Falling in love is rarely easy.<br />
<br />
For Blade and Olivia, it’s deadly.<br />
<br />
BLADE<br />
<br />
My brother and I have a plan.<br />
<br />
Step One: I graduate law school and pass the bar.<br />
<br />
Step Two: I help our club The Saints Outlaws get the casino we wanted off the ground.<br />
<br />
Step Three: I'd come back as the face of the casino but reclaim my seat as Vice President of the club.<br />
<br />
It seemed simple and it should have been.<br />
<br />
But I never planned on Olivia or the fact that our love would blow everything all to hell.<br />
<br />
OLIVIA<br />
<br />
I knew it was wrong. My brother will never let me be happy.<br />
<br />
But Blake made me want to try.<br />
<br />
Besides, it'd only be me who paid the price for loving Blade.<br />
<br />
At least that’s what I thought, but I was so wrong<br><br>*************FULL BOOK START HERE*************<br><br>1 BLADE<br><br>Six Years Ago<br />
<br />
“You have everything covered, stop worrying,” Bear laughs.<br />
<br />
“Man, this is an important meeting. I don’t want to fuck it up,” I mutter as we walk toward the Convention Center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.<br />
<br />
Bear surprises me by stopping before we begin walking up the concrete steps leading to the entrance. He claps his large, beefy hand on my shoulder, giving me a squeeze. “There’s a lot in this fucked-up world that I worry about, Blade, but I’ve never worried about you. You are going to ace this meeting and we’re going to achieve every damn thing we want. I have no doubts at all, and you shouldn’t either.”<br />
<br />
I stare at my brother. I can see the confidence he has in me. He’s fifteen years older than I am and he’s basically been the only father figure in my life. His approval means everything to me. “Thank you, Bear. I never want to disappoint you.”<br />
<br />
He grins and pounds me on the back. “You never will.”<br />
<br />
We start walking into the building. I allow myself to concentrate on him, trying to calm my nerves at the same time. Bear and I don’t really look like brothers. He took after our mother, who was a proud daughter of a Cherokee chief. My hair may be the color of my mother’s, and I have her eyes, but I mostly look like our father. That’s hard to swallow because he was nothing but a piece of shit. Bear’s hair is long, falling near the middle of his back. He is battle-hardened from his years in the Saints Outlaws Motorcycle Club. He moved from the mother chapter in Boston, coming back home to Cherokee, North Carolina to take over care of me after our mother died.<br />
<br />
Right now, it would be even harder to tell Bear and I are related. He’s wearing his faded jeans, a Metallica tee, with his hair hanging free and untamed, and his club cut proudly worn—regardless of the purpose we’re here today. On the other hand, I’m in a suit and tie. My hair is neatly trimmed, and my beard is gone. Fuck, I don’t even recognize myself when I look in the mirror. I don’t like it, but everything hinges on getting the approval for this casino.<br />
<br />
I’ll do whatever I need to do to ensure success. Our people need this. Right now, the town is a dying tourist trap, forcing proud people to play dress up—showing off their Native American heritage—and pose for pictures. This casino will put a stop to that, while injecting some much-needed capital. With that, we can make sure housing, as well as educational and professional opportunities are offered to our people and their children—like it should have been all along.<br />
<br />
This is important to both of us but even if it wasn’t a dream I shared with my brother, I’d still do it. I owe Bear everything. He put me through school, uprooted his life, and then allowed me to prove myself as a member of his club. I worked hard so that I could rule it beside my brother, yet only the immediate club recognizes me as the Vice President. It wasn’t a position I was handed, I earned it, taking down any challenge for the office that I received.<br />
<br />
Now, I’m hiding who I am. I don’t want any of these bigwigs thinking I’m part of the club. I’ve taken steps constantly to hide that fact—I’ve had to. We didn’t want any bias from the assholes on the board. They didn’t need to find a reason to deny our right to put in the casino. After we get the approval and have the right men in place, they’re all in for a shock.<br />
<br />
It wouldn’t be so bad, but there’s a club trying to move into our area that Bear has been fighting. The Feral Kings MC are slime. We’ve been fighting them for a while. We’ve lost a couple of members in the war, but we’ve taken some of their ranked members, too. We’ll win, but right now is not a good time to wage an all-out war. Bear says we have to make the casino our priority. He’s right, but the quicker we can take the Feral Kings and their president, Eyeball, out—the better. He’s a sick, twisted asshole who is quite literally a psychopath. If any man deserves to die, it’s him.<br />

