Their connection was irrefutable—dangerous, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. Their timing? It's always wrong. Hades is the enforcer for the Saint’s Outlaws MC. Evangeline is the woman he could never have. For years, he kept his distance, watching her build a life with another man, convincing himself she was never meant to be part of his world. When tragedy strikes, leaving them as the only ones left to care for five grieving children, there’s no more running. No more pretending. Evangeline never wanted the outlaw life. She had stability, safety—all the things she thought she wanted needed to be happy. Until one day, everything is ripped away. Now, the only man who can protect her is the one she’s spent years avoiding. Hades isn’t just her savior. He’s temptation in its most dangerous form. Dark. Possessive. Relentless. So when the secrets behind her brother’s murder start to unravel, one thing becomes clear—Evangeline was never meant to be safe. She was meant to be his, and Hades would burn the world down to keep her.
