Created with Vellum FOREWORD & TRIGGER WARNINGS Dear Reader, Some books are healing. You might be reading this author’s note years after the book’s release, so I’ll give you some context. It’s January 2023. I’ve just released Filthy Lies and Filthy Truth, the final books in The Five Points’ Mob Collection. It’s funny to think that, years down the line, people will be reading this book before those two—the advantage, I suppose, of binge-reading once a series is complete. ;) However, this book… these characters… something about them has healed me. I think it’s the hopefulness written within the story. A chance taken, an opportunity snatched, and the rewards go to those who dared to try. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. You should know that there is mention of rape and sexual abuse against women as a means of forcing marriage. There are also scenes of violence and references to bullying as well as memories of violent parental abuse. NONE OF THIS OCCURS BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS. May this make the book hangover from Filthy Lies and Filthy Truth that much easier to bear. <3 Much love to you all, Serena xo PLAYLIST If you’d like to hear a curated soundtrack, with songs that are featured in the book, as well as songs that inspired it, then here’s the link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3XRCAZfgmq5RfwSnW9fl8E?si=6f9a54a0ca3c4944 THE CROSSOVER READING ORDER WITH THE SINNERS & VALENTINIS FILTHY FILTHY SINNER NYX LINK FILTHY RICH SIN STEEL FILTHY DARK CRUZ MAVERICK FILTHY SEX HAWK FILTHY HOT STORM THE DON THE LADY FILTHY SECRET REX RACHEL FILTHY KING REVELATION BOOK ONE REVELATION BOOK TWO FILTHY LIES FILTHY TRUTH Please be advised that the first half of the book has been HEAVILY EXTENDED since its original inclusion in A Naughty MC Christmas Anthology.

Primarily, I noticed their rides outside our house in Westchester, where Daddy never stayed anymore and I had to hole up with Mother in suburban hell until he hauled us into the city for our ‘family duties.’ I.e., church with Father Doyle and his endless sermons. Bleugh. It was a surreal sight to behold, though. Amid the pristine prettiness of ‘Stepford Wife Lane,’ the royal blue bike was riderless, but the owner had dared to drive over our lawn, leaving tire tracks behind that showed the earth beneath. Mother was going to have a literal cow over that. As for the other bike, it was a stark, bright red with a fire pattern on its body. The rider had been considerate, however. He was currently parked on the driveway, his head tilted down as he stared at his cell phone. With that tousled mop of hair, he should’ve looked dirty, but he didn’t. Oh, his hair was definitely tangled and in need of a brush, and combined with the bushy beard, he certainly wasn’t as elegantly attired as I was used to guys appearing. Perhaps that was why he caught my eye and why I couldn’t stop staring as I walked toward my house. With every step I took, the more I could see of him. That mop on his head, which should have been a deterrent, doubled his appeal, and the massive biceps and how he filled out a Henley helped matters too. Enough that my curiosity at the reason behind the bikers’ presence in my driveway was minimal. More focused on trying to catch as many glimpses of the stranger’s face as possible, I didn’t think about things like security or my mother’s safety… That was when my BFF reminded me that we were on the phone together. “Why are you ignoring me when you called me?” “I’m not ignoring you, Sarah,” I breathed. “There’s the hottest guy in the world sitting in my driveway.” “Sitting in your driveway,” she repeated. “What is he? A traveling salesman?” My lips twitched as I studied the bike. “I don’t know what he’d be selling if he were.” “How hot is he? Jensen-hot or Harry Styles-hot?” I mock-gagged. “Jensen isn’t hot. I don’t care if he’s the star QB or not.” “His ass is beautiful.” “Asses aren’t beautiful.” “I swear you’re asexual.” “Not a crime, is it?” I snapped, even though I’d often thought the same thing about myself. Well, until today. Until this gorgeous specimen crossed my path. “He’s Charlie Hunnam-hot,” I muttered, not letting her answer me. She whistled. “Take a picture?” The tapping of my heels against the sidewalk finally drew the man’s attention, and when our eyes clashed and held, I was sure I felt that connection in my soul. God, had there ever been browner eyes? They were both hard and soft, piercing yet uber aware. “I can’t take a picture,” I gasped, trying to catch my breath. “He can see me.” “Are you having an asthma
