She was his-- whether she knew it or not, she always had been.
Callahan "Dire" O'Shea
Carrigan Adair is more than just an Emerald Isle MC princess. She's also my absolute best friend . . . and I've been in love with her for years.
Nothing has ever happened between us, though, not even so much as a kiss, and I doubt it ever will. The last thing I want to do is take any chance that might ruin my friendship with her. She's my solace, my center. No matter what happens with my life or the club, I know I can come back to Carrigan and everything calms down.
I always thought I'd be okay when she finally got into a serious relationship, that I'd be happy for her. But jealousy is something I'm not used to, and it turns me into a force to be reckoned with.
When Carrigan is around, she seems happy with her new relationship until the night she comes in with bruises and a busted face. Turns out she's been hiding a hell of a lot from me, and now it's time she fesses up.
Her boyfriend may think he's untouchable because his crime family has his back. Yeah, well, he hasn't seen what family can do out of revenge . . . but he's about to.
I don't care how hard he tries to run and hide, I'm taking Carrigan back and making her mine, and then I'm taking his life for putting a hand on her.
