EXCERPT (NEW)
“You gonna sit down or what?”
I sit down. Arguing with him would be futile. We sit there, side by side, staring off down the arrow-straight road, and for a moment I don’t hate him. He pulls a cell phone out of his pocket and taps something into it, and then he turns to face me, frowning slightly.
“You believe in vengeance?”
“You mean like revenge?”
He shakes his head. “Revenge is a selfish act. Retaliation for something. Vengeance is a different thing altogether. It’s about obtaining justice, usually for someone who can’t claim it for themselves.”
This is an odd line of questioning but I decide I’ll bite. Maybe I wouldn’t if he were being a jerk like he was a couple of hours ago, but that’s not what’s happening. He’s pensive, the live wire that apparently runs through him dulled for the moment. “I don’t know,” I say. “Probably, in that case.”
“What if I simplified the question?
What if I say, do you believe in justice?
“Then, yes, I do believe.”
EXCERPT
“You think you use your brain when you’re having sex?”
Rebel’s pen freezes on the paper. He turns, then, towering over me, my face level with his belt buckle. It’s as though I can literally feel the heat rolling off his body. He’s intimidating and overwhelming, his presence a powerful force to be reckoned with.
“Oh, Sophia. I use my brain. Every time I sleep with a woman, I’m using my head to figure out what she likes. How she likes it. What I can do to have her screaming my name until her throat’s raw.”
Excerpt
“It’s time for you to tell me your name.” She arches an eyebrow at me. I can just imagine her getting them waxed in some fancy fucking boutique beauty parlor in Seattle, run by Asian hipsters with shaved undercuts and thick glasses. She seems like the type. “Why do you want to know?” she asks, cockiness filling her voice.
“I’m asking because I need something to call you. And if you don’t tell me your name, I’m going to be forced to call you One Eighty-One. And I’m guessing you won’t like being called One Eighty-One.”
“Why would you call me that?”
“Because that’s the reference Hector Ramirez gave you when you uploaded your picture onto his skin site. Hector tags his girls chronologically. The first girl he sold was number one. The fifty-third girl he sold was tagged fifty-three. Using that logic, guess how many girls he sold before he tagged you one eight one?”
“So a hundred and eighty other women came before me?” She looks like she’s going to throw up.
“Exactly. And he hasn’t been caught. The police haven’t raided his place out there in the desert. No one has reported his website. No one came to rescue the one hundred and eighty other girls who came before you, and no one is coming for you, either. So if you want reminding of that every single time I call you one eight—“
“Sophia!” She screws her eyes shut, clenching her jaw. “My name is fucking Sophia, motherfucker.” She spits out the words like they’re poison. When she looks at me again, I can see the fury burning in the dark depths of her dark brown eyes. She comes alive when she’s angry. A thrill of adrenalin stabs through me, sending mixed signals to my cock; provoking such a violent reaction from her is provoking an entirely different reaction from me. For the first time, I see her. Fucking Sophia. I don’t see her as a means to an end—a potential way to take down the bastard who killed my uncle. I see her. I see her as a woman, and she is beautiful.
“Alright, Sophia. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Rebel and Sophia's story.
The first of a three part series. This novel contains a small snippet which has already been released in the Owned: An Alpha Anthology, however it is followed by a full story installment.
Sophia
Sometimes, you don't mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she's sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell bent on revenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn't seem all that interested in playing things safe.
In fact, nothing about the secretive, dark and brooding MC president seems safe at all.
Rebel
What do you do when the man who raised you is murdered, and the only witness is kidnapped girl who's being sold as a sex slave? You buy her, of course. As president to the most powerful motorcycle club in America, Rebel isn't lacking in power. There are strings the man can pull, and entire criminal organisations and corporate businesses alike would fall to their knees. However, along with such power comes intense interest. The DEA have their eye fixed solely on the MC...and they're just waiting for Rebel to trip up.
