Never fall in love with a client. Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game. The rule never bothered me.

But helping him get his life back together could cost me my heart . . . and destroy his friendship with my brother.

That might be my toughest gig yet.

I've been called many things, most of which are true. But when you're an outlaw, you wear those words like badges of honor on your cut. I grew up in the Devil's Skull MC. It's all I know. It's all I've ever wanted to be.

The world of searchers and settlers goes unchanged, but Emry, Sebastian, and Theo's lives will never be the same. Emry is the first settler to be touched by the bond, but even when destiny has its own plans, she won't leave her husband, Sebastian. Theo doesn't want her to. It's not long before their new family is put to the test, and the places they think are safe and people they begin to trust betray them. After Emry is abducted by an old enemy, the men work together for the woman they both love, making a connection even the bond couldn't create.

We’ll never run away. There won’t be stars or a blue sky filled with heaven staring down on us. All we have is death and destruction. A life sentence, forced to survive within the absence of our love. Until five years later. “Death isn’t waiting for Calder—it’s listening for his instruction."

Sitting on my throne, I reign over the underworld with a fist of iron. The darkness runs deep within me as I revel in the violence of depravity, for I am King of all I rule, and this is hell. Times are changing. Enemies old and new are challenging us. If Naturals and Humans want to survive, they must combine their forces. It didn't work before, so why do they think it will this time? Will all be lost? You brought yourself into my line of sight. You willingly walked into my domain. She thought she knew what she was walking into. She has no clue. She is a temptation I can not deny.
