Six years ago, Cali Williams vanished without a word. One night of forbidden passion with her brother's best friend left her heartbroken... ...and carrying a secret she was never meant to face alone. Now she's back-bruised, guarded, and desperate to protect the only person who matters: her daughter, Isabelle who hasn't spoken a word in a year. Cali wants safety. She wants a fresh start. She definitely does not want to see Kane McKnight again-the man she loved, the man who shattered her, the man who can never know the truth. But fate has other plans. When Cali shows up at her brother Dex's penthouse, she doesn't expect to run into Kane there. Kane. Who is Older. Warmer. Still devastating handsome. And suddenly staring at her like she's a ghost he's been haunted by for years. Kane never forgot her. Not the way she looked at him. Not the tears he caused. Not the words he wished he could take back. Not the disappearance he's blamed himself for ever since. But the little girl napping in Dex's spare room changes everything. The art on the fridge. The toys scattered around the kitchen. The familiar shade in the child's eyes. Cali is hiding something. Kane can feel it in his bones. And the truth is about to break both of them. A story of second chances, healing from trauma, found family, buried secrets, and a love that refuses to die no matter how hard they try to kill it. ONLY EVER YOU Some stories begin with heartbreak. Some begin with lies. But theirs? It never really ended at all.

The rumble of motorcycles was the soundtrack to my childhood. The smell of oil, leather, and cigarette smoke clung to my clothes like a second skin. I was born into the life-Brighton Carter, daughter of Samcro's own Benny "Red" Carter. My dad was one of them, a lifer, a soldier in the club. He lived and breathed for the Sons of Anarchy. And he died for them too. A drive-by shooting took him when I was just thirteen. I remember the blood, the chaos, the way Jax held me as I screamed, my tiny fists pounding against his cut, demanding answers no one could give. My dad was gone. But Jax? He never left my side. Jax Teller and Opie Winston were my best friends, my safe place in a world that had already been so cruel. Jax, with his cocky smirk and messy blond hair, had always been the one to pull me out of the darkness, even when he was the cause of it. At sixteen, that darkness turned to something else-a craving I couldn't deny. We were drunk, reckless, and stupid. But damn, was it sweet. Jax had been my first everything that night, whispering promises in my ear between lazy kisses, his touch setting my body on fire. But promises meant nothing in Charming. I learned that the hard way. When I found out I was pregnant, I ran. I packed a bag, left a note, and vanished. I couldn't stay. Not when I knew what this life would do to my kid. Now, at twenty-three, I was back. I wasn't that naïve girl anymore.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much.

Axel's been my best friend for a long time. Despite our contrasting natures, we've always been close. He's confident, cocky, and a womanizer. I tend to be quiet and awkward. Either way, it works for us. He is my best friend, and nothing will change that. We have been through too much to let our relationship fall apart or allow anyone to come between us. Over the years, people have said that a guy and a girl can't be only friends. My response to them has always been the same: yes, they can because we are friends and nothing more. Those words rang truer than ever until I got a new boyfriend, and then things shifted. Axel doesn't like him, and soon, I find his behaviour changing towards me. He's behaving more like a jealous ex or boyfriend than a best friend. He's always been protective, but this is different. I try not to overthink it, but what I didn't expect was that one drunken kiss would change everything. Is one drunken kiss enough to ruin everything? I fear things are shifting between Axel and me. I'm scared to see how it plays out. Am I going to lose my best friend, or is what everyone said about us not being able to be only friends starting to become true? Cover by Covers By Sophie
