I spent the night with a complete stranger. Now, he thinks I'm a puck bunny. So, imagine my shame when I find out he's my new boss and I'm moving into his guest house… as his son's nanny. Okay, just because Atlanta Fire's star center knows how to handle his stick doesn't mean I'm going to let him out of the penalty box. Sebastian Blue is a walking mistake in a hockey jersey. Sinful smirk? You bet. Dedicated single dad? Of course. Relationship phobic? Just my luck. But he's eager to become my knight in shining skates…

Lucian Daire wants my family's company. I want to watch him burn for it. He thinks I'm nothing more than a spoiled princess, and I think he's a heartless bastard. But no matter how much we push, we keep pulling back together. When I discover he needs a wife and he realizes my determination to save my family's legacy, a deal is struck—lines are drawn. But the more we fight, the more those lines blur. Because hatred is just passion turned inside out. And when it finally explodes, it threatens to destroy us both. And we might just be desperate enough to let it.

In this modern-retelling of "Beauty and the Beast", Savannah Carmichael, betrayed by an unreliable source, returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia, with her once-promising journalism career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get back in the game by writing a patriotic human interest piece, Savannah turns her attention to the town hermit, Asher Lee, a wounded veteran who returned to Danvers eight years ago, and hasn't been seen since.

From the outside, it appears Juliette Patrice has the perfect life. Her career is her number one priority, matched only by her desire to fulfil her parents' enormous expectations. Lucas "Timber" Blake is the sergeant-at-arms of the Black Shamrocks MC. A violent man who cares only for his club and his family, he's wrong for Juliette in every logical way. Still dealing with the fallout from events earlier in the year, Lucas is tested further when Juliette is dragged into the middle of the war between rival clubs. A war that's already had fatal consequences.

Prospecting for the Black Shamrocks MC once Colin “Conan” Blake finished school was a no-brainer. His best friends were prospecting. His father was a ranking member. Hell, every man he knew was part of the MC. The only thing the Club wanted in return for a lifetime of brotherhood was unquestioning loyalty. It was that straightforward. Patching in meant he vowed to put the needs of the Black Shamrocks in front of everything else - even his own desires. He thought it would be easy. He was certain nothing could come between him and his brothers. That was until he met her.

It should be smooth sailing from now on. Mik taking his rightful place as the President of the Black Shamrocks MC with his woman by his side. Maddi free from the demons that plague her, finally back in the tender embrace of the love of her life. Revenge. That dish best served cold. The need for it is eating Mik up inside. Filling him with hatred and blinding him to Maddi's struggle. He wants to avenge every wrong done to them while she wishes to forgive and forget.

Only daughter of the volatile president of the Black Shamrocks MC and long-suffering sister to four overprotective brothers, Madelaine O'Brien has survived circumstances that would have broken a lesser woman. Mik "Mad Dog" Kennedy is her salvation, her reward for continuing to fight, and the matching piece of her soul.

In the past when people mentioned Joel O'Brien, they talked about "the quiet one". The boy who was the family's voice of reason and their go-to guy for wisdom well beyond his years. Nowadays, they whisper about the "crippled one". The man who radiates darkness, who wallows in his self-pity, and refuses to find a way to deal with the injuries he sustained at the beginning of the war that's threatening to engulf the Black Shamrocks MC.

Wendy Markham. Gentle. Compassionate. Loyal. Stepmother to five headstrong children, longtime partner of the cantankerous ex-president of the Black Shamrocks MC, and the woman everyone turns to in a crisis. Patrick "Beast" O'Brien. Brutal. Merciless. Duplicitous. A father in name only, traitor to his own club, and a man living on borrowed time. He's broken all of the rules, hurt the one's closest to him, and then run away like a coward. She's been left behind to clean up his mess.

Rock bottom...some would say Benjamin O'Brien has finally reached it. When you've ruined your life and brought your loved ones to their knees in the process, you'd assume you couldn't fall any further. Lacey Marquis is done. Ruined. Deserted by the man she thought was the love of her life, she's reached her breaking point. It takes a lot to make the Black Shamrocks MC abandon their family, yet Benji has almost managed it. When the club discovers Lacey's involvement in his deception, they're both given one final chance. Make amends or die.

Christmas is a lonely time for Kelly Lane. In her thirty's and single, she has given up the dream she'd always had. Mac Brentwell is only going through the motions. Living the high profile life people believe lawyers have, he's a playboy, a different woman on his arm every night. What people don't know is that most nights he goes home alone. And he's lonely, dreaming of the day he might get that Christmas wish he had so long ago.

You know how the story ends. Now, it’s time to learn how it all began as Conan, Viking, Butch, Lenny, Doc, and the perennial bad guy, Beast finally have their say.

A filthy biker with a reputation for using his fists first and asking questions later, Victor "Viking" Kennedy wasn't under the illusion that his marriage to Bonnie Dubois had the makings of a grand love affair. She was a prima ballerina - a snobby bitch who knew she was sex-on-legs. She was also ripe for a walk on the wild side with him. Their understanding was mutual. A year-long fling that kept them both satisfied until she headed overseas to pursue her dancing career. It was good while it lasted.

Madelaine O'Brien is drowning beneath the emotional scars left by her destructive relationship with her first boyfriend. Mikhail "Mad Dog" Kennedy knows he made a near-fatal error the day he walked away from Maddi, leaving her in the abusive clutches of the man he thought she'd chosen over him. She's on the cusp of giving up. He's stricken by guilt and unsure how to fix her. Apart, they're both doomed to suffer. Together, they might just stand a chance.
