A king without a throne. His true queen in the wind. Happy endings aren’t for the damned. I’m the former President of Black Thorns MC. I operate in the shadows now. I protect. I don’t attack, don’t destroy. Until an old flame crashes back into my life and threatens the status quo. Charlotte Brant turns men into kings. But now one of them wants her to kneel. And he’s coming for both of us. They’re pulling me back in. They’re calling out that old version of me. The bringer of pain. The architect of destruction. The dealer of death. I ruled this down and dirty realm once Now it’s time to take it back. I’ll be the villain they need me to be. Villains do what’s needed. They stop at nothing. They’re merciless.
