Acknowledgements
This series would not have been been possible, or even half as successful, if it wasn’t for the amazing team I have around me. You all play such an important role, and without each and every one of you, I’d be lost! To my friend and PA, Nikki, who puts up with me every day and keeps me in check. From creating the covers to alphaing and spending the last six months living and breathing these characters, she’s as deep in the world of Pacific Prep as I am. I love you, girl, thank you so much for all that you do!!
A shout out to Nikki number 2, AKA UK Nikki, who is always available to help me out, and even though she loves to throw wrenches in my scenes when I think they’re done, without her critical eye, this series would not be half as good.
A massive thanks to Shawna for beta reading and helping to make this book the best it can be, and to Zainab for her thorough editing and fine tuning. And a huge thanks to my street team and those who signed up with affinity to read and review this book. I appreciate all your hard work promoting every week and I’ve absolutely loved reading your reviews and seeing your edits.
Lastly, thank you to all of you, the readers, for picking up this book and reading it. Without you none of this would be possible!! If you loved this book, please help me spread the word by leaving a quick review.

About the Author
R.A. Smyth is an author of dark romance. She lives in the UK with her husband, although they frequently talk about moving to live abroad (so who knows).
She has always been an avid reader, starting from the Harry Potter books as a kid. It’s an interest that has grown into an obsession over the years and becoming an author has been a secret lifelong dream of hers.
When she’s not writing, Rachel enjoys spending time with her family, drinking cups of tea (or glasses of wine or gin) with a good book and exploring the small island of Ireland with her family.
Rebels & Rejects (Black Creek #1)
Chapter 1
SAWYER
With a final shove and a grunt, the package rolls over the side of the dock, splashing into the black water below. It bobs on the surface for a moment before the water drags it under, welcoming the tarp wrapped shitstain into her murky depths where he can forever rot amongst the fishes and algae.
So long, motherfucker. May you forever burn in hell.
Turning my back on the water, I pull the burner phone out of my pocket and fire off a quick text to confirm the job is done. While I wait for a response, I pull up my contacts, find the number I’m looking for and call it.
Arnie answers on the first ring. “Yup?”
“Got a delivery for you down by the docks.”
“A good one?”
I smirk. “I think you’ll be pretty happy. Brand new Camaro.”
He lets out an appreciative whistle. “Alright, kid. I’ll get someone down to pick her up now. It’s late, get yourself home.”
As I’m hanging up the phone, I receive an alert that payment for tonight’s job has been received. Finished here, I fish a Henley and black leather jacket out of my duffel bag, pulling the top on over my bralette and slipping into the jacket before slinging the bag over my back. I lift my helmet off the seat and push it on over my head as I lift a leg to straddle Raven, my Ducati Streetfighter. She was payment for making sure Arnie’s daughter’s abusive boyfriend didn’t keep coming around to harass her…that and thanks for the regular work I send his way. Arnie is a balding, brick wall of a man in his mid-fifties. Covered in tattoos, and with a rap sheet the length of his arm, he’s not someone you wanna mess with, but what he doesn’t let most people see is that he’s a fucking softie underneath that hard exterior. He runs the chop shop in Black Creek, so he’s someone most people want to keep on their good side, and man, does he get some of the sweetest rides. Sometimes, on nights like tonight, I get to send him an expensive car that he can make some decent money off, but his warehouse is full of cars that are worth a fucking fortune. I have no idea how he’s accrued so many, but hey, who was I to complain when he told me to pick any ride I wanted. I’m telling you, it was a hard choice. Most of the cars he had are models I will never afford, but when I saw this beauty hiding at the back of his shop, I had to have her.
Starting the ignition, I rev the engine, loving the deep rumble and resounding roar as I peel out of the docks onto the street. People stop to stare as I pass by, but with my full-face helmet and black-tinted visor, no one can see who I am. I prefer it that way, to be a faceless person in the crowd. It’s the only way to survive in Black Creek, where if anyone knows your name, it’s because they have some sort of beef with you.
