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.

I was never a woman who believed in promises. They always felt like wishes, soft things people made when they didn't know how else to hold on. Judas Mercer made them anyway. And somehow, he kept every single one. He waited for me when the world didn't. Built a life while I was still learning how to belong to one. Loved me in a way that I could finally trust. What I didn't realize was how much of our life already existed beyond me. How some bonds didn't begin with us but were already settled and familiar. She was a presence that had always been there. The woman from our past and our present woven into the spaces I thought were ours alone, standing there with us all along. Because Judas kept his promises. He just kept his secrets too. ~S~S~R~A~Y~N~E 🦋Perceived cheating 🦋Possessive MMC 🦋Dark romance themes 🦋high spice content

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.

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.

They call me brilliant. Untouchable. A man of power, sharpened by betrayal and perfected by silence. But the truth? I'm a ruin dressed in control. Then came her. Faith Chen. Nineteen. Too young. Too reckless. Too perfect. Green eyes like shattered glass, cutting straight through the walls I swore no one could breach. I should've looked away. Should've let Paris swallow her whole. Instead, I pulled her closer. And now-God help us both-I don't know if I want to save her, ruin her, or let her ruin me. But the cruelest part? She isn't just temptation. She's my son's girlfriend. Because in the end, everything burns. And this time, it's not just my past going up in flames.

ADRIAN I thought I had everything. A woman I loved. A thriving career. A child we were about to welcome into the world. But one temptation from my past nearly destroyed everything I had built. Two years later, our marriage still stands. But forgiveness doesn't erase betrayal. And time doesn't always heal. Yet... could we ever truly come back?
