The Inheritance Duet - Book Two Three years later, nothing is the same. Luna is gone. Julian is left behind with the wreckage. The girl who once believed in mercy no longer exists, and the man who never feared consequences is forced to face them. Power has shifted, wounds have hardened, and the past refuses to stay buried. This time, mercy is not freely given. It is measured. It is conditional. And not everyone deserves it.

Feelings deepen. Power tilts. And mercy-once given freely-becomes the very thing used against her. By the time Luna understands the truth, it's already too late. Because some people don't break hearts. They break lives.

They both see something in each other and, before they realize it, that something begins to grow. Until Tommy discovers the truth he never saw coming. Something he believes he can't overcome. Shattered, he pushes Diane away, breaking the heart of a woman who was only just learning how to trust again. By the time he realizes his mistake, it's too late.

He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas "Priest" Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo "Blue" Thorne isn't looking for danger. After a brutal night in the ER, she finds solace in a bar-and in a man who promises nothing beyond one night. She agrees to his rules because she doesn't want forever. Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying. Now Priest must face the consequences of the rules he hid behind, the words he never said, and the woman he never claimed. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, he'll have to decide whether love is a weakness- -or the one thing worth bleeding for. PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.
