I was eight years old when I found out I had a father. It was the same day I held my dead mother in my arms while praying her life wasn't really over. I was dropped into the middle of a new family not long after that. My dad, his wife, and their two kids to be exact. My new brother was ten years old and my sister was five. It doesn't take a genius to figure out I wasn’t supposed to be there. My family ended up bigger than that though. My dad was a member of the Aces High Motorcycle Club. From the very beginning I was ostracized because of who my mother had been. The daughters of club members were generally known as MC Princesses. My little sister was one. My title was a bit different, and proved that my mom's sins would always be held against me. I was The Other Princess. My family, both by blood and MC ties, did wrong by me so I walked away from them. That was until he came home from the Army. He tried to fix everything. He tried to win an unattainable heart that had shut down years earlier. I would know since it was my heart he was after. He didn't realize it would take a miracle. Secretly, I hoped I could still believe in miracles. \*Note: The Aces High Charleston Series should be read in order. While each book revolves around different members of the Aces High MC Family, they all follow along a timeline that will lead to spoilers if you skip around. They do not have to be read in any particular order with Aces High Books from other chapters (Dakotas, Cedar Falls, etc.) Book 1: The Other Princess (available now) Coming in 2019: Book 2: A Love So Hard Book 3: The Princess & the Prospect Book 4: The Killing Ride Book 5: A Twist of Fate The Charleston Chapter Series of the Aces High MC Franchise deals heavily with internal family themes, and is not your typical MC against MC with romance thrown in book. This is a family drama. The family just so happens to live and breathe bikes and the MC lifestyle. The only things blown up in this book will be a few hearts. ;) You have been warned! This is a full length novel at over 80,000 words for the story (not counting preview chapters for the next book).

\*Be sure to read the author's note for a special announcement! This is book 2 in the Aces High MC - Charleston Series and this is a series that should be read in order. Lucy I fell in love with Charles “Double-D” Brothers when I was just 16 years old. He was 19 and had just patched into the Aces High MC in Charleston, SC. The falling in love part didn’t matter though, because our life – our love – wasn’t destined to be an easy one. Then again, nothing worth having ever is. In the beginning – I was too young, he was too wild, and my family was able to send me away to keep us apart. Later, when I was 20 and he was 23 our paths crossed again. This time he was the one ready for me, but I wasn’t quite there yet. I allowed the club whores and rumors to drive me away, and then I let my pride and more lies keep me away despite the secret I took with me. Double-D The perfect woman was out there waiting for me to find her – again. Twice I’d lost her now, and twice it had been avoidable. It’s a damn shame that life had a nasty habit of screwing me over because we were far from done with the roller coaster we’d been on so far. It didn’t matter though. The ride could keep on getting bumpier, and I’d never jump off. She was worth every single thing I had to endure just to feel her in my arms at the end of the day. If only I could keep her from running again… \*This is not an insta-love story. It’s the story of a lifetime. As with The Other Princes (Aces High MC - Charleston Book 1) this is a different book in the MC Romance sub-genre. It deals heavily with internal family issues and less with outside club vs club drama.

~Anna~ I was three weeks past my seventeenth birthday when I first saw him running like a dog, as prospects do, during a family club function. I knew he was far older than me since he’d served in the Army with my brother-in-law, Deck. He was definitely too old for me in the eyes of everyone else. I knew the rules, and I’d be breaking too many of them for this not to be trouble. He was a prospect, making him off-limits. I wasn’t even 18, making me off-limits. I was also a club princess, daughter of the Vice President of the Aces High MC - Charleston Chapter. That, more than anything else, made me off-limits. Still, I watched and waited for the moment when I could make myself unforgettable to him, because my heart had no limits, and it wanted Joker. ~Joker~ Prospecting for the MC was turning out to be a tougher gig than I had originally imagined. I wasn’t exactly known for taking blind orders well, or taking shit from anyone in my life, so undergoing prospect hazing was trying my last damn nerve. The never-ending line of patch-chasing females was sure to make the discomfort worth my wait. Then again, I wasn’t one to do easy conquests either. The shy cutie who had been staring at me all night from the corner seemed like just the challenge my worn down soul needed. She was a challenge all right. Nearly cost me everything in the end. Now, I’m stuck with a liar, an old lady, and one crazy-ass impending shotgun wedding.

J-Bird: I finally felt that itch to settle down that my parents and older brother, Deck, had been hounding me about. Lindsay Parker was the first girl to stir that itch in me. Which made it that much more unfortunate when she introduced me to her best friend, Christina. That girl blew me away the first day we met, but she would forever remain off limits because she would never betray her best friend even if I scraped Lindsay off first. So, I stuck it out with Lindsay and longed for her best friend for seven long months and the announcement that I was about to be a father. Then it all crashed down around me in the most literal sense possible along with the lies I'd been fed. There's an evil inside me that destroys the women who dare to love me. Never again, and especially not with the one I really wanted, needed, fell so hard for. I would spare her my curse, even if it killed me. Christina: I was in love with my best friend's man! It was getting harder to hide my feelings especially when I had to watch them cuddled up together. My feelings sent me running away to Savannah, Georgia. Sure, it wasn't far, but I moved in with my aunt to become her nanny while I suffered through blind date boredom on top of blind date disaster trying to find anyone who could make me forget the one man I couldn't have. It seemed to work until they came to visit to share their good news. I wish I could have been happy for my friend while she got everything I wanted. Instead, I smiled to her face and cursed the fates that night for her meeting him first. I wished I could go back and shove all that bitter resentment down, because by morning, I blamed myself for the ill wishes I had thrown into the universe. By morning, reality came crashing in, and it changed everything.The Killing Ride is book 4 of the Aces High MC - Charleston Series which you must read in order!There is no cheating in this book by the main characters.

I was going to have to put my faith, my life, in the hands of the people who had failed me so miserably for most of my life. I didn’t have a choice because his life was the one on the line now. I needed him back at any cost. Even if that meant I’d have to rely on them. Deck We had a few good years before it all went sideways.

Double-D I had already failed her as a father. Coming out of retirement was the only option though. I couldn’t go back and make her childhood right, but I could make sure she got her happily ever after, or I’d die trying.
