Iris

Six months after testifying against a powerful drug lord and sending him to prison, I’m settled into my new life in Las Vegas, working as a bartender at the exclusive, members-only casino, Elysium. I love my job, and I’m starting to make friends for the first time in my life, but I’m still lonely, waiting for my white knight to sweep me off my feet and carry me into the sunset. Sure, I might be a hopeless romantic, but I know my knight is real. I even know what he looks like. Ghost is a member of the Steel Sinners, the MC that owns and operates Elysium. I don’t catch sight of him often, but when I do, he takes my breath away. I’m desperate for him to approach me and far too shy and inexperienced to make the first move myself. I figure it’s hopeless, that is until the night my past life finds me and it’s Ghost who comes to my rescue with promises of protection and safety. But even white knights aren’t invincible, and I’m afraid I’m putting mine at greater risk the longer I stay with him. Leaving will break my heart, but it might be my only choice.

Ghost

I’m not what anyone would call a good man. My past is riddled with darkness and bad decisions. Years ago, I was set on a downward spiral into the bottom of a bottle until Pope found me and set me on a better path. Las Vegas and the Steel Sinners has been my second chance, but I’ll admit I haven’t fully embraced it. I’m holding back, still plagued by the mistakes of my old life. So when I see the beautiful woman with vibrant blue eyes, I know I have to keep my distance no matter how much it pains me. But I watch her; I can’t help it. She sees me too; Iris looks at me with a desire I can’t let myself answer. She deserves better than me, but I can’t look away. So I see it when her bright smile dims and falls. I see it when fear makes her body tremble. The moment it happens, I’m moving without thought, ready to do whatever it takes to chase the shadows from her eyes. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it means embracing my inner darkness. Iris is mine.
