A mafia princess running for her life. A ruthless outlaw with nothing to lose. Crossing the line between our criminal worlds will start a war...

Houston Reed left the Sins of Wrath at eighteen and swore he'd never come back. A blown knee and a war he can't unsee drag him home anyway — a Marine without a mission, a killer without a leash, the president's son returning to a club soaked in his father's blood.

Then a beautiful stranger walks into his night. Innocent. Desperate. Running from something she won't name.

He doesn't find out until it's too late: she's Isabella Mazzeo, daughter of the most dangerous crime family on the West Coast — and the promised bride of a monster who collects women like property and discards whatever's left.

She's everything Houston has no right to touch. Every reason for the bikers and the mafia to go to war. And the only thing he suddenly can't live without.

He should hand her back. Instead he claims her — because some men are born to protect, and Houston Reed has finally found the one thing worth becoming a savage for.

But when they come for her, he'll ride straight into the heart of her father's empire and burn it down himself.

Perfect for fans of Sophie Lark's Brutal Birthright and Joanna Wylde's Reapers MC.
