Katya Clairmont has survived the worst and rebuilt her life around three things: her son, her best friend Jax, and her independence. Taking a job at Kingston Lux Holdings is supposed to be practical-a paycheck with the added bonus of working with the company's celebrated women's foundation. Instead, it drops her straight into the path of Sinclair Kingston, the impossibly intimidating CEO who mistakes her strength for scheming and her mishaps for flirting. Sinclair built an empire by controlling every variable, every risk-especially his heart. Katya is the one woman he can't file neatly away: infuriating, vulnerable, and impossible to ignore. When sabotage from his past threatens her career and her reputation, Sinclair must decide if loyalty to image is worth losing the only woman who's ever made him want more. A story of sharp banter, stolen glances, found family, and second chances-Sinners & Saints is where power, passion, and redemption collide.

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.
