Kallum Mercer—Everest to his brothers. As a patched member of the Kings of Retribution MC Louisiana, he’s forged in fire—fighting wars and burying enemies without remorse. Violence is part of his world. But she is the one thing that unravels him. London Monroe is brilliant and bold. A high-powered defense attorney by day, she plays by the rules—mostly. But behind sharp suits and sharper words, she hides a double life—one she can’t afford anyone, especially Everest, to uncover. Their chemistry crackles beneath every glance. Their banter cuts as deep as the desire they refuse to admit. She pushes him away. He lets her—until he can’t. Then one night changes everything, shattering the fragile space between them. The tension ignites, and there’s no going back. But just as Everest finally tastes what he’s always craved, London is ripped away by men tied to a powerful enemy. Now, Everest isn’t just a man on a mission. He’s a storm. And he’ll burn the world down to bring her home. She’s his only weakness. He’ll be her every reckoning. Love was never the plan. Now, it’s the only thing worth dying for.
