Ashes to Ashes
The Satan's Knights MC North Carolina Chapter, Book Three
This club is literally my family, and loving her is my ultimate betrayal...
Judas Iscariot. Benedict Arnold. Shady Burnside. We’re all traitors here. And though I never intended to disgrace this club, my brothers will never understand. Outlaw life is black and white, but humanity is a spectrum of grays. I've lived long enough in another man's shadow to know that sometimes doing what's wrong is actually what's right.
She’s everything I’m supposed to hate, a woman whose name is a curse in our clubhouse. But when she dares to darken our door like forbidden fruit growing in a garden of thorns, I do the one thing no one else bothered to do: I listen. Her words are tragic and heavy with guilt, and her eyes hold a grief so profound it makes my own feel like a shallow grave. She’s desperately searching for the light, but I’m a man who has chosen a life in the dark.
Loyalty demands that I silence her, or at the very least turn her away. But the more I listen, the more I realize she's a victim of our violent world too. She deserves forgiveness. She needs protection. And she's determined to earn vindication. But there won't be a fairy tale ending for her, only a collision between what we thought we knew and what I now have to help her prove. And that crash of truth among all the lies will be as raw and desperate as the heat between us as we realize we'd rather smolder in each other's arms than freeze all alone.
Every time I press her against the wall, I'm breaking my vow to my brotherhood. And every time my name falls from her swollen lips, I stop caring. I'm bound to accept death before dishonor, but there's no virtue in denying the truth. So either we burn together, or we finally set each other free.

"This book hit all the feels. So much raw emotion; You’ll need a box of tissue to get through it.
Beautifully written and you know it’s pure talent when an author can make you feel and have empathy for a character that you swore would never have any kind of redemption.
This story takes three broken people and shattered lives and puts them back together. So many realizations along the way. So many buried feelings brought to life.
It’s an absolute must read!"
