Austin Blackstone lives and breathes for his club-his family. At seventeen, tragedy brought Austin and his sister to Polson, Montana, to live with a grandfather they never met before. His life-altering move eventually put him on the path to finding the Kings of Retribution MC. The club represented a strong sense of family and brotherhood. It was an easy choice to make when offered the opportunity to prospect.

Time and time again, he proved his loyalty, and now, years later, Austin proudly wears the club's patch.

New Orleans is where he first laid eyes on Lelani. She needed their help, and he wanted nothing more than to protect her-to claim her as his own. The moment Austin allowed himself to kiss her, it became his undoing.

At the age of thirteen, Lelani Mancini's world was shattered when she lost her parents, along with her eyesight, in a tragic accident. Lelani's brother blames her for everything. Her parents' deaths leave a gaping hole in the Mancini family.

Feeling defeated and lost, Lelani struggled to adjust to a life of darkness. Though terrified of the unknown, she found the strength to move on.

Years later, Lelani uncovered a secret, with her at the center of the deception. She put her trust in the wrong hands, almost costing Lelani her life. Those who should protect her are the ones she fears the most. All that she has ever known is gone.

The darkness Lelani lived in was suffocating.

Until she found light in an overprotective, tattooed Kings of Retribution MC member.

Loving Austin is dangerous.

Now, to protect her new life, Lelani is the one keeping a secret.