Blade has spent the last four years in jail for a murder he didn’t commit.<br />
When he’s released, his anger is directed at the woman he once vowed to love for the rest of his life.<br />
Yet, there are secrets he doesn’t know.<br />
Lies surround him.<br />
When she pleads her innocence, he doesn’t buy it. Blade vows to make her pay.<br />
Will he destroy his future because of his past?<br><br>*************FULL BOOK START HERE*************<br><br>1 BLADE<br><br>“It’s over, brother. The Feral Kings have been disbanded. With the help of the Savage Brothers, the Devil’s Blaze, and their allies, it’s done. We’ve personally taken over the Feral Kings’ old clubhouse, and most of them are dead. You can finally get out of this hellhole and get your life back.”<br />
<br />
“If you believe that, Hangman, I put the wrong man in charge all these years.”<br />
<br />
“It’s not like that, Blade. I just meant you don’t have to go after Olivia. She didn’t help her brother kill Bear. She was his victim, too. We got evidence of that. We’ll kill them all, I promise you. I’m already working on it. My point is only that you can get out of here, breathe fresh air, and end this with their deaths. There’s no need of going further.”<br />
<br />
“It’s not finished. It will never be completely finished until they are all dead, and I’ve made them feel the pain I’ve felt inside of me for over four years. I want them all to suffer, and that includes that fucker’s sister. She has the same blood inside her that is flowing in his veins. I want them all wiped off the face of this earth, just like my brother was. I want to watch their world crash around them. I want my hands wrapped around their throats when they take their last breath. I made a vow to Bear that I would make them pay, and by God, they will.”<br />
<br />
“Do you really think Bear would want you to take this revenge out on an innocent girl? If you think that, you don’t remember your brother the way he was, Blade.”<br />
<br />
“I remember Bear perfectly,” I growl. My hand trembles with the need to strike Hangman down. We might be as close as brothers, but he doesn’t know the rage inside me. He’s right, Bear wouldn’t want me hurting Olivia. He always had a soft spot for women, and that helped lead to his demise. Still, he didn’t see her that night I was captured. He didn’t hear her confession. I won’t kill Olivia, but she will suffer. I’ll destroy her in a much more painful way than death. She might not have helped her brother, but she distracted me that day. She was the reason I wasn’t there protecting Bear’s back. “If you and the club won’t support me, I’ll do this on my own,” I finally answer with a shrug. It’s not like I haven’t been on my own while in jail. I’ll get my revenge without help. I don’t really give a fuck.<br />
<br />
“Don’t be stupid. You know this is your club. We’ll support you. We know what’s driving you, and we want the same. I just don’t think Olivia should be part of it.”<br />
<br />
“That’s not your decision,” I respond, slightly relieved that my club still has my back. “I won’t be reporting back to the club for another month. I have other things to set up first. I get out Friday and I’ll be living at the resort. Have Layna get the crew to clean it and make sure it’s ready for me.”<br />
<br />
I see the look on his face at the mention of Layna. She’s a mercenary bitch, but she does what I tell her to do. She also knows to stay in my graces because she likes money and power. Of course, the woman mistakenly thinks that means it will all be hers one day, but that will never happen. The last woman I let my guard down around cost me everything. Truthfully, I picked Layna because I knew it would be a slap in the face to Olivia. It will just be a minor hurt compared to what I will dish out to her, however.<br />
<br />
“I’ll make sure it gets done,” he finally responds, clearly upset.<br />
<br />
“Good. I’ll contact you once I get out Friday.”<br />
<br />
“You don’t want one of us to pick you up?”<br />
<br />
“I’ve had Eagle arrange for a car to pick me up and bring me to the resort. I’ll set up a meeting with you after I get some things set up.”<br />
<br />
“You know, in case you need reminding, we’re not your employees, we’re your brothers, Blade. We’re family.”<br />
<br />
Guilt hits me at once, but I push it away. “I have to do this. I can’t step back into my life until I do. Bear deserves to rest easy, and I’m going to make sure he gets to.”<br />

<br />
Step One: I graduate law school and pass the bar.<br />
<br />
