Crucify Thy Demons by Alivia Grayson

Roman
My name is Roman. You don’t know me yet, but you will.You think you’ve seen evil, you’ve seen nothing yet.You’ve heard of me, the nice things, at least. You don’t know me, however. Not the real me, but you will. Very soon, you will know everything.Hold tight because it’s going to be a bumpy ride!I’ve never been in love before. I never want it. Yet here I am, in love with a woman who can’t make her mind up whom she wants. Me or her ex. I’d fight for her, but sometimes you have to know when to let go. I love Marley enough to set her and let her be happy with the man she loves. Even if that man ain’t me.It’s not easy for a man like me to sit back and watch the woman he loves struggling with her feelings. I want to be the man she chooses. However, I won’t force Marley to be with me if that’s not what she wants. Though I will kill anyone who tries to take my daughter from me, and that includes Marley!

Marley
My life has not been an easy one, to say the least. Tortured, raped, beaten, shot, stabbed, and sold like a piece of meat, that was my life. It was before I met Roman. I didn’t intend to feel anything outside of friendship for him. How could I fall for a biker when all men like that have ever done is abuse me? However, I have fallen for him. Roman saved my life; at a point, I literally thought I would die. One night with him, and then eight months of hiding from not only Roman but the rest of the world, and I have his child. I won’t keep my child from her father, but the fear of rejection is almost too powerful.The trials Roman and I will face won’t be easy, and they may just tear us apart, but I won’t stop fighting to make him see that I’m not going make his greatest fear come to life. Losing his daughter. Roman has made no secret of what he’ll do to the world if that fear should come to life, and I have to wonder who hurt him so badly he’d go to those lengths in the first place.The fact Roman turns into the man he promised never to be is likely to destroy me. This time, I’m not sure there’s any way back from it. Roman the Crucifier may well crucify my demons, but has his killed me in the process?Men like Roman can’t be compassionate, they can’t love in the right way, and they sure as s**t have no morals. Right? Never fall in love with an outlaw. It’s easy, right?
