Eyes so blue I swear it's like looking at the turquoise waters of the Greek Isles. Those are the first memories I have of Kyra. For years I stood on the sidelines, watching and waiting for my perfect chance. Wanting her so badly, consumes my every thought. There are so many things I thought I knew. But the truth is . . . I don't know the real Kyra. But what I do know is that I will stop at nothing to know her. I am mesmerized by her beauty, captured by her smile, and warmed by the love she has for her Gran.

I was happy being single. No relationship drama. No woman putting demands on my time. I had my family and my club. I didn't need anyone else. But when a mysterious brunette walked into our clubhouse, something inside me shifted. She wasn't like anyone I'd ever met. Everything I prided myself on, being unattached, emotionally unavailable, in it for nothing but sex . . . it all shattered.

Vivian had a literal unicorn...and tragically lost him. Her daughter is a kirin, a lucky Chinese unicorn, her son is eight months and already has four teeth, and she's working full-time as a nurse. She doesn't have the time for romance, no matter how handsome the new temporary pediatrics doctor is. She definitely doesn't have time for the puppy her daughter desperately wants.

I'd been in survival mode my entire life, battling the ghosts of my past, believing I was destined to either die at a young age or end up in jail. Thankfully, neither occurrence happened, although not for a lack of trying. I'd succumbed to the idea I'd be alone for the rest of my life. It was the reason I closed myself off from everyone. I had nothing to offer except anger and regret. Then I found solace when I joined the Knights Corruption, discovering the sense of family I'd longed for.

A chance encounter with two members from a local MC changed my life, but not in a good way. At least, not at first. After being tortured because of who my biological father was, a man I'd only met a handful of times, the president of the club gave me two choices. Either end up in the ground or become a prospect for the Knights Corruption. My decision was a no brainer. I fought alongside them in a war against a rival club, teetering between life and death multiple times, but I wouldn't change a thing because belonging to the KCMC allowed me to meet the love of my life.

On the outside, I was nothing more than the fun-loving guy that made everyone laugh. But on the inside, there was more hate than I knew how to control. No one knew the life I'd led; I hid my demons well. But even in all the anger and pain, there was one spark of sweetness.

I was the ultimate bachelor. I enjoyed my wild life, the late nights, and the fact that I had no commitments. My job and my freedom were all I needed. Or so I thought.