Step Two: I help our club The Saints Outlaws get the casino we wanted off the ground.<br />
<br />
Step Three: I'd come back as the face of the casino but reclaim my seat as Vice President of the club.<br />
<br />
It seemed simple and it should have been.<br />
<br />
But I never planned on Olivia or the fact that our love would blow everything all to hell.<br />
<br />
OLIVIA<br />
<br />
I knew it was wrong. My brother will never let me be happy.<br />
<br />
But Blake made me want to try.<br />
<br />
Besides, it'd only be me who paid the price for loving Blade.<br />
<br />
At least that’s what I thought, but I was so wrong<br><br>*************FULL BOOK START HERE*************<br><br>1 BLADE<br><br>Six Years Ago<br />
<br />
“You have everything covered, stop worrying,” Bear laughs.<br />
<br />
“Man, this is an important meeting. I don’t want to fuck it up,” I mutter as we walk toward the Convention Center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.<br />
<br />
Bear surprises me by stopping before we begin walking up the concrete steps leading to the entrance. He claps his large, beefy hand on my shoulder, giving me a squeeze. “There’s a lot in this fucked-up world that I worry about, Blade, but I’ve never worried about you. You are going to ace this meeting and we’re going to achieve every damn thing we want. I have no doubts at all, and you shouldn’t either.”<br />
<br />
I stare at my brother. I can see the confidence he has in me. He’s fifteen years older than I am and he’s basically been the only father figure in my life. His approval means everything to me. “Thank you, Bear. I never want to disappoint you.”<br />
<br />
He grins and pounds me on the back. “You never will.”<br />
<br />
We start walking into the building. I allow myself to concentrate on him, trying to calm my nerves at the same time. Bear and I don’t really look like brothers. He took after our mother, who was a proud daughter of a Cherokee chief. My hair may be the color of my mother’s, and I have her eyes, but I mostly look like our father. That’s hard to swallow because he was nothing but a piece of shit. Bear’s hair is long, falling near the middle of his back. He is battle-hardened from his years in the Saints Outlaws Motorcycle Club. He moved from the mother chapter in Boston, coming back home to Cherokee, North Carolina to take over care of me after our mother died.<br />
<br />
Right now, it would be even harder to tell Bear and I are related. He’s wearing his faded jeans, a Metallica tee, with his hair hanging free and untamed, and his club cut proudly worn—regardless of the purpose we’re here today. On the other hand, I’m in a suit and tie. My hair is neatly trimmed, and my beard is gone. Fuck, I don’t even recognize myself when I look in the mirror. I don’t like it, but everything hinges on getting the approval for this casino.<br />
<br />
I’ll do whatever I need to do to ensure success. Our people need this. Right now, the town is a dying tourist trap, forcing proud people to play dress up—showing off their Native American heritage—and pose for pictures. This casino will put a stop to that, while injecting some much-needed capital. With that, we can make sure housing, as well as educational and professional opportunities are offered to our people and their children—like it should have been all along.<br />
<br />
This is important to both of us but even if it wasn’t a dream I shared with my brother, I’d still do it. I owe Bear everything. He put me through school, uprooted his life, and then allowed me to prove myself as a member of his club. I worked hard so that I could rule it beside my brother, yet only the immediate club recognizes me as the Vice President. It wasn’t a position I was handed, I earned it, taking down any challenge for the office that I received.<br />
<br />
Now, I’m hiding who I am. I don’t want any of these bigwigs thinking I’m part of the club. I’ve taken steps constantly to hide that fact—I’ve had to. We didn’t want any bias from the assholes on the board. They didn’t need to find a reason to deny our right to put in the casino. After we get the approval and have the right men in place, they’re all in for a shock.<br />
<br />
It wouldn’t be so bad, but there’s a club trying to move into our area that Bear has been fighting. The Feral Kings MC are slime. We’ve been fighting them for a while. We’ve lost a couple of members in the war, but we’ve taken some of their ranked members, too. We’ll win, but right now is not a good time to wage an all-out war. Bear says we have to make the casino our priority. He’s right, but the quicker we can take the Feral Kings and their president, Eyeball, out—the better. He’s a sick, twisted asshole who is quite literally a psychopath. If any man deserves to die, it’s him.<br />
