The Coast: Series by Eve R. Hart

Chris We used to be friends. He used to laugh with me. Smile at me. Talk to me. One day we were fine, and the next it was like I didn't exist to him. I was hurt and confused as to what I'd done. I wanted to fix it, but couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't the type of person to dwell on things and let them get me down. I was pretty happy with the way my life had turned out so far. I was living on the beach, surfing every morning, and I had a great circle of friends... moreChris We used to be friends. He used to laugh with me. Smile at me. Talk to me. One day we were fine, and the next it was like I didn't exist to him. I was hurt and confused as to what I'd done. I wanted to fix it, but couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't the type of person to dwell on things and let them get me down. I was pretty happy with the way my life had turned out so far. I was living on the beach, surfing every morning, and I had a great circle of friends. So It shouldn't have mattered if Ky wanted to turn his back on me. I tried to let go, but it seemed like the universe was intent on pushing us together. I only hoped that I could crack his armor and that he would let me in one day. Ky I'd learned that in life one moment can force a change on you. One scene. One glimpse at a person's true self. One flash of surprise. It can wake you up. Make you change your course. Play tricks on your mind. Chris. There were so many things about him that were lovable. He was sweet, kind, caring, and funny. He was laid-back but at the same time, overly thoughtful. He was also the thing that scrambled my brain and had me turned upside down and backward. I wanted to push him away- and I tried. But then another one of those moments came crashing into my life. Leaving me no choice but to be close to the man I had spent weeks doing my best to get out of my head. less

B-ry This life wasn’t easy. I never expected it to be. I grew up knowing what it was like to be part of the club and I was proud to wear my patch and my colors. Being the Enforcer was my life. I thought that my life was complete. I had my brothers. I had a purpose. I had everything I could ever imagine. Which included any woman I wanted for as long or as little as I wanted her. Then one woman came barreling into my life out of nowhere and knocked me off my feet... moreB-ry This life wasn’t easy. I never expected it to be.

I had a purpose. I had everything I could ever imagine. Which included any woman I wanted for as long or as little as I wanted her. Then one woman came barreling into my life out of nowhere and knocked me off my feet. She wasn’t someone I should have touched. But despite all the warning signs, I couldn’t seem to help myself. I hated her as much as I loved her. It wasn’t until she was taken from me that I realized I had been the one that messed it all up. And I feared that I’d never get the chance to fix it. Laurel I had the perfect life ahead of me. I would never want for anything and I knew it would be easy. I really had nothing to complain about. Until this biker boy stepped into my path and pulled the rug right out from under me. And that began my fall from the woman that had everything to one that had nothing. It seemed that he was determined to stay in the background of my life while I figured out how to stand on my own. Only the more he was around, the harder I fell. Which wasn’t good because I was more like his dirty little secret than anything else. He made my blood boil with rage and lust. It was an addicting combination. But none of that mattered when I found myself caught up in something that I didn’t even think I was a part of and realized that there was no way to escape. less

Cable I was the club nerd. I didn’t see any sense in trying to deny it. And most of the time that was how I felt the most useful. Only, I was at a loss and hitting brick walls everywhere I turned. I wasn’t able to help my club out when they needed it the most. There was chaos all around and I wasn’t sure if there would be an end in sight. Kill the bad guy. Save the girls. That was the number one goal. Only, I forgot about everything else the moment I saw her in that room... moreCable I was the club nerd. I didn’t see any sense in trying to deny it.

Only, I forgot about everything else the moment I saw her in that room. That was the moment she put her mark on my soul. I only let her go because I had to. But the day would come when I would make her see that she was mine. Claire My life had been anything but easy. I blamed some of that on myself because I was forever making the wrong choices. But I was always able to pull myself out of them and I was lucky enough to have someone that was there for me every time I realized my mistake. Until I got myself into something I couldn’t get out of. I fell into Hell and couldn’t claw my way out. And what was worse, there were other’s I was helpless to save as well. less

Mouse Ever wonder if you’ll get anything in your life right? Well, that was how I’d felt for a while now. Life was pretty good, nothing too exciting and the days seemed to blend together. That was until Ky told me that his sister was coming back— coming home. The world sort of seemed to stand still for a few seconds then, and I couldn’t even tell you why. It had been two years since I’d seen her. A lot can change in two years... moreMouse Ever wonder if you’ll get anything in your life right? Well, that was how I’d felt for a while now.

