Dregs

A desperate woman in search of her missing sister. A wounded ex-soldier who is her only hope…Enslaved. Tortured. Experimented on. My memory wiped clean, and my mind sculpted to follow every command, I was trained in the art of war. Part human. Part beast. The ultimate killing machine.Then I escaped, fleeing with a bounty on my head.Now I am a creature of the night, finding refuge in an underground maze in the woods.Then she appears, seeking my help. Gorgeous and feisty with a warrior's courage and a kind heart, she is everything I want but can never have.Her sister is lost in a violent city overrun by criminal gangs, and no one is willing to risk their lives to save her.Except for me.I am a tracker, a weapon designed to hunt. I have nothing to lose.This is a chance to redeem myself and find purpose beyond the darkness.I won't fail her. This is why I was created.This is who I am.The Tracker.

She's my daughter's new nanny. I'm a prime killing machine. She might think she's safe with me. But she's not.I committed the ultimate betrayal.All to protect an innocent. My five-year-old daughter.Now I am an outsider. Cast aside. Hiding in the shadows.My dreg brothers don't trust me anymore. Some even want me dead.That is the least of my worries.My kid needs me to take care of her. But I am just a wounded soldier, not a father.I place an ad for a nanny. The woman who responds is gorgeous and kind and pure temptation.My daughter loves her. And I, too, am falling under her spell.Both the females in my life don't know who or what I am.My mere presence puts them at risk.Now someone is hunting me.And I am forced to become what I don't want to be. Something more dangerous than any human.The Phantom of Death.But if I am to survive this hell, I'll need more than my fighting skills. I'll need my dreg brothers. The very ones who cast me aside.Will they come to my aid-or will they turn a blind eye and leave me to rot?

I broke a rule to help a woman in need. I wanted to be her hero. And now it's going to cost me...I broke a cardinal rule the day I gave Alissa Drake my phone number. Now I've put myself and all my dreg brothers at risk.But how can I ignore a woman in danger? She calls to me like no other. Stunning on the outside, shattered underneath. The pain in her damaged soul mirrors mine.For her, I want to break the rules. To change the world. My world. And make it ours.But I can heal only physical wounds. Not a battered heart.Now the dominoes are falling. One by one.My dreg partner is missing. Our safety is at stake.The gangs are closing in. And the clock is ticking.If I am going to be her hero, I must go back to the life I fled.And become the killer I was trained to be.

She wants the bounty on my head. I want one night with no limits. Can we reach an agreement that will benefit us both?Discharged.As a soldier that was the thing I dreaded most. Fighting and killing were my life. What I did best.But they cast me aside like a bag of trash. Condemned me to die.Now I am just a dreg.I no longer have purpose. My mind is withering. Action is what I need. Violence. War. I thrive in chaos, my talents honed on its edge.Then a gorgeous redhead tricks me. Takes me as her captive. Now I am chained like a beast with no way out. She has dared to take on the Smuggler. One slip and I will escape and make her pay. There will be utter carnage.But suddenly, I am freed. And the tables have turned. Now she's my prisoner, compelled to do my bidding. The challenge in her eyes calls to me. A fever rushing in my veins.I can't lose this battle. I won't let her win. I will show her what the Smuggler can do.Because losing means she's taken something I don't want to admit I ever had.A heart.

She's the daughter of a powerful gang leader. I'm the unsuspecting dreg who finds her hiding in my truck. Does she need my help…or is she there to kill me?I am the only person in the world who can communicate with anyone, anytime, anywhere. In any language. Because I have the ability to learn a new dialect in mere seconds.Yet, when I discover a feisty Asian beauty hiding in the bed of my truck, words fail me. For once, the linguist is speechless.She's tiny. Exquisite. A warrior. And I can't look away.Until she reveals the truth: Her father is the leader of one of the most powerful gangs in Augusta. The Black Dragons.Is she too a member of the gang? Is she setting me up? I need answers. And she's keeping her secrets.Now I am the target, and she is the prize.The gangs are coming for us.They want her. I need her.This time, my language skills won't save me.But giving her up is not in my vocabulary.

She's on the hunt for the truth. I'm trying to keep her in the dark. What will happen if she discovers I'm the man who killed her father?My dreg name is The Hacker. I steal secrets. I can slip through any firewall, decrypt any document, hack any electronic device. Nothing is safe from me.So when someone is researching me, I take notice.The senator's daughter is on to me. An investigative reporter hunting for the truth about her father's death, Shannon's an unstoppable force. She knows The Hacker was involved.Unable to resist her pull, I dare her to find me, leaving a trail of crumbs for her to follow.She takes the bait.I now have two choices: Scare her away. Or reveal the truth.Something about Shannon makes my heart quiver. Her boldness and courage speak to the warrior in me. Her beauty stops me in my tracks.But how far will she go for her story?If I allow her into my life, she can destroy me and my dreg brothers.But if I let her go, I will lose my only chance at love.

She rocks the sexy nerd look. And catches me off guard. Has the player finally met his match?No woman can resist me. Cocky is my middle name.A fierce dreg in a warzone, I use the gentlest of ways to extract information. Seduction.Until I meet Liz.Her quiet beauty and inner strength call to me.She's not my type, yet I'm the one who can't resist her.But she doesn't want me back. She despises me on sight. She is immune to me.I lay a trap to friend-zone her, and she gets ensnared, trusting me little by little.Now my heart is on the line. How does a player show he's changed? How do I convince her she's the only one I want?Then a cunning mastermind intercepts my plans. He has an agenda of his own: steal my girl and see me dead.Now it is a race against time to win this twisted game.Will I be able to save her life without losing mine?

Her mission is to eliminate me. I'm half-inclined to let her. But we are connected in a way neither of us can ignore....Damaged. Broken.Words I never thought I would associate with myself.Until The Controller got a hold of me.Now I am a mere shell of the man I once was. The Controller's insidious pull still a poison in my veins.Not wanting my dreg brothers to see me this way, I hide out in a small cabin in the woods.But the loneliness gets to me, and I crave a woman's warm body and gentle touch.Anyone will do.Until my eyes clash with the gorgeous and sexy bartender at the Northern Pike.And I'm hit with a startling truth: she's just like me.Can she be the one to heal me?How am I to know she will bring the danger back into my life? Or that she will turn my world upside down?But now it's too late.The Controller is back.And this time, he's not letting me go.
