Duty or love . . .

Hawk always knew he'd be next in line for the title of MC president, but he expected it to be passed on—not thrust upon him after his father was assassinated. Now he's stretched thin: running the club, keeping the peace at the clubhouse, and hunting for the ones responsible for his father's untimely death. His trust has all but disappeared when he discovers a secret forged by his father that puts his honor and loyalty to the test.

Katarina was groomed to be a bride—but a mafioso's bride, not a biker's. When she learns her powerful father has arranged her marriage to an MC president, she's crushed. She never dreamed of being so far from her only family, her home, and the one close friend she has. That is, until she meets the mysterious and powerful man she's promised to.

Neither Hawk nor Katarina were prepared for each other. Hawk didn't expect the surge of emotions Katarina awoke within him, and Katarina finds herself possessive of a man she barely knows while navigating a completely foreign way of life. Hawk is torn between his duty to the club, exacting revenge for his father, and his growing obsession with his new bride. She could be his undoing or his salvation—but either way, she'll push his rigid boundaries to their limits.

When Katarina's presence stirs up trouble at the clubhouse and Hawk gets closer to the truth behind his father's murder, loyalties will be tested—and not everyone will survive it.
