    Desperate Beginnings **Desperate Beginnings is the prequel to the Ravens Ruin MC Series, helping to explain why the club is the way is. It's not much of a romance, but a segue into the romantic suspense series.** I don’t realize I’m the monster in this story until the rope is already snug around my neck. Every order, every move, every attempt to make things better only dig my grave a little deeper. Until this point in my life, I’d fought, killed, and bled to build my club, to prove to my son what kind of man was needed to lead Ravens Ruin MC. Who could’ve predicted that he’d be a bigger monster than I ever dreamed? 2. Sins of the Father I didn’t want the legacy of leading my father’s MC. I didn’t want to be him. I didn’t want to feel soul-deep attraction to the girl my sister brought home from school. But, we don’t always control our destinies, do we? As the new President of the Ravens Ruin MC, I had a list of changes that needed to be made for the club. The same woman in my bed night after night wasn’t on that list. Yet, here I am, sheets tangled, skin smelling like hers, and a devious smile on my face. 3. Luck of the Devil I'm good enough to protect her. I'm good enough to die for her. But, I'm not good enough to touch her? I may be the Vice President of the Ravens Ruin MC, but her brother, the President, has given all of us orders that she's off-limits. It's for the best, really. The demons in my past love to play with pretty little girls like her. 4. Dancing with the Devil I thought leaving her in that room covered in her attacker’s blood would teach her a lesson. I thought she’d be more careful about her safety. Little did I know that she’s seeking the pain and humiliation. Well, it’s her lucky day, because pain is sort of my thing. I can hurt her much more than she’s able to hurt herself. The twist is we’ll both enjoy every second of it.
