It isn't surprising that the Afghanistan War screwed with my mind. Joey's and my father's deaths sent me over the edge. Of course, it's no excuse for what I had done to the woman I love. Sinners bring up their boys to love and protect our females. But I broke the bikers' golden rule when Princess left me-I made her life a living, breathing hell. Why? Because I'm a prick. And when I got my shot at redemption two and a half years later, I blew that too. But I'm determined to uncover Princess's secrets and put our lives back on track, just as destiny had intended. There wasn't any notice, no time for me to prepare for the crushing blow Flame landed on me nearly seven years ago. Two weeks before our wedding, he threw down a ridiculous ultimatum, and I responded the way any self-respecting woman would-I ended us. Then I did what I've always done; I devoted myself to my career and became the most sought-after attorney in Helena, Montana. I set my sites on Landen Logging Company. I was determined to make Leon Landen pay for the deaths of my people-the Native Americans. Everything was on track with my revenge until a one-night stand with Flame changed my life forever.
