Faith-Anne & Josh - Prelude: The Lie
7 years ago
Faith-Anne
Something’s hurt worse than other things. They crack your heart open leaving it in a shattered mess of pain. The type of pain that you will feel the rest of your life. No amount of glue was meant to fix something like this. Somethings just feel like you can’t come back from it. Faith-Anne knew this had always been the destiny of this 18 year old’s heart. But, she never expected it to hurt quite like this. It was supposed to be a summer fling. This was the moment she would have begging anyone for a different outcome. She knew Josh and that is what made this hurt that much more. This is what had broken her more anything else.
This summer had been the best year of her life. It was something she would never forget nor would she ever want to. Even, if she had known this is how it was all going to end. But, the memories of the summer swirled thick in her head spinning over and over like a broken record. It preyed on her insecurities screaming them through her entire body. It wasn’t enough, she wasn’t enough, she would never be enough for him. The fun moment didn’t mean shit in the end. Faith-Anne knew she loved him but, he just couldn't love her. The feeling of his warm touch still burned her skin. It was now a faint memory of what could have been. “Josh…” I love you
The shower’s water burned into her skin as she curled into the tub. Every part of her was trying to pull alway from the pain of her broken heart. The tight prickle and slow shatter of glass hung deep inside of her heart. A deep guttural cry filled the space between her causing her to gag the more she lost herself in her grief. If only she hadn’t lied to him maybe it would’ve changed it all. If only she had told Josh how far she had fell. This lie felt like the death of her 18 year old heart. The shower pelted down against her skin. She begged for the warmth of the steaming water to take the pain away, her voice croaked out, “forgive me for not…” The moment her life changed forever.
Josh
Josh prided himself on not being like his father. It was one of the things that he had promised himself as long as he could remember. But, when he watched her walk away, it took every part of him not to shoving his fist through a wall. He knew she meant something to him and he had just made the biggest mistake of his life. He knew that he was watching the love of his life leave his side at the ripe old age of 20. Now his destiny was to be a hallow shell of man he once was. This summer was supposed to be fun and fucking the girl of his dreams, not full of pain and heartbreak. It had been fun for the most part but, the ending was something he had wished would never come. But, something are destined to happen. They were never going to become more than two people who fucked hard and long for a few months. It was what they agreed on but, if that was the case why did it hurt so fucking hard.
Josh knew that Faith-Anne was never his to have maybe that is why he sabotaged it. He wouldn't be able to give her the family, the white picket fence or any of the shit she deserved. She needed to get as far from him as she possibly could. His head hit hard against the wall and finally let himself beat his fist against it till sharp pain radiated through his knuckles. His knees came crashing down hard on the floor like a piano being pushed out a window on to pavement. A deep pain radiating straight to the bone but, it felt nothing like what he was feeling in his chest. “Faith-Anne…” I love you. Those fucking words he still couldn't seem to muster through his lips. His chest felt tight as it felt like sharp razors of emotion were going down his throat and straight to his chest. He knew he would never heal from this. Josh didn't want to heal from this. He wanted to remember how painful it felt and how bad he had broke his sweet little bear. It was the least he could do for being the type of asshole he was.
Honesty. Honest. He kept chanting in his head over and over again. Josh had always promised himself one thing. He would always be truthful, no matter how hard it might be. But, when it all came down to it. He couldn’t do it. He didn't have it in him to be honest with Faith-Anne. So he lied through is teeth like a dumb-ass. He would never forgive himself for this. It was all his fault that the two of them would never make it. He had to much trauma and couldn't force himself out of his own shit. But, it was safe. What if he couldn't stop himself from turning into his family? He wasn’t willing to lose his family. He wasn’t willing to potentially lose her. Having her as a friend sounded better than nothing at all or that is the lie he would have to convince himself the rest of his life. His head hung so low that it felt like it might go through the floor, “forgive me little bear…” the moment he swore never to let himself love again.
Josh's hands continued crashing over and over again against the brick wall. The call of a bottle shouting through his heart. He needed something cause this pain just wouldn't go away. The way she made him feel was the kinda stuff you hear about in the movies. Now she was a distant memory of what he could have had. Fuck.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia

Then the truth came out.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
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.
The enforcer's redemption
Tyler Rodriguez is the most feared enforcer in professional hockey, six-foot-three of controlled aggression, paid to hurt people and too hollowed by guilt to care about the cost. When a brutal hit sends rival player Danny Martinez to the hospital, Tyler expects hate. What he doesn't expect is Danny's sister.
Sofia Martinez has spent two years rebuilding her life after escaping an abusive marriage, raising her daughter Emma alone, watching every exit, trusting no one who looks like violence. Tyler Rodriguez looks exactly like violence. She knows better than to let him in.
But Tyler keeps showing up. At the hospital. At her school. In the quiet spaces, she thought were hers alone. And for the first time in years, Sofia's threat assessment comes back wrong because the most dangerous thing about Tyler Rodriguez isn't his fists. It's that he listens.
As their forbidden connection deepens, Sofia's ex-husband, Marcus, is watching, and when he files for custody of their daughter, naming Tyler as evidence of Sofia's poor judgment, everything they've carefully built begins to crack.
Tyler must choose between the only language he's ever known and the man he's desperately trying to become. Sofia must decide whether protecting her daughter means keeping her walls up or finally letting the right person through them.
The Enforcer's Redemption is a sizzling, emotionally raw forbidden romance featuring a brooding hockey enforcer haunted by grief, a fiercely independent single mother rebuilding from trauma, and a slow-burn love story set against the backdrop of professional sports, custody battles, and the hardest question of all: can broken people protect each other without breaking again?
