Bear Bottom Guardians MC

When Rome Pierce moved to Bear Bottom, Texas, it was his intention to lay low. To not be seen. To find a way to heal his body and soul-as well as his son's. Nobody would know by looking at him that he used to play professional football. Not with the Bear Bottom MC cut covering his back, and definitely not with his friendly smile completely obliterated. No longer is there charm in each smooth word that comes out of his mouth. What's left is an angry, bitter, scared man that's terrified one day he's going to wake up and his entire world is going to be gone. Nobody knows what drove him to leave the game he loved-nobody but her. She's the one person that has helped him make it through the dark days and even darker nights. She's the bright and shining star in his pitch-black sky. And he doesn't even know her name. He should be afraid that she knows things that not anyone-not even his best friend-knows. Yet, with each encounter, he gives what little bit of his soul remains, and before he knows it only two people on this earth-one dying, and one too afraid to live-make his life worth living. Until one day he has to choose-the love of his life, or the life he brought into this world. Two impossible situations. One decision that would change him forever. Contains mature themes.

Linc has two very important things on his mind-professional football and his motorcycle club. What he does not have on his mind is the woman that drives him crazy and makes him want to do stupid things, like throw caution to the wind. Nope, not Linc. At least, that's the lie he tells everyone. In reality, every time Conleigh's name is mentioned, he squirms. She's everything that he wants, wrapped up in a cute little package that is stamped "hands freakin' off." She's four years younger than him, in school to be a doctor, and thinks football is stupid. Even more, Linc and Conleigh get along like oil and water. There's not a single second that they're in each other's presence that they're not at each other's throats. But all it takes is hearing that she's in trouble for Linc to drop every single thing-football and MC duties alike-and head to her side. A side that he'll remain at until they either kill each other, or finally give into the heat between them. Either way you look at it, he's well and truly screwed. Contains mature themes.

Wade had everything he could ever want in life . . . then he lost it. Landry Hill was his girl. His everything. His first kiss. His first and only love. His old lady and wife. Then one day he does something monumentally stupid, and she walks away knowing she'll never come back. Fast forward two years, and he's still just as in love with her now as he was when she left. The only problem is that she's moved on with her life, found a new man, and has seemingly forgotten him. Then there's Wade-stuck in the same awful place where she abandoned him. The only thing he has left is his job as a police officer and the Bear Bottom MC. Just when they both think things can't get any worse, life kicks them both in the teeth, and Landry finds out really quick that the only person she can depend on is the one that let her walk away. With that understanding comes a deal. One that Landry has no hope of ever breaking free from, and one Wade will do everything in his power to make a reality. But one thing is still certain. The force that split them apart is still out there, and there's no hope of escaping fate. Contains mature themes.

Hoax knows two things very well. One, he's not relationship material. Two, the nurse that treats him for erectile dysfunction is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and practically has "the marrying type" stamped on her forehead. Does that stop him from wanting her? No. Unfortunately, he learned a long time ago that Army Delta Force and long-lasting relationships don't go hand in hand. But beautiful hazel eyes, curly blonde hair, and the prettiest lips he's ever seen play havoc with his resolve, making him forget his earlier convictions. All it takes is one teeny, tiny kiss for every shred of control he has to disappear, along with the problem in his pants. Soon he finds himself doing things that he knows that he shouldn't. He doesn't know that he's found the woman that's meant to be his. Nor does he realize that her father is the man he's idolized from the moment he joined the army at the age of eighteen. Because, maybe if he had, he would've tried a little harder to ignore the pull he felt between them instead of making her his the night before he deployed for six months. He also might've tried a little harder not to knock her up. Contains mature themes.

