From USA Today bestselling author Heather Dahlgren comes a gripping new story in the world of the Royal Bastards MC. Torrent doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t falter. As President of the Royal Bastards newest chapter in Newport, Rhode Island, he’s calm under pressure, deadly when crossed, and loyal to the bone. He’s a man who leads with his head, fights with precision, and never lets emotions cloud his judgment. Building this club from the ground up took everything he had, and he refuses to let anything or anyone derail it. Until her. Tessa Levine didn’t come to Newport looking for a man, and she sure as hell wasn’t looking for a biker. Hardened by a brutal past and secrets that haunt her every step, she’s built her life around staying invisible. But Torrent sees her, and worse, he makes her feel seen. Wanted. Safe. They’re fire and gasoline. Wild, intense, and completely unpredictable. Their chemistry is explosive, their nights together hot enough to scorch, and the feelings growing between them threaten to bring them both to their knees. But when they give in to what’s building between them, Tessa’s past returns with a vengeance. Secrets unravel. Blood spills. And the very club Torrent built becomes the battleground for a war he didn’t see coming. The Bloody Scorpions want to destroy everything the Royal Bastards have built, and they’ve taken Tessa to do it. Now, with the woman he loves in the hands of his enemies, Torrent will unleash hell to get her back. Even if it means burning the whole city to the ground. Brotherhood. Blood. Redemption. In the world of the Royal Bastards, love isn’t a weakness. It’s war.
