Dirty.
Imprisoned in a small room within the walls of the Satan's Creed Motorcycle Club compound, Casey Richards struggles to survive the only life she was raised to know. Her mother, a club whore, and her father, an unknown outlaw she’s never met, Casey’s fate is all but sealed in the eyes of the club.
Foul. Unclean. Undesirable.
Trapped in a loveless marriage, and with no children of her own, Emma Carsen is the only living soul willing to fight for her niece, Casey. She’s all but given up on saving her until the one man she’s longed to see again unexpectedly finds his way back to town and into her life.
Sordid. Vile. Unscrupulous.
Max Taylor, former-biker of a disbanded MC, has been holding onto reasons to avoid coming back to the small town he grew up in. The same ghosts that drove him away eventually force Max to find his way back. Now that he's home, he may be Casey’s only chance for freedom.
Filthy. Hateful. Impure.
In order to get to Casey, Max must find a way to infiltrate the MC. Setting up a meet with Hoss, Satan's Creed’s President who’s known for his depravity as much as his double-crossing ways, it’s made clear that forming an alliance is going to be more of a challenge than he expected. Now he must prove his loyalty to the club and in doing so, he’s forced to get his hands…
DIRTY.

Excerpt
Pursing her lips, her face gets serious again. “I don’t think you should get involved.
“You involved me when you asked for help. It’s too late anyway. I’m already in.”
“Shit,” she mumbles.
Leaning forward in my seat, I rest my elbows on my knees and focus on her face to keep her attention. “I have an intro to Creed tonight. If this goes well, I could have a job. If it doesn’t go well, we will rethink the plan.”
Now she looks completely defeated and we’ve only just started.
“I don’t have a plan, Max,” she states, standing and putting her hand to her forehead. “What I have is a niece who needs my help, law enforcement in this shit of a town that refuses to acknowledge what’s happening in it, and the only person I think I can count on is meeting with the man who’s to blame for all of it.”
“I don’t think Hoss is the biggest problem,” I inform. “If rumor is true, there’s someone else leading this, and that someone is big. Hoss is no one in comparison to who we’re really talking about.”

This is my first A.C. Bextor read, and this woman can seriously write. Her novel gripped me from the synopsis, and kept me captivated and riveted to each page, as I quickly turned, in my race to the finish line. Although, I was sorely disappointed with the ending, I'm still happy I get a book 2, to look forward to.
She’s been born into a life of captivity with no hope for any possible escape to freedom. It is her mother who allows these men to keep her, to imprison her within these walls.
This story situates itself, around the savage, Satan's Creed MC, dealing in illegal activities, amongst which is the sex/flesh trade. A young eleven year old girl, has been enslaved, and kept prisoner within the darkest and meekest of confinements. Born and breed within the MC, Casey's story gives us insight into her fears, details of her confinement and her deplorable, day to day living, and interaction with the most of unsavory of characters, that she meets, when they visit her cell.
Casey sits alone on her dingy floor and studies her hands. They're disgustingly dirty from no water to bathe in and uncontrollably shaky from lack of food.
Even though Casey may believe she is alone, she isn't at all. Her aunt, her mother's younger sister, Emma, has been fighting at every turn, to rescue Casey. Shot down on numerous occasions and threatened, Emma, seeks the help of an old crush, and her sister's ex-boyfriend, Max Taylor.
Max has recently returned to town, after years of being on the road. Running from his past, from the emotions of his sister's brutal murder. From the fear of regret and uncertainty in his parents eyes. Max's return brings him face to face with his past, and the one girl, he always thought he wasn't good enough for, Emma Carsen.
Seeking Max's help, Emma agrees to slide to the background, while Max infiltrates the MC, in order to assess Casey's situation, while trying to find a way to gain her freedom. Within the MC, what Max finds, unsettles him to the core. The deplorable conditions that Casey is kept under. The vile men, lurking to get at her, the illegal activity, and the brutal men that make up Satan's Creed. The club president, is a man after his own intentions, a man that Max grew up with, a man turned evil.
Amidst the heartbreaking tale of Casey's life, Emma faces her own troubles with her husband. Living in a loveless marriage, Emma fights to be the good wife, while her husband throws her to the side, only looking for a perfect trophy wife to show off. Bored with her life and wanting something more, Emma fights against his oppression, an ends up bruised and beaten. All the while, Max's temper boils and boils, until he unleashes his fury.
In the pits of despair, thrust into a devastating situation, Emma and Max will fight for Casey, while battling their own demons, and becoming a united front, in order to survive the perils of the club and their own desires.
This book proved to me that despite your own troubles, their as still so many good and willing people in this devious world.
