The past and present collide at The Black Stetson. Tunnel vision might damn him. Just released from prison, all Brooks Baxter wants is a stiff drink, a willing woman, and long-overdue vengeance. He knows the last one can destroy his newly found freedom, but he’d been robbed of a decade of life already. He will extract payment at all costs. Not running might just save her. Billie isn’t really living. More like biding her time until she can take her niece and run. They need—deserve—a real life, one far away from the clutches of her abusive brother and his poser MC friends. The line between salvation and damnation isn’t always clear. \\\This is a different version than appeared in Sinful Secrets.*

When the ghosts of the past live rent-free in a man’s heart, there’s no room for anyone else. For Nick “Thunder” Taylor, flying and the military meant everything. When life took an unexpected turn, he replaced one Hawg with another, embracing the brotherhood he found with the Phantoms. However, burying his past doesn’t mean it won’t come back to haunt him. After he patched in, Thunder had an unforgettable encounter with an amazing woman only for her to ghost him. Three years later, he’s outraged when she walks into his clubhouse and pretends the whole thing never happened. Now he’s torn between discovering her game or playing a more pleasurable one with her. Either way, she’s not going to right her skirt, say thanks, and just walk away again.

Christmas past invades Christmas present, and it changes the future. Christofer “Trip” Adams lost his heart ten years ago. As a result, he refused to form attachments until he joined the brotherhood of the Desert Phantoms MC. Through the years, he’s only loved one woman, no matter his reputation. When he’s caught in a solo moment by that very woman, he’s torn between kicking her out into the snow to freeze or kissing her senseless to stoke the fire that still smolders between them. When Trip realizes his sister set him up to settle his unfinished business with his first love, he thinks this year might end his decade-long bad holiday streak. But another ghost of Christmas past comes back to haunt him, unwrapping a secret that can destroy them all. When the season is over, will it be another holiday curse or a Christmas miracle? If you've only read about Trip & JJ in the AVNMCC anthology, you don't know the half of it. Multiple bonus scenes added and questions answered.

Reno, Nevada, may be the biggest little city in the world, but is it big enough for Joseph “Pound” Blackwell and two ghosts from his past? The second the club secretary’s sister is taken, Pound makes an uncharacteristic knee-jerk decision and claims her. He thinks the biggest hurdle to overcome is her brother’s reaction… boy is he wrong. The Phantoms expect a fight to bring Meri home. What they don’t expect is who they’re fighting and a disconcerting ally who can change the course of Pound’s future. By the time the dust settles, the Desert Phantoms’ vice president will either be hitched to the woman of his dreams, or he’ll be the most miserable SOB on two wheels. Can three chickens, two ten-year-olds, and one Elvis be the key to his happily ever after?
