I couldn't walk away.



It's not who I am. The moment I saw Rayne broken and bloodied, I knew I wasn't leaving without her.



As the president of the Houston Defiance MC, my job is to protect. And there's no taming the rage building inside my body, screaming at me to shield her from the husband who's beating her day in and day out.



Taking her was never in my plans, but plans change. I don't care if she's married. Or that her husband's a cop.



Our connection is explosive, it's dangerous, it's intoxicating. And I'm fast being swept up in her storm. It's something I can't ignore.



I thought the enemy was clear, and I was ready to fight. But maybe there's a threat we didn't see coming? Maybe there's someone closer to us than we ever could have imagined. Someone who could be the destruction of us both.
