He was a rugged man she met in a bar - a man Grace couldn't get out of her head.... A week later, she came home to find him sweaty and shirtless with a tape measure in hand, remodeling her loft.

Secrets. Every one of his brothers in the Blood Fury MC has them. Including Rook. Especially Rook. What he’s done in his past. What he’s involved in currently. What he still needs to do.

Problem is, his club’s on the verge of war, so she’s either with the Fury or against them. If she’s against them, she’s against them all. Including Rook. Especially Rook.

Shade has a secret. One he’s hidden most of his life. Secrets created in his past. Of a broken family. A little boy lost. Of broken dreams. With only nightmares left in their wake. As a prospect, his MC nicknamed him Shady because he’s quiet and keeps to himself. As a patched member of the Blood Fury, he changed it to Shade, because that’s what he prefers...to stick to the shadows. Then he sees her. A flicker of light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. The only problem is, he may never escape that darkness until he sheds the chains of his past that weigh him down.

My new assignment at work: Test out toys. Yup, that kind. Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely. One problem?

Have you ever had the feeling you were a stranger? Out of reach, I watched and mourned me. Nothing moved. Breathed. Nothing lived. I was in an alternate universe. No longer an innocent. I had blood on my hands, and I wasn't even sorry for it. I was only afraid for Keiran. Of his reaction when the shock wore off. It would be an explosion. Of hurt, anger, and mistrust. He'd know I lied. And to him...the betrayal born of my good intentions is worse than the act of murder.
