JEWEL
Everyone thinks Alec is the perfect man: rich, successful, sexy.
They don’t have a clue what happens behind closed doors.
I finally make my escape, but it’s not long before he finds me.
And when he does, a biker comes to my rescue.
A biker that makes me feel safe,
Until I catch a glimpse of a darkness in him that scares me.
Will I be able to make peace with what he does for the club,
While still trusting him to keep me safe?
ZED
Fourteen years ago, I started a feud between two clubs,
By killing my brother’s best friend.
There’s a pretty new waitress at the diner in town that gets my attention.
When her ex shows up while I’m there, I add an extra side of trauma to her trauma,
By killing him in front of her.
Oops.
I take her home to calm down,
And Pres puts us on lockdown until the dust settles.
She’s wearing scars from years of abuse that won’t disappear overnight,
And it’s hard for the dust to settle when we keep kicking more up.
PHOEBE
I witnessed something terrible when I was fifteen.
I should’ve kept my mouth shut about it,
But I didn’t.
It’s been eight years since, and the man I reported is about to get out of prison.
When he leaves a note for me, my boss has one of his friends take me home to keep me out of harms way.
Something about this man makes me feel safe in a way I haven’t felt for years,
But that doesn’t mean I’m ready to share all my secrets.
SKIDS
I spend all my time locked in my safehouse with my computers,
By myself, the way I like it.
Until a blue-haired girl steals all my attention and I welcome her into my space.
Phoebe won’t tell me why she needs my help,
Or who I’m protecting her from,
But she’s too afraid to leave,
Not that I’m going to let her go.
I have secrets of my own,
And they start screaming their way to the surface when Phoebe’s past is finally revealed.
