Cerberus MC Tennessee Chapter: Collection 1
(2025)(A book in the Cerberus MC Tennessee Chapter series)
A collection of stories by Marie James
The collection includes:
Hemlock
I might be the first man to join the Cerberus MC and not love it.
Instead of leaving, I bide my time, knowing that I burn every bridge I cross.
When an opportunity plucks me from the desert of New Mexico and transplants me in East Tennessee I feel a little better about the path my life has taken.
The new job isn't as solitary as I expected it to be.
Instead of doing reconnaissance alone I'm stuck sitting at a bar, trying to determine if they're using the business as a human trafficking hub.
Everything would be fine if it weren't for the bubbly bartender who can't take a hint.
Doesn't this woman know what I'm capable of?
She wouldn't be smiling at me if she had a glimpse into my history.
Maybe giving her the attention she thinks she wants from me is exactly what she needs to start keeping her distance.
Ace
It's not hard to see how weak love makes a man.
He watched that love flow from his best friend's body, the crimson flowing out around him like a river.
If love leaves you on the business end of a knife, then he has no interest.
And that's how Eddie "Ace" Yarrow has lived his life in the last ten years: independent and alone.
But honestly, it goes back further than that.
He left Cerberus over thirty years ago because he wanted to make a difference closer to home.
And although he made great strides in his career, a man always tends to go back to his roots.
His forced vacation from ICE has left him working a job for Cerberus.
Cora Preston isn't trying to make his life harder, but she doesn't understand why they're not getting results.
Cerberus is taking too long to find her missing sister, and inserting herself into the investigation is her only choice.
The two butt heads more than once, and neither of them can predict just how close together this investigation is going to bring them.
Jericho
I knew there was no point in looking back at what could've been when she couldn't even lift her eyes to me when her father ordered my death.
She didn't fight for me, didn't fight for us.
I knew better than to get tangled with a mafia princess.
I knew how it would end, only instead of dead, I was left in a much worse situation, having to know she was still alive and being unable to go to her.
Bitterness swam inside of me. Seven years of hatred building because of her silence.
But then her father died, leaving her at the hands of the very man who left me alive.
Not helping her isn't an option, but I second-guess stepping back into her life when I discover the secrets she's been keeping all this time.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
