Greed. Power. Sin. It all comes with the gavel. Blurs the lines between church and state. But the Knightdale Charter of the Satan's Knights MC is my life. And I'd do anything for this club. Like letting the best woman I ever had slip through my fingertips. A sinfully beautiful spitfire, she's my better half in every way. My twin flame. My everything. My biggest regret. But there's no making things right between us. Because I'm the reason she's alone yet again. And if our past wasn't enough to put out the fire in her soul, my crimes certainly will be.

The things I've lost could shatter any man. Send him on a downward spiral. I would've punched my own ticket if it weren't for the Satan's Knights. Instead, I became the VP of the Knightdale Charter. A man can't drown in his misery when he's got responsibilities. So I look for things to dull the pain. Sex. Drugs. Whatever. When you've been to hell and back, the only time worth having is a good one. My little Birdie knows this self-destructive path, too. That's why I can't stay away from her. The highs are higher when you don't fly alone. But I'm not the only ghost in her life, and her past isn't letting her go. I thought my club was the only thing left for me to love. It turns out I was wrong.

Death before dishonor. It’s the most important rule and the easiest to break. Riding with the Knightdale Charter isn't my first choice. But home is where you go when you leave your heart in a pine box. Grief is like a magnet, and I'm surrounded by shadows. Living life among the darkness, just like her. She's buried an even bigger piece of herself than I have. And all she wants is to finally find the light. If we had any sense at all, we'd steer clear of each other. But I'd rather feel anything than nothing at all. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. When is it love and not just lust? Don't ask me. I'm a disgrace no matter what.

Darkness always works overtime. It thrives in the depravity of grown men. Hardening hearts and leaving them empty. It destroys everything and everyone it touches. Now it's coming for our innocent beacon of light. Stronger than she knows, but still so fragile. In the fight of her life, all I can do is watch. There's no outlaw justice for what she's facing. No protection from the cold realities of life and death. But there's also no limit to what I would do for her.

Some men make the ultimate sacrifice. During my tour in Afghanistan, I was fully prepared to be one of them. That is, until the packages started arriving. Letters from my buddy's sister, full of tethers to the lives we left behind. Little did she know she kept me going, even when I started to lose hope. Now, my business and my club keep me sane. But the horrors of war never stay on the battleground. The moment I hear her whisper my name, I know. She's drowning in the chaos that follows every soldier home from war. And there's no one to help her fight her newfound demons. No one, that is, but me.

Blurb Coming Soon.
