The only problem was her somber blue eyes that haunted me every night when I closed mine. I never imagined I’d see her again, but fate had other plans. Now, she needs my protection more than ever. But this time around, she’s keeping secrets that could get her killed. And it isn’t only her ex who’s on the hunt for what she’s desperately trying to hide.

He thinks he can protect me, but if I let him, true evil will come knocking, and it won’t come alone. Jude My life is simple, uncomplicated. The only things I care about are my brothers, my bike, and having no strings attaching me to any one woman. Everything is status quo, just how I like it. Until Lucy.

For fifteen years, I pretended I was. Now, I owe a man a favor, and he’s come to collect in the form of my club safeguarding the one woman who has the power to break me all over again. They nearly ended her life fifteen years ago, now they’ll pay with theirs for ever believing they could touch her in the first place.
