I was born to fight. Then the military cut me loose. Civilian life. Two words dirtier than the bloodshed downrange. I didn’t want my freedom. I wanted my goddamn purpose back. I wanted my government issued rifle in my hands. I wanted to taste the grit of foreign soil. I wanted to fight until I drew my last breath... Then she crossed in front of my path—carrying our child. MASON’S RESOLUTION (Book Two) I loved the army. Call me crazy, but I ate, breathed, and lived for combat. I’d have my brothers’ backs until the day we died. I was loyal to the core. I sure as hell didn’t plan on having it taken from me—but sometimes sh*t happens. Expendable. That’s what I was to the army. A broken soldier, cast to the side. I needed the adrenaline rush of hitting the drop zone. I needed my rifle and the chaos of battle. I needed my goddamn honor back…The Demented Sons stepped in and gave me my reason to live.

Betrayal left a bitter taste in my mouth and I didn’t care if I made it back alive. Too bad I lived when those around me died.

They showed me they had my back. But I sure as hell would never need anyone again. Then she strutted on stage and I was a goner. KAYDE’S TEMPTATION (Book Four) The Marine Corps made me ruthless. Able to kill a man without batting an eye—I was a cold, heartless bastard. I proved it by sleeping with my best friend’s wife the night of his funeral. Then I walked out the door. She’d always been my greatest weakness and my biggest temptation, but she deserved better than me. After taking one too many bullets, I was discharged from the Corps. I moved across the country and the Demented Sons became my family. I vowed to never see her again. Then she begged me to help her disappear.

One bad decision – getting into business with the wrong person – is all it takes to bring down the entire MC. It’s happened before to his predecessor, which is why Malcolm refuses to let it happen again on his watch. He doesn’t trust anyone except for the few men who wear the same ace of spades patch on their back. And that’s exactly why he doesn’t ever take his eyes off of me – the new girl. I never intended to make an enemy out of Malcolm or the MC when I was sent to steal everything I could from them. After Malcolm finds out what I’ve been doing, he’s furious and shows no mercy until I spill all of my secrets, ones that could very well end my life. That’s when he makes me a surprising offer – he’s willing to take care of all of my problems, and the only thing he’s asking for in return is for me to completely surrender myself to him.

So if she wants to stay out of trouble, she’ll have to get on Nash’s good side – if she can find it. Nash convinces himself that the only thing he has in common with Lucy is a broken heart.