Getting Sophia to testify is the only way to bring the Los Oscuros cartel down. The beautiful, dark haired, dark eyed woman is belligerent and uncooperative and unlikely to bend to his will, but Rebel has a few tricks up his sleeve to make her compliant--he'll charm her until she's bending over backwards to please him.
Of course, falling for her might cause a few hiccups along the way...
Review by Emma Mistress Of All Dark & Twisted
Callie Hart has turned her writing hand to the MC world with Rebel and The Widow Makers of New Mexico. This is book 1 of the Dead Man's Ink series and Rebel is a character who made his first appearance in Burn in the Blood and Roses series. This dark haired, hot, dirty mouthed, bad ass biker peaked my interest then and I'm ecstatic we get a whole new series involving him!!
You need not to have read the aforementioned series by Callie Hart to enjoy this standalone series, but I guarantee you'll want to after reading Rebel!!
On a bleak, snowy evening in Seattle Alexis Romera 21, unknowingly witnesses and becomes embroiled in Cartel, Widow Makers MC and Rebel's affairs whilst walking along a path when she makes one kind gesture. She sees things she should never have seen and gets kidnapped to avoid leaving any loose ends behind by her captors. Her only salvation is the fake ID she has and the parting words of a rugged biker who witnesses the events that occurred. With her identity a secret her family is safe from her dangerous, corrupt and violent captors and she becomes Sophia Marne, her fake ID namesake, willing to do whatever it takes to survive as her life will never be the same again.
"Things like this don't happen. This is the stuff of nightmares and movies, and horror stories... It was sure as hell never supposed to happen to me."
Rebel 'saves' Sophia but he is a man with a plan. Sophia can serve a purpose if she complies to his demands. As President of an MC his word is law but Sophia is not one to follow orders easily. She challenges, questions and defies him and in turn opens his eyes to what he wants from his life. We see the man behind the tattoos, dirty deeds and crude words when he's with Sophia, the real man, not the deception he leads everyone to believe is Rebel.
Rebel has a dark and tragic past. From his childhood to current day he's been involved in many violent and dangerous activities. This is turn has made his MC the most powerful in America and feared by Cartels, rival MC's and notorious people " we're not just a motorcycle club. We're criminals and were really good at not getting caught." But with power comes problems and enemies though: the DEA, gangs and people wanting revenge. So when Sophia can alleviate one personal issue he's hell bent on getting her to comply.
They have an undeniable chemistry but should they cross that line and give in to it as Sophia has to decide if she can trust Rebel to keep her safe if she helps him when really she's a convenient means to an end or will he see her as much more than a way to resolve a personal vendetta bringing about his own form of Rebel vengeance? "Vengeance is a different thing altogether. It's about obtaining justice, usually for someone who can't claim it for themselves."
This is a fast paced, seriously addictive read. You'll be left screaming for more after an ending that leaves you open mouthed and your mind reeling as the stakes for both Rebel and Sophia have just got even higher!!

Review by Mazzy Boss Lady
Read in February, 2015
I received a copy via Obsessed by Books in exchange for an honest review
Now I love my biker books and when I heard that Callie was writing one, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
I was not disappointed, this was a fantastic read, I was engrossed from page one and I had to read right the way through.
We meet Alexis, minding her own business, walking home to catch the bus, because of the person she is, she tries to help a person in need, but ends up in a situation that she never thought would happen. Alexis is a strong and feisty character and she never loses that throughout the book.
Enter Rebel, we are show this dark sexy man, who I feel has been through alot in his life, but he is strong and the president of the MC that he created. I feel there is alot more to Rebel than meets the eye, and he shows this to Sophie (as she now calls herself). They have a connection and both try to fight it as much as they can.
I loved this book, the only one thing I can say is, Callie why did you leave me hanging like that, the way it ended, I need more Rebel now, I need to know what happens next. I will be on tender hooks waiting for Rebel 2.

About the Author:
Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that have all worked towards shaping and molding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.
Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
