I have a life, a wife, and vows I swore I'd keep. Then Kylie came into my world. Not as a mistake. Not as a moment. But as a slow, dangerous pull I can't seem to escape. She's bold. Brilliant. And everything I shouldn't want. As days turn into something more, the lines between right and wrong blur, and I find myself torn between the life I built and the woman who's quietly taking over my heart. Because sometimes... it's not the fall that destroys you. It's the wanting.

I allowed myself to look past my intuition and distrust of a certain someone and their interactions with my fiancé ... I mean ex-fiancé. I chose trust in him over distrust of her at every crossroads his choices created, and now I'm lost. Maybe breaking it down again, piece by piece will help me look at the big picture logically. Maybe then I can feel less illogical pain and find my way back to myself again. A story about a relationship breaking down because of broken boundaries and a breakdown in communication.

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.

Finn: As secretary of the Iron Skulls MC, a one-percenter club, I'm the smart one. The strategist. The man who holds the brotherhood together with laws and loyalty. Then I crash my Harley, and ER nurse Riley Morgan stitches me up without an ounce of fear. She's all sharp wit and a code of ethics that should make her run from a man like me. Instead, she stands up to the cops for me, looks past my leather cut, and sees the man beneath. She's a complication I can't afford and a temptation I can't resist. But my world has rules. To make her mine, the club demands a brutal, archaic tradition-a price that will cost her more than her dignity. Now I'm caught between the brotherhood that raised me and the woman who is redefining my soul. They say no woman is worth a war. They haven't met Riley.
