Dire Carrigan Adair is more than just an Emerald Isle MC princess. She’s also my most absolute best friend . . . and I’ve been in love with her for years. Nothing has ever happened between us though, not even so much as a kiss and I doubt it ever will. The last thing I want to do is take any chance that might ruin the friendship I have with her. She’s my solace, my center. No matter what happens with my life or the club, I know I can come back to Carrigan and everything calms down. I always thought I’d be okay when she finally got in a serious relationship, that I’d be happy for her. But jealousy is something I’m not used to and it turns me into a force to be reckoned with. When Carrigan is around, she seems happy with her new relationship, until the night she comes in with bruises and a busted face. Turns out she’s been hiding a hell of a lot from me, and now it’s time she fess up. Her boyfriend may think he’s untouchable because his crime family has his back. Yeah, well, he hasn’t seen what family can do out of revenge . . . But he’s about to. I don’t care how hard he tries to run and hide, I’m taking Carrigan back and making her mine, and then I’m taking his life for ever putting a hand on her.