Benson Bayou Beauregard is the president of the Bear Bottom Guardians MC, and the grandson of the Sergeant at Arms for the Dixie Wardens MC. He's a mountain of a man and the warden of a prison, and there's only one thing that can scare him-being told that he's the father of a three-year-old little girl. A three-year-old little girl that has no clue who he is. Hell, he only finds out about the little cherub when a woman from child protective services comes by and rocks his world before leaving the girl in his shocked arms. Every single thing he thinks he knows goes up in a cloud of smoke. To make matters worse, the woman that he's been trying to convince to give him a chance takes one look at the little girl and tells him that he's just not in the right place to handle both of them. But Bayou was never one to back down from a challenge. He can handle a three-year-old girl that acts exactly like him, and he can more than take on the fiery redhead that sets flame to his blood while he's at it. Contains mature themes.

Zee + Annmarie and Tan + Jubilee. Forever. No exceptions. They were to have the picture-perfect life together. Everything was all planned out. Jubilee was to marry Eitan and Ezekiel was to marry Annmarie. That's how it was always supposed to be from the moment that they met. Textbook, right? Wrong. Eitan and Annmarie die in a freak accident that never should have happened, leaving the two survivors reeling. Sixteen years later, Jubilee and Zee can't even be in the same room with each other before things begin to deteriorate. Too many memories. Too much pain. Not enough forgiveness. They're like hellfire and holy water, and neither one of them is willing to admit that they're wrong. Then one day things change, and all of a sudden, they're looking at each other like maybe they aren't each other's enemies after all.

Ghosts are real. Well, technically speaking, maybe not. But the ones that haunt a man's soul? Those are very real. So real, in fact, that there are times when Castiel would rather silence them forever in the worst way possible than to go on living with them haunting his every step. All it took was one single second in time for his attention to drift, and everything changed. Life as he once knew it, is over. Now he's struggling to make sense of the pieces that are left, and he's fairly sure at least half of them are missing. He's living for three things now. His club-the Bear Bottom Guardians. His work as a police officer for Bear Bottom Police Department. And the occasional glimpse of a girl that makes his spirit feel free. Despite the ghosts that haunt him, he's not willing to present them with another target. Which is why he has to stay away from her. He can't touch her. He can't talk to her. He can't get anywhere near her. Not and live with himself afterward. The only problem is, Turner doesn't care what Castiel wants. She also has a solution for his ghosts. You may call her Ms. Ghostbuster. Contains mature themes.

Good vs. bad. light vs. dark. right vs. wrong. There are always two sides to every coin. Josiah "Liner" Paldecki knew the moment he laid eyes on her that there was something different about her. Something special. Something so unique that it practically poleaxed him the moment that their eyes met. Except, the next time he saw her, it was like she was a different woman altogether. There was a blankness to her eyes that concerned him. An air of menace about her that honestly scared him to death. He's more than man enough to admit it. At first, Liner thinks it's because she's bi-polar, or possibly psychopathic. Then he realizes the truth. That there isn't a single person that exhibits such different personalities, but two. Two identical twin sisters, both completely different, yet exactly the same. One with a soul, and one without. One that has his heart, and one that only wants to destroy it. Contains mature themes.

Slate Solis went from being a guy that people went to in times of need to an ex-con that people crossed the street to avoid being too close to. He knows he's done wrong, but out of all of his sins, only one really bothers him-coveting thy neighbor's wife. Harleigh Belle-the cute little lady that never gives him a second glance. After seeing her for the first time while he was in prison, she's stayed on his mind for three long years. Each time she comes in to visit with her friend on family day, he can't help but stare. Then the day comes that he's set free, and he's almost disappointed that he'll never see her again. Except fate has different plans. He hasn't been back in his house for more than three hours when he sees her. Harleigh Belle in all her glory . . . oh, and her husband, who is everything Slate isn't. He tells himself that her being fifty feet away from him, all day every day, is a complete coincidence. One that he shouldn't take advantage of. The more time passes, the harder it gets to stay away. Until one day, and one very ill-timed thunderstorm, ruin everything. Who knew that baby-making-weather was a real thing? Contains mature themes.
