  Welcome to the city of Sin where the Mafia, Bratva and three motorcycle clubs control the Las Vegas underworld.

  Dexter "Hardy" Cox grew up on the tough streets of Belfast and came of age on the rough streets of London. As former Prez of the defunct London Lucifer’s Saints chapter, now running the second most lucrative charter in Vegas, he and his VP, Ronan, have more than their fair share of problems, professionally. Unfortunately, Hardy has only one issue personally and the bitch has a name.

  Talia Viaro.

  The successful, talented and gorgeous lead singer of Winter's Regret has nothing but baggage and she wants nothing to do with men, let alone another member of the Cox family.

  After she begins receiving threats that put both her personal and professional life in jeopardy, she's decided to give Hardy a chance to prove he can be more than just a good lay in the sack.

  However, a war is brewing to take down another rival club—the White Knights MC—placing the woman he loves in the crosshairs of club business. Hardy has sworn brotherhood to the Lucifer’s Saints but he must also decide how far he is willing to go to protect Talia who has him by the balls and has him locked down heart, head and soul.

  Running an MC club may be a tough job but falling in love for the first time might just break him.

  I’ll be the first to admit it to any motherfucker walkin’ or talkin’—I don’t fucking wait on birds.

  Then again, I sometimes forget that chicks aren’t birds here in the States. It’s a hard habit to break and if I was gonna insult a filly or a fella, I’d call her or him exactly what I think and that’s a fucking cunt. The guys—Ronan especially, that little piss ant—my nephew who also happens to be my second-in command as Vice President for the Saints Vegas chapter still gives me shit but I couldn’t give a fuck.

  That was before I met the love of my life though.

  I always knew I’d never fall in love. Not with any cunt who came into my life because they were so fucking plentiful, and when you’ve had pussy of all colors riding your dick after so many years in this life, it just becomes monotonous. I was more worried about seein’ the next day with the kind of world I have embraced as my own than I ever was about having some bitch next to me.

  I still get chills when I watch that scene in Scarface and that sexy bitch played by Michelle Pfeiffer tells a fucking coked out Tony Montana that what good are kids, a wife and a fuckin’ family if he’s not gonna be around long enough to see ‘em grow up.

  And she had a strong point too.

  A life of crime isn’t really cut out for happy fucking families or a happy ending where the guy gets the girl, and all is well because he’s some douchebag that has the world at his feet.

  Every brother who’s a member of a Saints’ charter is my family—period.

  If my old lady couldn’t accept that then this wasn’t the life for her. This isn’t the life for reality television drama and temper tantrums—the bitch would just be happy I made it home at the end of a long day while I risked my ass to keep her, and everyone I love and care about safe.

  If I wanted family, I should have chosen to be a regular fuckin’ mug with a nine-to-five job, a house in the ‘burbs, a sensible car and a decent looking bitch I could have come home to every night. She’d make me dinner, have the kids washed and their homework done. Then afterwards, we’d fuck when I felt like it, roll over to opposite sides of the bed, and go to sleep only to repeat the whole motherfuckin’ situation the next day.

  But growin’ up in a place like Belfast, having my first taste of power with the IRA, and then bein’ givin’ my own club by my oldest brother. That kinda power warps anyone, and it had me—hook, line, and sinker from day one.

  I loved going to all the hottest clubs in London, knowing everyone knew who I was and wouldn’t dare cross a bad ass fucker like me. They knew my connections and they would shit their pants if I looked at ‘em wrong.

  Moving to America didn’t change much after the London charter was put to an end. I still had power but now I was in a new place, a new country and like most fuckin’ geezers out there, I thought American pussy would be more exciting.

  It wasn’t.

  Well, except for one woman.

  Holy fuck did she put the screws in me.

  After awhile, I realized it wasn’t only just her pussy talkin’ but everything about her excited me and had me on a fucking loop. The bitch was independent, she was hot, she was wealthy, famous, and she fuckin’ used me like I was the cunt of the decade and she was the one with the massive dick that had women moaning from London to Tokyo.

