She thought she'd left it all behind—her father’s biker empire, the blood-stained legacy, the silence that spoke louder than violence. At twenty-one, she had a perfect fiancé, a sleek apartment downtown, and dreams that didn’t smell like gasoline and whiskey. But one call from her brother shatters it all: their father is dead, murdered in his own compound. She has no choice but to return. Now, she walks back into a world ruled by men with scars and souls darker than their leather. And at the center of it all stands *him*—the enforcer. Her brother’s most loyal weapon. A man who once looked at her like she was untouchable. Now, his gaze burns. He’s kept his distance for years because she was off-limits. But the girl he swore to protect is gone. In her place: a woman forged in betrayal, her eyes sharp with pain and fire. And something inside him—long buried—roars to life.
