'I’m not a decent guy.

'I don’t do commitment.

'Women know the score before they land in my bed.

'But there is something about this feisty tattoo artist. She makes my blood boil. But with that pure, unadulterated rage comes an ache deep inside I simply can’t ignore.

'I despise her.

'I shouldn’t want her.

'The problem is, every part of me does.

'And it’s a complication I can no longer ignore.

'With threats against the club from our persistent rivals, it’s becoming clear we can’t be sure who to trust.

'As the saying goes… keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

'But without knowing, I’ve invited mine right in, and I’m falling for her hard.

'And when we hit the ground, I know it’s gonna hurt.'

'She was the girl next door.

'Then she broke my heart. When she fell for my best friend instead of me.

'Unwilling to come between them, I left LA. Found sanctuary in New Orleans with a brotherhood who calmed my storm.

'She should have been safe.

'She was his to protect.

'The problem is—she should have been mine.

'And now his mistakes have come back on her.

'So when she shows up at the gates of the clubhouse seeking my help, how can I turn her away?

'Especially when the trouble is caused by the man we both trusted.

'My feelings haven’t changed, only intensified, the tension between us thick.

'He deceived us both. So can I now betray him and act on my feelings?'

'Family is a bond. One that can’t be broken. But what if I want to bend the rules?

'I wasn’t supposed to look at her that way. I’d practically grown up beside her. You shouldn’t ignite inside when you stare at your stepsister.

'Now she’s caught the eye of someone else.

'Someone more sinister than me.

'The problem is—he’s dangerous.

'But is there more to him than even we are aware of?

'Sharing our secret with our family should be easy. But just when we think the dust has settled, trouble comes searching, far more ferocious than before.

'When all seems lost, I stand firm and fight.

'Because a world without her in it, is a world I will burn to the ground'.

'I don’t believe in miracles. Ever since she was taken. She was simply gone, and it changed who I am as a man.

'But as the years passed, the trail grew colder. I joined the club to help in my search, but what I wasn’t expecting was to meet someone new.

'Lani’s funny, outgoing, absolutely beautiful.

'But I have reservations.

'The problem is—I’m waiting for that miracle.

'But am I missing out on something amazing because I’m holding back?

'Just as I let myself be open with Lani, my father shows up with that blast from the past, opening every old wound I thought I had closed.

'But she brings with her the eight years of trouble.

'I want to help her, to protect her.

'But will the cost to save one end up with me losing the one?'

'Everything changed in the blink of an eye. I wasn’t expecting it. The way my life would be irrevocably altered in seconds.

'Sophie was a painful part of my past I’d rather forget. Fifteen years ago, she packed her things and hightailed it without a word. Now she’s back—but she brought with her my teenage daughter, whom I didn’t know existed.

'At first, I felt betrayed.

'I don’t know how to be a father.

'The problem is—I don’t have a choice.

'Sophie is sick and running out of time.

'But even with the dark clouds swirling with fear and uncertainty, I have one guiding light—Frankie. We’ve been darting around our feelings for a while.

'But maybe we’ve left it too long because I have responsibilities now.

'People who need me to take care of them.

'But maybe Frankie needs me to take care of her too.

'And if I lose sight of that, will I end up putting her in the ultimate danger?'
