Michelle is my addiction. She’s sweetness and light wrapped up in a delicious package. Almost as delicious as the confections she makes. Until now, I’ve kept my distance to make sure my darkness doesn’t taint her. She’s better than a killer who sits behind a scope. I watch her from afar. Getting dragged under her spell a little further with every sweet smile and mischievous grin. I know I’ll cave one day, give into the craving to be near her. Being in her presence is a feeling like no other, one I can’t seem to resist.

Ryan “Edge” Stanton has everything he could want in life. As the sergeant at arms for the Rebel Chasers MC, he has a full brotherhood at his back, great friends outside of the club, and his own tattoo shop Needle's Edge. Looking from the outside in, one would think his life is perfect.

Kayla has had a pretty crappy year. Cheating husband? Check. Getting arrested for trying to drown him? Check. Getting handcuffed by the world’s hottest cop? Check. Raising four kids alone? Check. Cheating ex-husband being a complete nuisance? Check. Obviously, it makes sense that she wants to stay as far away from the opposite sex as possible. Of course, staying away would be a lot easier if a certain Viking-looking police officer didn’t seem to be everywhere that she is.

Sage is a woman with no time for games. She has teenagers to raise, a business to run and the father of her girls to manage...literally. So, when she goes on a date with JJ and he never calls again, she chalks it up to just another horrible date. But their story is far from over. After all, they’ve both been through enough bad times in their lives it’s only fair they get a happily ever after...right? Only trouble is, no one ever said life had to be fair.

Mellie has been hypnotized by a pair of gorgeous green eyes attached to a very yummy package, for months now. Unfortunately for her, her brain goes on hiatus anytime Morris Jackson is around. Looking like a bobblehead whenever he asks her anything isn't the best way to go about getting a man like him interested. It's not like ruggedly handsome men go for quirky, accident-prone introverts like her. Plus, even if she did have a snowball's chance in hell with him, him being her brother's SWAT teammate doesn't bode well for her.

Rocco has been trying to get Lavenders attention for months to no avail. Well that is until one tequila filled night in Vegas. Lavender blames tequila and possibly Declan for her current predicament. Sure, most women would be running towards Rocco with open arms and missing panties. But she isn’t like other women. Too bad for her life has other plans. Nothing seems to go the way she hopes, especially with Declan involved.

Anyone with a working brain would feel that way after finding her fiance in bed with her best friend. The only issue with her plan is the pain-in-the-butt, grunting, and grumpy cop that she has the misfortune of running into. But as long as she can avoid Darrin James, her life is damn near close to perfect.

Elle has gone through so much in her life. After dealing with an overbearing and abusive father, the last thing that she wants to deal with is having a jerk for a boss. Luckily for her, two out of the three are sweethearts. Unfortunately, the grumpy one just happens to be the sexiest man that she's ever seen. Too bad he can't seem to keep him mouth shut. Otherwise, she would have the most perfect job in the world.

Kellie has had it with men! Especially good for nothing sperm donors who never see their daughter! The only men who don’t get on her nerves are her father, her brother, and Mason Ross. The first two for obvious reasons and the last one, well...he’s just Mason. Sweet, silly, and more handsome than any man should ever be. Too bad a man like him can have any woman that he wants.

Cadie lived in hell because of an abusive ex. She managed to escape, but is a shell of her former self. No matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to get back to the woman she once was. Even if working at a tattoo shop filled with big scary men has been helping her see that sometimes they are the ones to have at her side.

Jessie lets everyone believe that she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. It’s easy to do if you keep everyone at arm's length. Most people see her tattoos, piercings, and multi-colored hair and come to their own conclusions about her. Why bother even trying to correct them? It’s easier to hide your demons if people don’t look past your armor. She has her best friend and a pseudo-brother, she doesn’t need anyone else.

Declan just can’t help himself some days. Getting into some sort of trouble just seems like second nature most days. It’s no surprise when Declan makes a reckless move during a SWAT call and ends up in the hospital with a stab wound. What is surprising is that he finds the woman of his dreams...and future fantasies. Too bad that instead of being smooth, the pain medication made him a slurring fool.
