Declan: I was born into this world. I am what it made me. I do things that others find disgusting. I broke many rules when I met Brooke. She showed up one night, and I took advantage of that. When she kept coming back, I knew there was more to her. One day changed it all. One secret from my past blew our relationship out of the water. Brooke: Loss was all I knew. It creeps around every corner. One dare. That's all it took. The night I met Declan, I was on the high of my life. I felt safe with him. Little did I know, his secrets were also mine. When his past is revealed, I lose it. 

They took away my life. They sucked the air from my lungs. When they left me a clue as to who they were, I knew I would get my revenge. I planned and plotted. I watched her from a distance. What a better way to hurt the ones that hurt me. I will take their daughter and use her to my liking. When she’s broken and begging for death, I will send her back to them ruined.

He told me that, sometimes, you have to get mean. And so, I embraced my mean. I hated it at first but as time went on, being mean became second nature.

Called back home from the military to a village overrun by crime, my father in a coma in the hospital. My family and our businesses threatened. The last thing I expected during all the turmoil was to meet the perfect woman. When a Crow man meets his one, he knows.

Remi’s had all she can take. Losing her dad nearly destroyed her, but she doesn’t have time to fall apart. She needs to run his business and finish college. Romance is nowhere on her agenda. And she especially doesn’t have time for the sexy biker who does bad, bad things to her concentration.... Steel wasn’t looking for love, either—until he saw Remi. He knew she was his at a glance. Now all he has to do is convince her of that. Easy, right? If only...
