According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

I always felt different. Like I never quite fit. The moment I found the club, it felt like home, even though it was 1600 miles from Jersey. As the joint SAA for the Houston Defiance MC, my job is to be protective. Keep my brothers at the club safe-be the first line of defense against those who seek to do us harm.

I'm broken. My fractured pieces held together by the grit of my brothers. My sanity - questionable at best. My pride - rocked every time someone says I'm a cold-blooded monster. It happened when she walked away. Forcing me to become the man I am today. Now, she's back with a threat on her tail, and I'm the only man who can protect her. My brothers don't know the reason she left, but they're about to find out. This story is a hell of a ride - it's chaotic, gritty, raw, and unrelenting.