The world sort of seemed to stand still for a few seconds then, and I couldn’t even tell you why. It had been two years since I’d seen her. A lot can change in two years. She stole my breath away the moment she walked back into my life and she was no longer a girl. Nope. Not by a long shot. I hadn’t expected the feelings to hit me like they did, and try as I might, I fought them hard. There was only so much strength I had in me though. She was Ky’s little sister and I knew better than to do that to a brother. Only, the collision of her coming back into my life lit a spark that was impossible to ignore. I had no clue how I was going to make this work but every part of my soul was ready to fight to the death if need be. Because there was no way around it, Ingram was made for me. Ingram I was finally going home. I couldn’t have been happier. It was time to start my life as I wanted it and show my son what it was like to be around family. Ky and Chris had been amazing and I was excited to be living with them until I got on my feet. Mouse had been there when I’d been most scared. It had been two years since I’d seen his face and I could admit that I missed it. There was something that felt right when I was around him, something different than what had been there before. Only, he kept turning his back on me every time I tried to get closer. There was only so much someone could take, Right? less

Charming I cared about her more than I should have. Abigail. Dade’s little sister and sweetest woman I’d ever known. But it was that first part that held me back. When I finally got the courage to man up, life threw another curveball. All it took was one thing to snap me out of it. One stupid kiss to one of my brothers who was also my best friend. So, I told her everything— well, almost everything... moreCharming I cared about her more than I should have. Abigail. Dade’s little sister and sweetest woman I’d ever known.

One stupid kiss to one of my brothers who was also my best friend. So, I told her everything— well, almost everything. She wasn’t shy about her curiosity and knowing that Blade cared about her just as much as I did, I figured why make her choose when we could give her everything? Abigail I could admit that I often got crushes on the club members. It never mattered though because they all saw me as a little sister. Life got turned upside down in the blink of an eye and suddenly, I had two big protectors that watched me from the background. They were always there but in different ways. One was sweet and comforting. The other was silent and strong. They didn’t ask me to choose, so why would I? But then I learned the truth of what they’d been hiding from me and I didn’t think I’d ever be able to trust the club again. less

Mason I had two things goin’ in my life, my son and my club. I didn’t think I needed anything else. Or if I did, I didn’t have the time for it. That was until she moved in next door and started planting all those silly flowers. The girl that smiled all the time. But I didn’t think she liked me much. It bugged me to no end that I couldn’t figure out why. It shouldn’t have really mattered because not only was I too old for her, but I knew I’d only end up crushing her pretty little world... moreMason I had two things goin’ in my life, my son and my club.

I should have known that those excuses would only last me so long. The girl that surrounded herself with sunshine and rainbows was it for me. Ryan Wake up with a smile and make every moment count. That was how I liked to face each day. I had to admit that it was hard to do with my rude neighbor waking me up at odd hours of the night. But I still put a smile on my face even as I cursed him in my head. Then I met him. I quickly realized that Mason Thorne was not the dreadful man I made him out to be in my head. And that he was going to show me that good girls can be dirty. less

BladeI never felt like I was a part of anything before. Most days, I still felt that way.I had enough going on with the club and the ink shop. Never felt the need to make time for anything more than a little fun. I wasn’t the kind of man that any woman needed in their life. I didn’t like to talk. Wasn't one for sharing what was on my mind. And I didn’t want to change that.I'd like to tell you that meeting her changed all of that, but it didn't... moreBladeI never felt like I was a part of anything before.

I was set in my ways and if she didn’t like it then she could get lost.Except, I couldn't get her out of my head.And whenever she was around, things never seemed to go right.I should have walked away.Should have forgotten all about her.But it was kind of hard to do when she was so close all the time.It made it worse knowing there was something she was hiding. I didn't like not knowing all the answers.So, despite what I should have done, I kept going back. Kept hanging around in the shadows watching her.Kept waiting for the day she’d realize she was mine. less

SketchI wasn’t smart. I hadn’t had the best kind of life. I was messed up in the head, though I tried my hardest to hide it. I was happy just having a permanent roof over my head and a place to sleep other than the floor.I had that now but that didn’t mean I wasn’t always afraid that it would be taken away in the blink of an eye. I did my best to make my club proud.But somehow I’d failed recently.I’d tried to save my past and my club at the same time... moreSketchI wasn’t smart. I hadn’t had the best kind of life.
