Pyro (Hades Abyss MC 10, Mississippi Chapter)
Roe -- I needed a fresh start. My dad is Hades Abyss, Missouri, so he decided to send me to his brothers in Mississippi. I thought things would be different here. Until I end up in trouble and scared to death. Sometimes it’s the people you least expect who stab you in the back. I don’t know if I’ll make it out of this one alive.
Pyro -- My past has caught up to me. Now Roe is in danger, and I want to set the world on fire. Once I find her, none of the bastards responsible are getting out of there alive. I’ll show them exactly how I got my name…
Stitches (Devil’s Fury MC 13)
Marci -- My sister and her boyfriend were my entire world until Laura died. I’ve lived in hell thanks to my brother. Now Stitches is back. I always thought of him as an older brother, so why does he suddenly seem so sexy?
Stitches – When I lost my woman and daughter, I walked away. If I’d kept in touch, I’d have known Marci was in trouble. It never occurred to me I’d end up falling for her. Anyone who’s hurt her will pay with their lives.

"A deeply emotional, sinfully intoxicating and thrilling roller coaster ride to go on with Pyro and Roe. Be prepared to laugh, cry and sit on the edge of your seat wondering what will come next. Pryo knew what he wanted and went for it full force but at the same time gave Roe the time and space to accept him. I truly enjoyed, loved and adored this story."

"Stitches’ story was such a treat! They all are of course but sometimes a surprise twist makes these books really shine! Tough subject matter very well written. She needed Stitches to patch heart and soul…. and reunite her with her missing children. Twists and turns and retribution keep you on the edge the entire story! Another superb addition to this series!"

"Harley Wylde did it once again. More of the Devis Fury, starring Stitches and Marci. Marci was a past life Stitches wasn’t prepared to deal with. But once confronted with it, he was determined to make things right. As far as the Devils Fury goes I’m glad to see them moving forward as a club Without all the drama and separation between the brothers! This book was outstanding, and I highly recommend anybody reading. I finished it in one setting, because I couldn’t put it down!"

"Yet another 5 star book from Harley Wylde. Loved Stitches. He needed to find his hea. Couldn't wait to find out his story. And it didn't disappoint. Two lost souls finally found each other. Through hardship and all. This book can be read as a stand alone, but it's better when read in order."

Excerpt from Stitches
Stitches
Present Day
I couldn’t believe Ram had returned to the Devil’s Fury. Although, the biggest surprise had been the women and teens he’d brought with him. Each had suffered horribly, and I’d given them some space the first week. Badger had agreed they would be too skittish for me to attempt giving them an exam. It wasn’t the first time I’d used my medical knowledge for the sake of my brothers or their women. Now I was on the last woman, and nothing could have prepared me to come face-to-face with Marci again. Now all grown up and looking more haunted than any woman should. It had been ten years since I’d last seen her, which meant she was in her early twenties now. My stomach twisted. How the hell had she gotten mixed up in all this? And why hadn’t I known? I had so many questions.
She wouldn’t look at me. Couldn’t say I blamed her. If it weren’t for me knocking up her sister, Laura might have still been alive. I might not have liked their brother, Richard, but I’d thought he would at least make sure Marci had a decent life. I hadn’t seen a single poster around town about her being missing. Not a peep on the local news or radio. How long ago had she been kidnapped?
“Marci, do you remember me?” I asked, keeping my voice low and even, not wanting to startle her.
She still wouldn’t acknowledge me. She rocked slightly as she stared at the floor. I wasn’t sure if she needed a medical exam right now. A psychiatrist would probably be better for her. I knew some of the women in the club had spoken to one before. And Ram might not have a degree or license but did well with that sort of thing. Would he be able to coax something from her? Even a few words would help. I didn’t know if she was in pain, hungry, or what the hell she needed right now.
Why the fuck did they have me walk in here while Marci was alone? The fact a man came into the apartment probably scared the shit out of her. Then again, if the others were like her, I doubted they’d have been much comfort right now. I wished one of the old ladies had joined me for this. But if they had, and Marci acknowledged me, then I’d have to explain how I knew her. No one knew about Laura or our daughter, Rose, and I intended to keep it that way if at all possible. Some things weren’t meant to be shared, and that was a pain that was mine alone to bear.
“The last time I saw you, you were starting high school. Even though we live in a small town, not once have I run into you or your brother, Richard.” Marci flinched when I said her brother’s name. My nape prickled and I inched a little closer. Did that asshole Richard have something to do with her being here now? Was he to blame for what happened to Marci? If so, I’d bury the fucker! “You know, I couldn’t face you when Laura died. I called Richard…”
She flinched again and whimpered. Her rocking increased. I didn’t need a verbal response from her. Her actions alone spoke volumes. I’d have to ask Outlaw to find him for me, which meant I’d have to tell at least one person I knew Marci and how we were connected. I took the risk of moving even closer to her and went down on one knee in front of her. She froze, her eyes slowly focusing on me. Once she seemed to come back to herself a little, her eyes filled with tears, and she flung herself into my arms.
“I’ve got you, Marci. Everything will be fine now.” I rubbed her back and held her tight, letting her soak my cut and tee with her tears. When her cries quieted, I stood and lifted her into my arms. I hesitated to take her to the bedroom she’d been using. I felt like I needed to get her out of the apartment. The more she cried, the more urgent it felt to get her somewhere I could make her feel safe. Clearly, this wasn’t it.
Instead, I found myself carrying her outside and walking to my house. Thank goodness I didn’t live at the back of the compound. I managed to let myself in without setting her down or dropping her, then took her straight to the living room. Easing her down onto the couch, I smoothed her hair back from her face.
“This is my house. You’ll be safe here, all right?”
She gave me a slight nod, then curled into the corner of the couch. I went back to close and lock the door. As I twisted the bolt into place, I stared at it. In all the years I’d lived here, not once had I locked my door. For the first time in ten years, I had someone to protect, and this time I’d do a better job of it.
Marci was no longer the teenager who’d brightly smiled at me and asked a million questions about what it was like to be part of a motorcycle club. She’d grown into a beautiful woman. The thought of her being abused made me grind my teeth. She should have had a loving home, a ton of friends, and been away at college right now. Instead, she’d been tossed into hell, most likely by her brother.
When I got back to the living room, she’d closed her eyes but wasn’t quite asleep. She peeked at me, letting me know she was aware of her surroundings. It was an improvement over how I’d found her.
“How old are you now, Marci? Twenty-two? Twenty-three?” I asked.
“I don’t know. I lost track of time.”
I tried to hold in my anger over the situation so I wouldn’t scare her. For her to make such a statement meant she’d been with Vega’s men for a while. Or possibly someone before them.
“Then can you tell me what happened? Last I heard, your brother was going to take you in until you were old enough to make it on your own.” Her lower lip trembled, and she picked at her fingernails. I reached over to place my hand over hers. “No one here will hurt you, Marci. I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you.”
Again, I silently added, because I damn sure felt responsible right now. If I’d kept in touch or checked up on her, would this have happened?
