The legitimate heir. The unwanted brother. The Outcast. I abandoned everything—my legacy, my mistakes, and the woman who should've been mine. Because they're better off without me. At least I had the courage to act on it when given the chance. Until I'm found and the unthinkable happens. It's time I go back. Take back the life I want. No matter the consequences. Just in time too, as the woman I love fights for her life and her birthright. She doesn't want me here, but I'm not leaving. Not this time. Even when her toy is determined to push me out. I have mistakes to atone for and no one, not even her, will stop me. In the shadows of the Dirty Dogs' world, three lives intertwine in a dance of passion, loyalty, and vengeance. Who will rise, who will fall, and whose heart will shatter in the crossfire? This is an MFM standalone novel in the Bastard Brothers of Carnage world. While reading the series in order will provide the best reading experience, this book can bet read independently.