  Yeah, when a man hooks up with a prize bitch like that, it was hard to let go. In her case, she never gave me much of a choice either.

  Not only did she have a kid but she was dumbass nephew’s piece on the side.

  A woman like this who could fuckin’ put my balls in a shredder and tear me up inside, I knew she was doin’ somethin’ to my heart ‘cause shit didn’t feel right. I actually looked forward to spendin’ time with her and when she fuckin’ rung me, I was over the fuckin’ moon. I mean this bitch had my head fuckin’ spinnin’ like a goddamn record player.

  But Talia wasn’t mine.

  I had to knock her up just so I could keep her so that should tell you what kind of person I am. Fuck no, I don’t play fair and there was no way that pussy nephew of mine was keepin’ something I wanted from me.

  So I took her.

  I take every fuckin’ thing I want.

  I just wish someone would have told me that the consequences of my actions would cause a whole chain of events that even if I could, I wouldn’t fuckin’ undo.

  I watched my girl as she worked her magic on stage. As the lead singer and savior of a once fledgling rock group that was now on the up and up, she could make diamonds out of cubic zirconia.

  Talia had that charisma, that presence and Winter’s Regret was that much better havin’ her around. Not only did she have the voice of an angel fused with the magic of Lucifer and Aphrodite, she had that “it” factor. Who else could end a rock concert full of hard rockin’ fans with an acoustic version of “Crazy In Love” from Fifty Shades? Hell, Beyoncé would have been proud.

  I watched from the sidelines in the back with all the other technical people. It wasn’t like they were gonna ask me to leave. I know I’m intimidating standing over six feet, four inches and weighing a solid two hundred and thirty of pure muscle. Yeah, my shoulder had gotten fucked up from a gun fight but no one knew that and it only hurt when it rained or if it was knocked out of its socket, which didn’t happen very often with the kind of people I dealt with.

  Ronan was young—younger than I would have liked to have as my VP but growin’ up in the life, being the son of the mother charter’s President, he wasn’t stupid. He had a strong old lady who stood by his side, and lately our only mission was to knock out some of our competition.

  It was a tough job but someone had to do it and it freed up more time with my old lady who was freakin’ five months pregnant and refused to stop working until Winter’s Regret went on their spring hiatus. That was more than a month away, and I wasn’t all that happy abo
ut how shit was working out but what could I do? I’d fallen for a woman who wouldn’t be beholden to any man after two severely fucked up and dysfunctional relationships where she was always left with the short end of the stick.

  And what did I do? Like a pussy, I stayed.

  I refused to lose her, and at first it was only because I wanted to win.

  Defeating Kaelan—aka Jaden from Scarlet Fever—was just plain fun. Yeah, he was my nephew but he was a little cunt who couldn’t stay with the club. Apparently he was too sensitive and needed to express his musical talents instead. I didn’t respect him, didn’t like him and couldn’t believe Talia—the same woman I knew—would have ever spread her legs for this prick. Let alone allow herself to clean up his shit, piss and vomit while he detoxed while they were on tour a few years back.

  But now, I just wanted her in my life. She’d become so much more than just a prize but it was hard as hell when she decided to cater to that bastard, and give him her precious time. He didn’t deserve time with her or his son, the selfish little cunt. She should have barred him out of her life, and when we got married, I was gonna make sure his ass didn’t come around. I wasn’t scared of her wrath, even if that meant givin’ him the beat down of his life. I’d make sure he was pissin’ blood for a month if he ever tried to test me. Family or no family, that little shit meant fuck all to me and I had a feeling Talia knew it but she wouldn’t dare address it.

  “Enjoying the show?” A feminine voice inquired.

  I didn’t even have to turn around to know who it was. She was my direct supervisor, and unfortunately, although I wanted to see my baby walk off stage, it wasn’t gonna happen now.

  “What’s up, Eve?” I flexed my arms, working the pain out of my bad shoulder though I had yet to face her.

  “Everything is set. Just wanted to make sure with my niece in such a precarious condition, you didn’t plan to back out?”
