like it was impossible to keep from watching his mouth when he spoke. The same went for staring at his hands and remembering how they felt on my skin that night. Senior year of college, after years of keeping our distance, we ended up in the same dorm room. Avoiding him now is no longer an option.

My plan was as simple as they come...in theory. Show up at the Cerberus clubhouse and give dear old Dad a piece of my mind. What I didn't expect was being welcomed by the open arms of a father who had no idea I existed. More importantly, I didn't anticipate her. Delilah Donovan was a breath of fresh air. She would soon become my reason for wanting to become a better man, my reason for getting out of bed with a smile on my normally sneering face. But no matter how much I changed, she'd always be too good for a man like me. It was over before it could even begin.

Sawyer Tom is a tall Texan with an easy smile. It masks his rough start in life. Now destiny has flipped the story for the baseball phenom, and life’s riches are within his grasp.

I'm not the kind of man to take dares lightly. They tend to make me more...insane.... She's in the place I escaped from. And my mania is on overload. I'm frantic. I'm reckless. I'm murderous. My mind is chaos. I can feel her, sense her, and scent her. Her fear. Her madness. Her need. My instincts are on overload. And I'm not the type of hunter that uses a gun.

Cassius. Victor. Torsten. My monster. My strength. My heart. Three cruel, broken kings who kissed me with poison. And woke me from my slumber. I used to think that my future lay beyond ivy-covered walls; College, a career, a white-picket fence… But now I’m bathed in blood and fire.

The end was just the beginning. History books call it The Purge, and it altered the course of human history. A breed of seemingly unkillable creatures that once lurked in the shadows of mankind’s past finally revealed themselves. Driven by an insatiable lust for human blood, these monsters - dubbed “ghouls” by some - consumed the globe in one bloody, awful night.

Falling for a girl I just met was never in my plans. We had one night together, and most days I convince myself that she was an apparition - something I made up in my mind to get me through the hard days. Then I found her again. Only she wasn't happy and smiling, giving me a hard time like she did the day we met. She was broken...unseeing eyes no longer filled with life. She was gone because of another person's disregard for human life.
