Bittersweet Humiliation Recently reunited, Neil and Natasha Curland, are enjoying an idyllic romantic, uninhibited honeymoon on the sun drenched island of Crete. Natasha has organised a blessing of their nuptials at the ranch of her wealthy Texan actor friend, and mentor, Warren. The trip will combine a family reunion with a chance for her new husband to pitch his burgeoning TV show to Hollywood's finest. To add to their happiness, Natasha is quietly confident that she is expecting the couple's third child. On an island, on the other side of the Atlantic, a storm is brewing deep within the troubled mind of a vicious psychopath. A nightmare from Natasha's past; with deadly terrorist connections. Unbeknown to the happy pair, their lives lie directly in the path of the storm. The next few months will see the beautiful Natasha physically and mentally destroyed, reduced to a base human being; stripped of her freedom, her dignity, and everything she holds dear. Even escape may not release her from her torment. The clock is ticking, the death toll is rising. From the onset, the authorities are tardy to react, slow to recognise the gravity of the threat. When their ineptitude threatens Natasha's very survival; Neil seizes the initiative, and brings the power of Natasha's wealthy influential friends to bear. Thanks to a fortuitous chance of his wife's birth, Neil is able to circumvent the obstructive policies of the British authorities, and the investigation is transferred stateside; handed over to American jurisdiction. Progress is agonisingly slow, every second Natasha remains in captivity; she moves a step closer to the point of no return. A CIA operative in the Irish Republic discovers Natasha, now a drug addicted ghost, working in a stinking IRA brothel, and quickly implements a high risk plan to extract her. Within hours, she is on an aeroplane with a full medical detail, rushing her to a private medical centre in Austin Texas; back to the bosom of her loved ones. Back in Ireland, Brian Dix; Natasha's abductor, faces harsh retribution for losing his charge. With the order to end his ex-girlfriends life, he receives a stark warning of what will happen if he fails again, and is put on a plane with the order to 'finish the job'. Brian Dix's initial brazen attempt on Natasha's life is thwarted, more by accident than design. Once again, he leaves a trail of death and destruction in his wake. Neil is forced to acknowledge that Brian Dix will keep coming with the force of a runaway freight train, to stop him, he must kill him! Neil is an intelligent, resourceful man; an ex British soldier and lifetime biker, he has a number of tools in his arsenal which could prove worthy of his cunning adversary, but he knows he must take the fight to Brian. Neil's notoriety in the 'biker' world allows him and his 'rag tag' military buddies to infiltrate the 'Outlaw' biker gang protecting Brian Dix. With the support of the charismatic 'Brodie', President of the 'Waco Slaves MC', a cunning plan is hatched to 'smoke out' Dix without compromising the integrity of the club or their President. The plan goes astray when their adversary proves far more cunning than they have given him credit for. Brian Dix is not a man for meticulous plans, he possesses a psychotic, adrenaline fuelled cunning, once he starts, it's a 'flat out', 'peddle to the metal' ride until something gives. Every gap in the fence you leave, he will slip through, every mistake you make, he will exploit. The climax of the story runs at an astonishing pace. When it seems that nothing can possibly stand in the way of Brian's destructive power, Natasha must rise to the challenge, stand up and take care of business, to save herself, and to save her family. This story is an action thriller where the principal characters just happen to ride motorcycles. It is their story.
