My entire world shattered in an instant. One phone call was all it took. Whatever triumph we felt in taking down the Governor was short-lived. Because the Rojas Cartel was already rising from the ashes. If we thought we’d won by wiping out Rico Rojas, we were dead wrong. His nephew isn’t just carrying the mantle—he’s rewriting the legacy of the Rojas name by gutting everything we’ve built from the inside out. Now we’re being torn apart at the seams. Clover and Phoenix are forced to flee to Vegas, Valerie’s fighting for survival in prison, and Alpha is drowning in a tsunami of emotions that threatens to pull him under. We’re surrounded, outnumbered, and running out of options. My only hope lies in a rogue bird who should have been set free when I liberated the Nest. But she’s working for Rojas. For the enemy. Nighthawk might have blood on her blade, but she could be the key to bringing down the Cartel once and for all. Trusting her means risking everything on the belief that birds of a feather truly do flock together. With families ripped apart and war erupting on all sides, I have to tap into the darkest parts of my training. Because when everything you love is at stake, it’s not just about survival—it’s about believing that in the end, Defiancé will come out victorious. From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly desired Fifth book in the LA Defiancé MC Series. This is a high-stakes, enemies-to-allies, forbidden love romance, featuring birds trained to kill, underground cartel operations, and Defiancé fighting for their lives. This is Part I of a two-part conclusion to the series.
