He is the harbinger of death. I am a savior of lives. Together, we’re a paradox that should never work. The only unpredictability I allow in my structured life is my work as a trauma surgeon. That comes to a halt when a young, feral goth biker decides I am his. The gifts he sends me are downright creepy. But the scars his tattoos fail to hide make me want to protect him from the world. When a security threat forces the hospital into lockdown, Bloom’s feral nature takes over. He doesn’t care how many die as long as I make it out alive. Only then do I understand how unhinged he truly is. But when he whispers, “It’s November,” my protective instincts kicks in. He’s mine, scars, chaos, and all. Bloom is the third book in the Smoky Vale Alliance series. This is part 1 of what will be 2 books for Bloom. While it can be read as a stand-alone, it is recommended to read Crowe’s Creed from The Grimm Tales of Smoky Vale and Bay, book 1 in this series.
