I'm quiet by nature. A good girl at heart.

But the harsh world I grew up in forced me to get tough and get smart – or die trying.

My father did his best, but he didn't make it.

He ended up buried in debt to an outlaw motorcycle club, the Black Aces MC.

Now, I find myself in the Aces' employ.

I know that I'm going to love it.

DAMIAN

I had to hand it to her – the girl had balls of steel.

But coming here was a very stupid mistake.

She's in the lions' den now, looking like a snack…

And I'm the hungriest monster in this cage.

For one brief moment, she thought she'd gotten the revenge she came here for.

Then I forced her to her knees, and she realized she was very wrong indeed.

This is a biker's world, darling.

And you're about to become a biker's toy.

Coming into my grasp was a death wish.

Chapter One

Y ou’ve got this, Janessa .

I wasn’t sure that I really did, even as I spoke the words into the mirror. I had no choice though. This is what I had signed up for. This is what I had to do to if I ever wanted to get to the truth. It hadn’t been easy to get a job at the Rockefeller Casino, but I had managed. That was only a small portion of the battle. The war would most likely be fought straight uphill, but I was ready for it. Maybe.

Stepping out onto the casino floor, I looked around. It was hard to know where to start. I needed to get close to Damian Diaz, known to most simply as D, but I would have to pace myself. He was way too smart to not be suspicious of a new girl trying to get too close, too soon. I had come here knowing I would have to do things that weren’t in my nature, things I found distasteful. I took a deep breath and began walking about the floor.

I had studied the members of the Black Aces Motorcycle Club, knew many of their faces already. There were other familiar faces as well, those men who were known to associate with them and come to the casino to do business or consort with the girls who were employed there. Girls like me, paid to make them feel manly and appreciated. Girls paid to take care of any and all of their special needs, be they carnal or contraband in nature.

I had also studied the backgrounds of the women who worked here. It gave me some insight into who to trust and who to watch. Many had come from broken homes and been in trouble all their lives. Others were just trying to make ends meet. It helped to have a heads up on what each of them was about.

Lock and load, Janessa.

The words were spoken quietly aloud to myself as I mentally prepared myself for my first night of work and the beginning of what was bound to be an uphill battle to get to the truth. A fight to bring this entire place down.

Chapter Two

Y ou’re new here. What’s your name, doll?

I looked over at the young man who had addressed me and smiled at him invitingly. Jackpot! He was on my list. This was good. It made me happy that I was starting out with one of the major players.

Janessa Cabri. Today is my first day. What’s your name?

They call me Jack Knife.

Jack Knife? That’s an interesting nickname. Should I ask how you got it?

You probably shouldn’t. Come sit with me. Maybe I’ll tell you about it later.

I joined him at his table, giving him my best doe-eyed new girl look. I knew I was fresh meat, and I also knew I was just his type. He had a thing for tall brunettes with dark features, and I possessed all those features with the aid of contacts and dye. It wasn’t really a surprise that he picked me out so quickly. In fact, I had hoped for it, though I didn’t expect to get lucky on my very first night.

Would you like me to get you a drink first?

Nah. One of the other girls can do that. I want to look at you for a while.

His tone was seductive and that played well into my plans. I had no desire to waste any time in getting what I wanted from this place and its members. One of them killed my father even after he paid off the debt he owed to them. I had every intention of finding out which one, no matter what the personal cost. If I had to liquor up Samuel Jack Knife Robinson and fuck information out of him, then that was what I would do.

Like what you see?

I sure do. Where are you from?

Upstate. Small town girl come to the big city.

Big switch from the country side to working in a casino.

That’s for sure. I was bored though. Nothing ever happens out in the middle of nowhere. I’m ready for a bit of fun. You know, cut loose and let my hair down for a while. I guess you could say I’m sewing my wild oats.

That’s what I like to hear from a beautiful girl. I like to sew a few wild seeds myself.

I’ll just bet you do.

The truth was that I had never seen a farm in my life. I had grown up in small town with my mother after she and my father had divorced. He was always a bit of a nomad, moving from place to place, but the one thing he never left behind was me. Though I was rarely allowed to go out with him as
