Salvage
Two souls broken by pain and shame.
A new soul born into agony and loss.
Together they find their salvation in love.
And make a family in hope.
Note: this novella occurs in the world of The Brazen Bulls MC series and develops a background story from Fight, Book 6 in that series. It is not, however, a part of that series or, in fact, a biker story at all.

About the author
Susan Fanetti
84 books1,420 followersI was born and raised in the Midwest, but I was transplanted into the dusty soil of Northern California and have apparently taken root there. An inveterate geek and gamer, I am a fan of many things considered pop culture and maybe even lowbrow.
As a reader, my favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy, but as a writer, I've found my home in romance--or perhaps it's better to say simply "love stories." I have a yen to try other genres, too, at some point, but for now my muse wants to tell stories about lovers and families.
I write for the joy of it, and I write stories that I want to read. If others like them, too, that's just the cherry on top. I’m not interested in rules and formulae. I follow my muse and my characters and let them take me where they want to go, wherever that might be. I like big emotions, dark and light.
I like complicated characters with flaws and weaknesses as well as strengths, and I like each character’s strengths and weaknesses to be different from those of other characters. I’m much more concerned that my characters be interesting and diverse than that they be widely considered to be likable. I try to create people, not types.
Likewise, I want my stories each to be distinct from the others. Once I’ve told a story, I don’t want to tell it again. So even within a series, one of my books might be very different from the next. Some might be very dark, others equally mild.
That isn’t to say there aren’t trends and recurrences in my work. I’m drawn to certain themes and settings, and my muse has her favorite toys and tools. But I guard against those tendencies becoming a formula.

A beautiful story I didn’t want to end.
Deals with the aftermath of a tough topic where the dark stuff is referred to but the focus is on their positive relationship and the healing strength they share with each other.

Emotional
A story of healing for both the characters. Learning life step by step but with support they never thought they would get or needed. It was sweet and beautiful. Emotional but excellent read.

Short but Sweet
This is the sweetest love story of how two very damaged people can come together and find love. Cody and Ellen have histories of horrific abuse, so much so that they are both happy to be by themselves, they have no hope that they would ever be able to be in a loving relationship. Their certainty that love and happiness can never exist in a relationship is so sad, it made me really angry that they had basically been terrorized as children! But watching them find each other, slowly trust and depend on each other and ultimately find love was so sweet! I loved how they were both willing to parent Rebekah, a newborn infant who is Cody’s niece from his sister who dies from an overdose. It was challenging enough that Cody is suddenly thrust into parenting, but parenting a baby withdrawing from drugs!? And yet they both make the commitment to parent this baby. When i read this story I thought that Cody and Ellen are virgins: virgin parents, virgins in love and really virgins sexually because neither had really had a healthy sexual relationship. You will need your tissue for this story at the end. Just wish it had been longer; maybe Cody and Ellen and baby Rebekah can show up in a future BBMC book!

Not one of SA's best, but it was a good sweet story. I'm so glad Ellen got her HEA as much as she went through.

What a sweet novella. I always wondered what happened with Ellen after reading Fight. Now I know. Great read to tie up a loose end story.
