Griffin: Bad Boy MMA Romance


Ashley Hall - 2016
    The last thing I need is some bad boy adrenaline junkie who can’t keep his hands to himself. So why does the sight of this guy make me want to drop to my knees? This guy could practically snap me with those massive arms and his double-wide hands. It’s primal. It’s disgusting. So why do I want it? He makes headlines with his strong fists and fast women. He discards everyone and everything. I’m a smart girl—too smart to set myself up. So why am I dying for him to knock me down? Griffin She’s just another clean-cut girl hoping to piss off daddy by bringing a bruiser like me around. Still, I’d like to see that uptight little suit on my bedroom floor. She thinks she’s smarter than me. I wanna take her down a notch. In fact, I wanna take her all the way down. A girl like that is just aching to be broken by a man like me. She seems so pure, so untouched—more likely to curl up with a book than a man. But we’ll see how much she feels like reading after I’m behind her with a fistful of that gorgeous hair. Go ahead, sweetheart. Roll those beautiful eyes and use that condescending tone on me. Soon enough you’ll be tapping out.

Ellen Harper - 2016

I traded in the good knight’s shining armor for a leather jacket, black as sin. And I swore to myself I’d never try to save a girl again. Years later, I haven’t looked back. I just accepted the presidency of the Renegade Saints MC. It ain’t exactly an easy gig, and some might say my life expectancy just got a fair bit shorter. But I like this living thing. I intend to stick around. That means I need to keep my head in the game. At first, I do just that. But then comes Victoria, daughter of the former president, with bruises on her wrists and an abusive boyfriend hot on her trail. Nothing gets my blood boiling like a man who lays his hands on a woman. Those old, dormant instincts flare up, and before I know it, I’m saying things I never expected to say again. Things like: "I’ll take care of you." "You’re safe here." And, craziest of all… "Marry me." I brought her into my world to protect her. But as things get bloodier, it looks like I might've done just the opposite. I might have damned us both.
