Jade
When my roommate and best friend set me up with a job interview, I was grateful. I'd never been a server at a club before, but I had some waitressing experience, so how hard could it be? But when I arrived at the club, I realized I'd fallen into my worst nightmare. The club owner wasn't interested in hiring any servers, that was merely a ruse to lure innocent girls like me into a trap. Before I'd even processed what's happening, I was center stage being auctioned off to the highest bidder in a room full of cruel, rich men. They all wanted to win me for one night, to be the one to take my virginity. But the man who outbid the rest is nothing like I expected. No, he's angry and terrifying, but his ire is for the men who dared traffic women in his territory. He whisks me away to safety just as the sound of gunshots fills the air. But once I learn who this man is, I have to ask myself if I'm ready to step into a world of crime and danger. Is Saint worth upending my whole life? Does he even want me for more than a few nights, or was he just playing at being a hero?
Saint
Being the president of a notorious motorcycle club comes with plenty of perks, but also a lot of headaches. One such headache is the man I followed to a seedy nightclub deep in Steel Rebels territory. I would have been content to grab my prey and leave if not for the vision of beauty who graces the stage shortly after my arrival. When I realize what's really happening at this club—what these scum dared to do in my territory—I decide it's time to remind the city who the Steel Rebels are and just what will happen if anyone crosses us. But first, I have to claim my winnings, and she's just as beautiful and sweet as she looked on stage, and even more terrified up close. The pull I feel for Jade is immense, but I refuse to traumatize her further. Instead, I take her home and offer her safe place to stay.
