I was rushed away from home in the middle of the night and given an opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to redeem a family name I never choose. I can now change the way people look at me when they hear my father’s name. I can be a better man, do the right thing, and finally get out from under the shadow of evil he left in my world. But in order to do that, I need to play the role of his son and leave behind the only thing that I ever gave a damn about. The one person in the world who never judged me and loved me unconditionally for the person she knew I could be. I abandoned her without a single look back because she said she would wait. I just had no idea what I was leaving behind. Well, I know now, and it’s time to unravel the lies I’ve been weaving and prove that I am worthy of the family I always dreamed of having with her. My name is Franklin “Wolf” Hoss Jr, and I am the President of the MorningStar MC Reno Chapter. After all these years, I’ve come home to Paradise to remind her of one thing… Wolves mate for life.

I’ve been called dangerous, aggressive, hard to figure out, poisonous and deadly. It’s all true and a lie. I adapt to the environment around me, I blend in, and no one can figure me out. I do whatever I need to survive, and I do it well. Until now. One woman has derailed everything I’ve worked so hard to create. She’s smug, fearless, and has no sense of self-preservation. It makes me question everything I’ve ever wanted. Now I need to get us both out of the snake pit I’ve been living in. Vipers hide their fangs to draw you in. Then they bite.

I’m the lead singer of a very popular rock band, so my life must be perfect, right? WRONG My family is in shambles, the MC club is in mourning, and my band is divided. I’ve always had so many people in my life that had my back no matter what, but with everything going on right now, I find myself a drift and alone in the dark. Until a bright light shows me a way out. The light at the end of the tunnel that I will gladly give my life for. If I give in to my desires for her, it could ruin everything I’ve worked so hard to create, but what if she’s the answer we all need?

My faith was a shield I hid behind. It was the only justification I could find for the good and evil my life was always surrounded by. The belief that it was all for a higher power, that repenting would cleanse my family’s soul, and that this would be how I’d serve them best was my only focus throughout school. Then, she walked into my church and changed my entire outlook on life. Faith was no longer the only thing I needed to survive. Under her one gentle touch, I finally felt alive. It was but a moment, but I knew I needed more. So, I traded the heaven I couldn’t touch for the one I could see, feel and save. When the Devil thinks he can take her from me, I march into hell to get my heaven back.
