Hawk: Skulls the Early Years by Jessie Cooke

Are some men just born bad…or do circumstances conspire to make them that way?

Grant “Hawk” Benning will go down in history as one of the baddest, most hated men on the eastern seaboard…and then some.
Hawk cut his teeth on leather and steel, growing up heavily influenced by a culture of violence, drugs and crime.
He would navigate the pathways between adolescence and adulthood using only the tools he’d been given…realizing too late that the club that made him a man, would likely bring about his ultimate demise.

Hawk’s life, his destiny, was with the Southside Skulls. Prospect at seventeen, Vice President at twenty-one. Two and a half decades of riding alongside the prolific Doc Marshall.
Hawk will have a full life…but one wrought with a loneliness built by his reluctance to allow any glimpse of the man who really lived behind the kutte.

During his life, Hawk will fall in love with three women.
The first will become his closest friend and she’ll leave a legacy that will both brighten and darken Hawk’s days to come.

The second, a free spirit…the one in touch with her own soul…the one who may have taught him how to reach his, if only she’d had the time.

And the last…the woman who would ultimately give him something that no one else ever could…a chance to glimpse and explore the best parts of himself…the parts that even he didn’t know existed.

Ride along, read along, and make your own decision in the end.
Was Grant “Hawk” Benning born to be bad…or was the deck just stacked against him from the get-go?
