Chapter 1

SOFIA

Fire...

All I see is fire; surrounding me like I was cursed to have my life burn to the ground before my very eyes.

I could only imagine what it was like for my parents. I could still hear their screams each time I close my eyes.

“Why did I leave the house that night just to watch the moon? Why?” I voiced out, out of my deep rooted thoughts.

If only I could turn back the hands of time……..

I sighed out.

“Maybe this was just my fate. To live my 20s with no guardian and nobody to care for me,” I said as I gulped the tequila shot in front of me.

Whatever the barman had mixed in the cup, it was one hell of a try. “You should have more, babes,” my friend, Kiki, uttered as she adjusted her dress to expose her cleavages.

“What are you doing?” I smirked.

“Girl, are you blind?” She said, saving off her hand at the whole place. “Its groovy in here. These dudes needs to see there is a hot chick in session,” she said.

Another slang of hers I was used to hearing. The “hookers’ code” she called it.

“Come join in, babes. These men have a lot of money. Just shake your ass and the gold is yours,” she said, smacking her lips.

“Kiki…just go…” I smirked.

She was the only thing I have close to family. The friend I was opportune to have….just when I thought I was all alone, circumstances brought us close.

She was the most popular in the streets and every hustling girl respected her.

“How long are we going to be here for?” I uttered. But there was no response. It was then I realized she wasn't even paying attention anymore.

She kept winking at every single man that walked in.

“Here, drink up, babes. I don't want to see you brooding over nothing. What you have in front of you is the end to your sorrows,” she said as he handed over the whole Tequila bottle in her hands and danced her way to one of the men.

I shook my head.

Maybe she was right. I can't afford to let what I went through weigh me down. Losing my parents in that fire was one tragic event I never pray to go through again.

“This would do…” I said, as I shut my eyes tightly and drank up.

Suddenly I felt a light tap on my shoulder but I didn't turn. My butts were stuck to the soft cushion chair at the club and my neck refuses to leave its axis as I was already feeling dizzy.

I felt the tap again but this time around, a sweet smelling cologne followed suit and a young man dressed in a fine brown leather jacket appeared in front of him.

“Hello beautiful…can I buy you a drink?” His baritone voice shut out the music playing at the background and I smiled….

“Uhmm…yes,” I blushed. 

His eyes were piercing my soul as he kept this seducing stare, his stance was so manly and I felt like he was a shed whose arms I could hide under.

“What's a gorgeous girl doing all by herself in a club like this?” He said as he gently placed his hands on my thighs.

I felt I had the perfect choice wearing this black short dress. The slits by the side exposed my legs to the outside world. “It definitely must have caught his eyes,” I thought in my head.

I was about to point to Kiki, to tell him I came with her but looking in that direction, Kiki was busy rocking some guy and I just looked away.

“I just came to have a drink here,” I answered slowly.

The drinks were kicking so fast and I could hear my own speech slowing down as they escape my lips.

I could feel him browsing my thighs as he whispers sweet words in my ears…”You are a new wine, I could tell. Everything about you brings glamour and I don't want to lose it.”

Those were the first time such lovely words had been said to me. I smiled, I blushed, I laughed. Infact, I did every single thing that he could see as a green light.

Everything about him seems so perfect or my lustful eyes signaled.

“Why are you so fine?” I said, caressing his cheeks with my hands. 

He chuckled. “You must be seeing yourself through my eyes, lady cause you are the catch here, not me,” he uttered in a sweet tone.

We had a laugh and we kept drinking like the liquids were meant for our bodies alone.

“I need to use the restroom,” I said.

I stood with the intention of walking majestically with my heels but gravity failed me and I saw myself trip but I was caught fortunately.

“Let me help you,” he said, carrying me in his muscular and comfort arms.

Maybe I was drunk. Maybe I was not but all of a sudden, I no longer felt the need to go to the restroom. 

I relaxed in his arms and leaned over slightly to give him a kiss on the cheeks.

He dropped me at the entrance, looked into my eyes and before I knew, his hands grasped my waist and he pulled me a closer like a dog to the bone.

We kissed passionately. His hands were all over my body and I became aroused that minute.

He lifted me off the ground and I could remember how his curly hair found their way to my hands as he laid me on the bed gently.

“What do you want from me?” I muttered.

The reason I asked the question still baffles me but I sure hoped for an answer. 

He looked straight into my eyes and I saw his lips moved but I couldn't hear a thing.

“Uhh?” I spoke slowly. 

Before I could say more, the whole place went dark and I blacked out…

Mara Kim has never belonged anywhere… until someone decided she did.
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.

Taryn Rourke came to Sturgis for freedom, noise, bad decisions, and a few days away from the rules that have followed her all her life.

She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.

As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.

Her.

Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.

At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.

Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.

It is an insult.

A betrayal.

And in the MC world, it can mean war.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.

Bobby has never been good at following rules.

And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.

The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
