Zodiac As President of the Celestial Sons MC, I’ve spent half of my life wishing on stars that I could take back the night Tess Wilkins walked out of my life. Hurting Tess was the biggest mistake I ever made, but I can’t take it back, nor remember anything about that night if I tried. Running my MC was the only thing that kept me going over the years, but now she’s suddenly home, and I’ll do anything to win her back, even if it means revealing the secret, I’ve been keeping from her for the last twenty years and ruining any chance I have of holding her again. Tess For twenty years, I’ve avoided my hometown of Rising Star, Texas and all the memories and ghosts that I would rather leave buried there. Returning home wasn’t part of the plan, but when my grandmother suddenly fell ill, I knew I had no choice but to return home to care for her. What I didn’t anticipate was for all those ghosts I ran away from to find me the second I walked through the door, or for him to ride back into my life harboring a twenty-year secret that is even more devastating than the reason I left Rising Star in the first place.

It only took one night for me to lose everything… As VP of the Celestial Sons MC, it was my job to help keep the club in line. But when our little club got in the crosshairs of the town’s only1% MC, things got crazy, and suddenly, I was stuck in the middle of everything. The only thing I ever wanted was to be as good of a man as my father, but his legacy died the second she walked in and slapped me in those cuffs. Now I was wrongfully behind bars, accused of murdering someone close to the club. I had nothing to do with their death, but that didn’t seem to change the cop’s view of me. She’s hot, sassy, and she absolutely despises my existence, but that doesn’t stop me from flirting with her every chance I get. I may be behind bars, but there’s no rules to say I can’t have some fun while serving my time. But when an even bigger problem lands on my club’s doorstep, I find myself not only wanting to protect my club, but her as well. I hated everything about him. He stood for everything that was wrong in this world. All bikers were the same. They thrived on chaos, destruction, and inflicting pain on others. I should know, my father died in my arms, trying to stop one of their rallies from getting out of control. After his death, I pledged to bring down every biker in Rising Star, getting retribution for a life they cut too short. When the VP of the Celestial Sons MC was thrown into one of my jail cells, I couldn’t help but thank the heavens for placing him in my lap. I planned to throw the book at him, but the more time I spent with the infuriating and intriguing biker, the more I started to wonder if maybe I arrested the wrong man? When I find myself tangled up in a case I never should’ve looked into, my life is threatened, and I quickly learn that I can’t trust anyone anymore. My only hope of survival is to rely on Scorpio and his club to protect me, but I’m not sure what’s more frightening, the hit that has been placed on me, or the way I get lost in Scorpio’s captivating eyes.

Tragic... That’s what people refer to when they think about my past. A series of tragic events that ultimately led to me ending up on the streets, wandering around looking for her—my sister Joey. She abandoned me in the foster care system when she turned eighteen, but not before she saved me from one of the worst homes we’d ever lived in. My sister disappeared after that, and when I finally aged out of the system and went out to find her, she was knee deep in trouble with a violent MC club and I had the only bargaining chip to get her out. I never expected them to renege on our deal, beat the crap out of me, and take her underground again. But that’s exactly what happened, and now I fear that Joey may be gone forever. If it wasn’t for the Celestial Sons MC, I probably wouldn’t be alive, and I should be thankful for all their help, but I’m not about to let my guard down for another group of bikers, when my sister’s life is in danger. But they are all I have, and now that Joey’s time is ticking down, I have to do whatever I can to save her, even if it means asking for help from the group of men I secretly betrayed.
