He called her his. His ol' lady. His wife. Property of Clutch. Rebecca "Bex" Pierce never belonged to anyone. She chose him. She stood beside him. She wore his patch with pride. Until the night he chose wrong. When a lie tears through the Dawnbreakers MC, loyalty turns toxic and pride turns cruel. In front of his brothers, in front of the clubhouse, Clutch does the one thing Bex never thought he would. He doesn't hit her. He doesn't cheat. He just doesn't believe her. And if he doesn't believe her? Then the patch means nothing. So she takes it off herself. Throws it at his feet. And walks away from the only life she's ever known. No protection. No club. No husband. The fallout fractures the Dawnbreakers from the inside out. Secrets unravel. Brothers fall. The club reforms. But the woman he lost? She isn't waiting to be claimed again. If Clutch wants his wife back, he won't just have to apologize. He'll have to rebuild everything he broke. Publicly. Relentlessly. Without expecting forgiveness. Because this time, she isn't property of anyone. Not even him. This story was born inside the Grovel & Betrayal Facebook group during a live "build-a-book" day. You asked for: • Public humiliation • Believed-the-wrong-person betrayal • Nuclear heartbreak • A man who has to earn her back And as I was reading your comments, one character kept echoing in my head. Clutch. You met him in Unlawful Hearts. You saw the quiet weight he carried. You heard him whisper to Remi. You watched him stand in the fire with the Dawnbreakers. This is his story. Welcome back to the Redemption Road world, this is within the same timeline as Unlawful Hearts.

On the morning of her third wedding anniversary, Charlotte Wilson learns the truth-her husband, David Jones, has been betraying her for years with her best friend, Morecea Hale. The betrayal cuts deeper when she discovers her stepsister, Anna Wilson, has been helping them, eager to seize the inheritance her mother left behind. Stripped of her shares, framed for fraud, and left to die in a staged "accident," Charlotte's final moments are filled with one bitter truth: the people she trusted most were the ones who destroyed her. But death is not the end. Charlotte wakes up five years in the past-two years before her doomed marriage-armed with the knowledge of every betrayal, every deal, and every face that smiled while stabbing her in the back. This time, she will not be the woman they ruined. She will be the storm that topples their world. With her foresight, she builds an empire untouchable by lies, dismantling her enemies piece by piece. Her path unexpectedly collides with Warren Solomons-her former childhood friend turned bitter rival, now one of the most dangerous businessmen in the city. In a game where trust is a currency no one can afford, Warren becomes both her greatest challenge and her most unlikely ally... if she dares let him in before the final reckoning.

Guarded and distant, Catherine learns how to stand without breaking. As Theodore watches the girl he pushed away become someone he can't control, desire turns into regret... and regret into love. But the girl he hurt remembers everything. And by the time he's ready to choose her, Catherine may no longer be sure she should choose him.
