I’m Decker “Venom” Pruitt - President for the Ankeny RBMC. I'm a fair man, but those who've crossed me know my retaliation is swift and lethal. Venom runs through my veins. After the army, all I needed was my club. Emotionally bankrupt, I had nothing to offer a woman. She wanted me to show her who I really was, but that was impossible. I was her worst nightmare. Two pink lines changed everything.

Tripping: When a player trips an opposing player with their stick, or uses their skate against the other player's skate, causing them to lose balance or fall and obstruct them from making their desired play. I’m Cameron McGregor, center for the Austin Amurs. Tripping is my penalty. I don’t set out to do it, but it still lands me two minutes in the box every time.

I’m Jordan Beck, goaltender for the Austin Amurs. Holding is my penalty. In my defense, if they get in my crease, they’re fair game. Hockey runs in my blood—literally. Four generations of NHL goaltender greats gives me damn near royalty status, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Living up to legends can be exhausting. It can also make it difficult to trust women and their motives.

People used to know me as Lucian Stone. I’m a cleaner for the Ankeny RBMC. Some would call me heartless, others might say I’m emotionless. They might be right, but I have two fingers for them. When I was young and thought I had the world by the tail, Lila Kellerman owned my heart. Once upon a time, we’d been that couple—the epitome of young love. Until one night it all went to shit. Gone were the boy with a full-ride scholarship for football and the girl with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. In their place was an ex-con and a dead girl.

Tests, life is full of them. The world is constantly trying see how much you can take before you break. Before you're no longer you. Before your world dissolves into nothing. How long you can persevere and overcome the endless obstacles. It's no secret that Big and I butt heads. It's no secret that I not only dislike my mother, I hate her, because she hates me. Can these people break me? Can they push me to the edge of insanity, ready to jump? Having moved in with Big, I was living the life I never even knew I wanted. Every day was filled with hope and love. Until it wasn't.

A knock at my door reveals a very pregnant woman. Good news: I’m not the father of her baby. Bad news: I am the father of the baby her sister is carrying. I’m the bad boy, rock star, playboy ice hockey star. I collect paychecks and shell out broken hearts. Now I’m collecting the storm of pregnancy hormones and shelling out foot rubs. How am I supposed to go from the hottest bachelor in the world… to being called ‘Dad’?

Taking care of my Sacred Sinner family has always been top priority. So when a group of unexpected visitors throw a wrench into our everyday lives, I can either roll with the punches or push back. Too bad things aren't always that black and white. Let's hope this isn't a huge mistake, Big already has enough on his plate. Warning: Contains adult language and sexual content.

Roses Are Red. Violets are blue. I hold the aces. The loser is you. My name is Rose, and I have a gift—call it a supreme “intuition”. I’m the last person that people would suspect of cheating - but cards are my game, and Vegas is my playground. What I’m doing might bend the law a little, but I dare them to prove it. Storm Montgomery thinks he’s got my number. He’s bound and determined to stop me. Fat chance. Except, now I’m running for my life, and he’s the only one who can save me.

According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends. Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We've been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut. She's hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.

Charlotte Waters came into my world unexpected - dirty, bruised, and broken. No matter how much I attempted to keep my distance, curiosity grew to know her story. Under my gaze she became a woman - wild and willing to love my black heart. I told myself to never trust men again for as long as I lived. Being sold by your mother’s druggie boyfriend does some damage, you know? So, when I meet Hawk McLean, a young man who hides his own unhappiness behind a cold veneer, I’m skeptical. I heal. I grow.

I’m Kristoffer Halvorson, right wing and team captain for the Austin Amurs. Roughing is my penalty. It’s not like I plan to do it, but hockey is a rough sport.

Life is simply life. It's unfair and sometimes cruel. I should know. Since the moment I first drew breath, I was an orphan. Unwanted. Unloved. The small blonde girl everyone picked on. My story isn't one of happiness, if that's what you're thinking. The person I love most in the world is gone. And in the darkness I've been reborn, into a person I don't recognize. Her name’s Rosie. In the beginning, when our love first began, that name meant something different. That’s when the light won, always overcoming the dark. Where hope and happiness flourished.

Yeah, so I found my girlfriend in bed with another man. It happens, even to famous star athletes like me. I’m not the kind of guy that lets that stuff bring him down. What do I do? Rebound. Simple. That’s how I meet Grace: Stunning, funny, wild in bed, and she enjoys the ‘no strings attached’ kind of thing. It’s almost too good to be true. That’s when I find out it really is…

You might not know me. I’m the baby of the Rawlings family, the princess, the daughter who came along later. I’m not like my older siblings, successful at everything they touch. My mother and father have provided me with every luxury as well as their unyielding love and support, but I’m not spoiled. I’m also not content. By example, my parents have shown me how love should be. I don’t know their past, and that doesn’t matter. I know what I’ve seen—two people devoted to one another.

Christmas is here, our first as a couple. With the Grinch to contend with, my new job, and an infant to care for, things aren’t all mistletoe and fa-la-la in the Sacred Sinners compound. There are bumps along the way, a few tears shed, and a bit of sisterly fun, too. I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I'm where I belong...madly in love with my biker and beyond excited to share this holiday season with those who mean the most to me...even if I want to kick them in the chestnuts every now and again.

Things are changing, the Sacred Sinners MC isn't what it used to be. Not like when I was growing up. Secrets of a dark past have unfolded. Now life isn't just about our survival anymore. It's about theirs...hers...and we can't let them down. A new journey I never saw coming has begun and I'm ready for the ride, consequences be damned.

Jennifer Cloud is sure of three things: Women are just as capable as men of catching a thief. Traveling back in time is not all fun, games, and vintage Italian leather grosgrain shoes. And saving the woman who turned your life upside down can get you killed....
