The New Blue Dragon Ink Denver, Colarado“So.” Zoe Parish leaned back, switched the tattoo gun to her left hand, flexed her right hand and fingers, grabbed her water bottle. “You need a break, Elle?”“Yes, please,” Elle said. “Maybe some more water?”“I’ll get it, baby.” Liam ‘Viking’ Callahan got to his feet and dropped a tiny kiss on Elle’s dark head. “You just relax and take a breath, huh?”“Thanks,” she said, then gingerly stood up and did a small side-bend. The tattoo on her back was almost done: this was the last of four sessions, and Elle fought down the wild urge to catch a peek at it in the parlour mirror. She resisted, though, because she wanted to see it in all its glory, done and vibrant, all traces of that horrible, disgusting word that Gideon had marked into her skin gone. She knew that that repulsive slur was still there, of course, under Zoe’s gorgeous design. It would always be there, but Elle also knew that she could take something ugly and make it beautiful. She w

“Well,” Zoe said. “I did propose to you, so I figure I’ve done the heavy lifting… the rest is up to you, handsome.”“OK,” Scars said. “So – tomorrow?”“Wh – what?” Zoe stared up at him, completely shocked. “Tomorrow?”“Yep. Tomorrow.” Scars narrowed those incredible eyes at her. “You busy?”“I – I –” Zoe floundered madly. “But I haven’t – I’m not – I don’t have –”“Just kidding, baby,” Scars said, taking pity on her. “But I have an idea for a wedding date, and I want to talk to you about it after you guys finish, OK?”Zoe nodded, weirdly disappointed that she wasn’t marrying him tomorrow after all. She wasn’t a very traditional woman, after all, so she’d have been totally fine with an impromptu, quick-as-a-flash City Hall wedding, with her wearing jeans and holding a bouquet of wildflowers. But she was actually surprised at how much she wanted her daughter to be her adorable little flower girl, and for Wolf to walk her down the aisle and give her away, and for Jo and Elle and Willa t

Bellefonte, PennsylvaniaThe Next DayBriley stood in the middle of the living room, staring around, completely enraptured. The house was better than she’d dared to imagine, bigger than it had looked in the photos, closer to the mountain range than she’d thought. All the surveys and certificates were in order, and although she’d have to do some painting and refresh the tiling on the backsplash in the kitchen, she could literally walk in tomorrow and live here. The price was well below what she was selling her place in Utah for, so she had some wriggle room for decoration and buying furniture, and she’d still have some savings in her bank account for emergencies.In a word, it was perfect. Totally, utterly perfect.“What do you think, babe?” Dux asked her. “Pretty damn good, right?”“No kidding it’s good,” Drake chimed in. “If you don’t buy it, darlin’, I might just snap it up myself.”“So!” The property agent came in from making a call in the backyard and twinkled at Briley, her gaze

Salt Lake City, UtahThe Highway Hellions MC ClubhouseHal ‘Crusher’ Alcott threw the tiny skirt at the drunk blonde that he’d just brutally fucked.“Jesus fuck, bitch,” he snarled. “Can you move any fucking slower? I said, get out of here. You’ve been useful in the only way that counts with your skank cunt, and I want your ass out of this room now.”She bent over to retrieve the skirt, tottered on her sky-high high heels, and fell down to the floor with a moan. Enraged at being disobeyed by a worthless club pass-around, Crusher leapt to his feet, launched himself at her. With one massive hand, he grabbed her by her slim throat and lifted her straight up and off the floor. Automatically, helplessly, her two hands went to his one, tugging and pulling at it, desperate to draw breath.“What. Did. I. Say,” he hissed into her contorted face that was slowly turning violet. Still with just one hand, he turned and slammed her back against the wall, her feet dangling and kicking a good four fe

Right-Guardian Michael looked at his old high school buddy and felt nothing but relief and a sense of familiarity. The men hadn’t actually seen in other in almost two years, but that didn’t matter at all. That was how it was with true friends; friends who had had each other’s backs through thick and thin and all the crap in between.Hal Alcott had always been a hulking motherfucker, and he’d quite appropriately gone to a major college on a full-ride football scholarship. His parents had died halfway through his first year, though, so right away and without any hesitation, Hal had started some lousy factory job and taken care of his kid sister Shay. He’d given up a lot to keep the two of them together, and from what Michael had seen first-hand, he’d done pretty damn well. Then the canning factory has gone bust, and soon after that Hal had been recruited by The Highway Hellions; that was when he’d pretty much disappeared from Michael’s social circle. Oh, he’d run across Hal sometimes o
