Arthur

<p>Arthur<br>I worked hard to get where I am today by crawling up from the bottom. These days I'm a well-respected businessman with his life together. I have three brothers who I've practically raised alongside my hardworking mother and I'm in the heart of the community helping the most vulnerable.<br>But there's another side one only the darkest depths of society know. I keep order on my streets by removing the threats and working alongside the local MC to ensure life around here runs smoothly.<br>Amelia Maverick is sister to the club's President and she's like a shiny new toy attracting my attention with her big smile and loud mouth. Only I see beyond the bravado to the broken soul hidden from the world. And like a moth to the flame I'm drawn in by the sadness in her eyes.<br>I'll do anything to make her mine and when someone comes along to threaten it all I want to set the world alight . . . but it's Meli who comes to my rescue and I'm left wondering who's saving who.<br><br>Meli<br>Growing up in The Perished Riders MC was hard for me. I'm the one who shines above the rest sparkling so bright that I attract the wrong sort. I was thirteen years old when my dad's VP took an interest in me and he left lifelong scars that I hide with flirting partying and a careless attitude.<br>Since then I've been spiraling out of control waiting for someone to catch me.<br>I didn't expect that someone to be Arthur Taylor. Businessman by day and gangster by night he sees through the smoke and mirrors to the vulnerable woman I am.<br>I try to tell him I'm no good that falling for me would be a mistake but he ignores my warnings. What he doesn't understand is I'm trying to protect my heart because good things never work out for me.<br>And when someone takes an interest in Arthur my worst fears are confirmed. Now I must fight for the man I love and prove I'm worth loving back . . . but how can I do that when I don't believe it?</p>
