I’ve screwed up more times than I can count. Trouble has always been my shadow, and I’ve never cared much about fixing the messes I leave behind. But then I walked into a poker game and won something I never expected...her.
Brooke.
A girl with haunted eyes, a body that trembles but doesn’t break, and a past that makes me want to burn the world down. She’s fragile and fierce all at once, and she doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine.
I’ll prospect for the club. I’ll swallow my pride, take the shit jobs, and do whatever it takes to earn that patch. Because with it comes protection that's not just for me, but for her. And I’ll bleed before I let anyone take her away again.
Brooke
Eight years. That’s how long I lived by someone else’s rules. Obey. Stay silent. Don’t think. Don’t choose. Survival meant being what they wanted.
Then Carter ripped me out of that cage, literally. He doesn’t bark orders like Marco did, but he also doesn’t let me drift. He sees me, steadies me, even when I can’t find my own footing. And he confuses me more than anyone ever has because he doesn’t demand, he asks.
I don’t know what freedom looks like. I don’t know what it feels like to be touched without fear. But every time Carter looks at me like I’m more than the sum of my scars, a dangerous thought whispers louder.
Maybe I can be his.
Not as a possession.
Not as a prize.
But as a woman who finally gets to choose.
A raw, emotional MC romance about a man willing to burn for redemption, a woman learning to reclaim her voice, and the kind of love that heals by breaking all the old rules.
